my friend and I used to use net send to message each other on the school network (this is back in the 90s), then someone worked out you could send to all PCs on the network, sysadmins were not happy
I've worked IT in schools and the hoops kids have to jump through to do similar stuff on our networks is so much harder
there's an even bigger issue there - file size (or file systems) are not taught anymore. Hell the ipad doesn't even expose a file system to its users. I work in schools and teachers and students are both as bad as each other
TBF they inherited the Romulan Supernova plot from the movies. If they were going to embrace that I'd have rathered they told it properly instead of alluding to it all the time (prodigy season 2), or picking up after what could have been a compelling story. What's worse is they keep setting things up and never paying them off - Borgati says there's a big threat out there, ok tell that story - no. Burnham solves the burn and finds a butt load of dilithium - cool lets see them rebuild the federation - no. Here's a back door pilot for a series with the Enterprise G on a 5 year mission and Picard's son is picking up Q trial - no. Here's a setup for the continuing missions of the Ceritos under jack ransom - no.
as cool as it is to have a gmail account from back then, I have an older lady in the US who just registers things against it, because we have the same first initial and last name. I found her on facebook and messaged her to tell to please stop using my email address, she still does it from time to time.
Its crazy that stuff like ebay will let you verify an account with a mobile number, but never verify the email address. I ended up moving her ebay account to an email address that I created, but I was tempted to buy a bunch of shit for her...
