it's fun to turn on wireshark and find out your windows machine is broadcasting HTTP requests to a multicast address using Microsoft Edge in the user-agent
My robot girlfriend walks in with the crop, I'm already tied to the bed. "what's the safeword?", she asks. I respond by saying the letter "A" for 90 seconds straight followed by a short hex string.
calc.exe opens up on her eyes. Finally, a PoC!
Shouldn't have used fixed length buffers without bounds checking, babe. This is a rookie C mistake.
@foone@jason quick napkin math, assuming you take 8 hours to bring it down from 5s to 1s and use the dryer 2 times a week, you only need about 70 years to reach the break-even points.
It seems every company I've worked at has a person who looms large in their legend.
Like, they're often the person who built the core systems, everything was originally their design, but they left recently and in their absence they've had to hire like 5 more people to try and take over all their responsibilities.
I think next time I'm gonna track down that person, find out where they moved to, and go work there instead
Pretending here the answer isn't "you had a 3x engineer and made then work like they were a 20x engineer and this burnt them out in like two years and now they're doing woodworking in a log cabin on the top of a mountain in Montana and if you mention computers to them, they'll shoot you in the face"
There's a special hell for sites which have password requirements that are like 16 letters, one or more numbers, upper case and lowercase, at least one special character, and we disabled pasting/password managers
@foone a few years back NIST published a password guide that is admissible in court. If you can't use a password program to both generate and paste the password it is insecure. Just set an obvious password and the judge will be forced to rule it is their fault if your account is hacked.
ahh, the true mechanical keyboard experience:
you type something in a meeting while muted and google meet is like "hey, are you talking? you're muted!"
@foone (I think it's largely to get bankers who might be up to no good to have to go several market cycles without access, but can apply at all levels and departments, and is useful in making sure you don't check your work email constantly XD)
@foone US fed regulations require that type of policy for some bankers. The policy also mandates two continuous weeks off. Anyone can take a day off and still cover their tracks, but 2 weeks every years means you are likely to be caught if you are commuting fraud.
