Yeah, this is a decades old ongoing issue with companies. They see pretty much anything IT related as a money sink that needs to be trimmed to the bare bones while giving salespeople absurd bonuses. Then they get all surprised pikachu faced when they get hacked or hit with ransomware and their last backup was 6 months ago when they let the IT department go without warning and hired some guys from overseas to handle it remotely.

All month? This is the 342nd day of Halloween. All days lead to Halloween.

The average Republican voters doesn’t care what the facts are.

Honestly, if he hadn’t smack talked them the day after they got that 45 day budget passed, they probably would back him. Hell, if we didn’t need to get the big budget passed in 45 days, they’d probably do it just to fuck with the Republicans. Or they could fuck with McCarthy by voting for him and making the GOP think he’s cut a secret deal with the Dems.

Waiting for the inevitable man to come in and go “But how are we supposed to unify if we keep dividing ourselves?” or “You’d have a fit if men complained about women attending a male only event.”

There’s a convergence of issues. First, and probably foremost, users are idiots. So it has to be able to be operated by a 5 year with a learning disability. Second, implementing security costs money up front. It is cheaper to let the customer deal with the fall out, then do damage control on the cheap, and keep going. Third, users can’t be assed to access things that a 5 year old with learning and physical disabilities and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in one hand can’t access. These are all typical issues stuff is engineered towards. This is why you see this same basic issue crop up over and over again.

I’m sure they investigated themselves and found no trace of wrong doing.

Like Qatar gives a good god damn about human rights.

That isn’t weird. This should be default behavior for everyone. If it was fewer people would get caught by scams. I also look at the sender’s email. All the ones I’ve ever received have come from domains not affiliated with the company they purport to represent. I’ve taught all my non-security savvy friends to do this, too.

It is Patton by proxy - “The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard to die for his.” Except instead of “the other bastard” being an enemy, it’s your allies.

They’re propping up an ineffective leader. As long as he’s in charge, the Republicans can’t seem to agree on much or get much done. He’s the perfect stooge.

Won’t have to if the Dems take the House back next year.

Consider, if you will, a modest to large group chat. Say a few people start chatting. dindingdingdingding People float into and out of the chat keeping it going for hours and notification after notification after notification comes in. Maybe they’re in a group chat for several classes and/or interests and/or family. I can easily see it. I have to mute the group family chat I’m in when they really start to get going, especially my wife and sister-in-law.

I’d assume the surgeons wanted to spare her from having to undergo sedation and surgery again at a later point in time, just to get her consent.

That is still performing the procedure without her consent. Are you really that dense? Or are you one of those types who believes that “no” doesn’t always mean “no” or that if someone doesn’t say “no” that means they automatically consent?

Precisely. It’s a mashup of what it has been trained on. Train it on celebrities in bikinis and pornstars getting railed in bikinis, smash the two together and et voila, suddenly every actress has a porn tape of getting railed in a bikini.

I do.

We have had watertight user serviceable with external batteries handheld amateur radios for decades. Your arguments are baloney. Phones are only this way because manufacturers want them to be this way.

Wow. Queen of Wands, I don’t think I’ve looked at that for over a decade…

Saw a pic of him in a car with his arm out the window, pointing it at the camera, with his finger on the god damn trigger. If that thing was loaded he was a speed bump away from re-enacting the “Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face” scene. What a fucking tool.
