We do what we can because we must.

@hszakher very true

@hszakher I assume it will in fact arrive today.

Remember, kids, don't roll your own cryptography or datetime code.

@bagder @sirocyl There's this file, you see, and Mozilla maintains it, and you download it on occasion, otherwise you might be visited by the cookie monster.

@bagder "registerable domain name"

I hope you like PSL...

@cx7 I'm a principal engineer for a major tech company. They pay me mid six figures. My laptop crashes and/or needs rebooting on the regular. The higher end laptops are Macs which I viscerally dislike.

@rm They didn't change the law. Most likely what they're doing is illegal. I don't know why the bureaucrats are complying, they'll probably be fired either way.

@erin what a bag of dicks

Apparently they have a model that'll just brick itself if you try to use the console?

Looks like it's an ipq60xx device, but maybe they have some models without secure boot and a hack similar to this will work:

WARNING! THIS CONSOLE IS LOGGED! UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS FORBIDDEN!

Lol

@cx7 my laptop for work has 8gb 😭

@Athena @puppygirlhornypost2 so, at this point, until something changes, I cannot fix my name without also changing my gender

@Athena @puppygirlhornypost2 I changed my middle name, FWIW. There is only one X passport issued by the US that will need renewing before 2029. The rest are good until at least 2032.

@Athena @puppygirlhornypost2 That is exactly what happened. They're reprinting it with some other gender marker but I won't accept it and it'll end up getting destroyed. They might want to see proof of my sex assigned at birth, but I have none.

@munin @mcc speak more slowly

@petergleick yeah, can't buy coffee for my fed friend

@ireneista Fiber Store (fs.com) takes the cake for high-touch though, they assigned me an account rep who messaged me on WhatsApp after I ordered a couple SFP+ modules and some fiber patch cables, and had clearly looked me up on LinkedIn.

@ireneista I have no idea, pretty sure I said I was a hobbyist when I registered. Also, for the current order, they already shipped it Thursday. It's in the UK currently.

@ireneista

For a $20 order of some pin headers and a battery (voicemail transcript):

Hi, Ryan. This is DigiKey Corporation calling in regards to an order you placed. Looks like back on the 15th of November here with DigiKey. And, it looks like we're wondering if you have moved. An, e-mail was sent to you with no response so giving a call here. Just need to verify if you have moved so we can update your customer files here. You have a (chipping?) to [OFFICE ADDRESS]. However, your customer file states that you're located at [HOME ADDRESS, LESS THAN TWO MILES FROM OFFICE ADDRESS]. So, give us a callback ASAP. The number here is 1-800-344-4539. Anyone in the sales department can help you out. Just reference your sale order number of [REDACTED].

@ireneista Seems a bit ridiculous for a $40 order of some 64MiB SOIC-16 flash chips and sockets for the same.

That said, looking through my old emails, apparently they called me to verify I'd moved when my address changed in 2011.
