Well, a few of mine have gone missing, and they look awfully similar to the one's Lithuania's got ๐Ÿค”

I always imagined that it was due to a higher level of computer literacy amongst the consumer population. An hour after a corpo releases a new piece of tech under a subscription model, the software has been cracked and pirated all over the net.

Exactly this. we try to prevent cyberattacks as much as we can, but at a certain point, they're impossible to perfectly defend against without also totally locking down our users and making it impossible for them to do their jobs. so then the game becomes one of containing the amount of damage an attack can do.

Security is restriction. our job is to balance our users' ability to perform their jobs with acceptable levels of risk.

As an IT guy, I'd love to give software devs full admin rights to their computer to troubleshoot and install anything as they see fit, it would save me a lot of time out of my day. But I can't trust everyone in the organization not to click suspicious links or open obvious phishing emails that invite ransomware into the organization that can sink a company overnight.

Ok, how about from the New Testament: "Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.โ€ - Mark 12:31

Chuck Schumer introduced the 'no kings act' which, if passed into law, would:

  1. Reaffirm that president's and vice president's do not have immunity for actions that violate U.S. criminal law
  2. Remove the supreme court's appellate jurisdiction for all actions challenging the constitutionality of this legislation (referring to the no kings act I believe)
  3. Establish additional jurisdiction and procedural guardrails. Allowing the United States to bring criminal action against a President or Vice President in any applicable district Court.

I think this is a good stop gap and I will be emailing my senators and representative to support this bill

I talked to some friends after the debate who claim to be independent and they said they still thought they both were terrible. I don't understand how anyone could equate Harris with Trump, especially after Jan 6

Why do users hit me up on teams to ask me to help them with something, and when I ask if they are available for me to stop by, they ignore me? Then I go on about my day, and my manager comes to me later saying they complained that I never showed up to help them. Am I missing some unspoken rule of modern american office culture?
