My shower isn’t even connected to the hot water supply, it’s on the cold water supply and then just has a heating element capable of raising the temperature of the water running through it to a temperature slightly cooler than that of core of the sun.

The only problem with electric showers is they have to have their own circuit breaker, which makes them difficult to install unless you’re going to rip half the house apart anyway.

It’ll just be that a lot of password systems insist on a number in a special character.

There was a post on here a while ago about the most popular four digit PIN numbers. I think the top five were

1234
7890
1212
1111
And 1701

We’re are all so original

For the longest time the admin password for the router at work was PasswordReset.124, the useless penetration testers didn’t even pick up on it.

I’ve changed it to something actually random and then, following established industry standard security practises, somebody else has gone and written it on a post-it note, and stuck it to the router. So we’re all fine now.

I’m extremely tempted to “hack” the network and bring it down only to be the hero that brings it back up after a few hours of non-productivity. But I feel like if they found out that might be a firing offence.

Remind me of this book I own

Looks like it’s from formula 1, which is more of an emotional hothouse than your average high school.

So apparently the way it works is that you either have no money at all, or a Ferrari for every day of the week, and there’s no possible in between?

What if I just have top of the range Mercedes money, will I be happy then?

Wait does the house only have windows on the front?

It helps if you live in a country where the ISPs don’t have a monopoly. They are forced to provide high speed internet to pretty much everyone just in case the competition does it first.

I’m thinking of naming my kid Jared in order to ensure they grew up to be a successful but morally bankrupt person. Saves me from having to get a pension.

I don’t think I’ve ever met a nice Jared in my life.

I give it 6 months until they forget their password or something and their entire empire collapses until they can get someone out from IT to fix it, but first they have to log a ticket or else no work is being done.

Last month they broke audio drivers, so USB connected speakers were not being recognised unless they had third-party drivers. The native windows drivers just stopped recognising them as audio devices, and just listed them as Unknown Device.

Windows could see them, it had no idea what they were, or what to do with them. So you had no audio.

The only solution was to continuously restart until eventually it randomly worked.

They’re just generic error messages though. If you actually want to know what went wrong you have to go into the error log, which hopefully you actually have access to. If it just blue screens on boot your SOL unless you’re in a corporate environment with external logs.

Some people just live the most insane lives.

My mother used to be a teacher and at one point in her class back in the 80s she had four kids who all had the same father, but different mothers, the largest age difference between the youngest and the oldest was 5 months. He wasn’t even attractive he looked like a drug addict, I don’t know what the women saw in him.

He wasn’t in the picture for any of them and had to pay alimony for four different kids, to four different mothers. He couldn’t afford this because he was barely employed himself, and so he faked his own death. He managed to get fake passports and everything.

Can you draw three lines perpendicular to each other?

If you ask me what my job is and then you ask for clarification because you don’t know what that job is, those are two separate questions.

Just because a person does not understand a job does not mean that it’s a BS job. By that logic a cyber security analyst is a BS job. But you would sure as hell would notice if all of them went away.

It’s like this with a blue screen. You used to tell you what went wrong but now it just shows a :-( Which is pathetic.

Not that they’re going to fix any of them though.

I’m confused about how any of this can be cloudflares fault. That’s like blaming the electricity supplier because someone is using that electricity to grow weed.
