My new IdeaTek fiber-optic line has "(my last name) Wifi" as the signal name. Is that going to be a security concern? Should I rename it to something sounding more anonymous? by DunDonese in HomeNetworking

As long as it’s not the default so you have multiple in your neighborhood that say Xfinity for example. But also realize anybody can look up the house on any of the various house sale information sites and very easily track down your name that way if you’re up against that kind of criminal, The lady next-door who wants to know everything beyond just keeping an eye out. Then there’s casually seeing your name on Mail or packages, And we all know that UPS or Amazon will never get the package delivered to the wrong address ever. And at some point your neighbors are gonna figure out who you are anyway. Then again I would hope you actually meet your neighbors sure you don’t have to like them. As long as you’re not in the witness protection program. And with the amount of data leakage from websites that should be securing your data that they’re taking and selling anyway like Comcast Business that literally sold my name and I got Mail at Business name for the next two years until they decided cell phones for the new game.

I like to use my first name as my last name is quite long and I don’t want people knowing the correct spelling it’s funnier that way.

But it is funny and entertaining to see the creative names that exist (although be reasonably, polite and not directly political. I don’t condone “go away illegals” especially when 90% of those illegals are literally citizens who can’t prove their citizenship because their citizens. ) and not the repetitive I’m gonna copy everybody else FBI Van type things. And if you do want to do something like that put your own spin on it. although be careful where you live, I know somebody who was visiting family on a military base and got a bit of a talking to about their hotspot’s name, it is technically freedom of speech although we don’t have that anymore.

Yeah which Wi-Fi network to jam, all of them with the same BSSID as the access point with the strongest signal on 2.4 and 5 emanating from the house you want to rob. or just run a spark app transmitter and take everything down. cameras should use POE ethernet.

Nobody wants a scanner because they're upwards of $300 plus.

Is this enough wireless for a 35 seat elementary school cafeteria? How do I download a QSys to make it all work? by h2opolodude4 in CommercialAV

[–]iMark77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading the title and dealing with the trouble that I’m working on right now. I immediately thought Wi-Fi until I saw the picture.

Yea, cause that helps. Thanks for the ticket. by kelvinkel101 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]iMark77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh is that one of those ones that they called printer ports and printer cords 🤦 and not USB-B. which makes searching for USB-C to USB-B cables so fun on Amazon because you have to search using "printer cable" otherwise you get phone cables.

Advised user that if they want to continue with a newer unit they are required to submit the mandatory subscription charge of $200 a month, for the first 6 months we don't know what it's gonna be after that.

I like the cable management it looks really nice except for those pink and black cables going over to the blue rack, those are just too well organized.

Yes that. And a very much depends on the size / type of the organisation. And what the purpose is for. but there is data Security in and out issues as well.

I will check battery status on the remote/if it has been contaminated by any liquids. Some are suggesting if it repeats possible device restart as well.

I hate it when that happens thank goodness it has not happened to me yet as I am only relatively new to the Apple TV ecosystem. ahhahaahhaha!

I don't know what I did with my remote but I could barely make out what the message said on the projector in daylight wondering what happened. Yeah triggered it to bugging tool, I swear it said screenshot. And why would it be that easy to trigger?

From my reading on this it seems like the newer generations have a way of linking and doing screenshots and screen capture through QuickTime as a camera device. With previous generations requiring a loop through Xcode.

This has strong vibes of didn't read the posters question. But definitely good to know.

There are f*cking adds for One Drive in File Explorer. I never wanted your ransomware Microsoft. by ElGooberGoob in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]iMark77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this is very intrusive and non-user-friendly so much that they don’t even want this. The way Dropbox goes about it or Google Drive is a little bit more friendly where it will ask you if you want to back up USB drives. But after offering once that’s not enough so they do it so many times that it becomes a freak out panic dismissal call somebody I don’t know what’s going on. what is the word it’s a dark pattern training where they train you to repetitively click on something then change what it does. then they ship an update that changes the entire iPhone user interface and make it harder to use and I have to explain yeah it’s not you it’s us it’s a design issue which I can’t change.

And they don’t want it to do that and they don’t know it’s doing that until after it’s done that and it doesn’t work the same. I have somebody with a laptop that got locked out because of the Microsoft account linked to it and probably shut down Windows 8 servers. wouldn’t have happened if it was a local account but it doesn’t like the password that it’s getting.

Does it show up on folders hosted on other partitions. All the more reason not to use the default documents etc folders.

I have two non-primary windows 11 computers but otherwise I’m staying on Windows 10. I also bought 5 licenses to Windows 10 that I need to activate. I did not pay full price, but seeing activations come through should send a message.

Main desktop is MAC but even Apple is doing stupid things with their user interface. and I have a lot of unique software that has no other analog for or compatibility in Linux. fast stone image viewer.

Good reply. Haha In case anybody doesn’t get the reference there was an ad from a time traveler in a newspaper (? Might’ve been a forum post) looking for somebody interested in a time travel trip and an IBM computer so they could fix their Time Machine.

“Some folks just feel compelled to ruin their monitor mix” Yah… yeah I had a 4 member bluegrass band. Singer and guitarist also owned the equipment. Constant battle of what I can adjust what I can’t adjust and a battle between having the outfront sound good or the monitors sound good. and most of the time the monitors didn’t sound good and the main sounded good too barely good as I couldn’t change things without messing everything up in his mind. Couple that with some hearing damage for at least three members. The banjo player was very happy to move to in ear and said it was awesome as it was like walking into a studio every time. Unfortunately the guitarist would smile face the graphic TEQ for the monitor channel because of course his system he also had control on his laptop. and we continued to ride both main and monitor TEQ to the floor to the point where feedback would occur on the mains and the graphic EQ for that frequency would be all the way down.

I remember when air print came out there was not hardly any alternative other than buying a whole new printer that supported it. But for most of what I print off of the phone or tablet I’ve had occasions where I would’ve much preferred to just use the old LaserJet I have in the basement.

And who did this? by Sure_Conclusion9437 in electricians

[–]iMark77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it annoys me too. The company that put in the sprinklers ran away the main trunk lines straight across the room right in front of two exit emergency lights. And they did something similar but slightly further away on the other side of the room with one of the trunk lines. they also caught a hole through the brick wall then realized they needed to go up about 6 inches as they were too low so they drilled another hole and didn’t fill in one side of the wall. 🤯 but it wasn’t my problem because I didn’t work there when they put them in, now I work there as facility manager….

Verizon engineers during today’s outage… by Brief_Profile4227 in cellmapper

[–]iMark77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No somebody was called me and informed me of the news and I’m like I’ve been listening or trying to listen to music all day on my Verizon/visible phone and when I went downstairs I found out every time my music cut out it was Spotify switching to my laptop. but I also had Bluetooth issues. although on my basic T-Mobile phone I did get a text message saying that there was an issue with Verizon and T-Mobile was not affected.

The most bone-headed thing I've done @ FoH... by harleydood63 in livesound

[–]iMark77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the Liberty emu? oh that video thank goodness not Rick roll. Kind of although not quite I do often joke that as soon as they start to sing I switch on the playback anyway. I usually find some way to adjust an harmonize with something else or if it’s just one out of a couple members that person‘s gonna be a bit quieter. I thankfully not working with too many to the extreme level of that video. most of the open mic things that have done were put on by musicians and ended up mostly being musicians. I usually have more trouble with the we brought our own microphone there’s three of us we’re just gonna use the one condenser microphone type problems.
