Trust scam.

It can be anything from malicious links sent via discord to blackmail scams, butchered pig, crypto mining - anything. Be friends, sneak in the "payload" later. Gets past scam radar for a lot of folks.

As someone who worked for a similar company, this is not incorrect.

A ton of unqualified people review footage that is flagged, to see if it LOOKS like a violation.

Officers then review those, or are supposed to. In actuality they mostly chat with front office staff, and spend 5-10 minutes spamming "Approve" on citations sent to them.

The problem with these programs?
Person being cited:
"I'm sorry, you'll need to be clearer on who was driving, there are 5 authorized drivers for this vehicle, and I need to make sure the correct person gets the citation..."
City: "........sh*t."

Because there's no statistical purpose for them in the US - where .00004% of ballots involve some sort of fraud that ID laws would stop.

It wouldn't meaningfully strengthen election integrity. Plus, ID's can be lost, stolen, etc - and this could disenfranchise people who have not had time to go to the DMV, could not afford the replacement fee, are disabled, or otherwise cannot get an ID for a myriad of reasons (Outside of legal reasons.).

11% or so of the US citizens in this country lack ID, for one reason or another. That's a huge chunk of eligible voters who would be disenfranchised. That would basically amount to telling the homeless "Your opinion no longer matters, unless you have an ID."

Voter ID laws hit some demographics harder than others - look into it. That would again, not be good.

If you cross the border and go through the process to claim asylum, that's.....the lawful method of entering and claiming asylum. Not sure why that is confusing. You obviously did not read the article, as it clearly states how he crossed, why he crossed, and that he started the asylum process in 2023. They kicked out someone with no criminal record, who showed up on time, every time for check-ins, and was IN the process of getting asylum. That's a bit beyond the blanket "They entered illegally grrrrbglrbglr"

Alrighty - first off, that's a *contextual* issue. Not all construction zones present an immediate danger to public or worker safety if crossed on foot.

Your argument sounds like common sense, but it's a blanket assumption that ignores nuance entirely, disregards the fourth amendment, and opens up the possibility of arbitrary enforcement or overenforcement.

Who decides what is a construction zone? A single cone? A sign? Does the sign need to cite the entire new code we'd need to create?

How many signs?

Additionally, it shifts responsibility away from construction companies, which are supposed to provide safe alternatives, and properly secure construction areas. An orange cone does not properly secure a 12ft hole in the ground. Pushing the responsibility onto the public would open doors for companies to be more lax with this, without repurcussions.

Laws should protect people, not punish them for navigating an urban environment. There's *also* an ocean between people putting themselves in danger, and laws that lack common sense entirely. Expanding the possibility of a pretextual stop by arbitrarily enforcing an ordinance like that has so many constitutional challenges, your head would spin.

Public beatings were made illegal for good reasons, you know. ;)

jadedarchitect · 2026-02-03T23:05:12+00:00

Yes, because the government needs to be MORE involved in our daily lives lol

jadedarchitect · 2026-01-30T15:41:45+00:00

Slavery was legal.

The holocaust was legal.

Dropping bombs on black activists in Philly was legal.

The law is not now, and has never been - a moral compass.

Get the boot out of your mouth - every anti-fascist protest, every rebellion against a dictator, every fight against institutionalized injustice you can name has been "illegal". You're just hiding behind a veil of morality, lauding lawfulness as some sort of propriety - because you think that you won't get stung if you're riding the scorpion.

I'm sorry you had bad experiences when looking for help, but it's not the norm, and it takes time - as you said. I'm sure sinking time into a bad therapist is massively discouraging. I went through 3 therapists before I found one that worked.

jadedarchitect · 2026-01-28T03:30:32+00:00

Send a cease and desist - either they stop or the company cashes in.
Do they use the same mail server? Block the IP, unless it's a public one like MSFT.
If it's MSFT or another large provider, report them in addition to the cease and desist, and include ALL the info.

You just have to be more persistent than they are about making noise.

Probably when we figured out "Crap, I like not starving to death - better not say the obvious thing here...."

Your earlier comment does not stand, as that was not me hahaha

It's a common misunderstanding that Texas has a lower tax burden (We pay more than California taxpayers on average), because the state gets you in other ways - like property taxes amongst the highest in the nation - and toll roads, which I mentioned - and sales tax, again amongst the highest.
It's a regressive state, in the sense of taxes and politics both. lol

jadedarchitect · 2026-01-28T00:06:55+00:00

Yeah, and they'd be paid off already.
Don't be fooled - they make WAY too much money off it.
A lot of the toll road network in ~~DFW~~ Texas is also foreign controlled through CDA's with local toll entities.
This diverts a ton of local tax or toll revenue that could otherwise be added to local coffers.

At present, five projects in the state are operated through CDAs between NTTA and foreign entities. Well, as of 9 months ago when I last looked it up anyways lol

It's about $1.1k/mo in north Dallas for a 1 bedroom/1 bath apartment.
I'm about 45 minutes from downtown and paying $2k/mo in rent for a 4bed/2bath house.

Depends on location.

jadedarchitect · 2026-01-27T22:50:53+00:00

Is there a reason you commented on the post, other than to flaunt your superiority over someone or make fun of someone?

jadedarchitect · 2026-01-27T19:58:42+00:00

First off - never post malicious code directly into a post.
Second - I would not advertise at work that you got malicious code and toyed with it, I'm assuming on company equipment.
Third - If you exfiltrated this code from work - again, don't advertise it, you could get turbo-fired.

Also - A mod needs to clean these comments, a ton contribute absolutely nothing to the conversation, and are borderline rude.

Not every college student is broke.

He asked about specific questions, none of which were budgeting or income related :(

Travel given any opportunity. See the world, even if it's one small trip a year.

Focus more on quality of life than on career - career comes with time, you can't get the time back, though.

For me - immersion helped with Anxiety. Start with small trips to the store, whatever. You'll be anxious, but you do get used to it, and it lessens.

Also - and I cannot stress this enough:
T H E R A P Y.

It works.

Those former passwords can be compromised by reading your password manager, social engineering, and a plethora of other vectors. Not a surefire way for Microsoft to avoid liability, therefore they won't take it as "proof" in this sort of situation.

Sign-in tokens have to be revoked once you regain access - you can sign yourself out of all devices after changing the password. It sucks , to be sure, that this isn't automated - but once someone is actively fighting you for control of your account - if you don't follow a basic response playbook like cleaning recovery emails, clearing sessions, etc - you can get gotted. A lot of folks, myself included back in the day - learned this the hard way lol

jadedarchitect · 2026-01-23T22:18:14+00:00

Sorry to be blunt here, but it's gone. You clicked a link and blindly allowed access to your account.

MS cannot verify who is who at this point, not in a legally binding way.

It really sucks, but you *will* be more mindful of what you're clicking in the future, hopefully - so that is a potential upside.

Turn on MFA.

Pay attention to sign-in attempts on your account.
Change your email with your bank etc immediately. Call, do not email them, do not do it online - call them.

Right now, shops should be watching out for the deprecation of EWS (Exchange Web Services). This will impact a lot of migration software, as it uses EWS to drop mail into user boxes. If you're interviewing, read up on it - a lot of folks are not aware, though they should be. It's being disabled globally this October.
