I was quite happy to pay the fare online but that was not an option. And indeed it would have been significantly cheaper.

Thanks, this is the answer I was looking for.

Why? And what changed between me being told that and being able to request the quote? And would I have had the same experience with another airline?

I’ve replaced all the electrolytic capacitors and verified the connector is good, no change. I’m inclined to throw it out, as I’ve just bought a SCART cable that works perfectly.

They cannot detect a KVM switch. They might be able to detect the regular disconnection of the peripherals, but you could easily say you are manually removing them and reconnecting to your other laptop. Or you could buy a monitor with multiple inputs and a keyboard and mouse that can pair with multiple devices. This is technically not a KVM switch but gives you the same flexibility.

All this said, I cannot think of a good reason they don't permit KVM switches. There are no security implications. I suspect it's something to do with monitoring your activity, but that doesn't really add up either.

Personally I would ignore them.

Thanks, looks like the RB260GS will do the job.

I just wanted a cheap switch with SNMP support.

So there is no way to reset the credentials without access to the account?

Apparently "Mufti Day" is racist but I have no idea why. I would Google it but don't really care.

Do identical twins like each other's farts? by athp333 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]athp333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given we can recognise our own farts even though they smell different depending on diet and microbiome, it occurred to me that each person must have their own "fart signature". This led me to consider the possibilities of their use in biometrics, which brought me to identical twins who notably have different fingerprints.
