There’s been a decent amount of discussion online that when you are already in a relationship, you’ve been “vetted” so to speak. Obviously bullshit, as what your current partner may find acceptable can have jack to do with what anyone else finds acceptable. Also, if you have a break up, somehow you’re no longer vetted because clearly you have some problems if you had a break up.

It’s all pretty/petty bullshit but it’s definitely a thing. Even my clueless ass has noticed it. Women are more comfortable around me now that I’m obviously taken (wedding ring). Not that they weren’t before, but diving into deep/private conversation stuff at a far faster rate. Like I pride myself on being trustworthy and a good listener, but you gotta chill.

That increased comfort also includes more comfortable to make passes at me. No thanks, wife and I aren’t looking for a third.

No, but the parrot isn’t hallucinating either.

Yes, the price is the point. Excel (Office) is that dirt fucking cheap, industry standard, and comes with a bunch of other shit included that can be legitimate value add for a small business.

If you’re at a firm that has legitimate need for specialized accounting software, you’ll have enough money to get those. But even those generally export to Excel format. Without outing myself too much, I’ve had comsiderable exposure to financial tech over the last decade and less than 10 specialized accounting softwares I’ve seen couldn’t export to Excel. All of those still exported to csv, or “software agnostic excel” if we want to bend things a bit.

The power of being industry standard for going on 30 years now cannot be overstated.

I think it’s less likely this has anything to do with skill, and more likely this is a company looking for an excuse to cut a highly paid position.

Do you somehow think that if you just fake the technical requirement for this .lpf file it will be smooth sailing?

What happens when this gets caught by an actual human being?

Son of a bitch!

I think you need to reciprocate a little. I always give him a lil kiss.When he visits me I always find steam cards and discounts under my pillow after he leaves.

And most people with a purpose for those exploits, like speedrunners, will find a way to get a hacked console where these limitations on downgrading don’t exist.

Man, reddit users sure don’t change, do they? DAE have this incredibly popular opinion? Has anyone thought of this very obvious idea?

Teasing aside, you should be able to find multiple options on how to do so with a simple google search, or a search of old posts in this very community. Terms like comment scrubber or account wiper.

This was incredibly common during the first big “exodus” of reddit users when they started cutting off third party api access, killing nearly every third party app and almost all moderation tools.

I’m honestly shocked you haven’t seen any of those “replaced” comments yet. They’re pretty common in any reddit thread more than a few months old that shows up in google search results.

It will most likely get you banned before you replace all of your comments, and if you somehow have a popular enough account where the reddit employee admins care, they can revert your changes after banning you. They did this with a large number of accounts during “the exodus”, where people went back a week later to find their comments restored and they couldn’t log back in to do antthing about it. Some users attempted to get their comments removed after that via GDPR requests, but I’m not sure if anyone reported back on if that worked or not.

Shouldn’t be much of a surprise. His family has always been eugenecists with a “benevolent” mask. Not knocking what his foundation has done against malaria, but I believe he’s said some very direct things about wanting lower birthrates in the global south.

Lemmy doesn’t show overall karma anywhere by default, and as far as I know, no communities are using automated moderation to prevent “low karma” accounts from posting.

Not saying it isn’t, just that there’d be no point.

being born into a little seed cash and enough comfort to go a while without working a straight job. As Julie says when someone repeats that Amazon was started in a garage: Ain’t no garages in the trailer park.

We need look no further than the “hackathon,” that sad facsimile of the days when we were all learning the basics so fast that the world could be ours with just a day or two of focused effort. Hype up an exciting atmosphere, assemble some folks with so few attachments in life that they have time to spend all weekend at a hackathon, and this ritual will summon up the old gods. The hackathon is the proof that people believe this can work, and it is the proof that it doesn’t.

Yep. If the network is local only and can’t reach Azure (for Entra) or the Domain Controller (for AD) that we’re saying is at another physical location, then there’s no way for the machine to see the new password. It will continue to accept the old cached password until that network issue is resolved.

But that’s always been the case. It’s how Windows NT and forward work. In that scenario, you could only reach the machine over RDP if you were on another machine on that isolated network.

I’m not exactly calling bullshit, but I’ve worked almost the entire last decade in IT in a Windows environment that has a decent amount of RDP use and has grown from ~2000-4000 employees during that time.

We’ve never encountered this as described. Whatever this situation that allows the cached password to persist indefinitely is, it is a situation that would need to be engineered by the attacker.

From what I can tell, this “exploit” is just the standard NT password caching functionality that Windows has had for literal decades. Windows caches the last valid password used to log in, so if you lose your connection to your identity provider (AD or Entra) you can still log in with the last password confirmed to be valid.

In AD environments, this is what allows you to log into your laptop at home before you connect to VPN. You can’t hit your work AD before you’re on the work network. It also causes some fun because if you changed your password at work but didn’t lock and unlock your computer with the new one, it might still have your old one cached for the login screen but need the new one for VPN. This was a fairly common support call (I’m out of direct user support now so I can’t easily see if it still is).

Any situation where an old password would be valid indefinitely and a new one not recognized would require the machine to not be able to reach AD or Entra, but also to still be reachable by RDP… indefinitely. That’s definitely not impossible, but it’s one hell of an edge case to use the term “indefinitely” for.

It’s annoying that there aren’t separate settings from “local logins with AD as the IDP” and “remote logins with RDP” or “logins with Entra”, but this feature is pretty damn critical for remote workers to be able to function and it is an intentional design choice as Microsoft states. Any potential workaround for a theoretical lack of this functionality is worse than the current state. Can’t rotate passwords on a local break glass account if the machine can’t reach your IDP, leaving effectively the same hole except with an account known to have elevated access.

There’s no nefariousness here or lack of due dilligence. Labeling it as some horribly dangerous security hole with the amount of vagueness this article has is just misleading and clickbaity.

On paper, it’s one of the uses for AI image recognition. It could reduce the amount that needs human review drastically.

In reality, Youtube’s partially automated system (to my knowledge the most robust one around) regularly flags highly stylized videogame violence as if it is real gore. It also has some very dumb workarounds like simply putting the violence more than 30 seconds into the video (which has concerning implications for its ability at filtering real gore).

Edit: missed the context. This was about Torvalds, not Tech Tips

Theres a lot more problems than that. Both GamersNexus and Louis Rossman have made videos on it.

Shady sponsor deals. Making huge mistakes when testing things from new small companies (one guy machining custom watercooler blocks), calling the device garbage because their own mistakes caused it not to work, refusing to return the prototype one they tested as they had agreed to, and then auctioning it off. Claiming all of that was just honest mistakes while making no efforts to make it right and doubling down on calling it shit. Many many cases of Linus just being an abusive bastard of a boss behind the scenes. Many cases of anonymous current and former employees talking about toxic workplace culture (coming from the top down), insane crunch, deadlines set too tight that cause issues in reviews.

Regular smaller mistakes in their reviews and videos with no standard company policy on how they should go back and edit them to inform viewers of the mistake. Numerous cases where they acknowledge the mistake privafely but refuse to even add a pinned comment to the video.

His team knew about the Honey extension, one of their sponsors, being a scam. It hijacked any links to online stores nd made them referal links to kick back money to Honey. While countless other youtubers made exposes about it he refused to say anything about it to his viewers and then had a tantrum on the podcast about how it was unfair to expect him and his team to say anything about it after he was called out.

Every. Single. Time. When Linus is called out on this stuff in a large enough way, he throws a very public tantrum.

At best, Linus is an overgrown child who is unfit to run a business of the size and clout his has.

Lets not pretend that lowering the barrier to making fake nudes hasn’t changed the situation either.

Nope. As far as extrusion printing goes: normal 3D printing filament is not food safe and the tiny stairstep layers would be perfect breeding grounds for bacteria and plaque impossible to properly clean. For resin printing: that shit’s toxic in liquid form, very bad idea to ingest as a solid, and dust from the hardened prints (like if you sand a nub down) when breathed in works like asbestos on your lungs.

I believe either. In Jerboa (what I’ve got handy at the moment) it’s under Settings, [your account name]'s settings, and then its in the middle of the whole bunch of switches towards the bottom.

There’s an option to hide bot posts in your settings. So far everyone is playing nice and labeling their bots as such, so that’s probably the easiest way at the moment.
