Irony is, a lot of larger office building thermostats are really only there for display purposes (thermometer), not for control purposes (actually functional).

It’s funny. Security folks say how insecure Windows XP is, and how it becomes compromised within seconds/minutes of having an internet connection. It’s like Microsoft took that as a playbook challenge to repeat as an OOTB feature, instead of waiting for malware to do it.
Our profit margin demands you buy over-priced books from our shop
College material monopolies should be illegal, just like all other monopolies. Want to give students an education in the real world? Let the free market determine textbook prices.
Teams is doing the same thing. I can’t go anywhere close to anything Microsoft without some Copilot I didn’t ask for getting jammed in.
I was referring to services like Apple Pay
“AI” is the new “cloud”
Until you get hit by a card skimmer. Encrypted NFC is safer than a physical card.
Or when playing a station, ans saying “Siri, I dislike this song”. Instead of disliking the song, it just restarts the station, and some times, it’ll even play the dame damned song again.
That’s likely the plan, but they have to start with known-working hardware configurations first.
Yeah my point is it does not protect the local device well. It does protect well from remote compromise though.
If I’m on my laptop, and the 2fa code shows on that same laptop, it defeats the purpose of it. The point is sortation of security privileges, ask this just adds more work while providing no less security to the device. It does protect you from remote compromise, though.
Yeah, Apple 2FA is infuriating, especially since you can do all factors from the same device. Kind of defeats the purpose of traditional 2FA/MFA. Also, companies that decide you 2FA experience has to use their app, instead of a standards-compliant TOTP app of your choosing…ugh.
Ad tech IS the tracking, so if you’re not blocking ads, you’re not actually refusing said tracking. I think you might be conflating cookies with being tracking (they are), but that’s only a part of it.
Yeah, Plex lifetime was worth it.
The only time I ever fell for a “lifetime” software purchase was back when Trillian (the IM client) was popular. That lasted less than 5 years. Then they released “Astas”, which was just a UI refresh, but they treated it like it was a whole new company and product. “Lifetime” is always a scam.
I just listened to the Criminal podcast on that, recently. Fascinating cultural moment.
I just went in and manually edited my display name to my previous asshole of a boss. Two can play this game. If they want to get rid of anonymous content, then let them deal with poisoned content.
Team Blind is decent, at least in the tech sector.
I didn’t know that either but I’d also never divulge that info on an inbound phone call.
Cries in USA, paying $230/mWh. At least solar effectively zeroes out my usage via net metering, in the warmer months.
