  • While making this easier to access isn’t a positive, there are a ton of ways that this can, and already is, being done at companies that actually care about this shit.

    Yeah you’re totally in the office, but your laptop just magically has an IP from the subnet for devices connected over VPN 🙄

    Once again I must insist that people need to stop expecting any privacy on work devices. It is possible to find out anything on them, including location, it’s just a matter of how much effort your workplace is willing to expend on looking.

    Edit: While I appreciate the article being short and to the point, a link to any documentation on this would have been nice. The claim is that it will display the SSID of the Wi-Fi AP you’re connected to. While being able to get that from your phone is a new bit of reach, it’s possible to gather that from work devices easily.

    Man, everyone is jumping to the conclusion there’s an age gap. Have none of you met anyone that doesn’t look their age?

    As an aside, my wife and I are 14 years apart. She’s the older one. Started dating when I was 23 (she was 37, so the “rule” would have put her limit at 25.5) and married for nearly a decade now.




  • Texts, teams messages, etc seem to cause people to try and speak in single sentences

    Oh my god this. I’ve gotten some well natured teasing from co-workers about taking a while to type multiple sentence teams messages (they’ll see the typing icon in the full team group chat), but when the alternative is a back and forth that doesn’t need to happen, or them having to wait a few minutes from first message until the idea is complete, I think it’s the best approach.


  • Maybe spend a few minutes searching before throwing shade. Cynicism’s easy. Here’s what I found in about 3 minutes:

    He founded the marine research non-profit Inkfish, and a custom yacht building company OceanCo that builds ships for it.

    Depending on the source I’m finding that they have 3 ships/yachts in their fleet with a new one under construction, and the Leviathan has most or all of the normal luxury features swapped out for additional lab space, hospital, 3d printing and fabrication workshops. One of the ships carries a crew of 75 scientists.

    Their mission statement includes the intent to share all their discoveries freely.

    You can look up images of the ships. They look like what I’d expect of research vessels, not billionaire pleasure ships.


    Additionally, I’m seeing that he also co-founded the “Heart of Racing” race team that raises money for childrens charities, he’s donated significant money to pediatric ICU in New Zealand (where he lives), and also co-founded foundry10 which is “a education research organization that funds and develops programs to improve youth learning.”


    Again, I’m not saying the man’s a saint or our friend. Steam has a very positive track record, he is putting more resources into philanthropic endeavours than many others in his position, and he’s not crowing about it so much that everyone knows he’s doing the philanthropic shit.


  • As others have said, is Gooey, is friend.

    Lorewise he’s made up of the same stuff as Dark Matter one of the big villians, but the power of friendship means he’s friend.

    Mechanics wise, he’s player 2. If you don’t have a real player 2, he’ll be controlled by a basic CPU that mostly copies what you do.

    I’ve heard there’s also some cheese you can do by spawning him when you only have one health (negating the one health cost to spawn him) and then eating him to restore up to two health, but imo Dreamland 3 is better without cheesing it.


    Unasked for advice: In Dreamland 3, the game that screenshot is from, every level (except boss fights) have some sort of puzzle in the level you can complete to get a “heartstar” from whatever character is standing on the last screen of the level. You unlock the true final boss by collecting all the heartstars and beating each worlds boss while you have all of them for that world.

    As is Kirby tradition, the true final boss is horrifying.
