Did you check for registry keys too?
Procmon is the shit.
- Comment on Warning 1 week ago:
I dunno. That sounds like a Sturgeon’s General Warning.
- Comment on No one showed up to his party 1 week ago:
Oh man. I’ve had this kind of thing. I started inviting people I knew wouldn’t come. I wouldn’t feel bad when they didn’t. But I’d occasionally get a couple that I didn’t expect and had a good time.
My girlfriend hates hearing no though so she only invites those she knows will say yes. It’s a bit of a bummer. Because I always enjoy the surprise of someone I didn’t expect.
- Comment on I'll just wait for my doorbell to ring, thanks. 1 week ago:
That’s if the label generation is automated. Small shops will still have that be a manual process when they pack and weigh it for the label.
- Comment on I'll just wait for my doorbell to ring, thanks. 1 week ago:
Tracking numbers don’t get created until a shipping label is printed. Maybe give it a little bit.
- Comment on I've noticed a lot of UK job applications use the American MM/DD/YYYY date format and some also say "resume" instead of CV. Does that annoy you if you're British? 1 week ago:
Sure. But we also say “September 11th” when referring to the world trade center attacks.
4th of July is the exception in American English.
- Comment on I have to be knowledgeable about a particular superstition in order to sign in to access a government form 2 weeks ago:
My guess is that it’s asking for you to confirm your date of birth, to a minimal degree of accuracy without actually having to reveal your date of birth.
I kind of like the idea. Most people know what their star sign is, whether they believe in it or not. So they will be able to answer quickly and correctly. Those that need to look it up it might need to be more critical of the login for.
- Comment on When you die, what do you want to be done with you? 2 weeks ago:
Used as a prop for a Halloween haunted house.
- Comment on BACK IT UP 3 weeks ago:
In the bio hacking world, yea. There are reprogrammable RFID implants that you can get. They are rather large though and kind of suck when trying to use. Check out dangerousthings.com
- Comment on I want a name for this 4 weeks ago:
I could do this, reading out loud even. And not know what the fuck I just read for the last 10 minutes.
And yes, I have ADHD.
- Comment on Habits of Insects 5 weeks ago:
Besides all that manual labor requires math. A ton requires geometry.
You think plumbing, framing, electrical or any trade is done without measuring and quite complicated math?
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 1 month ago:
Black and white as VR
- Comment on Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"? 1 month ago:
Whichever path it takes. It will only go in a single path unless you have some incestuous relationships. And if that happens and multiple routes work, it doesn’t matter which one you take.
- Comment on Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"? 1 month ago:
So if you look at a family tree, the bloodline is the direct order from person a to person b, with everyone in the middle. It doesn’t include everyone else that isn’t in that direct path.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
People are crazy. Feeling threatened by telling someone “hey, you didn’t vote last time. Please make your voice heard by voting” is wearing your persecution complex on your sleeve.
Fragile fucks.
- Comment on Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster 2 months ago:
She makes no mention of the hand covering up the other actresses face either.
I keep staring at the original, trying to figure out what she’s trying to communicate. I’ve seen the Broadway musical. I know the story. The vacant expression just doesn’t fit. It doesn’t convey any emotion I associate with the character.
- Comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour 2 months ago:
What benefit would streaming plane models have?
Landscape and real time weather data makes sense. Things are changing and it doesnt make sense to have high res textures of the entire planet on users PCs. Or are you just meaning on demand download of the skin?
- Comment on Phonebooks 2 months ago:
Residential listings were “white pages” and businesses were “yellow pages.”
Yes, they were big, printed on very thin paper, with small typeface.
- Comment on Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash? 2 months ago:
People around me put things out early with the expectation and hope someone will come and take it.
- Comment on Amazon's system marked an item I returned a year ago as not received and charged me for this return, but the chat bot already knew they had received it. 2 months ago:
I ordered something like shampoo. It opened in the box and got everywhere. Amazon wanted me to return it for a refund. The box was soaked. No way I could have returned it.
- Comment on Did Biden ever release Trump's Resolute Letter? 2 months ago:
He still claims he won. If he won, why would he write a letter?
Narcissistic prick.
- Comment on No 'Sims 5' Coming as EA Updates Franchise With Multiplayer 2 months ago:
Hell, I still have the CD installer. And I think the soundtrack CD.
I did enjoy the puzzle houses people would make though.
- Comment on Picture 3 months ago:
When a student goes to school, the school becomes in loco parentis and the student doesn’t have protection from school officials. Children, on campus, general do not have protection for free speech, protection from unreasonable searches or seizures, or really any of their rights.
The school, acting as parents, can restrict their speech, search their bags, and confiscate contraband.
- Comment on ‘Who dreams this crap up?’: Kevin O'Leary slams new rule that allows employees to ignore their bosses after hours 3 months ago:
Yea. If I remember my fires correctly, this one also has doors that opened into the theater so as mobs of people pushed to get out, the doors jammed and couldn’t be opened. It directly led to the regulation for outward swinging egress doors and “crash” hardware. Which are those bars on exit doors so in an emergency people can just crash into them and they open.
- Comment on ‘Who dreams this crap up?’: Kevin O'Leary slams new rule that allows employees to ignore their bosses after hours 3 months ago:
As someone else pointed out. The triangle shirtwaist factory fire.
But as another example of businesses doing shitty things that led to people dying. The Iroquois Theater fire in Chicago. They didn’t want poor people changing seats to nicer ones so locked the doors to those areas when the play started and they bribed people to not finish their fire safety equipment but still get approved to open. Hundreds died.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 3 months ago:
$1000 is likely small claims court. At least where I was, no lawyers are allowed for small claims so the landlord would have to come to deal with it himself or a representative of the payment company.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
If any of my reports told me they booked an appointment through the health care we provided and it was during the work day I’d just say okay, mark it out on your calendar as busy so I don’t bug you or expect anything from you during that time. If they need to account for all their time like some roles, bill it as admin time.
- Comment on How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way? 3 months ago:
External locus of control.
Bad things in someone’s life is not their fault, but the fault of whatever scapegoat.
Can’t get a girlfriend? It’s women’s fault.
Can’t get a job? It’s illegal immigrants.
Can’t afford to do the things you like? It’s the government taking too many taxes.
Whatever problem someone has, they are looking to blame someone rather than make any changes in their own life.
- Comment on Was Elvis Presley a pedo? 3 months ago:
For “She was just 17” Paul McCartney was only 21 when that song came out and was dating a 17 year old then. Might have written it when he was 20 and the age of consent in Britain in that time was 16. That’s only 3 or 4 years age difference. I don’t get weird vibes from that. The Beatles were young when they started.
Neil Sedaka’s “Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen” is one that gives me the strangest vibes.
- Comment on Why do radio stations all seem to go on commercial at the same time? 4 months ago:
I can’t say. I think I have uv-5r that can and some that can’t.
You’ll have to check the listing you got it from. Maybe even go to an unused ham frequency and see what happens when you press the PTT button.
