You should consider a new non-d-link router if yours is vulnerable.

Re: Another thing they should be chased for

I bought a Samsung because it was not an HP. Not happy when they sold to HP. An OEM toner now costs more then I payed for the printer new. I'm sure they think I'll just buy a new HP printer when the current toner is done. LOL no.

Re: But not for long.....

keep the exterior of your vehicle in pristine condition.

If it's face book, they will give you car wash ads right after you get your car washed. If you buy a new car you will get ads for the same model.

And you will have none of that people using the same fridge for 10 years.

Re: Simpler

Well it's just that inalienable god given rights only apply to Americans, when they are in the US and not within 100 miles of a boarder and white enough.

Re: There is an issue with IT...

People who have been selling TVs and toasters are now selling smart TVs and toasters. They still release a new model every 6 months and abandon the old model as soon as the new one is released.

Security update? Buy a new one.

Re: You shouldn't have reverted the changes though

You could have changed them to be as useful as current windows errors messages by change all of them to say "something may have gone wrong".

Re: solution

I did the opposite. I took and old dead router and removed all the guts. I had a bag of self flashing LEDs from ebay that should have been RED but turned out to be RGB (the supplier sent the right ones and told me to keep the wrong ones) so I hot glued 5 of them to the inside and connected them to the power supply with a resister.

So I had a regular disco light that worked great as an idiot repellent.

Re: It's Now One Less

Set connection to metered will not work for a wired connection. And they broke the reg hack.

You can setup task scheduler to trigger when the update service starts and run a script that kills it again.

You can pause updates before you do something important. I do that before going to a convention so I don't have it deciding to install updates in the middle of an event.

Something happened.

Power failure?

The couple next door have a panic button medical alert thing that is powered by the phone line so it works even if the power is off. I also made sure they have an old hard wired phone that works in a power failure.

Now Bell has installed fiber and is trying to force everyone onto fiber, and everyone onto TV/Internet/phone bundles (they told me just internet would be the same special price but didn't know what the after one year regular price was.)

They were pissing me off so I've been playing Luddite. Now I know why they were so hot to get everyone signed up because the cable company is not making holes all over the place to install cable so I'll have two (equally bad) suppliers to pick from. Once they are done I can expect some more offers for TV/Internet/phone.

Re: $239 a month

Once Trump gets in again they can get the workhouses up and running.

Re: At werdsmith.

If you don't like lycra cycling shorts, stop looking at peoples asses. They are not wearing them to impress you and don't give a shit if they offend you.

Cameras also catch people trying insurance fraud.

Re: This is stupid

"Besides "whitelist" and "blacklist" are long-established technical terms."

That's actually part of the problem. I've had to explain what a blacklist is to people (when marketing decided that spamming was a good idea) where blocklist is obvious to anyone. The same for allowlist.

Even without the white good, black bad problem with the words I think it's a good idea just to remove unclear jargon.

Removing wtf is worse as that's just people upset about a "bad" word.

It can be IT if they can end up inside your IT

Re: Scooter stoopid

At least here (Ontario Canada) e-bike limits are a joke. While there are the ones that are built like a bike with a motor added most are more like electric Vespas. The pedals are too far back to actually use, give you a top speed of about 2 kph, or lately are just cosmetic and don't work at all. Ones sold with battery banks in parallel designed to be trivial to connect in series to produce illegal speed. One passed me doing at least 50 in a 40 zone the other day. Since they need no licence or insurance they are popular with people who lost their licence for DWI or can't afford insurance due to accidents or tickets.

Re: our lot managed to convince the hard-of-thinking to vote for brexit.

It's the 12 cookie joke in real life.

Re: Paint and notepad

Yes, if they want to move something to the purgatory store make it paint 3D. I hate when I open that by mistake.

Re: Brexit bollocks

2) The sh*t spewed by the Right, will finally be disproved

Not going to matter, they still think trickle down is a thing.

Re: We encourage all customers not to use the same password for multiple sites

I like to use the 'contact us" email address for sites that want an email address to download a driver or update.

Re: How many networks?

They could stream flight info to the passenger info system, one way through an opto-isolater. No need for anything to be fed into the avionics system at all.

Re: Flashcubes?!

I've only seen cubes (or later flip flash) on cheap cameras.

More pro cameras normally used individual bulbs. I once had a speedgraphic that I bought in a garage sale with a big case of 36 flash bulbs... they were the size of a 40 watt bulb and did they light up a field.

Trump could not care less about middle class or workers. He cars about looking "tough on China" for his voting base. He has no golf courses in China to care about. He is a vacuous hollow man.

Re: If I were a betting man...

Maybe a nice Sodium suppository would be better.

Re: If wishes were horses, beggars would ride

It may not even tell you it needs to reboot, it just doesn't work right until you decide to reboot yourself.

Re: Bets, anyone?

Must still be some cash and assets to strip first.

Re: Fascinating stuff

"Ah I see, you are reframing me as a DENIER!!!"

Not at all. You are in fact a loony. No different than flat earthers.

Re: Emabarrassed American

And now China will Tax stuff that comes from Trump States. More farmers are going to get hit.
