Not the parent commentor, but I do something very similar with Tasker. Whenever my phone disconnects from one of a list of Bluetooth connections (like my watch or my car) or even if it just gets a solid jolt to the accelerometers, it goes into lockdown mode. This means the screen gets locked and biometrics can no longer be used to unlock it, requiring the entering of a PIN code to unlock.

2fa: No issues, as I can easily migrate to a different device.

How exactly? This ability would seem to negate any benefit or security of multi-factor authentication.

The comment I left t here no longer relevant because parent and child revised their comments after the fact. This is not a healthy way to have a discourse people.

Is your abuse of the ellipsis and dashes supposed to be ironic? Isn’t that a LLM tell?

I’m not even sure what the (‘phrase’) construct is even meant to imply, but it’s wild. Your abuse of punctuation in general feels like a machine trying to convince us it’s human or a machine transcribing a human’s stream of consciousness.

Who is out there wiping their ass with %100 ethanol?

Since you seem to be comfortable citing the codes, what about the space between those studs? I thought it had to be a little less than the 2 feet we seem to see here.

It’s been the Microsoft Business plan since practically the beginning.

It didn’t come together like a granny knot, which I understand to be just a square knot with the orientation of one half flipped. The knot I learned wrapped the free end around the base of a loop and pulling a section of that free end through it to create another loop. It was unbalanced for the same reasons as a granny knot though and probably very similar.

The knot I tie now is basically a square knot where the “top” half is formed from two loops. Admittedly the knot I tie now, would have been much more difficult for toddler fingers than the knot I learned as that toddler.

Hudson Hawk was forgotten for a reason, but I think it’s time for 90s style farcical romps to make a comeback. Everybody’s taking their movies too seriously these days.

This is what the enemies of American democracy want you to think so that you stop voting, stop fighting, stop caring, and just submit.

I bought SUSE Linux once upon a time. It was a physical CD and the packaging that I paid for. Maybe a little support was bundled, probably not. That was a time when the internet was slow for most and not an option for others, wifi wasn’t ubiquitous (and if it existed, good luck getting the proper drivers loaded without internet), live distributions weren’t really a thing yet, booting from usb was finicky and unreliable, and the install CDs would have the entire OS and basically all the software you could want to install bundled. These would have been the days before the fall of Napster and the rise in other “Linux ISO sharing tools”. Ubuntu would even mail you like a half dozen physical CDs and some stickers just for asking and promising to share them in your community.

There’s nothing wrong with buying the physical things or paying for support. That’s not what this meme is showing though.

Bunny ears or a variant thereof is usually more stable anyway. I taught myself a new better way to tie my shoes at 30 something. Now I no longer need to double knot themand they always come undone easily by pulling the ends. Previously, knotting them the way my parents taught, my knots always came undone and the loops didn’t lay flat on either side (getting skewed to up and down my foot/leg).

You’ve got the critical thinking skills and empathy of a cop. How do the boots taste?

I had a similar network appliance “nest”. I got a rolling kitchen island from IKEA because it has shelves that encourage ventilation and it also fit my printer, UPC, and HTPC/server. Now I have one network appliance cart. Everything is always a few inches off of the floor. All the cords are contained and tied off where necessary to keep the cart’s contents from spilling out in the way. When it’s time to clean around it, it can be wheeled away from the wall or corner. The only cords still connected to the wall are one for power and one for Internet. I can even disconnect it entirely from the wall briefly without too much fuss, just a short time without internet but with the wifi intact.

The cart would be overkill in your case, but the idea of it would still have value. You could probably fit everything you’ve got into an empty milk crate. That crate could be on wheels and most crates are pretty well ventilated.

Whenever I’m forced to use windows, show file extensions and show hidden files.
