  • Constant password expiration was/is an attempt to get users to rotate passwords after they themselves have disclosed/otherwise compromised their sign on information or abandoned/orphaned their account. It's a drag net. A stupid one. But ironically if it was enforced on all active accounts, it's a drag net that would've even saved Microsoft from compromise by the Russians. So it does have it's uses in some regard, but to be honest it seems like the state of all security and authentication mechanisms is currently in between 💩 and 🗑️🔥 as far as design and intuition goes. Why I need a password manager for 1000+ accounts instead of being able to generate/sign my own cryptographic authentication tickets in an intuitive way is beyond me. Passkeys is getting there, but having used them, I can still definitively say the implementation is unintuitive trash.

  • Low toner

  • Fun fact: your electronic devices that render graphics are completely capable and in my opinion almost certainly do this as well. We use a business version of it at our enterprise and while it is additional software layered over windows, it's completely imperceptible to the naked eye and I doubt such technology wouldn't be immediately rolled out as quickly as possible by pretty much everyone at a "top secret" level.

  • Depends. Also, I've had mine mistakenly flag my account to warden and blizzard support said they do not support or recommend running it under wine as "it doesn't meet their operating system requirements" so just be prepped for zero help if you get caught in any anti-cheat dragnet.

  • To be fair that's a symptom of the 2 party system. There's just as many democrats that would see this as inane as there are ones that would support it. I think most people who would vote dem could agree we should have stricter control of when and how we share our data though; so you get a voter base that isn't properly represented because they don't have to be because they only have one choice among progressive voting lines.

  • Do you get something from asking this open ended unanswerable question? Are you intending to invoke some sort of internal dialog within me? Or do you mean to imply that there's inherently some value in this senseless article and argument that is so true that both I and the very inventors of the term and field of science are both wrong for acknowledging the senselessness of gate keeping in this way? Your question only spawns more, none of them particularly worth asking but I do find occasionally myself with an abundance of wasteable time whilst I oversee progress bars.

  • Nobody can dictate what an astronaut is and isn't. The FAA and NASA specifically wanted it to be this way so culture wars and shit posts like this wouldn't happen. 😮‍💨 Idk why people forget that.

  • It's likely done in an automated way by the same equipment that tests the hardware, so costs are probably more along the lines of a few fractions of a penny, and imo shipping any device without an os at all is a bit silly as they could very likely end up in the hands of someone without the capability or equipment to image them.

  • Indexing websites adds significant traffic to those sites. It's not a good idea for the health of the internet for everyone to be Indexing, maybe you should search for a precompiled index you can train the lmm on and distribute it daily. Or do the crawling yourself and distribute that index.

  • Boeing: "Uhh. Not sure why those thrusters failed, but let's ship some astronauts." 🧐 Seems like further mission testing with a planned vehicle recovery mission was necessary before sending up astronauts. I imagine the cost would've been great, but that's aerospace. Every skipped check is likely to be paid for in lives lost.

  • Can you explain what you mean by selling your data? I'm not intimately familiar with the controversy, but it was my understanding that they're not really selling it, it's just some weird legal ramifications that come with the term "selling" or something?

  • And 15 yachts, a small mall, two movie theaters in his summer property, 5 garages, 50 lambos for the garages... List goes on and on. So much material and prosperity gathering dust and rust at the whims of the greedy and selfish.

  • Sit here. Panic. Hope to not die, become imprisoned, etc. Look around at my fellow "citizens" who are enjoying what they've voted in despite the affects it will surely have on themselves. Etc. Pretty much what I would've guessed, honestly.

  • Replaced the fan with a bad bearing on one of my proxmox hosts today. For a short while I figured I was going crazy because it seemed to stop making noise when I actually got close to the server, but it finally fully gave today and I was able to identify and swap it.
