Tekchip

Sure can!

So Bigland then.

I get the joke.

But related real talk phones get got a lot. They won’t need to steal your phone they’ll just hack it like every other computer on the planet.

You don’t have to look much for the evidence.

Deployed to Iraq cross leveled to a different unit. One of the staff sargents at this unit, who I didn’t know at all, just had a super creepy touch children type look and vibe about him. I knew some shit was going to go down with this guy.

There were two privates, both super young like 18-19, married to each other in this unit. Turns out he slept with the wife and it came out right as we were getting into country.

The Army pretty much straight disappeared that Staff Sgt. I didn’t see him again for like 8 months. Not even around the billeting. I wish I had said something before all that went down. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not if you install Firefox from Flatpak. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Flatpak steam can do all that. You just have to learn to control the flatpak sandbox. There are CLI commands of course or you can install Flatseal which is a real nice gui that lets you control the sandbox for each individual flatpak app. https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

Just add whatever drive/directory/mount point in the filesystem path for Steam in flatseal and Steam can see it.

Mainframes and old databases? It was 98/99 not 88/89. I spent all my time updating Netscape navigator, Windows and Java in my IT job for a fortune 500. I’m sure someone was still running crazy old stuff, someone always is, but it was solidly the age of the internet by then. I had a cable modem by that time.

TIL there’s a name. I suppose that would be it.

From the Wikipedia this is spot on.

Ability to grasp math on a conceptual level, but an inability to put those concepts into practice.

I didn’t say I’m not a math person. It literally becomes confusing. I imagine it’s like how dislexia works. They know words. They know what words say, just putting them together doesn’t happen the same way as everyone else. I fundamentally understand the individual elements but I just can’t assemble them properly in my brain like I can with everything else. Even if I know the formula and put the numbers in the right places it’s like the processing step in my brain just…doesn’t, or won’t. Hard to explain.

Math and by extension programming. It makes sense. Then I fill in the numbers, it enters my brain and then just goes to a garbled mess. I get lost in a for loop. WTF…

Similar to what others have said you need to make some changes. Figure out how the game works. Get educated. Find a new job, get certs, go back to school, rehab your credit, find a cheaper place, make moves.

Oh yeah, you nailed it. Clearly worked for the OP… I also didn’t put a value on said opportunity cost. Perhaps it’s greater than $250 depending on the individual. Subjective as opportunity cost can sometimes be. Not trying to ascertain or consider it is at best just short sighted, or perhaps at worst ignorant. Cheap junk, effectively rented according to the EULA, subject to the whims of the rights holders, is never the way.

Best Buy does this all for you for $80, assuming the person is in the US. I expect this is available most places for similar prices though. You can get anything from a BT only unit for $20 online to a much nicer unit with Android Auto/iOS’s thing. While the initial cost might be higher the opportunity cost of your thing being disabled is almost certainly much higher, as this thread’s existence seems to support. $150-$200 well worth it in the long run to do a head unit upgrade.

As monstrous as it is yyyy-mm-dd could also be misconstrued by said unfortunate Americans as yyyy-dd-mm because…well…yeah. As noted elsewhere this dd mmm yyyy format also works nicely in written and verbal communication as 12th of august where no one ever is going to write or speak to each other twenty twenty three august twelfth. So again, more universal and less ambiguous.

Lot of talk of numerics only. The problem there is knowing what format the information is in since clearly there are 3 possibilities. Without context and during certain parts of the month you’re hosed. Best to remove ambiguity and go with the alpha numeric format.

DD MMM YY (or alternatively YYYY)

Ambiguity gone.

A Tek chip was the delivery mechanism for the VR drugs from the William Shatner authored TekWar books.

For anyone curious about those audits. https://bitwarden.com/help/is-bitwarden-audited/

As with most things security it’s about assessing your risk.

If you’re a granny with a hand full of passwords then a notebook is probably fine.

I think for most people, who aren’t CEOs, high value employees, or some kind of holder of the keys to a kingdom beyond their personal bank account, a solid full e2ee password manager that’s cloud synced is a nice middle ground of security vs convenience. It beats a post it under keyboard or a notebook left on the night stand.

For those CEOs, or high value employees then something offline is in order. Or as I’ve seen others note perhaps a combo of full offline and cloud synced for less important logins.

I recommend Bitwarden as others have here. It seems to be the one that’s come through unscathed thus far and the company behind it seems to be making the right moves to stay ahead of risks. https://bitwarden.com/help/is-bitwarden-audited/

Kind of a peripheral to this there are specialized toothpastes that I feel like a lot of people don’t know about. I had some gum issues that also made flossing uncomfortable. My dentist recommended Crest Gum Detoxify which, when used along with regular flossing, got my gums right real fast. Basically one 6 month cleaning period of using the toothpaste and flossing regularly and now my gums don’t bother me. Now I use two toothpastes. Gum detox in the morning and flossing with regular toothpaste in the evening. No more gum problems.
