Only options available to me on the work computer are Chrome and Edge. FWIW, I use Edge, but still I understand the choice between the two.

Good point, I forgot about that news

I mean they’re just resellers of the big guys’ network. I think Mint is a reseller of T-Mobile. Verizon has its own branded reseller labels. It all goes through the big guys’ network anyways so could they even claim that?

Haha I’m not stupid I know the IRS doesn’t accept gift cards.

The Microsoft tech support guys have been very helpful with my Linux laptop though, and I feel that I can trust them.

I mean I’ve definitely seen signs at checkout lines at grocery stores. I’ve also been asked when buying large amounts of gift cards what my reason for buying them was (in a very kind way, I would add).

Huge news

Is it possible to get biometrics working on a flathub app?

I just like keeping stuff plugged into one side so that I can rest the edge of the other side against my leg without having to worry about bending devices

Are they vouchers? I don’t remember from the article, but I’d assume it’s just the employees give Facebook their Uber account info and whenever it goes down to $0, FB automatically reloads the account. I’d imagine it would be way too much effort to pass out physical cards to everyone.

Your point about only retaining the worst employees is valid though

Well in this case, it’s $25 that wasn’t going to be spent that now does get spent. If you do that for a year it’s $7k additional. I don’t think it’s fireable, but I can at least understand from a bean counter perspective how that’s enough.

The only thing that I could imagine would make the pooling look really bad is if one or more people are not going to use their credit and so they “pool” it in with someone else who does want to use it, and the latter employee now has a $50/$75/etc. credit.

Staff are given daily allowances of $20 for breakfast, $25 for lunch, and $25 for dinner, with meal credits issued in $25 increments.

Hot damn this is absolutely wild. Even if you only look at lunch, that’s ~$6k/person. If you add in breakfast and dinner that’s ~$17k/person.

It could be your browser / system that is struggling to show it. When I use my work computer and Microsoft edge, I don’t think I’ve ever had a situation where the QR code didn’t work. When I use flatpak’d Firefox on my Linux laptop, I experience more trouble, probably because of the sandboxing.

I find their write ups to be fascinating.

I think this would likely be most troublesome on some of the OG internet users that got a whole freaking /8, /10, or /12 or something like AT&T or universities. Up until very recently, and possibly even to the present, these organizations had such large IPv4 space, that there was no need to do NAT, and each device had a publicly addressable IP.

unless you’re sending megabytes of text or something

That’s exactly what someone malicious would do though, either in a single password submission or DOS via the password maximum repeatedly. IMO there is no functional security difference between a 64 and a 256 character password, so the NIST 64 character max is reasonable.

You can also just run it when you need it rather than having to add an extension. Just add a bookmarklet with the code here and just click it when you encounter a problematic website.

It’ll reduce your attack surface while still getting the job done.

What is the first name of your first best friend?

eoY&Z9m4LNRDY!Gzdd%q98LYiBi8Nq

Oh old eoY&Z9m4LNRDY!Gzdd%q98LYiBi8Nq and I go way back! I met eoY&Z9m4LNRDY!Gzdd%q98LYiBi8Nq in Pre-K and we’ve been inseparable ever since.

It is quite annoying if they’re a service that makes you read aloud your security questions to phone reps to prove your identity. One of my retirement accounts requires that and I have to sigh and read out the full string. I’ve changed it since to an all lowercase, 20 digit string as a compromise.

Or any of the similar tools listed here, based on personal preferences! I currently use Chezmoi, but I like that they help you discover alternatives.

Definitely RuneScape that did it for me

I just default to opening in a new tab because of shitty UX like this
