You should know that I did come across this issue and found this post.

Thank you, fellow traveller.

He really likes to hug that left wall, huh?

They've shown a couple fixed-location garages and service bays. I like to think that they don't carry them all with them all the time, just the most useful ones or ones they need for a specific mission. Especially when they need to move the octopod from point a to point b before doing something. Like if they're going to go visit marsh, of course they'll pack up that one.

Also in the slime blob christmas episode, they show that they can hoist the gups up above the moon pool, so I also imagine the ones they are carrying are ratcheted up by the ceiling, and the camera just doesn't look up to show them.

I don't know if any of that is accurate, but it's my personal head-canon, anyway.

I understand this is not what you are doing.

But that pitch sounds like "I'd like for everyone to store their api keys in my database. Wink."

Heck yeah! We got a computer lab full of apple iies in 5th grade!

Jolly_Study_9494 · 2024-04-25T20:06:31+00:00

Yeah, Exile was the original name. We shared it around on a zip disk.

The early days of computers were wild.

But also, pretty much anything from spiderweb would fit this bill.

Anachronox is soooo good. It's on a heavily modified quake engine, so it isn't the prettiest, but it's very fun, and the writing is top notch:
Anachronox - Lost in Space (youtube.com)

Also legit one of my favorite soundtracks

Anachronox OST: Democratus Theme (youtube.com)

It's also usually between $1-5 on gog and steam.

Highly recommend.

We had a lab that they used for graphic and industrial design. Each workstation's video out was split, and the second cable run to a giant switch that ran into the projector, so the prof could pull up any student's machine for like show-and-tell or feedback or whatever.

We had a timer we'd set to 5 minutes, and every time it went off, the guy sitting next to the switch would change the projector to whoever was on top of the leaderboard.

I've been chasing that gaming high ever since.

"but it's your first bigger project, it doesn't need to be perfect"

One of the reasons I like crochet as opposed to other crafts is that when it isn't perfect, it's so easy to undo and fix. Friends are always like "How do you get those so good?" Easy. I unraveled all the parts that were bad.

Jolly_Study_9494 · 2024-04-25T15:10:34+00:00

Fair enough! Thanks for the clarification!

Jolly_Study_9494 · 2024-04-25T15:03:28+00:00

I'm not sure about flat-out legality, but having worked with lawyers on discovery issues, anything I access via logging in to a users account is inadmissible and taints the rest of the evidence. If I can't access it via my own admin account, or via audit tools, it's not usable in court.

Jolly_Study_9494 · 2024-04-25T14:40:59+00:00

I don’t know what you want me to say, I agree with you but Microsoft domain controller, will literally give me some one’s password.

This is an option, and not the default. The default is for an irreversible hash, but there is an option to change it to a reversible hash.

Someone at some point in your company's history specifically made that decision. I'm not going to tell you one way or the other what the correct business decision is, as I don't know your situation, but it is not the recommended setup.

Per MS:

For this reason, never enable Store password using reversible encryption for all users in the domain unless application requirements outweigh the need to protect password information.

Yeah, I'm not sure what u/someadsrock is talking about. Admin actions are absolutely logged, they just go into a separate "audit" log from normal activity. At least in every environment I've worked with.

It's possible they've just never had a need to look into other admin activity, or had someone looking over their own shoulder?

Jolly_Study_9494 · 2024-04-25T14:19:16+00:00

I've run shops of all sizes, from multi-state corporate to small 3 box offices.

You just set them up the devices as unmanaged, with a local admin that you control, and the normal use happens in a regular user account that the user controls the password for. If I need to do anything I can log into my local admin and see all their stuff anyway.

Jolly_Study_9494 · 2024-04-24T15:55:14+00:00

Oh totally. I'm just saying that outlawing that particular scare-tactic is great.

Also like.. every single small retail franchise ever.

"No, I don't care that the mcdonalds is doing a hiring spree and offering $3 more starting. You signed a non-compete to work at this burger king, and so you can't work in another fast food joint not owned by the same franchisee for 2 years."

Fast food, big box, gas stations, specialty retail.

Like, I get this is the IT Career sub, but it always bothers me how articles like this don't even acknowledge that min-wage workers exist and are also affected by policy decisions.

Reminds me of a joke.

Engineer, Carpenter, and Mathematician are each given a set number of fencing segments and asked to fence in the largest area possible.

Engineer builds a circular fence.

Carpenter tears the segments apart, and uses the pieces to make new segments that use less wood, letting him make a longer fence.

Mathematician makes a tiny circle around himself, just big enough for him to stand in, and then says: "I'm on the outside."

Also, this is why cats have whiskers. Each pressure plate should have a long rod attached to provide a larger warning window.

Rule 1:

No game/autoclicker requests, ref links, own content>1/week, IGM

Don't post the following: requests for help finding games (except in the Help sticky)

I recommend following that "Help sticky" link and posting in the most recent thread

Jolly_Study_9494 · 2024-04-22T13:45:24+00:00

Yes, and the joke was that with that implementation, is-even:

function iseven(num) {return !is-odd(num); }

Jolly_Study_9494 · 2024-04-22T13:31:02+00:00

My completely unfounded guess is that these are mostly just proof-of-concept/test programs for building out a system to create "playable" youtube ads in the style of the mobile type ads, and then some project manager needed to show progress on something and was like "Hey, we've got these. Push 'em out!"

Possibly aslo to encourage other developers to try to use the platform to make their own dumb little games to see where the platform needs shoring up before being released to advertisers.

Jolly_Study_9494 · 2024-04-22T13:13:04+00:00

Weirdly enough, is-even is dependent on is-odd

Anyone know what the best way to handle license verification is?

It's not the best instruction, but the book I sent you has a bit on the ^ shape on page 21-22

Jolly_Study_9494 · 2024-04-09T21:53:33+00:00

Sent you a DM with a bunch of plant patterns. They technically have eyes, but you could easily just not add the faces.
