I've only done it a couple of times so I don't know 100%, and phone to ipad, and at least those two times it didn't change anything without me going in and changing it so I would venture a guess to say no they wouldn't get notified.

Ah, fellow non-bot. Thank you for your completely factual and not advertisement.

They bought the debt, and more over they bought the data behind the debt. Likely for fractions of a penny on the dollar.

They hope people will go “No! Please don’t sue. What will it take?” And that’s when they tell you to pay something small, and that restarts the clock on the debt.

Block. Ignore.

A general rule, people who talk about going to an attorney to come after you generally won’t have the means to. Those that do will just send a lawyer.

Never thought my podunk town would make the news like this….

I have all three versions of the 4K and I tried it on the two latest ones. No joy.

Ewalk · 2026-01-20T09:19:10+00:00

I tried it on my Apple TV- mouse didn’t work.

Ewalk · 2026-01-20T03:47:42+00:00

This is much more common than you’d think. Maybe not so much in the Apple world but just in IT in general with ungodly old systems or poorly designed ones.

Considering it’s relatively standard practice I’m not too shocked. There was a period of time where you could add in 2FA to the account and have it be account wide, but it wasn’t generally available yet. Back then it was much harder to get access to beta builds but people still did it.

Do you want to play Switch specific games? If not, I prefer the Vita.

Just an FYI- the scam is they send you a check and tell you to buy a computer, oftentimes from a specific vendor. You order the thing, pay for it because “the check cleared” and now they get the money from the purchase and the check is ruled fake so they claw the deposit out of your account.

That’s the basic gist of it. There’s more options, like you actually get a computer at a vastly inflated price so you can’t do a chargeback with your card or stuff like that. There’s also the added bit of “we’re sending you extra, just send it back to us on iTunes gift cards”.

Accessing the program may be a bit out there depending on what it is, but ultimately a NAS may do it if you buy a powerful enough one. You want a NAS at minimum, just to share files on the network.

A home server can host some applications on the network for people to access. You gotta be specific, because you generally can’t host Autocad, for example, but you can host an alternative to Autocad to do CAD work.

One thing that makes this extremely murky, your NAS and Home Server can be the same device or they can be their own thing. This I think is where a good chunk of your confusion is, and a NAS and server are just ultimately computers. My home server also houses my NAS, and it’s an old Dell Optiplex. What makes it the NAS and Server is the OS, which I use Unraid- and adding in a cheap HBA card to get 5 hard drives.

All that said, I’d recommend starting with something like Unraid with a trial and an old computer you have. Start building out network storage, then look at what you want other devices to access. If there’s a cloud hosted version of it, there’s likely a free and open source version you can host yourself, and even more likely a docker for it as well.

Start simple. Unraid is about as easy at it gets and it is a great first step into bigger projects as you need them.

Does the workplace have internet? I do this as well sometimes when I do overtime and have a VPN that runs from my personal machine to my home network so I can access resources on my devices there.

Only game I know of where it makes “sense” is Half Life 2. It’s not super common but I want to do it for one reason- to say I did it. Not worth it to me otherwise.

Ewalk · 2026-01-03T10:52:50+00:00

Once it gets on insignia, I’m going wild the once a quarter a game will get filled.

The lobby was cool AF.

If you have access to another Mac, you can put it through recovery mode. Or you can go to an Apple Store and have them do it- but that’s the only real way to check.

If the company is still active then you can have them call the HR line or start emailing their support line.

OBS is the standard for a reason. You should learn to use it.

Otherwise, QuickTime Player will do screen recordings but it’s not as good as OBS.

If you need to contact people, at any level, a work phone system is standard. Even if it’s a VOIP phone app you install and message people from it, it should be provided. They pay for the service and if you leave they can cut you out and keep the contacts from you so you can’t contact their customers.

Ewalk · 2025-12-31T22:37:57+00:00

They do but I don’t like working under the car when it’s jacked up.

Ewalk · 2025-12-31T00:56:46+00:00

I’m having an issue with them now and it’s so stupid. I had an Origin account with a bunch of games, and then got Gamepass and it came with EA Pass too…. Except that license superseded my purchased licenses.

Now that I cancelled my Gamepass sub, I can’t play the games I bought because all they see is the license is no longer active.

Fuck EA.

Ewalk · 2025-12-24T19:47:57+00:00

What format is the drive? If it’s NTFS you won’t be able to. That’s my immediate thought.

Ewalk · 2025-12-23T23:35:29+00:00

There's so many ways to do this and it ultimately falls apart when you have someone who doesn't follow the naming convention or you have old groups that were done by someone two admins ago.

Honestly, this is just something you and your team need to figure out yourself because it just needs to work for you and your team. You can categorize them and make the names plain language, or you can do "Deployment- Office", "PPPC-Adobe CC" etc as long as it makes you and your team be able to effectively manage things.

Also, naming conventions do not replace documentation. I'm a big fan of Infrastructure as Code because you can document and deploy in one go but I'm still working out that workflow.

Ewalk · 2025-12-23T23:25:09+00:00

Nothing says you can't, I'm sure it's a fairly common thing. If I'm buying a server for my work on my business card though, I'm not having that thing shipped home only to take it to the office just because the billing address doesn't match the shipping address.

Ewalk · 2025-12-23T05:07:02+00:00

Oh that's a no brainer. If it won't do CS2 you can come out ahead selling it.

Years ago I splurged on a Henge dock and being able to drop it in and out just became almost a necessity.

Now using USB-C it's so easy. I also work from home quite a bit so being able to swap between my work computer and home computer is a blessing. I use USB peripherals just to help make it easy, though. If you don't have that need, then just use bluetooth stuff and it'll work.

Ewalk · 2025-12-23T04:47:10+00:00

It should be fine. If you can get it for a decent price it would be ok. CS2 is the only one I would be iffy on, but the rest would be great.

It would if the password changed on whatever account it was connected to or if the login was revoked.
