Not everyone has the luxury of choosing where they work. People need to eat. Are some people complacent? Sure. But that doesnt mean every person working at Microsoft is a horrible person.

Agree. I had that much garlic last night

I just returned it, but my idea was a separate VLAN and block all connections except for whitelisted ones for streaming. Smart tvs/rokus/etc do a lot of talking and they could theoretically brick themselves if there isn't an internet connection available.

The future is a wonderful place!

Last tv i bought wouldn't let you set it up without connecting to the internet. Guess we'll need open hardware tvs next if they don't aleady exist

i did recently go through and turn off auto renewal on a few. I still have several projects i never launched though that I'm holding out hope for... someday

Well yeah recently, if you live under a rock

Should've used Papyrus

I only checked replicate api but you can generate 333 images for $1. Ofc takes some know-how but it's cheap if you can get it set up

Idk sounds like projecting to me

This happened to me last year. Bought a cs4 and cs5 design suites back when they came out. Only ever used on one computer. When i unauthorized my computer and moved it to a new one they wouldn't authorize it and demanded proof of purchase. I showed those fuckers a paper receipt from 10-15 years ago. They wouldn't accept it and required additional information to verify i was authorized to purchase the software at the discounted price from an authorized retailer. It took several back and forth before they issued a new cd key instead of reactivating mine.

I suspect the cdkeys were cracked at some point and i just had the unfortunate luck of mine being abused. Would be nice if they didn't require online authentication for a product i legitimately own though. If they are going to require online authentication then they need a more secure way of generating their cd keys.

Pihole let's you set up groups so you can always exempt certain devices from blocking if that's the issue. Otherwise you just need to go to your router and change the dns server to your pihole ip

Yup. He had a community post saying he was too young to run but if he could run it wouldnt be about left or right, he'd sit down with both sides and work out a compromise. Previously i thought the minimum age should be lowered but after seeing something so naive i reconsidered.
