Why are there loads of unnamed bluetooth devices around me?

Jump

  • Community to make fun of conspiracy theorists. Used to be wacky, "I think the birds outside my window are working for the government, anyone know a crystal that can help me" sort of thing, became a little sad with COVID.

  • On the ole 600euro communities you regularly see people posting these screenshots as "proof" of tracking devices in vaccinations.

  • Chill mate I'm not even from the US. There still is no practical use for this.

  • Concorde wasn't profitable in the long run. Nowadays with video conferencing, even less people need to show up to a transatlantic business meeting.

    Unlikely this makes financial sense.

    • Not that you guys need the reminder, but your work sees all your browser history and you may not even be able to delete it if you wanted to

  • Same for our company, and all companies whose security folks I've had a chat with. We don't give a fuck what you do on your computer. Almost all security folks are into privacy themselves, additionally to simply not having the time to look at people's browser history or traffic or whatever.

    Yes, we have the option to collect data. No, we don't look at it unless there is a very good reason to do so. And we protect that data, HR or whoever can't just have it if they feel like taking a look. There is a process to protect the data, because that means protecting the company.

    Your security team is not the enemy.

  • Also, different tags for nudity and whatnot, and gore. I'm okay with boobs, I'm not okay with watching folks getting killed.

  • Some 3rd party apps have that feature I believe, but Lemmy itself doesn't. I too am annoyed by all the lemmynsfw spam. My community block list is loooong and keeps growing.

    • Some far-right activists and conspiracy theories are advocating against card-payments and for cash, and it's pissing me off

    Jump

  • Oh so it's not just my country where for some reason the right suddenly is super fussed about cash. I just assumed they made some supid press conferences again to distract from some scandal, as they do.

    Having the option to pay cash is super important for privacy, but those people do not have our best interest in mind.

    • PSA: Be careful with online SMS services

  • That's a really creative scam, I respect that.

    • What would get you "back to the office"?

    Jump

  • Already am back in the office 3 days a week. One is mandatory.

    • I don't want to "Press any key to continue" to the main menu

    Jump

  • Games used to take a looong time to load before flash storage, so people would go get a coffee or something while loading. Before main menus, it would just drop you into the game while you were away, potentiality missing something. So they added the "press any key" pause to wait until you're back.

    For some reason they kept this until today.

    • So tired of Adobe. They're part of the problem.

    Jump

  • People don't read warnings. They will still swamp your support department with tickets despite being told their setup is unsupported.

    • At what level do ISPs control ports?

    Jump

  • We do that upstream, no way for you to avoid it. For good reason too, our team handling abuse notifications mails was super swamped with people whose ancient XP PCs had malware sending spam.

    Forget running your mail server on a residential IP anyway. You'll be instant blocked by any mail provider, residential IPs are always spam, because of the aforementioned XP PCs.

    Personally I wouldn't self host mail anymore anyway. Too much trouble.

  • Unless you browse Geocities sites from 1998, intercepting and MITMing is simply not an issue. Everything built nowadays uses https, which fully protects you against those.

  • Well you have a few options

    • street rule

    Jump

  • I know that "European address" is supposed to be a joke too, but it bothers me intensely that there are two different street names and no city mentioned.

    • What's the stupidest rule your school ever enforced?

    Jump

  • I'm not talking about the gun rack, I'm talking about the gun. A gun is no mundane tool.

    • What's the stupidest rule your school ever enforced?

    Jump

  • No I won't leave my gun "accidentally" anywhere. Handling a gun means "accidentally" is not part of your vocabulary.

    I'm a gun owner myself, so I'm not the pearl clutching type but this is genuinely unthinkable to me. Absurd and a little scary, to be honest.

    • What's the stupidest rule your school ever enforced?

    Jump

  • But with fire arm thefts etc it was pretty rare to actually have a gun loaded or unloaded in the gun-rack.

    So what you're saying is, people did - rarely - leave guns unattended in a car? Students no less?And that is legal? Murica gets more absurd every time I read about it.

    Under no circumstances in the wrold would I leave my unsecured guns in a car.
