Sounds like when someone calls me and whatever it is suddenly works when I do it. I always tell them it just got spooked back in line by the IT guy.

Since when has the opposition needed convincing arguments to drag things out? They’ll come up with whatever bullshit they want just to keep stuff from moving forward until they get the ball again.

that wouldn’t stop someone from dropping a “media player” on the drive with your logo on it that’s actually malware. People unfamiliar with how it’s supposed to work would plug that in and run it without even thinking about it. I guess you could have the machine format the drive every time it comes back and have it test for counterfeits to prevent that though now that I think about it more.

Allowing people to take rewritable media home and return it sounds like it would open the door for malware.

I found one the other day but I don’t even recall what it was. I almost never have any problems.

I don’t even bother checking. I tell them I’m going to do something on my side that might cause their computer to reboot and then reboot it remotely.

If they were cheaper I’d use them for archival purposes. They work well as cold storage.

Some people don’t have time to learn new workflows at their job. Their workload is maxed out with the workflow they currently have and while their boss may understand they need time to learn a new workflow, the bean counters up the chain won’t. Maybe their replacements will get trained on the changes you made but the current ones are fucked.

On the plus side Spains teenagers are about to become extremely computer literate.

Only for weak euro-arteries.

Personally I don’t think these people should be having private conversations with minors at all. It’s fucking weird and stupid and just leaves them open to this kind of allegations.

Everyone knows the line for inappropriate behavior is criminal charges being filed.

The first upgrade I ever made to a PC was having to get a sound card to run Morrowind.

The point is to make an alternative product no one can own/ruin.

Well at least there’s a way in… Lot’s of trouble could be save by simply having a mechanical key.

To get in from outside obviously needs the vehicle to unlock, so it has to be jump started.

and how do you get to the battery to do that if you can’t get inside?

Imagine if most new houses came with “Alexa” switches and electric plugs.

Oh boy a bunch of added expense to get the light switches swapped out with ones that don’t spy on me.

Things you will need to operate while driving your car shouldn’t have touch screen controls.
