I use VirtualBox on Windows 10 at home, simply because it is easy and free.

Idiotic, you take the batteries out before you burn them.

Ducky keyboards are fantastic!

I currently have two, but have had a few others.

I started with a Ducky Shine 2 with white keycaps, orange LEDs and red switches, then killed it when I dropped a 2 L bottle of fanta on it, bought a Shine 4 with brown switches to replace it, then got a Ducky One 2 Skyline with blue switches and later a Ducky One 2 Tuxedo with blue switches.

Currently using the Skyline base with the absolutely fantastic keycap set Trailblazer from Alohakb:

I would like to have a white Duky One 3 base and put the keycaps on that, but so far I have not seen a white base from Ducky…

IT guy here, if there is one thing I wish for, there are many days where I wish I was just a cleaner, to actually be able to complete a task that is visible for a change and not just stare me blind at a half functioning JIRA board, a broken active directory and list of 365 teams almost as long as the list of employees.

Not to mention having to deal with systems I have no idea about and should have zero access to but somehow have global admin and am incharge of access controls which are half documented, yet the system is the most important in the company.

We are working on improving it, it goes slowly…

If it paid the same, I think being a street view driver seems interesting/fun…

Thank you for clarifying the issue better than I did!

See, she is also into me!

There are several governments in Europe and abroad that have ordered DNS lookups for specific domains to be blocked.

They probably mean that we can’t trust the government to keep information free and need a way to restrict governments from blocking DNS lookups.

Unfortunately, you can’t really do DNS in a decentralized manner as the concept is based on a hirarchy.

Example:

If you want to go to www.coolsite.org your computer would make the following requests:

• Hey root server, who handles requests for .org?
• Hey .org DNS server, who handles requests for .coolsite.org?
• Hey .coolsite.org DNS server, who is www.coolsite.org?

I don’t really know how to decentralize this…

I have no explicit source for this scenario, but I am a 365 admin and extrapolated from my knowledge of Intune.

The way I see it, there is nothing actually preventing Microsoft from blocking computers from using personal 365.

Just look at the autopilot service in intune, you add a machine to it using either a machine ID or a serial number, then it is locked to that tenant and can’t be used outside of that with windows.

There is no checking of actual ownership of the device, and once a device is added to autopilot, it will prompt for a tenant logon even after a complete reinstall.

This means that MS will check any computer that checks in with their servers for their ID and s/n, and against a blocklist.

Now with 365, they can ban you from your own computer by simply flipping a variable from 0 to 1.

And it wouldn’t matter if you tried to reinstall the machine, as long as the HW identifiers on the machine are the same the ban will stop the machine from be used after being connected to the internet.

Nope, dogs/wolves have evolved for speed, not endurance.

Humans have evolved for endurance, we hunted by stalking a prey until it was too exhausted to keep going or to fight back.

Ah, a Parahawk, as seen in the Bond film The World Is Not Enough.

Eh, it means that I won’t steal your pen, calm down

Number 6, I like how the ink flows

Good points!

I just realized that I have a huge number of NSFW pics on my phone, though they are in a separate paid app that hides them away…

Anyway, over the years I have gathered thousands of pics.

I am a bit confused as to why we don’t have landmines that has a chemical self disarming mechanism, I mean a compound explosive charge that would was armed by combining two liquids that reacted to form the explosive, but then slowly kept reacting to go inert after 10 years or so.

• Seldom used pants, shirts and other clothes.

• Underwear/Socks

Sorry I should have been clear when I edited my post, the previous commenter was correct, I messed up the math.

Yep, good catch!

Something that is very easy to forget is that stock value is only very loosely tied to actual company value.

Stock value is based on what people are prepared to pay for the stock, not what the company is worth.

Say that I create a company that makes newspaper hats for tanks in Ukraine, something utterly worthless, I am the only employee and my inventory is just yesterday’s newspapers that I found in the gutter.

My company has zero actual value, but I decide to create 50000 shares of my company, sell one to my friend for €2, and suddenly my company’s market value would look like €100000.
