- Comment on The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal 15 hours ago:
This had nothing to do with encryption. 99.99% of breaches aren’t some pen hack, it’s social engineering of someone to gain access. You have all the best software and practices in place, but if the dumbass on the fourth floor decides that they’re gonna let someone in who’s called them from Microsoft, then it doesn’t matter.
They let the FBI into the chat because they don’t know opsec for shit.

Yep, southern ice is like trying to ice skate with one leg while blindfolded and deaf. You got 0 control.
- Comment on He's on a mission 1 week ago:
The issue with “snow” in the south isn’t the snow part. It’s the ice. Southern snows usually happen when it’s warm enough to melt the first bit of snow then it drops to freezing temps and the roads turn to sheets of ice. That and the majority in the south don’t have winter tires, they run all seasons because when it does snow, it lasts just a few days at most. Why risk lives when it’s just a few days.

In my state, it doesn’t matter if he’s 25 or 55. If he drives my car regularly he has to be on my policy for my car. That’s the law. He has his own policy, for his own car. I don’t ever drive his car, so I’m not on his policy. But since his car is a Mini, he borrows mine a lot too. And I don’t like committing insurance fraud, so I follow the law.
The car is insured, not the driver. Your comment made it sound like you still had him on your policy for his car.
Dunno where you are, but in the US, 16 year olds drive.
In the USA, and while this is correct that they can drive, they shouldn’t be. Just as when someone hits 65 they should be required to take yearly driver courses. A vehicle is not a right it’s a privilege. We should have mass transit and the same level of driving requirements the EU has to get a license. Way to make people absolutely fucking suck at driving, and unfortunately the elderly and teens make up the majority of crashes.
And every kid and every family is different. You parent your child, and I’ll parent mine. You’re not entitled to even form a fucking opinion on my parenting.
No where did I question your parenting. I made a comment about an over all belief that kids need more responsibility these days. Calm down padre.
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 3 weeks ago:
18 here but at that age kids gotta grow up. Helping them financially when they get into a pickle is one thing but not teaching them what stuff costs sets them up for a world of hurt.
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 4 weeks ago:
That’s crazy, it means you’re going to write off the entire worth of the vehicle in 2 years time. The hell do you live that you’re paying $500 a month for 2 vehicles? Or do you have a shit driving record?
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 4 weeks ago:
16 year olds shouldn’t be driving anyways, so I’m not surprised your premiums went up. Also…24 and you’re still paying for his insurance???
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 4 weeks ago:
O they absolutely collude on pricing, but $250 a month for full coverage means you’re probably driving a nearly brand new car…just why. Why does everyone buy the latest and greatest constantly and then cry about how much shit costs.
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 4 weeks ago:
Lol you’re good, we do need to spend a lot more on our education system though.
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 4 weeks ago:
Car…car insurance, it’s why I called out we needing single payer healthcare. This video was a dude bitching about car insurance.
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 4 weeks ago:
Yea usually you gotta do it every few years.
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 4 weeks ago:
Highschool needs to teach financial literacy. $200 a month for insurance is insane. I pay that for 3 vehicles on full coverage (older trucks and suv, but damn).
Not saying this guy is wrong to be pissed but I see a lot of people who just don’t understand how to shop around for shit and just eat the cost.

- Comment on Is compressed air the best way to clean my pc that I consider dusting once every 2 years? 4 weeks ago:
Buy a small 3 gallon air compressor from like harbor freight or your equivalent, add in a moisture capture and then go to town. Those hand held ones are fine but you can do a lot more with an air compressor than you can with the hand held ones.

- Comment on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 | Review Thread 5 weeks ago:
The originals gameplay was boring and uninspired as well. This game really stood with its story and RPG elements not its combat and gameplay.
- Comment on Tech industry grad hiring crashes 46% as bots do junior work 5 weeks ago:
Not saying some will jump to other fields, but the nearly 5 years of code farming bullshit happened and we recovered.
- Comment on Tech industry grad hiring crashes 46% as bots do junior work 5 weeks ago:
Same shit when we shipped the jobs in 2013 to code farms that had no fucking clue how to actually do dev work. It’ll come back in a few years. Give it no more than another 5 years of this shit and code will be so fucked production will grind to a halt requiring these idiots to rehire competent devs again, then the jr positions will follow.

There is something wrong with the firearm itself. I’d contact heritage. Thankfully these guns are stupid cheap. So they might just replace the thing completely.

- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 1 month ago:
Unless it’s changed, IT was never a major in any colleges I’ve been to or studied at. It’s always been labeled compsci. It’s kinda like if someone asked what your major was in and you said health. At least that has been my experience.
- Comment on Trump says ‘bad things’ will happen if Afghanistan does not return Bagram air base 1 month ago:
Not saying the withdrawal was a complete shit show, but it’s not our job to fix nations. We shouldn’t be telling anyone how to live. They want to oppress themselves that’s on them, because at the end of the day, you can’t kill citizens of a nation and expect them to want to keep you in place.
- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 1 month ago:
I know what compsci is, but it’s no longer what it was in the past. It’s now the catch all for most IT jobs. Dev included. And a ton of software is developed for windows because windows is the most dominant os in the world. This isn’t some dig at Linux or macos, it’s just the facts.
- Comment on Trump says ‘bad things’ will happen if Afghanistan does not return Bagram air base 1 month ago:
What? No. We shouldn’t have been there in the first place. We don’t need to return. We’re not the worlds police.
- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 1 month ago:
Comp sci is not just dev work, it’s literally the catch all for all things that deal with, well computers/tech.
Takes 2 seconds to google what comp sci majors fall into. It’s a broad range of fields.
These days it might as well be a business degree.
- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 1 month ago:
Yes because the world is run by devs…
Companies run windows for 90% of their shit. The rest is linux/macos.
No where in this entire thread was anyone talking about dev work only.

I don’t know much about IT (I’m CS), but Ad is very specific to Windows, no? Shouldn’t you instead be asking them about higher-level concepts like access controls, networking principles (http vs tcp vs ip, routing, dns, etc), and basics of cybersecurity (attack surface, network segmentation, etc)? It sounds like you’re looking for practical knowledge about specific solutions rather than familiarity with concepts.
CS still operates heavily in the windows environment. The majority of the world and businesses operate in windows. You should know the basics. Asking high level concepts isn’t needed if they’re unable to answer basic foundational questions which most companies operate in
Learning our stack when you’re comfortable with programming in general isn’t all that difficult, learning our stack when you struggle with basic concepts will be a challenge though.
And you just summarized what I’ve been saying.
Also CS is my field as well, and knowing how the basics work inside of a windows environment, is a basic concept.
I don’t know why so many are down voting this idea.
If you put out a job listing for say splunk, and you show up and don’t even know the basics of how DBs work… that’s what I’m referring to.

At least they apologized, I did that really early into my career, had a friend of mine set me up with what he thought was a good fit, only for me to walk into a senior level position and after 2 questions realize I’m not a good fit at all, tell them that I apologize for wasting their time and that I’m not qualified for what they’re looking for.
- Comment on US | Trump to impose $100,000 fee per year for H-1B visas, in likely blow to tech 2 months ago:
So torn on this, H-1Bs where designed to fill in roles that were difficult to fill, but companies use them as a way to keep from paying proper wages. They’ve heavily abused the system, but at the same time the turnip will probably use this as a way to get tech firms to do what he wants, in a promise to wave the fee.
