I do this with tooth paste.

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

He’ll also feed your parents to you if you piss him off

Purple urine bag syndrome?

Edit: well damn, totally a thing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_urine_bag_syndrome

I wonder if the spike is radio, then the dip is landline telephones followed by a spike of mobile phones?

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

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

Sauce?

Thanks to the poster who wrote OOGA CHAKA

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.

I had a thinkpad for YEARS running various flavours of Debian / Ubuntu. It never had an issue with drivers and even the fingerprint sensor worked out of the box.

The battery was shot to hell, the hinge was gone, it was time to upgrade. So I bought an ideapad. There’s something funky with the audio quality on Linux and the fingerprint scanner is now a face scanner camera. Howdy is not easy to configure and I’m pretty sure I can trick it with a photo.

That’s a long way of me saying I have buyers remorse and not all Lenovos are made equal :(

If I travelled somewhere for work, and a storm rolled in. I wouldn’t expect to leave work early. I’d expect work to put me up in a hotel while the storm passed.

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

Cats jumping on tinfoil are proof we’re in the simulation and the AI can still get physics wrong from time to time

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

Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll make a full backup before they do something as drastic as try to re-write the system. /s

So THATS what an octopussy is!
