I mean responsible card owners pay their statement in full every month. It’s a great way to get purchase protection and cash back or reward miles. This is more like splitting payments over multiple months, and if you do that with a credit card APR you’re getting a terrible bargain.

Can I refuse MS Authenticator?

So my company decided to migrate office suite and email etc to Microsoft365. Whatever. But for 2FA login they decided to disable the option to choose “any authenticator” and force Microsoft Authenticator on the (private) phones of both employees and volunteers. Is there any valid reason why they would do this, like it’s...

ButtDrugs ,

I work in tech, and have had multiple employees claim they only have “dumb” phones for what I’m pretty sure is this exact reason. And I never blame them, just put the heat on IT to find a solution.

I’m 9 books into WoT right now (its good shit) and the overlap between the Dune series is pretty interesting to say the least. Rand -> Paul, Aes Sedai -> Benne Gesserit, Aiel -> Fremen, I mean there’s a dozen more comparisons I could make too. The lack of Turbo Pussies and chair dogs is a let down though.

Is there a picture of the phone under the seat?

It wins by a huge margin on the energy to weight ratio. In scenarios where weight doesn’t matter it’s dumb, but there is potential in places like air travel where it does make sense.

ButtDrugs ,

It’s mostly landing/takeoff records. Big airports have takeoff and landing fees and would keep records such as this for accounting and legal reasons. Being a major airport like LAX means it’s probably mostly private/commercial jets, but also plenty of small time hobbyist aviators are probably wrapped up in this, and would be the only victim here ( general aviation pilots tend to use smaller, local airports but still on occasion hit the big ones).

You apparently haven’t tried calling local government agencies in mid-size cities, or a good chunk of airlines. It’s frustrating and I welcome anything that can help.

They could mold each block, cast concrete into the mold, and use that as the base for the stones.

What was the service you could upload your own. Playlist and songs and share with friends? Last.fm? Something like that, shit was awesome.

ButtDrugs ,

They won’t profit less, line must go up. They’d charge double the difference and blame immigrants and Obama.

Or a movement to get people off whatsapp and into signal.

Honestly the 1.2 TB I’m the early 90s is an insanely impressive figure to me. I mean in that era a gigabyte seemed like an obscene amount of data, the interat ran at less than 56 kbps, and I don’t think I had a 1GB drive in my hime PC until almost the turn of the millennium. Sending and storing that much from venus is a huge accomplishment.

I know of a SaaS company that charges for their products to end users for a monthly fee. They make significantly more money selling the data of their users to 3rd parties than they do from subscriptions. Also, they figured this out after the fact, it wasn’t a core business component when they launched, but they still ended up raising the monthly fees due to “inflation”.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say I think this is done to prevent anticompetitive issues. If Google were to profit off of both its own product (youtube / yt music) and also require its competitors to pay it a % of revenue, it would potentially open them up to more anticompetitive lawsuits.

YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users (www.404media.co)

Firefox users are reporting an 'artificial' load time on YouTube videos. YouTube says it's part of a plan to make people who use adblockers "experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using."

Just for clarity, they already switched protocols (Manifest v3), they just have continued to support the old format (v2) that allows unlock origin to work. They are discontinuing support for v2 next year.

Sam probably still controls a ton of shares, so I think effectively this would give them >50% of shares as long as they are partnering.

ButtDrugs ,

Wow really? I’ve never heard of a CEO not getting options.

Fun fact about th USS Constitution, the US Navy maintains an entire white oak forest in Indiana just to use in the maintenance of this one ship.

Turok had you use the c buttons for movement and the stick to aim. It worked really well, and was functionally dual-analog too.

Google could be broken up into

  • search
  • chrome / gsuite
  • YouTube
  • gcloud
  • ads
  • android. And I’m sure more

MS

  • windows / office
  • azure
  • xbox
  • bing
    …I’m too tired to keep going lol

If those had to all survive independently and couldn’t leech off profits of the parent organization we could have true competition. Instead you just need one super-profitable arm of a company than loss-lead your way into other verticals and out-compete everyone else because you don’t have to turn a profit, at least while the competition is still clinging on.

A complete thought, but he ran out of brain cells halfway through.

But there’s so many fazolis! Which one, which one had the $3 handhobs?

ButtDrugs ,

That was a heavy movie. But definitely worth a watch.

ButtDrugs ,

I’d say season 2 at least kept close to the original premise of being a mind fuck in the park (albeit many parks this time). It wasn’t as good as the original but I don’t think it’s as bad as the other guy says. After that though the whole tone changed so much in S3 that I didn’t even bother with S4.

Sportsurge dot net. Indexes every live sporting event, even pay per view fights and stuff.

ButtDrugs ,

Hopefully it’s a positive feedback loop situation here. More nebula subscribers-> more revenue -> more creators -> more subscribers. It’s good that it’s owned and ran by some creators so hopefully they stay true to their cause here.

They were awesome, but as it common at these compnaies when the CEO driving a lot of these changes left, they brought in some grey-hair bean counter who has been slowly rolling shitty-change onto shitty change. I really loved them when I switched form Verizon around ~2015 but I’m now starting to look at other optoins. Google Fi is currently the top of my list but we’ll see.

Ask the people under Nazi Occupation and then Soviet Occupation during and following the war which one they liked more. And that’s not to defend the Nazis, fuck all Nazis, but people preferred it to the Soviets, that’s how shitty they were.

Unfortunately I don’t think any of the new electric car manufacturers are unionized. So a lot of these people would lose union gigs and end up with less pay/benefits at a non-union shop. Sire they could unionized again but that’s it’s own battle just to get back to where they started.

ButtDrugs ,

Sportsurge dot net - indexer for pretty much any live sporting event. Then I use the webvideocaster app to cast it to a roku tv.

Especially if it’s like a local craft root beer in a glass bottle. That shit slaps. Also cream soda.

Unironically Cleveland has some of the best health care in the world.

This is an incredible write up and really covered the bulk of it. I would say that Hamas should be called out a little more for their atrocities over the years, but you’re right in that they only exist due to radicilzation by way of Isreals policies. This is a case of both sides suck, and innocent people who had the bad luck of being born in the wrong place/time/religion will suffer.

ButtDrugs ,

And the way they treat the farmers who run their farms.

ButtDrugs ,

Lol I thought it was just a cheesy and campy church video and then…holy shit.

What type of bean? I’d love to try an ethical roast of it.

You must’ve missed the first part where they said they live in Texas.
