  I feel like work passwords are just always the worst security you will ever see, which sucks because you would think they would be the most important security.

  I had a job once that you could put a password in and it was across multiple intranet services

  Some services wanted the password case sensitive. Some wanted the password either as all caps or all lowercase.

  So anytime you put your password in, you essentially had to put the password in three times unless you knew how that service had it.

  Documentation would have please put password in as all caps or please have password completely lowercase

  Honestly, there was an unwritten rule that when you put your password in, you just did it in all caps. That way you only had to try two different passwords instead of three different passwords.if you couldn’t remember what service it was.

  Very concerning for comp sec. Fortune 100 company as well.

  At least that’s better than when the site accepts the password but doesn’t actually let you log in with it.

  My old college was like that with their SSO. It would accept any type of password you threw at it. But then you just wouldn’t be able to sign into anything, so you’d be forced to reset your password again, but it doesn’t tell you that’s what the problem is, so you just have to sorta guess what it was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit Reposting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people are here because they don’t want to be on reddit, either due to issues with the platform or otherwise. But that doesn’t mean the content posted is bad, nor does it mean that it shouldn’t be shared. By that logic any external links or content shouldn’t be allowed on lemmy either. At the end of the day, lemmy is a federated link aggregator. That is it’s purpose to allow for aggregation of content. You can take that entire argument and apply any other external website and it would be equally valid. Even moreso in this community where the majority of it is reposted content from other platforms and artist pages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What character is the king of plot armor?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yea, but Luffy asks for it constantly like the dude’s entire stitche is “what is the most absurd way of trying to brute force my way” with little to no thinking involved at all. Most other shonens at least have the main protag make a battle plan or actually stop two seconds to think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation boss says single-player games won’t come to PC going forward | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean… For this to actually matter Sony would have to release a decent game for the exclustivity. The last decent one in my eyes was Ragnarok, and I never even finished it.

  I have a PS5. It hasen’t been turned on in almost 2 years. I have no reason to. I won’t lose any sleep over this decision.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What character is the king of plot armor?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Luffy- One Piece. He should have died SO LONG AGO. Hands down. There is zero reason he should have made it to the time skip, and it only gets worse plot armor wise from there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation Plus price increase announced for new customers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, I intentionally restricted my post to the base tiers as gamepass has a similar schema since they both show similar featuresets at higher tiers.

  I made a basic breakdown:

  1. Basic
     • ps essentials: 11$/m
       • multiplayer
       • shareplay
       • save backups
       • discounts on store
       • monthly games selection valid for duration of subscription
     • gamepass essential: 10$/m
       • multiplayer
       • free game catalog: 123 [81 of which supported on Windows as well]
       • cloud gaming: 87
       • in game benefits in select first party games
       • rewards program
  2. Mid Tier
     • PS Extra: 15$/m
       • previous tier
       • free game catalog: 409
       • ubisoft classics program
     • Gamepass Premium: 15$/m
       • previous tier
       • free game catalog: 572 [395 of which is supported on windows]
       • cloud gaming: 412
       • First party games promised to be on game catalog within 1 year of release (Call of Duty Excluded)
       • semi-priority cloud play queue
       • 2x reward points
  3. Best Tier
     • PS Premium: 18$/m
       • previous tier
       • classics catalog: 163
       • game trial catalog: 260
       • sony pictures catalog (a movie/media streaming service)
       • cloud streaming
     • Gamepass Ultimate: 23$/m
       • previous tier
       • free game catalog: 909 [587 of which are supported on windows]
       • cloud gaming: 555
       • day 1 first party releases on free game catalog (Call of Duty excluded)
       • Free EA Play: 182 games + select DLC
       • ubisoft classics: 120
       • fortnite crew
       • priority cloud gaming
       • 4x reward points

  This was just a somewhat quick list of info found online when comparing the two. I can see each tier being useful to someone, but I personally find that Sonys offerings for PS+ don’t stack to Gamepass, and that’s from someone who has been loyal sony fan since the PS1.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation Plus price increase announced for new customers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  With every one of these price increases, my chances of subscripting to PS plus drops lower and lower.

  They don’t even give a competitive service when compared to Xbox… Like don’t get me wrong I think Gamepass is a scam as well but it’s less of a scam than PS plus… 11$/m vs gamepasses 10$/m and gamepass gives a handful of games, cloud backups, cloud gaming and multiplayer… PS plus just gives multiplayer and save backups and a couple free games a month that require ongoing subscription to play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My son job lowered their hiring wage instead of raising it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not just meth heads. If you live in a really populated area, Walmart is actually super picky.

  Their HR departments are basically brainless. The computer makes all the choices

  when you apply to Walmart you drop into a 3 colored queue, red yellow/orange green

  • green: worked their before no issue
  • yellow/orange: no job experience or left in bad terms not violently or a way that harmed the company
  • red: you stole something or you had massive red flags when they searched you

  They’re heavily pushed towards hiring greens, and if forced to, they’ll hire yellows, and they’re not allowed to hire reds outside of excruciating circumstances.

  I had a friend who had no criminal record whatsoever, but due to someone being disabled and needing care in their household, they had never really held a job into their late 20’s, The Walmart that was closest to her house wouldn’t touch her with a ten-foot pole after repeated attempts, but that was in a massively populated area. However, the one that was in her old town, which was significantly lower population, called first try (but sadly that was an accidental application didn’t notice the town defaulted back)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My son job lowered their hiring wage instead of raising it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Walmart starts at like 21 an hour for team leads as well, at least around here. So that’s not a bad idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So Lemmy, what are your thoughts on Mixtape?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I havent heard of the game, or anything about it. It must not have run in my circles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The half-assed implementations of battery charge limits...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, I don’t think mobile devices such as cell phones or tablets should be lumped into the same category as personal computers such as laptops and desktops.

  Like, sure, they are technically still computers, but they are treated more as always on assistants.

  Personally, I leave my cell phone, tablet, and smartwatch on 24-7. Only restarting when I have an issue, it needs an update, or the battery dies. However, my desktop, Laptop, TVs and game consoles are turned off as soon as I’m done using them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit Reposting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I firmly agree with everything you said there, and I want to add that if the main reasoning for wanting to remove the rule is “fuck Reddit” , then that means that this concept itself is a picture example of a mildly infuriating post.

  And by that I mean, It’s mildly infuriating when someone just blanket decides that because they hate something, that everything about that thing is bad and nobody else should be able to see it. It’s almost never a black and white concept.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit Reposting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, if it’s organic, and by that I mean not automated, and someone went to Reddit, saw the post, and then reposted it Here, I don’t have any issue with that.

  Personally, I don’t use Reddit, so any mildly infuriating post that gets posted from there to here is a post that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

  2 As long as I’m not forced to go to Reddit to interact with it, which so far out of what I’ve seen in this community I haven’t had to because it’s usually the picture and the post description as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is finally entirely dead to me⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They did that about a year or so after I blocked reddit via DNS. No idea why, I don’t use a VPN for reddit, and I hadent given them any traffic outside the once and awhile checking a tech support post, but something about my network triggered it.

  No big loss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Truck is Stupid Big⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  my aunt used to seek out parking garages that either were proactive at ticketing vehicles that were sticking way out like that, or had a lowered roof at the front to prevent larger vehicles in the first place. She said she was surprised that they existed but said it made actually navigating it so much easier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there seach engines that dont depend Google and Bing, if not what are the barriers to entry of new search engines?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes there is.

  The biggest barriers is data/context. The biggest being the primary index.

  Google has a lot of web scrapers/indexers and also offers hosting platforms. They also partner with big hosting companies for index trees to be able to easily show web sites reliably AND have been around for years finding it.

  This is actually one of the primary damages that AI is currently doing to the internet field, because not only is it decreasing web traffic for web hosts due to AI summaries and searches, but it’s also forcing web hosts to have to block or restrict indexers. Because these same agents are abusing the user agent system to try to pretend that it’s a normal indexer, so web hosts are faced with either having their platform spammed so many bot traffic that it takes their website down, or block indexers, which means that they don’t appear in web searches. It’s a lose lose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dominos doesn’t have to be a government entity to have a moral compass and not provide food to companies that are intending to put their workers at risk by delivering to locations that the same establishment has decided isn’t worth the risk to their own employees. There is proper ways of doing this that doesn’t involve risking people who don’t have the ability to easily say no without it effecting their contractor or employment status.

  I agree with your statement that they(doordash) /could/ give that alert, but they don’t. The closest to my knowledge that they use is a weather/crime reporting service that only triggers with major crime events(such as a mass shooting) or major weather events (and even that is iffy). Instead they do the opposite: they ding the drivers account if you deny or reject the order, and if you do it too many times they terminate you as a contractor. There is no system in place to allow for an opt out like you describe. If they did that would be amazing and make it a slightly better solution. My opinion is that since doordash knowingly doesn’t provide that system, Domino’s as being the source should step in. Honestly, you could hot swap Dominos with any establishment that DD works with and my opinion would be the same. As it would if you hot swapped DD with any of the other food delivery services because to my knowledge those don’t offer any way for drivers to opt out either, it’s against their self interests.

  being said, I thank you for your responses to it, I do understand your POV and what you are saying. I just respectfully disagree and I don’t see that changing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For people who distrust police / the legal system: If you ran a small bussiness and need to hire people, and someone has a conviction but they claim innocence, do you hire them?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the public indecency one is rough. I don’t know if I would hire that individual.

  The issue in that situation isn’t the fact that he was caught for it, but the fact that he was willing to do it in public in the first place, so the risk factor there would be will this individual potentially try to do the same at my establishment? I think I wouod hire them if I was in a non-public style buisness such as office work, but if I was in a very public buisness like retail I would pass.

  As for the last example with the fraud. In this case, it sounds like the person did do it. But if the person had not done it but was convicted of it, I would need some pretty compelling evidence saying the other direction. Because having someone who’s known to be a fraudster, managing anything with a company is not a good idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Firstly, I don’t think the statement of I can’t do anything about it is valid here. Those chains could for sure offer a safe way of delivering it to those areas, but they choose not to because of cost, which is somewhat understandable but still bleh to me.

  The food deserts, as you described, is going to happen regardless of if Domino’s allows DoorDash to deliver to bad areas or not.As at the end of the day, Dominos decides where they open and how they operate and that’s not changing any time soon.

  I can’t wrap my head around any situation where, logically, you should be sending someone in to a risk area that’s known for people getting mugged slash robbed because someone lives there. especially for the wages that those delivery drivers make on both Domino’s and DoorDash.

  There are solutions to the problem you listed there and allowing a company to pawn everything off to a company that isn’t putting the proper safety measures in for their drivers is not the solution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, don’t get me wrong. DoorDash is as much at fault as Domino’s would be in this scenario.

  I just don’t see the comparison of oh, it’s not safe enough for my company to send people there, so let me allow another company to send people there because they are willing to give me money for it.

  If it’s not safe to go to, then neither company should be sending there, and anyone that’s assisting in allowing that to go there would be equally at fault.

  it sucks for the people who live in that area, but I don’t see where it makes logical sense to cause additional human risk for someone else’s situation for the intent of increasing profits. It’s morbid.

  the core issue is exactly like what you just mentioned. DoorDash could do that, however they don’t, they even actively penalize their drivers for refusing routes that go to specific areas. if DD isn’t going to do it, then that responsibility morally falls on dominoes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For people who distrust police / the legal system: If you ran a small bussiness and need to hire people, and someone has a conviction but they claim innocence, do you hire them?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It would matter extremely of what they were convicted of because that is ultimately a risk game.

  If the guy was convicted of something related to financial(like fraud, theft etc) or hostility(murder, assault etc) I wouldn’t take the chance, otherwise I wouldn’t really care.

  Remember, it doesn’t matter whether he did or not. it’s what society as a whole believes he did. If it’s a risk or liability to the company then it’s a no, but if it’s something that’s like a “oh well OK then” such as an old drug issue, IP violation, disorderly conduct etc, it’s whatever. If the public isn’t going to think differently of the company, and the financial stability of the company is not at risk, then go for it.

  Although this also is assuming the guy has credentials, that would be worthwhile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I did just edit it to make my point a little clearer, which changed quite a bit of it. But to answer your question, if that area is an unsafe area, yes 1000%

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yea, instead they are providing a company food so they can deliver there, that makes it so much better /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yea DD does that with stores that don’t opt out of it. It’s dumb, while you do have the ability to actually partner with them(and in doing so you gain the ability to control when and who places/gets orders), if you don’t have an active partnership, they just send it via the dashers name and give the dasher a temp card to use for the transaction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Respectfully, that last part is pretty fucked up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon started hiding ratings for some products⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  yea i wonder if that’s the case.

  There are a few laws regarding fake reviews and review suppression in the states as well. So I’m almost wondering if it was the classic case of they started implementing something and then legal was like, yo, cut that shit out. That’s not allowed.

  But I still feel like it might be something to do with the push for removing explicit content from minors that every platform seems to be doing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I still bypass Microsoft account creation when reinstalling windows through the "reset this PC" option?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on the system, some of them once connected to a network won’t allow shift-f10 to open a prompt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I still bypass Microsoft account creation when reinstalling windows through the "reset this PC" option?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to reiterate the importance of the “pull the network cable” part. If you fail to unplug the cable before the setup wizard detects that there is the possibility of a network connection, on some systems it will actually prevent you from making a local account altogether, as it will force you to connect to a network which will skip the shift-f10 step.

  We had this issue setting up demo models on laptops for awhile, if you didn’t disable the wifi adapter before it saw there was networks available(even if they were password protected) it would require a second factory reset to even get to the point where it would let you setup a local account.
