Someone somewhere in Russia: Runs out to buy 20 more cameras for multiple angles

a bitlockered crowdstriked active directory server storing all of the bitlocker recovery keys.

If you didn’t make a backup of the recovery key to the master server holding all other keys that’s on you

Windows Defender, AV’s pretty much need to hook into the kernel to do the job. This can be problematic with third party ones as they’re just not as tightly integrated with and developed alongside Windows itself…as we’ve seen with the crowdstrike 2K24 incident lol

And Windows Defender is actually pretty good, MS has put good effort and investment into it.

It’s probably the price of a cheese pizza and a large soda back where he used to work, 1077

If only Dark Brandon would be allowed to send this to the court in reply

I would do option A, but instead of just not using the free internet, I would use it for everything else not needing server services. So like streaming or general browsing.

Just leaving the Google fiber as a dedicated pipe for all my self hosted services

You can do this kind of split with pfSense easily

I am just shocked, SHOCKED I say. Well, not that shocked.

When passing or storing data in code you usually have to specify what type of data is it. An int is an integer, so numbers, there’s also boolean (true/false) and many others. There’s also string which is just characters of any kind (for the most part) which pretty much makes it a catch-all, since numbers can be a string along with letters and special characters.

But to use a number as a number after it’s been received as a string it has to be converted to an int, which means extra code, more effort, more failure points etc etc.

“if that guy ever comes back in the building I’ll quit”

You can’t just leave a story like that lol, did “sr dev” come back into the building? Did the other dev follow through on his threat? So many questions

Right, just checked their website and a maxed 15 pro max is 1600$ lol that’s a lot for what you get

If you lack an IDE port on your motherboard

Bro, IDE has been dead for YEARS now, I’d be shocked if there was an IDE connector on any consumer computer made in the last 10 years (Industrial stuff can get weird)

A simple scan is fine, but to actually image a dying drive for recovery purposes, you should absolutely be doing a direct connection

Sprint was genuinely struggling.

They were on the verge of bankruptcy, really the 2 options were

1. Let T-Mobile (a distant third competitor to the big 2) buy them

2. Let sprint die, the big 2 buy large chucks of sprint anyways for pennies on the dollar post-bankruptcy and make their distance from T-Mobile even bigger.

If you need another reason, AT&T was very against the deal, so you KNOW what they think is bad is probably actually good for consumers

I’ve got to get to a damn gym right now

Not until we’re having to sit through upwards of 20 minutes on ads per “1 hour” episode

who owns RCS and has more sway on carriers

If that were true, RCS would have been implemented by carriers LONG ago like they were supposed to (the original spec was launched in 2008), well before imessage came out in 2011 and we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

But you know who actually does have a TON of sway with Carriers? Apple. You know who probably could have actually gotten them to implement RCS? Apple. Apple could have solved the RCS dilemma even before Google decided to do things themselves.

Apple didn’t even need to do much, just drop the mere hint that if carriers didn’t start implementing RCS they might stop selling the iPhone through them and they would have bent over backwards to get it done.

They didn’t because iMessage is just another tool to keep people locked into their ecosystem, and they’ve admitted as much. And any excuse of “Oh we wanted to work with the GSM consortium blah blah blah” is just that, an excuse for Apple fanboys like you to latch onto and parrot.

country in the world invade our Southern border, taking a week off work to prepare for a debate (who’s running the country?).

A good president can do that because a good president actually appoints good people that can be trusted to run things instead of a bunch of sycophants

And don’t forget the biggest difference of all, saying in court that they aren’t News but a “News entertainment network”

For one, Google never wanted to implement or run RCS, the carriers were supposed to do that specifically to prevent the fragmentation issue. But they couldn’t get off their ass, even after Google spent years pushing them to do so.

For two, even after Google said fuck the carriers I’ll do it myself, Apple was invited to participate in its implementation and Apple refused. They could have worked with Google to implement RCS across all devices. They didn’t because they want to keep people locked into their ecosystem. They had a great opportunity to ensure all the privacy and encryption features were implemented how they liked.

You don’t care, because you’re an adult, what you or I see as a simple visual indicator is yet another thing that HS teens will use to bully and peer pressure with.

But you should care in the sense that Apple is exploiting teens still developing brains and maturity with dark patterns to get them “hooked for life” in a way.
