Ultimately only you can make the decision about what you want to do with your life.

One thing to consider is, what does failure look like? Not that I’m suggesting that you’d fail, rather, does this help you choose?

In other words, try to find things that distinguishes between the choices. Things that make them different.

You might also ask people already doing the things you’re choosing between. Perhaps you can ask them what they discovered that they liked or hated about their chosen profession.

If I remember correctly, my understanding is that the fridges were running an ancient version of nginx, had the username admin, no password the password is reset daily to … the current date and based on the information printed before logging in were easily found with a search engine.

The “hack” can apparently be achieved with a single line of bash, using curl to make the connection.

I’ll see if I can find the thread that discussed/announced it, but as an ICT professional, this doesn’t appear to be a “hack”, rather a set of unlocked doors that someone bored enough tried the knob on.

Edit:

Sorry, remembered the password incorrectly.

I know there are large organisations where the laptops are configured to also update their firmware when users are trying to get out the door at the end of the day and the outsourced ICT teams couldn’t care less.

Microsoft continues to be the best advocate for migrating to Linux.

In many ways a vending machine is precisely that.

This is not limited to CompSci graduates and gets worse the older you get.

It’s also not limited to CompSci.

That’s very interesting and helpful. In light mode it’s normal.

Edit: And if you toggle Dark mode, it stays readable, but the navigation buttons go white until you open the keyboard.

Edit: Hmm the toggle fix only worked once and navigation stays white on white.

Thank you. I’ll lodge a bug report in the morning.

Box Jellyfish, Taipan, Stonefish, Redback Spider, Drop Bear, Hoop Snake.

Yeah, I suppose you’re right, we do like to name things in an understated elegance.

Given that its CEO has some serious issues with democracy, I can’t say that I care one iota which language abomination is powering his empire.

What screenshot?

I’m not OP.

If you knew that, it would have been helpful to share that information rather than make a joke about it. I spent the time between my reply to you and now trying to actually find the account in question and still haven’t.

It’s for the karma … right?

I’m seeing this in Australia.

Try looking at legally required ingredient and nutritional labels on food and you’re in for a shock, light grey on white, yellow on white, label across a square corner, it’s clearly intentional and nobody seems to care.

Until just now I’d never heard of Leon Black, seems he’s never heard of the Streisand effect.

I wonder who else is hidden away in the Epstein files.

Also for Australian users.

Edit: Hmm, it’s the search results for “Lake Ontario” that return “Lake America” spam, the underlying map currently shows “Lake Ontario” here in Australia.

Hmm … “escaping” … you mean like say an internet worm or a virus?

Can’t wait to hear the next startup venture capital pitch:

“We’re like the Ghostbusters of AI”

What is it that drives your desire to increase the size of the fediverse and what makes you think that sport is something that everyone cares about?

If you want to have more sports because it interests you, then start a community on an instance that wants it, or failing that start your own instance and put whatever you want on it.

The beauty of the fediverse experience is that I can choose to engage with or ignore your efforts exactly to the extent of my level of interest, as can everyone else.

What you appear to have failed to understand is that there is nobody who will do this for you, it’s your responsibility to do the work.

The “space dominance” you refer to is not real. There’s exactly as much space available as you want, because all of it is virtual.

We’re not here to make money, we’re here to build a community and the decentralized nature of the fediverse is intended to keep communities small, cohesive and personal, rather than large, disjointed and impersonal.

Anyone remember “Microsoft Works”?

(It didn’t)
