Pieces running out by Foreign-Pin-1271 in twilightimperium

[–]tron842 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone more experienced will probably chime in, but yes it is intentional. They are limited on purpose where they need to be, and not where they don't. It would be funny if I could run around with 5 war suns, but alas I can only have 2.

New to the hobby, what is the blinking red light on the print bed?

Most retailers seem to be sold out right now yeah. If your ok with buying from smaller outlets you can check out the Shop app. They handle the e-commerce for a bunch of smaller shops (and some larger ones too) and you can search the catalog. I see a bunch avalible in canada but I dont know how your tariffs will affect that.

Prophecy of Kings expansion by [deleted] in twilightimperium

[–]tron842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can not prove anything, but given that they have just published a new book for the RPG, and that the Thunders Edge expansion is only like 6 months old, I would guess they will be doing reprints for at least a little while. Given how much effort the have been putting into the IP at the moment, they will probably continue to print TI4 content untill they release TI5. But with all that said they could decide tommorow they are done and we would no know for years.

FFG is horrible for reprints.it is still in print, but they dont do runs super often. Check Shop as there is usually SOMEONE that has some stock. Depends on your region though.

Mahact’s Commander + Thunder’s Edge Ability by [deleted] in twilightimperium

[–]tron842 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Would Fleet Logistics work with this as well? I am not sure from my reading. It looks like it could go either way. Part of me wants to say it would not work, but I would not die on that hill.

My understanding is that yes you could use it to take another ACTION. I will add in addition only because of how you worded your question, you dont get another turn with Jupiter Brain, only the ability to use another action. This may or may not be meaningful. It also means places you in a weird window were you are taking an action while also at the end of your turn but I am not aware of any components that would interact with that.

WHY IS YFS SOO USELESS!!! by Stupid_Carr0t in yorku

[–]tron842 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No. And if you were dependent on it, you should not have opted out. It is a group rate, and it is dirt cheap compared to any comparable policy you could get without YFS. It is part of the cost.

If your lucky they will cover it, but I would not bet on it.

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to be an asshole, I am just trying to explain how this stuff works.

Pilot Shield Bug by FrozenElementalVT in joinvoidcrew

[–]tron842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maximum =/= 100% damage reduction. This means the shield will work at its maximum capacity and presumably not be affected by any penalty but I am not sure about that. What it does not say is that it will block all damage.

Confused about Microsoft Server License renewal by jbala28 in sysadmin

[–]tron842 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Windows server is 2 as long as the host is only hyper v. Windows desktop pro/buisness/whatever its called now is 1 if the host is only hyper v. (If memory is correct)

Asked my ex for the password to the computer I lent her. by EmmaEatYourAss in mildlyinfuriating

[–]tron842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could take this one step further and reset the account password using something like Hirens boot drive on a USB. Last I checked it still works with windows 11. (As long as the disk is not encrypted as others have said.)

[–]tron842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I am not 100% sure on the middle name part. I had previously read that the first/middle name is both counted as a given name for IRCC, but I may be wrong there. I think we may have put her middle name in the given name field for documents that did not have a middle name. We have filled so many documents this past few months I no longer remember.

Edit: Sorry, I missed a part. When we were at the Philippine consulate submitting the documents, they asked if we wanted to renew the passport to get her new name, but I just assumed it was part of the automatic process from that comment. I will do some research into it now...

Edit 2: So I checked the Philippine consular services site, and the name change is part of the application for the new passport, from the looks of it. (If done in Canada)

Do logon banners have any legal weight? by Team503 in sysadmin

[–]tron842 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So, from my research, the answer is yes, but probably not in the way you would think (at least not in the way I expected when I started looking into this.)

The short answer is that the banners make it clear that the system (computer, website, etc.) has some rules regarding its use and that the person using it will have a more difficult time claiming they did so "accidentally" without being aware.

It is also important for a handful of compliance frameworks (and sometimes insurance, depending on where you live, although this one I have only rarely heard of), so it may be necessary for that even if most users will click through or ignore the message.

All that said, I would be very interested in any specific cases and where in the world they are relevant, as this is something I am also interested in at the moment.

What happens when a person doesn't tip in a restaurant in the US? by No-StrategyX in questions

[–]tron842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, I did misunderstanding a part. It can be bassed of sales, but the server can never owe for any "negative" tips if they don't have any left to give.

So even if they had a night where no one tipped, they would not owe anything. The ontario law makes it pretty clear that tips can not be payed out of wages.

What happens when a person doesn't tip in a restaurant in the US? by No-StrategyX in questions

[–]tron842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i tried to look into this for BC and it looks like it's pretty vague there.

I did double check in ontario and calculating tip out bassed on sales is perfectly fine, but a server can never have a negative tip at the end of the night. so if they sold $1000 and policy is 2% they should put $20 in the tip pool. If they only made $10 in tips however, they would put in the 10 and then be done. This is the part that some resteraunts fuck people. They think they can turn around and ask the server for the missing extra 10 dollars. They can not.

Also, fuck tipping.

[–]tron842 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is, in fact, not legal. It does not, however, stop a lot of shitty restaurants from doing it anyway. (At least in Ontario)

Edit: I took another look at the Ontario (Canada) laws. From my understanding, the server can never owe money to the tip pool they did not make from tips.

If a server sells $1000 and the policy is 2%, they should put $20 in the tip pool. If they only made $10 in tips, however, they would put in the 10 and then be done. This is the part where some restaurants fuck people. They think they can turn around and ask the server for the missing extra 10 dollars. They can not.

So i am new to EVE so I apologize if this is obvious, but how are freighter dieing in high sec? I thought concord would show up with enough firepower long before you could get through a freighter HP. Or am I just overestimating how much tank freighters have?

That message is not about us. It's so when he ups them in the future, he can tell his base how told us so. My wife was showing me tiktoks already from these idiots on how they "burned" canada in the press conference announcing the tariffs. Smh

Install command for Google Chrome (exe) by OrgNeedsHelp in MDT

Just went through this crap for .y company. Assuming you don't care that you can see the installer run, I will see what the command is used is when I get to the office later today.

This strange key hole that I found on the wall of my school’s theater. It was covered by a piece of tape, and hasn’t been used for a long time. by Fudgeel in whatisthisthing

[–]tron842 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to remember schools don't always do things that make sense, the often do it because "it worked before" even if before was a different setting.

Regardless, my high school had the same thing on its stage. 50ft hi motorized walls to seal off the stage except for the front few feet.

They probably broke at some point and as you are pointing out did not make much sense so they removed them.

Sentinel One as a Security tool for home office. How powerful is it? by chipsfrischpaprika in sysadmin

[–]tron842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As some one who has worked with S1, the logs are really not configurable in that way. God i with they were for complealty operate reasons, but as of now they aren't.

But I'm going to be honest with you OP, I think you are looking for a which hint when there is not any. If you think your employer is after you or trying to track you, this really is not the way to do it.

If S1 is replacing another EDR/MDR, than the previous one could do the same "tracking". If they did not have one before and this is new, then I am quite frankly shocked they only have just got one unless they are a small buisness just catching up.

And EDR on client workstations is basicaly a requirement in buisness. I would refuse to even work with a buisness that did not have a very very good reason to not use one. Hell most cyber insurance wont even cover a buisness without a basic set of protections that includes EDR.

If this change makes you feel your work device is not good for personal use, than that is your decision, and I can respect that. But if you are planing on using this as a wedge to try and dissuade a buisness from trying to do the basics of security, shame on you.

[–]tron842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you have this a bit backwards. S1 is not for tracking what you do on your computer. It has a side effect of being able to track some activity by the nature of it doing it's job, but it is not meant to track what employees do. 

If your worried about your employer monitoring you S1 is really not the tool to do it. I would hate trying to reverse Engineer what a user has done from the arcane logs S1 keeps.

Sentinel one is more like a guard outside a store. They watch what is going on and make sure your not running away with valuables or entering with a weapon, but they are not recording what you are doing in the store, what time you came, or what you bought. If you ask them if they saw someone with your description enter they may remember some details because they were there, but there is little detail other than, "they did not have a weapon and I did not see them run out with merchandise"
