It was my sister’s birthday and I was over her place helping set everything up for the night party and then she said “dad’s not picking up the phone”

I had the gut feeling then and there something had happened and indeed he had had a hearth attack that morning

You are aware you can just replace the drives right?

You’re asking a guy who got offended the cops didn’t take a random suitcase with clothes and tape as evidence of a non existent case enough to call up a detective who probably just took the time to take the thing to a dumpster somewhere

The Amazon equivalent of my country gives somewhat similar estimates, but they always end up showing up at 22:30 or straight up call me at such hours telling me they’ll come by tomorrow morning

If you’re in a rough part of town martial arts will only serve you to better run away. While disarm techniques are taught in a lot of martial arts if the teacher doesn’t put emphasis on them being a last option then you shouldn’t go there. As skilled as you might get a blade or a gun is not something you can engage in hand to hand fighting really and even if you manage to disarm the attacker you’ll probably get stabbed or take a bullet for your troubles.

Martial arts are more useful as a good sport and for scaring away high school bullies. Life is not a movie, the rules of engagement are incapacitate and run away

Stop thinking and assuming and talk that shit out with her to understand why it really worries her. If you’re not honest with each other then that shit isn’t gonna work man

My current car was bought 2 km away from my house when I was 13, then it was sold to someone 40km away that happened to be the next door neighbour of my aunt before he sold it to an used car dealer who I bought it from.

I figured all of this out after buying it and it really felt like a small world

You can literally just download and use it, do you expect a free software not to have some sort of paid option in it’s site? All the paid stuff is for business use, if you’re just using it for yourself they don’t ask for payment info nor do they bother you to pay at any moment

I use it for free in android Linux and windows sooo no, I’m not sure we’re you’re getting that info from

I switched over to anydesk when TeamViewer started enshitifying itself, haven’t looked back it works great on all my devices, even my phone (as in I can control my PC from my phone I use it a ton)

Setup is super easy, just make sure to set up proper passwords for it, specially if you use public wifi

Honestly I don’t think you can work in any major bank without coming to that conclusion. The whole system is a mess of dinosaurs refusing to get up to date

Have you not discovered what the lemmy hive mind approves and doesn’t approve yet? Or are you like me and just don’t give a fuck

I was gonna ask why they didn’t use DHCP and then I remembered half the stuff in my home network doesn’t either.

Still have half of the IP range available for DHCP tho

I hope op Isnt planning something nefarious and asking security advice in lemmy beforehand

Inb4 they drop support for “lifetime” in a couple of years and tell you to pay for a monthly subscription

Usually the credit card provider own policy. And I can assure you if you do nothing even tho it’s a prepaid it’ll probably go into negative balance and they’ll send you to collections.

Empathy

They’re also useful if you are doing weird stuff with your PC and you need to run a connector into or out of your pc

Is that a knife you’re holding behind you?

Jokes aside this is a philosophical question, would knowing the answer let you change it? Would it be different if you didn’t know the answer? How do you know that knowing the answer isn’t part of the chain of events that leads to your death in such a situation?

What if the person offering was just scamming you and you lived thinking you’d die in 6 months but then it turns out it doesn’t happen?

It’d be funny if there was a version of windows for kiosks and displays that was just a debloated windows 11
