This reminded me of an anecdote from maybe 6 years ago. I was setting up and testing a small network and a couple devices to install for a customer, let’s say the subnet was 192.168.2.0/24.
Weird things were happening, I was being lazy and wasn’t directly connected to the network, may have setup a VPN between devices somewhere; can’t really remember. But pings would sometimes drop or blow out to 100’s ms.
I eventually ended up disconnecting that network entirely, then the pings continued and got more stable?? WTF! I need we didn’t have that subnet in use, even checked before setting it up. In the time between checking and the issues happening, someone in Sydney somewhere had stuffed up on their router and exposed there LAN to the internet without any Firewalls, just available.
Scanned and found all the IPs in use and in them found a printer. Connected to it and printed a page saying I’m from company XYZ and found all these devices available, and to either contact their IT and resolve it ASAP or my company to help. About an hour later it seemed to be resolved.
It was an interesting day.

Have you tried turning your phone upside down?


I wish you’d get outta my life and shut up.


Ahh but you see, if the world’s leaders sit idly by for another few years until there aren’t any Palestinian people left, they’ll be able to say “look the genocide has ended, we did it!”. All without having to even lift a finger to write a mildly worded letter.


But… That’s just the toilet, and it’s not secret. In fact it’s well signed to make sure people can find it.
I don’t want to read the next book.


Free‽ No profit‽‽
Where’s the profit in that!?!


This first iteration is only capable of identifying serif fonts, still impressive though.


But then they’ll just make defending yourself against armed violent and threatening homophobes a hate crime.


That right!
And you call this gestures vaguely around a bucket‽ More like some kind of high walled vessel.


But the cinnamon helps the lead taste better


If only someone had created a proofreading AI.
Prompt: proofread the draft of my novel at a 6th grade reading level.


Sure, once, but that… Was a long time ago
This is correct. As a grown arse-man, this is a fantastic movie. Number is great too, and there’s not many movie I am actually looking forward, but the 3rd Incredibles movie makes the cut.
