at one point I realized our work laptops were never backed up and so I immediately moved all my stuff to onedrive because goddamn losing all my project notes
between that and local admin for everyone, though, I wonder why machines aren't pwned more often
maybe the sysadmin folk just distrust everything... but I can reach most machines on any port
they might already be and nobody knows about it
I mean, ransomware is high-visibility but malware that works just by siphoning off data and hoping you capture a credit card or something, or even just an exploit that sits on a PC and waits around for a command & control server to tell it what to do, can live on a PC for months or even years before anybody notices it
that's why when somebody says "I don't bother with antivirus*, I just don't go to sketchy websites and I've never had a problem" I kinda roll my eyes. That's like saying "I've never been tested for an STD, and I don't have sex with prostitutes, and I'm just fine."
* But this is "not even wrong" because classic antivirus doesn't do much to protect against the types of malware we're talking about. If the argument is "I don't bother with antivirus because most antivirus is 5-10 years behind the current threat landscape" then I can at least respect that.
I just roll with Windows Defender because of exactly what you said... all the available AV solutions are trash.
You can twiddle with the format descriptors or just use -Property on commands like Format-List as in the following example.

One time a friend told me his tablet was running like shit and asked me to fix it. When he handed it to me and I unlocked it it was still on hardcore porn. Made me think back on the bachelor life...

Rubbish against 0-day but for most people that's not a big deal anymore. Maybe if everyone was still visiting warez sites constantly or p2p like it's 1998 again.

You know you are going through game "blahs" when you are eyeballing Dwarf Fortress.
time to play EXAPUNKS

I get the name thing really well. I have had many handles over the years. Met more than a few people in real life with not my name.
College:
Ayanami_Rei- It was my joke name when I snuck into the CS team's server to watch folks and not say who I was. I left it on playing CS on the dorm servers that ended up being my friends group and roommates. They called me Rei for 2 years. Even though we had an actual roommate named Ray. But he was called Pally because his name was Paladin on CS.
Secalam-This was my DAoC paladin. Still talk to folks from DAoC and my guild. And they call me Sec or Seaclam when being cheeky. Has a nostalgic feel. It was a good name.
WoW:
Grana-My first level 60 and the guy I helped organize and run RP events with on Silver Hand. I was actually pretty well known. I helped run some of the major forums. It was weird when people would randomly talk to you because you were known.
Loga-Folks know this name if they play WoW with me now. My Orc warrior. Been called this forever and ever. Actually got into my long time guild which was an RP guild (guild chat was IC, there was an OOC channel too). Loga was/is not a smart Orc but was fun to RP.
PA/WoW:
Mazzyx-My second warlock and the name here. Has nothing to do with Mazzy Star. It was me mashing the random generator plus adding letters to make it a Forsaken name. I think I respond to it faster than my normal name. At least people spell it right verse my actual name.
Names do have power and it is interesting how they do interact with ones sense of self. I mean my other main names were KillingDeath (I was in 5th grade) and Remmek which I still name characters because I like it. Oh and Raptormech is a really old one.

It's like every song I want to hear is on youtube these days, and I just buy my games through steam preferably through sales. Most of my peeps who used to be all torrents and stuff are doing the same.
I got The Long Dark and was immediately bored. Same with whatever that city builder/survivalist game was.
Just meh.
Not enough skill trees or stat calculating.
The Long Dark is interesting but I think it doesn't quite gel. The world is beautiful, but getting good basically just requires you to memorize the map. It wants to be a realistic survival simulation but it is unrealistically punishing: you need to build a fire but you can't use a chair for firewood or use your axe on a dilapidated building, you have to layer clothing to keep from freezing to death but clothing is only assignable to a certain layer (you can't wear two shirts), you starve to death strangely fast, and of course animals that would normally leave you alone become aggressive to you at a distance (though supposedly there's an in-universe explanation for that? I dunno).
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

EU4 news: Well, the second war of the anti-Milanese coalition has ended in my utter ruin. My reach exceeded my grasp and after annexing rome and converting to protestantism, suddenly the entire continent turned against me. I was so close to forming a new nation... but it is not to be. The dream of Italy has slipped from my grasp for at least another century and everyone in Europe now hates me. I could keep playing but I don't really feel like it anymore.
WHICH MEANS: What country should I play as next? I'm open to basically any suggestions (but nothing too hard I'm still a newbie, only 37 hours in)
It’s the intermission, so I can give you the hot news about this new movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.
It’s pretty good.
How about them Nazis

fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
and then I went and washed my hands.
What if someone were to go in and close all your tabs and then erase your history
once you stopped screaming, what then? What then?
Twiddle

Gmail, Twitch, Here, Netflix, Podcast, Youtube
The only data storage device you can trust is yourself
Which is why I have multiple microSD cards subcutaneously implanted all over my body
Fantastic!

This is a weird version of memento
Memento for the 21st century
And for people who like to perform self surgery >_>

At first I thought "Here" was the name of a website
(I mean, it is a website, but not one you'd visit on a regular basis.)

I feel like there's more rewarding stuff you can take the time to do

How about them Nazis
time to rebuild i guess
it probably wouldn't take long for me to get back to full operation, but some sites would almost certainly be lost forever
deleting the history is a real dick move
Gonna play so much card game.
