  • Because even if this was implemented, rich assholes will find ways around it.

    That house? Oh it’s owned by an LLC that rents it from the company I own for $1a month, I then house sit as a second job for $1 a month.

    That car? Same deal.

    My internet, home phone, electricity, water, insurance and all other home expenses? Paid for by my company as part of WFH rules for executives.

    I also have regular business meetings in Hawaii and other overseas locations for business purposes.


  • Regarding the title thing. Lots of news sites will have multiple titles that get swapped at random. The different wordings increase the click through rate. You might not be interested in title 1,2 or 3, but title 4 gets you to click.

    But as for change logs for the actual article, none that I know of. The best you normally see is something like “last edited 5 minutes ago”

    Yep, companies give “unlimited PTO” because it’s a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.

    Give them 20 days PTO/year? They’ll take around 20 a year.

    Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.








  • If a school provides a device to a student to take home there’s two possible outcomes.

    1. They provide a managed device, and with any management tool, there’s a way to invade privacy, intended or not.

    2. They provide an unmanaged device and get sued by parents for letting their"innocent snowflake" access unwanted content.

    In both instances there’s something to legitimately complain about, but I still say the first option is the better one. The problem comes with oversight and auditing on the use of those management tools.

    Not to mention that even with the second option of unmanaged devices, invasion of privacy can still occur if students are stupid enough to use the school provided accounts (Google, 365,etc)




  • No, this means the recovery key or other external unlocks have been lost, but the TPM chip is still working correctly to provide the bitlocker key during boot.

    This is not bypassing bitlocker, simply bypassing loading the bsod causing crowdstrile driver by booting into safe mode. You still need a valid administrator account so authentication is also not compromised.

    You would still need some kind of exploit to bypass the windows login screen.



  • Companies see that as a mistake. They want you on a subscription for life that they can arbitrarily change at any time.

    Profits not increasing enough for this quarter? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads.

    Profits increased amazingly this quarter? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads.

    Profits down? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads, and start adding extra paywalls to some content

    They want you to own nothing. Oh you unsubscribed? Sorry even the content you paid extra to unlock was only available while your subscription continued, you will need to start your subscription again and then pay to unlock the content again.

    A show isn’t popular enough? Better write it off, pull it from all distribution so you can claim it as a tax write off
