The outcome would be a while lot of people trying to gaslight me.

Yeah, you can say it and deal with the outcome. I chose to keep my mouth shut since my entire family is cool aid drinkers.

It seems like Nvidia and Linus are getting along these days since datacenter Ai workloads need Linux. Amd is still king for Linux gaming though

I asked my sister-in-law who worked for the VA (retired a few months ago) about the end of the road emails, literally I asked “Hey I heard that a bunch of crazy emails went out to all federal employees, did that happen to you at the VA too?” and she went off on how everything has been nuts since trump took over and how people are being removed from W2 and made all gig workers with 1099 so they don’t have to pay out insurance or benefits or earn time towards a government pension / retirement, and how lucky she is she gets to retire before that fully takes affect and how its “all Elon’s fault”. Saying it was all Elon, and Trump had nothing to do with it, is some serious mental gymnastics… This was August of last year.

It’s delicious though

I have blink outdoor cameras, not the best out there, but very usable video, indoor work the same, you can put a USB flash drive in the sync module and use it on the local network, i use my 2.4 band for that and my home automation. Recorded clips stay on my flash drive locally, and I just say no to the subscription if it asks. All cameras connect to the same sync module. Have no complaints.

Yes, actually, I betrayed the client by preparing lots of paperwork and examples of the system working so when they went to court they would actually have to defend their position.

It didn’t help me not get laid off though because losing 4 months of payroll in a chargeback is pretty brutal for a company’s books.

And that company never came back from it. A subdivision of the company, survived, but the company lost its building, and most of its employees during the bankruptcy and restructuring. And it happened right before Christmas, so the entire company got laid off for the holidays, it was a lot of fun /s. Fuck predatory self-help companies…

Yes, Nedry owned his IT company, but Hammond was withholding Nedry’s final paycheck until debugging was done. Which had already gone over budget due to feature creep, so Nedry was doing it himself because he didn’t have money to pay his people because Hammond wouldn’t give him the money they agreed on. Hence why Nedry was looking to make some side money, he’s literally doing all that debugging and final system fixes for free on the promise that he won’t be screwed again by Hammond. IIRC anyway, its been like 30 years since I read the book… And a lot of my perspective changed as I got older and I got more experience in the industry. As a kid, I thought you took the job you should do the job, but as an adult I understand a lot better the dynamics of the situation and while I still think if you took the job you should do the job, I completely understand the feeling of getting Fucked by someone who would rather throw money at lawyers than just pay what they agreed on.

I have been in his position, and while I didn’t betray the client and get killed, I really understand his mindset and “Fuck-it” attitude. Hammond is wealthy and using his position and power to spare as much expense as possible and step on as many contractors as possible. Kind of like an Orange Cheeto I know of. I had a company I work for that had to file bankruptcy because a half-billion dollar a year company hired us then charged back their initial payment and refused to issue final payment unless we did a ton of extra work, and when we did that, they just said “thanks” and vanished. Apparently American Express lets you contest a payment 6-12 months after it was issued and their stance is if you want your money you should sue.

I used to flatten coins that way all the time as a kid. Did it on dates, worked really well. First time I heard that was on a date and I laughed a bit too hard I guess, didn’t work that time.

I used to work for the company upstairs in the same building as the inspiration for this diorama. There was a video where he went out and let a lady in after hours and I was like holy fuck I know those stairs… and that door… for about 6 months I walked past that door and never saw the guy, the blinds always closed. But eventually I found out they discovered a tenant filming porn in the building and they kicked him out. And I was like I fucking new it!

Taco Bell did win the restaurant wars…

Don’t forget staff payroll has to come or if that too

Yeah, no doubt different facilities run things differently. Depends on where you are, who governs it and it’s security level. Low security gets more privileges than medium, high, or maximum security. Though for us medium security and lower could have small games, dice, dominoes, etc during rec hours.

If you’re rolling D20s, but there are also D4s, D6s, D8s, D10s, D12s, and a D10 Percentage die for 5e, and some spells require multiple of the same dice, so rolling 6d6 is a very real scenario, so you can have plenty of dice to use to find variations to get to 7 with different sided dice.

Don’t worry, there are dice in (at least some) prisons, every cell block had at least one D&D group going with 4-6 people, and they used dice.

This goes back even further, Randall is referencing the ps3 security, that has a constant instead of a random number. That allowed failOverflow to remove one variable and reverse the private key to sign ps3 apps.

It’ll be caught by a dictionary attack. at least do something to break up their sequential order.

The problem is a password hash is a fixed length regardless of the password, so if this is implemented correctly there is no need for a maximum password length. These things raise my security flag because it makes me think they are storing the password in plain text instead of doing proper practice and storing the hash only.

the Navi 24-powered graphics card might be a good solution for some budget gamers.

4gb of vram is not for any gamer let alone a budget one. Hell even 8gb is barely functional for basic 1080p gaming these days…

Make enough C macro definitions and you can certainly do that, I did my final project in my high school programming class in the 90’s like that, made macros to simulate QBasic syntax and then just wrote it in basic, the end result is the macros converted everything into valid C++ and it compiled fine. Fortunately my teacher for that class was cool, and he was amused by it and since it compiled with no warnings and did what it was supposed to do, I got full marks for it.
