It promotes familiarity with the machine which is best to avoid. Except of course if the machine uprising happens, then it would be in you favour to have been using it for years.

Maybe they should give them extra money and resources so they can produce two versions: normal, and background mode with reiteration littered through it.

It’s missing layer 8 with a cat slowly and intentionally pushing the stack over while looking the IT cat directly in the eyes as it finally topples over. Then complains that nothing’s working but also not providing any helpful information.

You need to give yourself more credit. You didn’t become a failure, it was within you the whole time; you were always a failure…

That concludes my Pep Talk®

Pfft, that’s nothing! My strings is twelvety three

This reminded me of an anecdote from maybe 6 years ago. I was setting up and testing a small network and a couple devices to install for a customer, let’s say the subnet was 192.168.2.0/24.

Weird things were happening, I was being lazy and wasn’t directly connected to the network, may have setup a VPN between devices somewhere; can’t really remember. But pings would sometimes drop or blow out to 100’s ms.

I eventually ended up disconnecting that network entirely, then the pings continued and got more stable?? WTF! I need we didn’t have that subnet in use, even checked before setting it up. In the time between checking and the issues happening, someone in Sydney somewhere had stuffed up on their router and exposed there LAN to the internet without any Firewalls, just available.

Scanned and found all the IPs in use and in them found a printer. Connected to it and printed a page saying I’m from company XYZ and found all these devices available, and to either contact their IT and resolve it ASAP or my company to help. About an hour later it seemed to be resolved.

It was an interesting day.

But, but, splosion make line go up. Splosion good…?

I sure hope that 190 slider is also logarithmic

Have you tried turning your phone upside down?

I wish you’d get outta my life and shut up.

Sure, once, but that… Was a long time ago

I believe this is how you know:

Encore!!

That’s just made me think of something else about the day. Totally coincidental, but earlier in the day I was looking into what permission the Microsoft Company Portal App had on unmanaged Android and iOS devices for a concerned user.

Then I got the email from Apple support and was like WTF‽ Then I realised it was to my private email and went, damn! How’s that timing.

I’ve done this many times in the past, and not really sure what it was about this call that I didn’t.

That’s just made me wonder how much of a psychological aspects scammers are employing in there scams?

Yeah it was a legit apple support email and I compared it to the email I received after calling apple and starting a new case to give them all the info I could about the scam.

I assume that got my info from a data leak somewhere.

Yeah that’s how I think they did it.
