My conspiracy theory is that hes sitting on a mountain of Hillbilly Elegy DVDs and this is his plan to finally sell them all.

But yeah, he believes in whatever is making him money at any given point because hes simply 10 pounds of slime in a 5 pound sack.

You're absolutely right. Everyone will be very worried and talk about the importance of security in the enterprise and yada yada yada until a cool new AI spreadsheet software comes out and everybody forgets to even check if their firewall is turned on.

But with that being said, if you have been looking for a good time to ask for cybersecuity funding at your org, see if you can't lock down 5 years worth of budget while everyone is aware of the risk to their businesses.

Id say its more like a brother that I know could be doing better for himself but is instead repeatedly screwing up.

This is such a tragedy. And magnetic tape from that era may or may not hold up long enough before someone finally gets around to having them digitized.

Can, yes.

Should, maybe.

Enjoy doing, unlikely.

And for sure your home isp has all the email ports blocked upstream.

With all that being said, to call SMTP dead is wildly insane. I do figure it will die someday though. Probably around the same time of universal IPV6 adoption during the year of the linux desktop.

Octoprint is what I use. Slicing is probably the thing it woukd be least good at but all the rest is good. And theres an api to write plugins for if youre into that sort of thing.

The good news is that you can still tie them with an on-shoe button. But, you cant change the colors of the lights anymore. So basically garbage at this point.
