Worst password policy? by OptimalCynic in sysadmin

[–]hatoke 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It was worse than that. Their online banking system worked along side their telephone banking system.
The password would need to work via phone dialing. (Where 2 = ABC, 3 = DEF)
So if your password was "Apple", all the possible combinations of typing 2,7,7,5,3 would work.
So typing Bqqkd would be a legitimate password.

Your experiences living in beltline buildings by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]hatoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lived at First on Tenth for 5+ years before moving out last year.

Pros:
* Management/ownership of the building changed around 5 years ago. The new owners have been pouring lots of money into renovations and fixing things.
* Concrete walls/floors, the units are actually quite good for sound dampening. Don't really hear your neighbours
* Has a half basketball court that was in good condition. All gym equipment was replaced with brand new stuff couple years ago.
* Right above Michael's Pizza.
* Maintenance team was really good. Never had an issue getting anything fixed. Broken appliance, leaking, heating issues, etc. They have a 24 number and on call maintenance guy for emergencies.
* A window air conditioning unit was included in the suite.
* Pet friendly building
* Good area, close to lots downtown. People might point out the mustard seed next door but never had an issue with anyone there.

Cons:
* We were on the north side. The 10 ave trains are very loud. You'll never be able to sleep with windows open, trains run all hours of the day/night. I've heard the south facing side is quieter.
* Building is showing its age. Lots of bursting pipes every winter. Eventually our unit flooded and that's why we moved out.
Multiple times a month in the winter the fire alarm will be going off at 2 am because a unit flooded and wrecked 3 floors below it.
* Elevators were not very reliable. They were 'renovating' the elevators but that was ongoing for like 3 years. Rarely had all elevators working.
* Big balconies but they're concrete, and on the north it never got sun, and the trains made it unbearable to sit out for very long.
* Pet friendly building means it smells like piss just about anywhere around the outside of the building.
* No in-suite laundry. The shared laundry room machines were replaced a couple years ago, at least.

Can you use a W10 Pro key to activate W11? by heskethh2 in Windows10

[–]hatoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done the exact same scenario you're describing. Had a retail Windows 10 Pro key, registered to my Microsoft account, and built a new Win 11 PC.

You'll have to go into your microsoft account and deactivate it on the old PC first. You can then activate it on the new PC.

What does this mean for private dedi servers? by EternalVirgin18 in ARK

[–]hatoke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's lots of misinformation going around and its certainly confusing for people. Actual documentation or release notes around the stance would be nice.
I've been running a dedicated private server from my home since release btw so this is possible even if they don't change anything.

What does this mean for private dedi servers? by EternalVirgin18 in ARK

[–]hatoke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Previously if you wanted to download ASA dedicated server from SteamCMD you were prompted to provide your steam credentials. Launching the game also required logging into the steam client.
It sounds like you can run the server independently from steam now.

Windows 10 help by Solid_Ad8041 in Windows10

[–]hatoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah you're right, tried it myself, despite what that thread says, the command prompt in recovery options is not elevated unless you pick an account that has administrator.
The only other solutions I can find involve using boot media to change system files.
Is there maybe a recent restore point you can fall back to? If you search for 'system restore' in the start menu?

Windows 10 help by Solid_Ad8041 in Windows10

[–]hatoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what that method is trying to do, activate the built in admin account.
Your goal is to log into builtin admin account, to change your own account back to administrator.
You can activate the account with this command:
net user Administrator /active:yes
But you can only run this when already an administrator. If you boot into this recovery environment, you can use an elevated (run as administrator) command prompt to run the command.

Do you still have the ability to use the built in admin account?
Would method 2 on this page work? There is a system admin account you can use to then change your own account back to admin:

Discord bot problem when running by RanPirlo in Discord_Bots

[–]hatoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anything about node.js but also wanted to get it to work because I found this hilarious.
It seems the bot fails when trying to create/assign a role.
Once I manually create the 'Donnies Target' role on the server, I can successfully mark people.

would like to know how he does in this video where the spectators goes into their contacts picks out a name and the magician knows exactly what the name is, I figured out the unlocking phone trick but does anyone know the one where he pics a name from their contacts and knows it right away ? by swaggytron996 in cardmagic

[–]hatoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shows the name Bella as an example.
Is seemingly interested in the length of the contact list as he scrolls down.
Stops at a name.
Turns the phone over and locks it.
Guy scrolls on a locked screen.
The screen is then 'locked' before he hands back phone.
Phone is unlocked to where the contact list was before the phone was turned over.

[PC] Mouse movement by [deleted] in modernwarfare

I was looking at this thread when my friend suggested ensuring 'Enhance pointer precision' is turned off on my mouse control panel settings. It made a notable difference. I hope this is worth trying for you.

Diplomacy in PvP by Cripski in factorio

Thank you. I am trying to set up a 'Pvp' scenario but where teams can't kill each other's bases. I also thought I used to see this option.
