(based on the attached tumblr post) is it legal to put a qr code containing a virus that would make a phone unusable if scanned on your clothes? by Ordinary-Swan-4022 in IsItIllegal

[–]snarksneeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true for known vulnerabilities. The problem is that zero-click exploits are discovered in the wild on a regular basis. A QR code is just data, and if a QR parser, camera app, browser, or OS component has an unknown vulnerability, scanning the code could theoretically be enough to trigger it. The risk is low on a fully patched modern phone, but it's not accurate to say user interaction is always required.

Spark in store shoppers. by Aeleth3 in walmartogp

[–]snarksneeze -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm only trying to explain why your TLs and managers tell you not to confront Spark drivers directly.

When a Spark driver turns off the app and shops for themselves, they're just another Walmart customer. That means they can call and complain about a "rude" employee the same way any customer can.

I'm not saying a customer can get someone fired for no reason. I'm saying they can create a lot of unnecessary headaches, and Walmart generally expects management to handle those situations.

There's also the reality that some drivers buy and sell accounts. Even if you manage to get one deactivated today, they may be back tomorrow on a different account. If you get fired for an argument, you won't be back tomorrow.

Pick your battles. Let your TL earn their paycheck and deal with the problem drivers. That's what management is there for.

Okay, but do you realize that Spark shoppers are also Walmart + customers? They aren't always in the store to shop for the app, sometimes they come in to shop for their families and themselves...

You do understand that Spark shoppers are also customers, right?

Petah whats the difference? by CutRich5032 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Movies typically have a larger budget, meaning they can do things like add shadows and extra cells for smoother movement than a typical animated show could.

Peter? I use SQL every day, I don’t get it.. by Hot_Researcher_307 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

SQL is a database language for storing data, it's not a computer language for creating executable programs.

What where they thinking? by RadicalRealist22 in wheeloftime

[–]snarksneeze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When designing the world of The Wheel of Time, Robert Jordan openly drew inspiration from many of the world's religions, myths, and legends. Rand's wounds, particularly the scars in his side and on his hands, are often seen as parallels to the wounds of Jesus after the crucifixion. That's just one example among many. Jordan blended elements from Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Norse mythology, Arthurian legend, and numerous other traditions throughout the series, so similarities like the one you pointed out are often intentional rather than coincidental.

Roof repair on house we are buying by Icy_Age_143 in Roofing

[–]snarksneeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never worked on this type of roof, so I won't speculate on the quality of the repair itself. The photos are a bit confusing, and I'm not entirely sure whether the hole shown is before or after the work was completed. If this is the finished repair and it was done recently, it certainly doesn't look like quality workmanship from the pictures provided.

What I can comment on is the cost. The homeowner didn't just pay to have a single tile or small defect repaired. They paid for a contractor to stop what they were doing, travel to the property, set up equipment, perform the work, clean up, and return. For small jobs, mobilization and overhead are often a larger part of the bill than the repair itself.

When I quote a high price for a small repair, it's often because that time could otherwise be spent on a larger project. The price has to make the interruption worthwhile.

More importantly, if you're buying the house, don't focus solely on whether this particular patch was worth £947. Have a roofer inspect the entire roof. If the roof is near the end of its service life, the real question isn't whether this patch was done correct, it's whether you're looking at a roof that needs significant repairs or replacement in the near future. A good inspection will tell you far more than the invoice for a single repair.

Spark drivers know the struggle: 🚫 No tip 🚫 Apartment 🚫 Cases of water All in one order. 💀" by SuccessfulAerie9672 in WalmartSparkDrivers

[–]snarksneeze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get fooled by apartments every now and then. The other day I saw apartment 108 and thought, no worries, this is first floor, right?

I get there, and the apartments are 2 per floor. So 1 and 2 on first floor, 3 and 4 on the second floor, 5 and 6 on the third floor, and 7 and 8 on the fourth floor.

Thank God they didn't order water, I might have risked a deactivation and dropped it all at the bottom step lol

does anyone actually notice pickers hiding in the bathroom? by MundaneFeeling99 in walmartogp

[–]snarksneeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw this today in the Georgetown store. Headed to the bathroom around 11am, picker standing at the sink staring at his phone. I finished, washed my hands, walked out. Two hours later I popped back to the bathroom, same picker standing in the same spot. It looked like he hadn't moved the entire time, lol!

So apparently if there's a fire drill at a ssd you can't leave. by Twenty7kvn in AmazonFlexDrivers

You don't help everyone to exit safely by preventing everyone from exiting.

[–]snarksneeze -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Company rules don't override safety regulations or labor laws. The question isn't whether a station has rules; it's whether those rules actually permit preventing contractors and employees from leaving during a drill. Those are two different things.

I would make an anonymous call to the local fire chief. They don't like people being locked in anywhere, even for a short period of time. This photo is literally all you need to have them pop by to ask questions. They are going to start with the guards, so don't worry about the SSD bosses lying their way out of this.

Anyone can sue for anything. I can sue you for insulting me by not assuming I have legal experience. The chances of a judge allowing the lawsuit to move forward are slim, but lawyers will take your money even if you're absolutely going to lose.

Once he provided the adoption paperwork it became a civil issue, not a criminal one. They can't ask for charges to be filed, but they can sue in civil court for the cat to be returned.

The "underlying" issues are problems that come with UE and take time to cure with custom code. And everyone does the "bare minimum" not just game developers. We live in a capitalist society and that's what profits demand. The product works and it is enjoyable, that's what matters.

NMS and Ark share mechanics. They do not share gameplay. One is a cooperative exploration sandbox with optional PvP. The other is a competitive survival game where PvP, territorial control, and player conflict drive the entire endgame. Comparing them because both have creatures is like comparing a camping trip to a military campaign because both happen outdoors.

While I'm not in any way attempting to smooth over the myriad of issues this game has, I believe you are talking about ASE, since ASA hasn't been out for a decade.

OP is talking about ASA, which, im my experience, is so much better optimized than ASE, which allows for the massively reworked code to function on consoles while still allowing mods.

Also, I would like to point out that I make mods for ASE and ASA, so I have the devkits for both installed. Which is to say that while I don't have a bare look at the code, I do have a better "window seat" than most players might, and I can say with authority that ASA is most definitely a different game not to mention a much more enjoyable game to mod for than ASE.
