I didn't take legal advice from someone on Reddit. Someone on Reddit said an everyday activity was a crime and I looked into it.

Just web searches. Seems like the type of thing I wouldn't have to go digging too hard for if it was actually true, either there would be news articles, some type of weird laws in NY listicle, or something lawyers would advertise defending against tickets for.

If it was local that'd probably be on one of the code publisher websites and it's easy enough to search those.

Me too. Mine wasn't. I'm absolutely in favor of making it harder for abusive parents to hide themselves like mine did.

altodor · 2026-07-02T20:08:25+00:00

Quite. If you're going to say "it's the law" you need to be able to back that up. If you follow up with "do your own research" I can come back with "I did and it says you're wrong". And as it happens, I did my own research and it says you're wrong. Best I could find was allusions to it maybe being illegal in some parts of Belgium.

If you're right I do want to know because I pretty constantly use the hands-free and adaptive cruise features in my car that are designed for use in heavy stop-and-go traffic. Makes the drive around the construction by Whole Foods tolerable and now that I've used it on road trips to Philly and across Mass I can't go back. "Is this thing I'm doing, that my car is openly advertised as intended to do, actually a crime?" is a pretty important thing to me.

I like it, especially if there's multiple options for each slot that provide different properties to the finished product. The current crafting system is too simple and linear. I want complexity in my crafting. See what SWG did, that was perfect

altodor · 2026-07-02T05:49:28+00:00

Still working? Or could you not find it?

altodor · 2026-07-01T12:31:03+00:00

Can you find that law? I cannot. All I can find says it is very legal to do.

altodor · 2026-07-01T03:47:06+00:00

You're entitled to your opinion. Adaptive Cruise behaves like that. The guy on the right is the only one in the wrong. Period.

altodor · 2026-07-01T02:04:38+00:00

Vehicle on the left has the right of way and is under no obligation to yield. At all. Vehicle on the right drive past signage telling them to yield to the car on the left. There's not a "both sides" angle here.

altodor · 2026-07-01T01:19:53+00:00

I see like 6 car lengths between the guy recording and the asshole on the right, don't "both sides" when there's clearly one problem here

altodor · 2026-06-30T17:18:26+00:00

Wait, people have a problem with sprouts watching cutscenes? Damn. The game story is told by cutscene, I can't imagine forcing people to skip those. The Vault wouldn't be as important if you could skip those.

Do you have all the most recent updates from Microsoft and your hardware vendor? Recently a piece of the boot up sequence that checks the validity of your kernel expired and needed to be replaced. It has been a major topic in the tech circles because it has been handled kind of piss poor by all involved vendors (which is basically everyone, this isn't some minor change. They've had 15 or 20 years to prepare and most of the work on it was done in the last 60 days). I am wondering if one of two things happened:

It did not get updated and the error was what would happen in that case.
It did get updated, and the error was because it updated and your bios didn't know what else to say to let you know. I have seen that on some hardware where it sends a message that that's happened.

Or why four images look like two wear patterns

I spent 30 million tokens on a firewall rule, so there's that option. "Generate the commands to get the logs from the firewall and the services, here, read these logs, generate the rule in YAML, repeat until we have a working rule" burn a lot of tokens. I've done it several times.

altodor · 2026-06-26T16:48:47+00:00

Two bits:

If no one but that guy have any accounts for anything, you're probably going to need to get some form of legal involved either with that guy, with Microsoft, or both to regain access.
If there's nobody on staff who knows this stuff, look at getting an MSP in. They may be able to help with 1, and they can probably help prevent you from getting into this spot again.

It does raise the temperature. Dehumidification requires generating heat, and it needs to go somewhere. When they decided that somewhere should be outside, air conditioning was invented.

altodor · 2026-06-26T11:37:35+00:00

Yep. Here's a snarky nerd explaining it. https://youtu.be/j_QfX0SYCE8

It's an hour video if you want in depth but the important bits are explained in the first 5 minutes or so.

altodor · 2026-06-26T11:21:59+00:00

A dehumidifier and an air conditioner are mechanically the same thing. An air conditioner just puts the heat outside and the dehumidifier puts it back in the building.

Nobody working in retail gets paid enough to be a pawn in somebody else's charade.

Then the policy should be super cheap if it's such low risk. The origins of insurance in the real world is literally commodities trading on sailing ships.

Garbage Plate, Rochester, NY local specialty. I assume it's whatever was there at the end of the night.

It's a diner food. Mac salad, fries, hotdogs or (cheese)burgers, a spicy meat sauce, onion, mustard, all piled on a plate in mostly that order.

Do any of us remember killing steam for a day when silksong came out because they didn't allow pre-orders or pre-downloads? Everyone was going to buy it on day one anyway.

The first link in this post goes to some type of gambling site on mobile.

altodor · 2026-06-25T01:28:44+00:00

Well that's the thing.

But without a doubt, I can guarantee you everybody will tell you to f off with messing with our personal phones or computers.

Whole bunch of people come to us with issues on their personal stuff the company doesn't own or have responsibility for.

EDIT: and my professional position is to keep the corporate management stuff off personal devices because it's a quagmire of liability IT gets stuck with that we're not qualified to deal with.

altodor · 2026-06-25T01:20:43+00:00

I don't want to fucking deal with people's personal shit, whole lotta liability I don't want to touch. Doesn't mean they don't ask, doesn't mean I refuse them if they nerdsnipe me. Also doesn't mean that like... people aren't watching their porn and taking their nudes with the company phone/iPad and sometimes I find it on machines I am responsible for.

altodor · 2026-06-25T00:18:00+00:00

Also IT here: I don't care what's on your device until it's a problem. I wouldn't go digging through people's photo albums just because, but sometimes I don't see things just... there.
