My work was using some MS-based account system, but I don't know if this was stock or something they modified. When you had to change your password, it would tell you if your new password didn't meet the password requirements, as usual. What it wouldn't tell you was what those requirements were...
So yeah, the requirements the system won't tell you about would have to be the worst one i came across...
The gold is a nice touch.
You helped me narrow it down. I expect Adrian Thompson's research from the 90s, referenced in this Wikipedia article is what you're thinking of.
The particular example was getting clock-like behavior without a clock. It had an incomplete circuit that used RF reflection or something very similar to simulate a clock. Of course, removing this dead-end circuit broke the design.
Yes, resistive heat is expensive, but that's only part of what makes heat pumps in cars more effective. They don't just heat your cabin, they heat your battery so you maintain range while it's cold out. Here's an article with more details and some pretty infographics.
This would be a reason for me to start using Mastodon. I currently don't, and never used Twitter, because the value i got wasn't worth the pain. Mastodon looks like it would be less pain, but there isn't any real value drawing me in. If my country or province spun up instances with verified accounts and media releases, I'd be very interested. If they made their own crappy app, thanks, I'll pass.
"Why do none of these capitalist businesses want to talk about how less rampant capitalism is better for the common man?"
I'm trying to think of anything that Trump did that I would classify as socialism and I'm coming up empty. One could argue about the COVID vaccine but that only fits if you squint and look at it from the right angle.
Chocolate chips are easier.
Yeah, these Fossify apps are forks of a previously open set of apps where the original developer did something that is generally frowned upon (i don't remember the details) and don't seem to have been given the attention I think they need since. It's unfortunate. I'll have to give the Material Files app a look and see if it's better.
Yeah, they wouldn't need to worry about bears, but I doubt the panic would allow them the time to contemplate the phrase, "No single drop thinks it's to blame for the flood" very much.
Here's had an Iranian general killed in his own country. It's all posturing until it isn't, which is a big part of the problem. Whish is pointless rambling and which is a legitimate threat?
