It doesn’t help that plenty of places still follow old IT guidelines that are bad, so they all get lumped together. E.g. change password every 45 days, can’t BT the last 10, must have 4 characters different, and we don’t have a password manager.

I should probably learn how BI works, but I’m mostly torturing excel to do things it was never intended to do.

Also I do a lot of lookups and xlookup will slow my sheet down.

There’s no way they’re using xlookup at year 7. You can pry my index match from my cold dead hands.

I’ve used Kobo and Ebooks.com, and import into my Calibre library. I know some authors have a way to purchase directly on their site.

It absolutely does. https://plugins.calibre-ebook.com/ there is a KFX input plugin. Also, if using an older version of kindle for PC you can batch download your whole library and import to Calibre.

Yeah, but when signal complies they give date you made your account and when you last accessed. And that’s it. Probably much less than the others give.

US specific and not sure for how much longer, but the courts have generally held that you can’t be forced to give up a password to a phone. It’s covered under the 5th (and 4th) amendments. That being said, most stock phones are vulnerable to cellubrite cracks.

Sports is a big one that comes to mind. Or competition shows people want to live vote for.

I also legitimately loved this movie. Wonderful balance of satire and comedy.

I’m a pilot on Lemmy! But I’m pretty sure I’m not facing jail time right now.

Thanks for the response! Definitely fair that the OP had the assumption of America-centric or at least credit card specific.

As to the scam, the unfortunate reality is that the price is already higher to account for fees, and it makes no difference if you pay cash or card. So Americans have the choice to either pay cash or pay card with cash back, even if the price is the same. Also there are better protections in the states for credit card purchases than debit card purchases, so there’s an advantage there as well.

I’m curious about what you mean by credit card scam, in this context. Care to elaborate?

I also self host FreshRSS. Was super easy to setup. I don’t expose it, so when away from home I use wire guard to connect to my home network.

Isn’t Syncthing for Android getting sundowned?

It’s often covered under obscenity and sex offender laws, though.

I’ve usually seen NMN used for no middle name.

Yeah, obviously it’s not the point, but I would love a ban on car data collection instead.

Is it really that shocking that a woman wouldn’t want to be called girl or child? Sure, boy is still used. But in your post you used man, not boy. I’d say an easy rule is if you’d use the word man in a sentence, don’t use the word girl.

Not always

Ships absolutely practice turning everything off.

Except when you’re walking on a road, you should walk on the opposite side of vehicle traffic.
