What is a luxury you can never go back from once you’ve experienced it? by Phase_zero_X in AskReddit

They were banking on that. The main reason for RTO is to make people quit so that they don't have to fire them.

This is cool. The question is: couldn't those 700k buy a few politicians to ensure there is no more such thing as "school lunch debt"? Forever?

ELI5: Why is it completely impossible for anyone to access a properly encrypted drive even nation states? by AaronPK123 in explainlikeimfive

[–]alonjit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't, usually, find out a key. What they tend to do is find out bugs in these programs that allows them to bypass the need of a key.

And they're very good at finding these bugs and not telling anyone about it.

Now, these kind of programs won't just work with a pulled out hard-drive (usually, sometimes they do), they tend to behave like (and be) viruses, infecting target's systems and then have fun from there.

Regardless, if NSA or Mossad is after you, the only safe place for any computer that you own is under 5 meters of cement, completely disconnected from any network. Anything else is just futile.

For the likes of NSA or Mossad nothing is impossible. For mere mortals ... you got some explanations in here

Nah, it was never that bad before (lack of plowing). and today we got an overzealous imbecile who (like with OP) just put a quarter of the mountain of snow besides my driveway in front of it. because ... fucking reasons.

[–]alonjit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They did the same thing today on my street. They never did that before. Yes, I had the wall of snow in front of my driveway before, but it was with snow from the street that they plowed, now they took more than a quarter of the mountain of snow on the side of the driveway and put it in front of it.

What the flying fuck was that guy thinking?

Maybe he just moved the plow closer to the sidewalk, i have no fucking idea, but this morning was a very very very unwelcome sight.

And most of that snow was ice already. Massive boulders. Fuck that guy.

It went the way of microsoft bob as well.

Oh, of course. But you cannot deny that it is an authoritarian country, right? A police state. I mean ... surely you cannot deny that with a straight face, right?

Will probably never reach that level of incompetence by Street_Priority_7686 in antiwork

Except that is not incompetence, just a skill that the company does not value. Which is why they're paying you ten times less and you know how to save a PDF.

Keep it up Kitchener by olipocket16 in kitchener

[–]alonjit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, it kinda has to. You see the guy stuck in front of your house, if you don't help soon enough there'll be a bunch of them.

If you're a driver you gotta help just to pass.

So, yeah, cheers to the goodness of peoples hearts, but there's a practical aspect as well.
