taking holiday days for the sake of having to take them is the worst
it's like having a weekend where no one else is free
We get floating holidays we have to schedule like vacation hours, excepting they cannot be saved year-to-year. But also we have strict guidelines on how many can take off at a time so I end up burning holidays "just because" while simultaneously missing out many of the common school-out holidays because everybody wants them.
yeah for a while it used to be cheaper to build your own PC
not really any more
I imagine the market is way smaller than it was.
Yeah. Plus warranties are better when you have one number to call.
though I'd much rather deal with Corsair/Asus/Intel/Nvidia directly for warranty stuff than with HP or whoever
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
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
synd do you know if the iphone encrypts some or all of its RAM?
the main ram never touches the auth process, there is encrypted RAM in the secure enclave.
I hope that covers the memory location for $incorrectPasswordAttempts
pretty sure everything from number of attempts to what was tried is stored there (if they store it at all).
It was part of what tripped up the FBI - they couldn't trick the device into thinking only 1 attempt was made because the memory was inaccessible on the auth process.
Yeah.
I want to know how the tools they ended up using work. They got leaked but I can't find any breakdowns on the route they use to hack in.
I mean, what was interesting about most of those leaks is that Apple said that the overwhelming majority of the exploits in those leaked docs were patched out a long time ago... it is entirely possible the solution that worked on the san bernadino phone wouldn't work any more anyways.
This is your daily reminder to not put off updating your personal phones or tablets or desktops to the newest shit when it comes out unless you are locked into your current version for compatibility reasons - gotta keep patching those holes.
yeah I knew that phone was pretty old, I'm just curious on what method they used

Thing about building your own PC - if you want to use it as a game machine - is that you typically don't have to spend that much to get something that is roughly on par with current consoles, and you can try and keep in mind an upgrade path so two or three years down the line you'll be in an even better place
If you want to get The Absolute Best Right Now then, yeah, it's going to be expensive
(Man that whole Apple/FBI case really annoyed me. Both sides making stupid arguments in bad faith.)

I suppose.... I got an extended warranty on this one though as they were trying to get money out of me. Well jokes on them. They had to upgrade my video card last time and I am about ready to get a new cpu out of them soon heh.

Can't you get a 1060 for 250ish,a good i5 for the same, then spend a hundred ish each on a psu and ram and mobo and be running max settings on most stuff these days? I haven't hit anything my i74770k and 1060 can't max out.
yeah but that's still $800 before case, monitor, and OS.
edit: plus storage.
Storage is also cheap but you can repurpose most of that too from older builds. Cases are dirt cheap if you don't want fancy. Os is probably free since you probably already have some version of Windows. And this is for current top of the line. You can go way cheaper and still max out most stuff. Get a older processor for instance. Save a hundred bucks or so.
It's still way cheaper to build your own than buy a pre-built. Unless you count hours of labor at this point.

I imagine the market is way smaller than it was.
It's still cheaper to build ("build" being like order it through ibuypower and have them assemble and ship it) than going to like best buy because the store bought models skimp and put in garbage ram or weak PSUs that make it hard to upgrade later.
it's always cheaper to DIY
they need to make a profit
It's the rent vs buy thing where people will scream at each other than all things being equal, rent is cheaper because ?????
no, profit is baked into that god damned equation
Occasionally places like ibuypower will run coupons and deals to get rid of old stock, but unless you're doing 100% comparison on all components, chances are they're skimping out somewhere. Typically you'll see it in the Motherboard, RAM, or PSU, and occasionally get a stupidly non-expandable case.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
(Man that whole Apple/FBI case really annoyed me. Both sides making stupid arguments in bad faith.)
yes, but Apple was very much arguing in bad faith for the benefit of the consumer as opposed to the FBI who was trying to say that the government having the keys to the castle is good for everyone...
Like, fuck the entire argument the government was making and thumbs up to the broader tech world telling the gov't to pound sand during that

For real though before I die I'm going to try dynamite fishing once.
"Here lies well some of not chuck, he didn't realize how close the before I die and dynamite fishing were, much like he didn't notice how close the open flame and the dynamite was."
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

if you're tech savvy enough to go for it you look at that $50 mobo and just can't pull the trigger, you gotta get the $100 one

Building your own PC these is too easy anyway. The last one I built worked perfectly on the first boot, which is stupid.
Kids these days. It should be at least a day, preferably a whole weekend of maddening heartache and despair wondering why your PC is crashing after 13 minutes but when you turn the case on its side, it seems to work?
can you feel the struggle within?

Dunno who here is interested in White Wolf stuff, but the current Bundle of Holding (https://bundleofholding.com/ ) is Changeling: The Lost, with the 1E World of Darkness book. Not sure what edition or if it's oWoD or nWoD or NEW new WoD or WoD Classic or whatever flavor it is. But check it out if you're into that goth shit.
changeling isn't goth shit >:[
But also probably best to hold off since the new edition is coming out soon and it's probably pretty good (but these books are also pretty good and some of the additional rulebooks are actually pretty useful+describe neat alternative contracts and also more goblin contracts)
edit: (this is nWoD but not new new WoD ie no god machine)
Man, all the goths played it at my FLGS. This is what they get into when Vampires are too lamestream, and they want to play a game ironically. "LOL Fairies, but fairy tales are actually some dark shit, yo."
Bundle of Holding is like Humble Bundle. You buy it when you explicitly want to purchase old games at discount prices with some money going to charity. This isn't to appeal to people who are going to buy the latest and greatest RPG books.

If so I own two pairs of shoes.

And they've spent the last year in the woods and they're on my feet in the office right now.

I somehow still work here.

you bet your sweet liberal ass I did.
I got made fun of for a bit for that, and was very confused because it's normal in CA to see that
I love non lethal methods that just spread it to someone else. It's the most american thing.

I'm saving that dynamite for a special occasion.

Anytime I've heard anything about Jontron it reinforces my already low opinion of him.

I fail to see why I should care about him at all tbh

This is the correct approach. For some reason people thing random you tubers and people shouting on Twitter have more influence than they actually do.

honestly I have to re-google JonTron like every few months when y'all bring him up.
I'd watch that

so lend me a hand
