Chill bro, we didn't need another reason not to visit. We got it.

Why? The one giving the order on the top is ultimately responsible. Insubordination against king Donald of Orange the First will probably get you court martialed and hanged...

I thought UK was the first country? They introduced it in November 2024 already.

Have you read the original? It's half book, half bible study. There are modern copies with most of the religious context removed or shortened which are great.

Yeah the Netflix show was a good watch, agree. Didn't even try the tencent one, I saw it coming...

Yeah agree. I was living in China when it was recommended to me since it was super popular with the locals, but really couldn't get through.

I did enjoy the Western series though despite the mixed reviews, they reduced all the political clutter to the bare minimum to provide historical context, so maybe that's something to check out instead.

I didn't even make it through the first few chapters, Chinese writing style is just terribly convoluted and full of unnecessary pathos. Reminded me of some early 1700s literature from Britain, like Robinson Crusoe.

Not until the company goes public, or I'd forfeit my stock options. But I'm positive that's gonna happen in the next 7 years...

[–] viking 1 points 1 week ago

I'm holding a substantial stock option, which ties me down for the mid term, but once that is settled I'm out.

Nah the UK adopted EU food safety standards in full and didn't get rid of them post brexit.

...yet.

Windows 10 IoT LTSC is supported until 2032. That's a problem for future me...

Hopefully by then I've switched to an employer that allows me to run Xubuntu in the office. Right now my hands are tied.

And probably some Google analytics tracker in the background as well.

 

Hi all,

Need to pick your brains for a bit regarding best practices for handling of account recovery issues while traveling.

Premise would be that my phone gets lost or stolen, and I may not have easy access to my laptop either, and being in a foreign country I couldn't easily get a copy of the original SIM to restore via OTP.

Consequently, I also don't really love the idea of using some password manager with a master password and no F2A.

Under those circumstances, what would you consider the best way forward to ensure accessibility without crippling myself in the process?

The only thing I can come up with is a random subdomain on one of my domains, with random username and random password, where I store an encrypted container containing txt-files. Maybe even further obscured with a random cypher (all numbers / letters shifted x positions to the right or something).

But there's gotta be other use-cases out there, so I was wondering what you are using?

Ideally something that doesn't involve another person.

Thanks!

 

Hi all,

I've got a bit of a spam issue that isn't solved by either keyword or actual spam filter. The problem is that I'm in China and mass email marketing here is acceptable for some reason, so local spam filters don't catch the perps, and international ones are useless based on the language.

And since I'm in a customer/supplier facing role, quite a few genuine mails use the same keywords as the spammers, so that doesn't work to fix my problem.

However, the mails are usually sent to hundreds of people at once, all with their mail addresses in plain view in CC.

So I'd just like to set up a filter to send mails with >100 recipients or something like that straight to trash, but can't seem to find it in the outlook rule settings.

Does anyone know of a useful workaround?

Thanks!

 

I don't really use facebook anymore so couldn't care less; but so happened to log in today to change my password and saw this on my front page.
