When you pay a lot, the support is a lot better…

Now get the hell off my ~~lawn~~ LAN.

Another library in the area has ethernet ports but they are just decoys (dead ports). I asked the librarian what the problem is, why they are disabled, and whether we can turn them on.

They’re not decoys, they’re just not patched. Because we don’t generally patch anything that’s not going to be in use. Also because some rando will probably attempt to plug their nasty ass laptop into it, which is also why we block port intrusions.

It is the only approved method for data destruction for the several banks and government agencies I support. If they trust it, I trust it.

I have checked a couple of times out of curiosity, after a secure erase the drive is as clean as if it had been DBANed. Sometimes things are standards because they work properly.

Before license keys it was physical hardware. It’s the exact same thing, you just don’t have an object you can hold onto any longer.

If you treat a gun like your keys or wallet then you shouldn’t be carrying it.

I don’t leave my keys or wallet unattended. Is that something people do?

I’ve worked for both individual owners and corporate owners, and it really really depends on the franchise. Chick-Fil-A is like owning a money printer as an individual owner. Pizza Hut is nearly impossible for even a large company to run profitably.

My last job was with the largest operator of both Pizza Hut and Wendy’s in the US, they filed for bankruptcy two months after I quit because Pizza Hut was such a loss that even the Wendy’s profits could not cover the losses.

I currently work with a bunch of CFA operators and no one owns more than two stores and they all seem to do quite well for themselves while paying their employees pretty damn good wages.

They offer other options for Microsoft accounts. Using it as a normal TOTP app is the same as any other Authenticator app.

It’s most likely the number matching requirement that the other person doesn’t like, or their employer has a policy that’s annoying.

You absolutely can, it’s just not easy.

They’ll have to get a new SAS controller unless the RAID controller has an HBA mode. Running ZFS under a RAID controller is the best way to lose all of your data.

ZFS is wonderful but it takes quite a bit of planning and specialized knowledge to implement properly. Your fear of a failed RAID controller is a bit much, too. I’ve had to deal with a single controller failure in 30 years of IT (and I’ve done warranty work for all of the major OEMs in corporate IT for most of those 30 years)

No edge, tang is welded on, the pommel is attached without a handle on it, there is no edge, and even if there was, it’s cheap ass stainless.

What part of anything on this post points to this being a functional sword? Pretty obviously meant to be an art piece.
