Lived in Australia for a couple years and those were super common in all sorts of public bathrooms. (schools, bars, libraries, clubs)

Basically just a wall covered in stainless steel, with a slope to a drain in the corner.

Picture this; we were both butt naked, bangin on the bathroom floor…

Maybe, but the homeless crackhead shambling through the lot at 3am like a zombie doesn’t give a fuck and will kick that thing as hard as he can muster.

Move it anyway; at least it will have a chance instead of painting a massive target on it with those cones.

I’ve been looking for work lately and getting told the same thing by the employment offices around me (job search assistance).

It feels so bizarre and pushy to email back after an application/interview. I showed up and did my part, the balls in their court now, I’m just waiting for a response. To reach out again seems like I’m leaning over their shoulder and asking ‘have you made a decision yet??? How about now, can I have a job now?’

They already know what I want, what I can offer, and how to reach me. What more do they need?

Cue dumbasses tossing their iphones in the toaster oven in 3… 2…

Interesting question; let me consult with my advisor for just a moment…

It’s google; their entire business is built on fucking you out of your personal data. Once they have it, they will never let go.

Until a highly scrutinized third party audit proves otherwise; I doubt even GDPR removal requests are complied with internally. They might stop telling you they have the data, but thetly won’t actually get rid of it.

Rebooting just seems like a very roundabout, slow and inefficient way to get back to that initial state you describe.

It’s exactly what the reboot process is designed to do; return you to that fully encrypted pre-boot state. There would be no purpose to implementing a second method that does the exact same thing.

Much of the data on your phone, including critical information that’s required to run the operating system and make the device function, is fully encrypted when the device is off/rebooted.

While in this locked down state, nothing can run. You don’t receive notifications, applications can’t run in the background, even just accessing the device yourself is slow as you have to wait for the whole system to decrypt and start up.

When you unlock the device for the first time; much of that data is decrypted so that it can be used, and the keys required to unlock the rest of the data get stored in memory where they can be quickly accessed and used. This also makes the device more vulnerable to attacks.

There’s always a trade off between convenience and security. The more secure a system, the less convenient it is to use.

I’m guessing the black parts slide like wax? For ‘grinding’ without a board?

I WANT OFF MR BONES WILD RIDE

Go fuck yourself with a flaming lithium dildo Tesla.

You don’t. You ship it and see what the bill is when it hits the border.

It’s part of why companies are halting shipments. You can try to guess what the upcharge(s) will be at the border(s) and pass that to the customer; but if you get it wrong (or it changes mid-transit), you’re either charging your customers excessively, driving them off, or you’re eating additional costs yourself.

All those US zebra exports…

Yeah; no video games should ever have unrestricted access to the entire system. ESPECIALLY anything with multiplayer.

Any developer that applies a rootkit (kernal anti-cheat) to their games should be shunned out of existence.

It’s incredible how well steams compatibility software (Proton) works nowadays; 99% of games I’ve tried, even when explicitly listed as ‘windows only’ work great once you force-enable compatibility.

And this shit is why your garbage OS is no longer permitted on my sysyems. Fuck off Microshaft.

Lmao. I’d only scrolled far enough to see the top half, paused and though to myself; “you could probably calculate how fast that shit was going, using the speed of gravity as a reference.”

Then I scrolled to see it had already been done…
