^ This. There are A and B standards, and each standard has its own crossover. But there is also a crossover between A and B standards, which is typically what is used when referring to crossover cables.

In other words:

Not A-to-A xover

Not B-to-B xover

xover A-to-B

Yes, but also with sources or explanations. Because holding the floor for 30 hours in one day sounds like sensationalist AI drivel.

No you don’t understand, the former military officer isn’t qualified to run the DOD.

If your device permits it, run raid on disc, and use nvme as cache. My Synology does this.

I don’t see anyone mentioning it, but what if you do forget (or don’t know) your email password? Is there absolutely no way to recover your account? I’m sure there might be some services that are that restrictive, but I’d think that most are recoverable with some extra steps, no? Unless I’m missing something?

I don’t live in NY but as I understand it, they had to offer this service to every qualified individual. They most likely didn’t have the option to only support certain or just existing customers.

Think of it this way: Had ATT the option to exclude, they would have and abuse it as much as possible. They can’t, so either they follow the law or take their business elsewhere. Leaving paves the path for another company or cooperative who does want to follow the new laws, rather than having ATT undermine at every opportunity. It hurts in the short term, but in the long term it helps. NY isn’t the first place to chase big telcomm out.

Yeah, no kidding. I would never be satisfied with infinite money, I’d need more!

I’ve also been involved in something similar. It costs a lot to expand infrastructure. Part of my job would be to plan and explain the costs associated with that. Wireless still needs a wired connection, and wireless still has connection limitations. You can’t just add more users and expect things to work. And you can’t just plop another receiver without it interfering with the others. It needs to be properly planned and something as simple as a building’s signal reflectivity can mess an entire project up. More towers, more equipment, more redundancy, more personnel, more cables, more power, and forking all the money to do all this within the time limit or face fines is a huge task. And that’s assuming it could even work on a technical level, sometimes you just can’t do things (don’t want to interfere with FAA requirements and such) and people don’t understand.

I hate ATT too, but from a purely financial and planning point of view, I’ve been there. You can’t just snap some fingers and make things happen just like that.

Not sure what to do. I gave it my IMEI but it said that wasn’t recognized as belonging to a Pixel 4a…except my phone clearly is, isn’t running custom firmware, and still in my purchase history.

Might only be the whistleblowing stuff. Might not. Guess you’ll have to kill me to find out.

Try using a tab suspend extension, something like ‘auto tab discard’. Firefox has one built-in, but it’s not aggressive enough.

“HAL! I need you to understand, Twitter is X now! Please, unlock the damn door!”

Keep in mind that part of the reason I think they’ve given up is because there’s no reason to believe the promises made will ever be delivered. They may care about taxes, but you’d probably get more engagement by making an AI generated tiktok video of a dinner table splayed with food in the image of rich oligarchs. There just isn’t much left but the jokes, it’s not code - it’s that if everything is going to be bullshit, it might as well be entertaining.

Everything has to be a meme. Lower taxes, healthcare, or racism isn’t exciting. Couches, weird, eating pets and out of context outbursts get way more engagement. Mostly, because people have given up.

Let’s not also forget the fleet of passenger aircraft for distinguished persons, maintained by the military, with everything custom made and embroidered with presidential seals and produced in the USA and run through vigorous inspection to prevent microphone or pagers or something inside your soap dispenser.

There’s also no such thing as “Military Grade” Encryption. The government as a whole, as directed by NSA, uses the same encryption technology. If anything, one of the defining techniques is how said technology is implemented as a process. That means less about the algorithm and more about the hardware and handling. For example, when dealing with classified networking, one of the key differences is using dedicated hardware. These aren’t PC’s that can be hacked, they are devices whose specific role is to handle encryption, key loading, or key acquisition. They are hardened to prevent emissions from leaking and will dump keys, firmware, memory if tampered with. End devices can only accept keys with no way to retrieve them for reuse.

Advertisers that claim they are offering you “Military Grade” encryption just do regular NSA encryption methods in software, with no hardware component, and no handling process. Which would never be used in the military to secure classified data.

Also, most encryption used in these devices don’t use one key, they use key generators. Each device talking to another generates a unique, temporary session key. These session keys do not last long, so if any one key is compromised it limits any potential unauthorized disclosures. Capturing encrypted data for later cracking would prove to be a time and resource exhausted process that would provide too little information, too late. At this point it would be easier to actually try to steal the keys and hardware, rather than crack them.

In it’s early days? My nephew played that a long time ago. It filled his PC. I thought it was mods. As in, the entire game would clone itself when it created a mod profile. I don’t think it does that anymore.

Pagers are not guaranteed to be 1 way comms and bringing them into secure locations is a security violation. Additionally, depending on the classification, no unauthorized and undisclosed devices of any kind would be permitted, including any electronics or electronic media such as tapes, CDs, discs, etc. Even when I was issued a verified 1-way pager, I was specifically briefed I was not permitted to bring it into a classified location. Most of the highly classified SCIFS are shielded anyways, you can’t use it inside so it’s safer to leave it out, along with all other devices.

If your organization allows it, then (if federal) they are breaking the law and should be reported/up-channeled. If it’s corpo, you should bring up additional concerns with your security team.

Edit: Also, it goes without saying, current events are probably a good reason why pagers (and other devices) aren’t allowed in classified areas. While most focus on disclosure (getting out), we must not forget the risk of data/operations getting destroyed.

All valid concerns, but the fact is if you accept the weapon and anything happens, you are at fault.

We’ve had people get issued, and immediately, check and clear their weapon in the presence of an armorer in the bucket, and get in trouble for it misfiring, despite the fact that it should have been checked and cleared prior to change of hands and in addition to the fact that you hadn’t been issued ammo yet. It’s dumb, but people die over this, so they are very strict, even when it sometimes seems unnecessary.
