Oh wow guys this looks incredi… 🤧Achoo!!

Fuck!

First they came for the sex, then they came after the drugs. Now they’re trying to take my rock and roll

I do this with tooth paste.

I’ve started buying two tubes at a time because I can’t be trusted

When I saw the hell in a cell reference I got a little excited. Then slightly sad

Linus tech tips recently reviewed a car with semi auto self driving. It can keep you in the lane and at the right speed. He said it’s perfect for school zones because he knows he doesn’t have to watch the Speedo and give that extra attention to watching for kids walking out. I have to agree with him, there is a school on my commute and the speed drops to 20mph. I let the car do that bit while I worry about little (or sometimes big) feet.

Would I trust that system to spot a child before I do? Not a chance.

404 - I have no idea what you’re looking for, but I know this’ll cheer you up …

I once got locked out of an HP printer because it chopped off the last few characters of a password. Only figured it out because somebody had made a comment online about password length

There are so many ways they can put the squeeze on. Session time limit, throttle fraffic, restrict usage times etc.

Then you can sell a monthly VPN+ subscription and offer revisiting lifetime users 2 years free if they move to the new “better” service.

I’m not saying I agree with any of this, but it’s certainly not a new strategy. They’ve nothing to lose. Those who are pissed off will leave, you already have their money and those who want to stay will pay up.

The VPN company can have their cake and eat it

It was Plex that did the IP range ban because people were selling access to their boxes.

There are two types connection in this scenario

1. Direct - no additional cost to Plex, using the port forwarding instructions you mentioned. No limit on bandwidth - the best (and most common) option
2. Relay - for whatever reason your client cannot reach the server (CGNAT / port forwarding not possible / firewall on client side etc), Plex will act like a man in the middle & limit the connection to 2mbit. (Yup, megaBIT).

I switched away from Plex last year because they wouldn’t let me connect with my box in Hetzner. I’m now using Emby, ironically I’m also paying for Emby’s monthly subscription. Not because I believe I need to, but because I want the developer to continue to work on it.

Have you seen the waiting lists? Much easier to throw a brick through the local mosque’s window

I just don’t connect the snoopy bastard to my network 😂

I work for an MSP. I can assure you, those who believe they need excel to do their job are willing to die on that hill, and take the whole department with them

I think the point is why bust your balls in the sun for 12 hours a day when you can make the same money doing basic clerical work in an air conditioned office

Honestly this is so simple and effective at stopping these sort of scams dead in their tracks. When you call in to help desk and say “I was just on the phone with your agents about a payment problem” and they don’t see any record, it’ll set off all sorts of alarm bells. Especially if it’s the bank.

Except for that time I took out the battery because it was swollen and took the screen off to help with cooling. At least I still have my K and M

Copy paste is easy. You just tap on the, no wait you tap on the, fuck hold on. You tap, there we are, on the word and hold until it highlights. No wait hold on. Fuck. There we are. Ok now you tap on the highlighted word to copy, fuck wait Ah fuck it just type it again yourself

But he does like fish sticks!

I still come across DCs where time drift happens because of poorly configured VMs
