The sun could’ve gone nova 8 minutes ago and we wouldn’t know for another 20 seconds or so.

Devices that are no longer supported and kept up to date with security updates contain known, but unpatched, vulnerabilities. Some of them are software based, but some are a function of the hardware itself. Connect these to a network, manage to do something that gets them compromised, and you’ve given bad actors a foothold on your network.

Because most networks, especially home networks, tend to be configured in a way that trusts local network traffic more than external traffic, such a foothold can further compromise your systems. Very few people have the resources, or technical know-how to properly segregate potentially dangerous or vulnerable devices on a network.

That’s what.

I would note that, because it’s so old and out of support for everything, anything you got running on it would be full of security vulnerabilities.

Like, do not connect this to a network you care about kind of vulnerable.

I’d frankly just find a way to recycle it safely and learn to do that earlier with devices you’re not using, so others can use them instead of just sitting in a closet. (It’s not like I’m not guilty of the same thing.)

Usenet has long been a place to find binary file content.

Not ban. No.

However, I would tax it at exactly the same rate as the corn and farm subsidies lower its cost, to make its actual price reflect reality.

Remind everyone that there is no one true religion because there never was one before, there isn’t one now and there never will be be one.

“Yes, all the religions before were false, but ours is the right one!”

I do this, and employ frequent and rapid blocking on social media.

Instead of engaging, dick wads get blocked without comment.

'Twas a thing of inspiration undertaken in asking twice Google for random words and combining at syllable boundary.

The things you described are, under any interpretation, PII, and the rest reason they are being posted falls within the scope of the law.

Even for convicted rapist Brock Turner.

USBC is a hot god damned mess.

The C describes only the shape of the connector.

The numbered specification (“2.0”, “3.0”) describes the speed.

But USBC can also do non-USB protocols like HDMI and Thunderbolt and DisplayPort.

Dare you not forget, “You sound like a robot!”

Visa does not care about interest. The issues bank does.

Visa makes its money on transaction fees. Every time you use your card, the merchant is charged an additional fee, usually a percentage of the amount this of the sale.

In these agreements, T-Mobile is buying transaction info from visa. The level of detail varies, as you say, but it’s just more ways for companies to track consumer habits and later sell you something.

Nothing. They just talk about Biden destroying the economy with Hunter’s laptop and Hillary’s buttery males.

Those all sound like problems for later!

Whenever you’re tempted, remember this is the same show where Dr. Crusher nearly fucked a candle ghost.

Yup.

Not only would I use it, I would abuse it.

I’d duplicate myself more than once, and at least once so I could fuck myself.

I’d tweak the transporter to adjust my body as I went through it. Best weight-loss, gym routine, plastic surgery, dick-enhancement pill ever, all in one.

I would be the reason such devices would be strictly regulated by people with ethics. “Is it murder if you kill your clone?” “Who cares, energize and last one stabbed wins!”

To quote MST3k, “It’s just a show, you should really just relax.”

Non-seriously, though, in Trek lore, energy and mass are still interchangeable via e=mc^2 – the weird conditions on the planet caused the matter stream to be mirrored and the extra energy came from the ship adding More Power to the transport process.

It probably means that the real, original Riker, made up of atoms that were built from energy from the original Riker is the one that ended up on the planet.

I’m not going to brag, but my junk hangs low. I’m also in the US. Some toilets are ridiculously full by default, especially older models.

Fuck that, I love sitting down to piss. It’s like a free break AND I get to let the boys out for a few minutes?

The only times I won’t are when the bathroom is already filthy, or the toilet water is too high and my junk goes for a dunk if I sit.

There is no technical reason for there to be a maximum length on the user’s password.

Watch:

Here’s a password bitwarden generated for me:

Bonded-Reforest-Prenatal7-Spoken-Straggler-Catcall

Here’s the base64-encoded SHA3-512 hash for that password:

Q2WaVLdTAg5T4xi3VB5PMI7GkAv3np9Usa2+uTMglbMcDDAdYXzUNgAzzYLoSWku/e007vkKfvSotzoriSKt4Q==

Here’s the has for the password password:

6adUhnNqVQr0/qhh4jeDBcSlVaBQlN7h3KL2iv6knMOlDo3m6hMepSExH01vsFShRugoL441/y5jaMGmLpCXFg==

Notice how the thing the website should be storing in their database is exactly the same length, regardless of the input?

For extra fun, here’s the hash for your sample password:
