Thank you. I listen to that when I need motivation. Especially “No time for caution”

I believe you’re definitely right about that. The whole AR thing has so many potential uses.

I wish some company that wasn’t a giant asshole was working on these type devices. I really think AR is a neat idea especially for someone like me. I have a terrible time remembering people’s names likely related to my ADHD. I mean people that I have worked with for years. It’s just like my brain freezes up. And forgetting words. And a hodgepodge of other little mental quirks.

Having a little bubble appear over their head with name and maybe other customizable info would be greatly useful. Of course an always on display that pops up random notifications directly in my field of view would not have any deleterious side effects… no none whatsoever. 😋

I swear sometime he really seems like he is personally trying to kill twitter/x/xitter whatever it’s called.

Well that’s interesting for sure. But I’m white and not even Indian. I just have a lot of Indian/Hindu friends and wanted to learn more about their culture. I knew the symbol existed for much longer than Nazi’s even though it’s not even really the same symbol. But to a bunch of let’s just say less educated rural Americans it looks exactly the same.

I’ve had to explain to so many people that “No they don’t have Nazi symbols in their yards because of Halloween”. And I’m atheist and not even Hindu.

I’m 37 I’m not old…

I was looking for Saddam Hussein in the tomatoes.

Yeah what’s with all the Saddam Hussein memes? I don’t get it.

Pretty sure this is not accidental. They want to imply that urgency. I consciously know this as well and I still get the same reaction you did.

I just solved this by adding it to overseerr 🤣 … so thanks marketing to remind me. In all seriousness though I do have a bunch of free passes from when my boy worked in a theater so I still might see it on the big screen.

I think that’s just the start date, not the only date.

Strangely enough Shawshank Redemption

Make me look like Mr Clean.

Consequently I have not been to a hair salon in 30 years, a razor in the shower is all I need. Although one day I would like to have the whole hot towel shaved head treatment at a professional barber.

This is brilliant.

Dude get a towel or something….

Class of 1989. I knew it.

Do you know how many times I have killed my own network at home and I control EVERYTHING!! I’m the only wildcard…. Of course I have ADHD and documentation is not my strong suit 🤣

I work in university IT so I have some experience here. Some schools are better than others but in general providing IT services for students is like trying to wrangle a herd of starving feral cats who are all in heat.

First of all I have never seen 802.1x implemented (Ethernet authentication) in the wild that wasn’t almost immediately removed. It’s a shitty protocol that’s terrible to debug. I totally get why they restrict APs … my god if every student had one it would be a pain. It would be like standing in a crowded room with everyone shouting and you’re trying to pick out one conversation 20 ft away.

My guess is you’re basically in a situation like my son was at ECU. It’s likely not really a university dorm but closely affiliated hence the reason of a third party. Or the central university IT is abysmal and can’t be bothered. Either way the only reason to use 802.1X is because they think it’s more secure, when in fact it’s way more trouble than it’s worth. You can do the same thing by controlling downstream routing or MAC filtering. The ECU “dorm” did that and it wasn’t much better honestly. You had to go into a website to add your MAC address to get access to the WiFi. Firstly how do you do that when your computer can’t talk to anything. Chicken and egg problem. Secondly for the ones who figured out how to do that using your phone, good luck getting a history major to figure what even what a MAC address was.

My suggestion is don’t bother. If they’ve implemented 802.1x they’re a micromanaged IT and will catch you eventually. I’d also guess they have completely overtaxed their egress traffic and your speeds are abysmal.

On a related note, when you graduate never ever rent from an apt complex that generously process WiFi or Ethernet. It will almost always suck, they will have no one to provide adequate tech support, and they are just using it as another revenue stream.

Sorry I don’t have better advice but if they control the network there isn’t really much you can do.

If you’re not within a few years of my age I’ll eat my shoe.

What about the fourth type of person that just chuckles silently when stupid people get what they deserve?
