just write up a thing about whatever poem/short story theyre on

thread verdict?


no idea but since its on year 4 now, they either started before high school (3 years) or they all took a year over at the same time which seems unlikely. maybe the invites started in 9th grade and all went on to go to the same high school?? if so i probably wont get them after the summer

it’d be hilarious but you’re probably better off just letting it lie. maybe redirect them to the right person if you can determine who that could be.

once i reported a lovely fake looking email to my bank, they told me it was both real and not to worry that they were sending me emails with a style they hadnt used in more than a decade

my bank (bofa (deez nuts)) keeps restyling their website every few years and they give absolutely no notice that they’re about to do this, you just go there and it’s different. i always make a worthless call to suggest they might want to send a courtesy email or banner on the site a few days in advance but nah, gently caress that. :homebrew:

A more recent incident was a company that got bought out, and EVERY USER in their AD had domain admin. Every single one. By default. Because somebody was cloning accounts to make new users and just kept cloning the Domain Admin account.

One other thing I remember from my first job was that our internal subnet was some non rfc1918 range. It was 139.139.13.0/24 or something insane. We did not own that range, it actually belonged to some jewellery organization in switzerland.

We also didn't actually own the DNS name that our domain used.

if australia is reading it they’re giving it to canada, new zealand, the uk, and the us.

They should at least ban all use of magnetic stripe cards/readers and give people different numbers to use online that aren't printed or encoded in the cards. It's dumb that despite all the effort to switch to chip cards it's still possible to steal the data to use however its being used.

my bank used to have a feature where you could generate a cc number with arbitrary expiration and credit limit for use online, and i wrote one of the generated numbers onto a blank card and used it at a gas station just for kicks once. they dumped it a few months ago which was kind of annoying but on the other hand, the generator required flash so on the whole i may be better off.

Capital One apparently still has something like this but it's a browser extension with a "virtual assistant" that will offer to generate the numbers when you're on a check out page and no way in hell am I going to install that.

It would be nice if we could use different numbers for each transaction or something like TOTP codes instead of the static CCV but I was literally just talking about one separate, static card number for internet transactions so that it's at least impossible for someone to copy your number from the physical card.

iirc there’s something in the pci spec that requires a human readable number on the card for offline processing (power outage at grocery store or similar). been a while since i had to mess with payment cards so i may be wrong.
