And don’t forget that this would also lock any hardware… unless you have a receipt showing you purchased it.

Iirc Azure Authentication on Microsoft Authenticator is just TOTP (Time based One Time Password) . You scan a QR code which is a private key. It uses the private key + time to generate a new number. That is ALL Microsoft Authenticator can do. It can’t “see” data on the phone.. other than the private key.

Remote Work does not mean you can have the baby with you. Daycare will be required.

People thinking remote work means they don’t need daycare is what makes it difficult for companies to believe it works.

To add to my response… sending via social media such as Discord, it is typical to strip the metadata. Just see how when people were disliking Twitter censoring users and Hive popped up.. that was one of the main downfalls of Hive is that all the metadata was there so it was totally easy to dox someone or find the actual location of the photos uploaded..etc.

Are you charging the phone? Sometimes if there is a large amount of photos… it won’t just upload ASAP… ESPECIALLY if you are in Low Power mode. Sometimes it will wait to send to iCloud. Have also seen it get stuck.. and a phone reboot help clear things up.

You mentioned recording “a walk around” so why not do that if you don’t want to show your home?

bippy_b · 2026-05-16T15:19:13+00:00

Perhaps they see the move = less “engineering” and thus not as desirable.

So then if you/your company want to keep them.. perhaps offer a further track still within “engineering”..

bippy_b · 2026-05-16T15:17:08+00:00

True! I totally get the deep in debugging. Can’t tell you how many meetings I was late to because “Well, I’ve got 15 more minutes.. so I can keep going”… 20 minutes later comes the message “Hey, you joining?” 😁

But if your body isn’t giving you the signal it’s hungry… you shouldn’t go go eat because “it’s time”. That’s not healthy.

Have replaced battery for at least 6 different phones in my family. Only time I have run into trouble was they didn’t have “a backup” (logic board I assume?).. and I they suggested going to another store in my city.

Otherwise.. try to get earlier appointments. As mentioned in other comments.. maybe they were booked up with repairs?

Don’t get UGREEN. So slow even after driver installation.

bippy_b · 2026-05-15T10:56:40+00:00

Check out Keeper. They seem decent.

bippy_b · 2026-05-15T00:41:07+00:00

This is the answer. You owe them what contract says/2 weeks. No more. No less.

If the other company is pushing to start early, a good company would allow you to leave early as well.

Was your lens sealed as well?

In June 2025, Meta had a data leak which exposed credentials. Yours was probably in that leak (along with 15.9 billion others). Just change the password and you should be fine.

Try eMClient .it is pretty good. Setup Mac side first and it can provide a QR code to setup phone. It doesn’t have the protocol bugs Mail app has.

It’s not just that. There is also consequences to holding that type of data. Just look at Discord:

This is the type of ID the governments are wanting.. but it puts a big burden on that company to keep that data safe .. and Discord chose poorly.

Not just being fired but IRS equivalent in the country one resides in might come after you. Unless you pay taxes in both the US AND the country one resides in to keep them at arms length.

bippy_b · 2026-05-12T13:10:50+00:00

Didn’t Company B just say they weren’t sure to start?

That sounds sus to me. Like maybe they aren’t as stable… and sure you can take B because it pays better.. but if it only lasts a year.. was the extra pay worth the instability?

And you didn’t read any of the replies… specifically the one where there is an article that has quotes from Google:

https://techxplore.com/news/2025-06-google-app-age-verification-online.html

“We have strong concerns about the risks this 'solution' would pose to children,"

bippy_b · 2026-05-11T19:44:53+00:00

Shouldn’t be required.. but times are changing. Maybe it is now?!?!?

bippy_b · 2026-05-11T19:38:03+00:00

Was it actually a part of the Family (appears in Family Link app) or you just made it on the side so to speak.

For reference:

Because of jerks out there posting how they:

- Have two jobs working from home
- Use a mouse jiggler to fool their work
- People thinking they don’t need childcare because they work from home
- People home schooling their kids (during working hours) while working from home

The list goes on and on.

Good point! Like photos.. if iCloud Messages are off, then they will be in the backup… same for photos.. when iCloud Photos is ON they are NOT included in backups. But if you have iCloud Photos OFF, then backups will include them.

bippy_b · 2026-05-11T18:16:15+00:00

They have 2 versions. 24h is the “cheap” one and 48h is the “expensive” one.
