    All lives matter people: All houses matter!

    Others: But that one is on fire… shouldn’t the firefighters work on it first?

    All lives matter people: No! All houses matter and that one is mine!!!

    Short comparison that kind of gets the point across. I think it was from some comedy show like John Stewart or John Oliver and the like.



  • But then you are sending credentials in clear text over the network. That will get logged on the corporate access logs ensuring a quick permanent vacation once they notice how careless the employee is, not to mention the mixing personal and work resources.

    Edit: forgot to mention, most work devices also decrypt SSL traffic by using man-in-the-middle approach (unless they are very incompetent). Even stuff like personal email and shopping should not be accessed on a work device if you don’t want your work to have your passwords.



  • It was pretty muddy but usable. I had a PSP hooked up to my car stereo via 3.5 jack on a custom dock that made it look really cool for a student on a budget back in the day (especially with the graphic the PSP could do while playing music), however whenever one of my friends would connect their iPod the difference in clarity was easy to tell.

    I had basic after market speakers, with a very basic after market stereo (maybe ~$200 for both), nothing crazy but even in those you could tell. This was with a first gen PSP.

    Edit: I also remember it could struggle a little with some of the bigger headphones (I had a pair of Sony MDR V6) at higher volumes (again still usable, but not ideal).











  • TBH if the same story had been told at the same pace as the first few seasons (and had actual consequences for dumb decisions), it could have worked.

    I forced myself to rewatch it recently since someone at home wanted to and it certainly was a let down, but mostly because of how it was clearly rushed and turned into a Hollywood blockbuster. E.g. people charging into an army and surviving every time, which I know he was strongly against.

    It felt like the broader strokes were there, but the show runners had no imagination of their own to make it flow properly, and might have kept more characters alive than needed to avoid upsetting fans instead of telling the story as it was meant to be told.
