It was happening before they removed the protections, so I can’t imagine that it’ll take long. (For a recent reference that is well known refer to the time an ISP intentionally slowed down all Netflix traffic to extort “fast lane” fees)
Gotta say that most of the posters here are spot on.
For the folks criticising my response:
I’m in 2-4 cities per week during the busy season at work and am frequently in Houston. My best tips are all around avoiding the things that make Houston a terrible place to visit....
Just adding that some of my colleagues travel with pre-check but due to their choice of shoes or belts, still have to do the usual partial strip tease to get through the metal detectors. Apparently quite a few heels as well as men’s shoes have just enough metal in the soles to set it off.
I’ve owned two of those before, trust me, that’s just a temporary condition.
First, if you just want a place to chuck your bags for the day, nearly any hotel will stow baggage for free. I do it all the time, just walk up to reception and ask if you can drop off your bags for the day. I’ve never once been asked any further questions. I don’t feel bad at all about this since I always use hotels…
Just keep in mind that he intentionally exposed much less data than pretty much all of us have had leaked and was completely compromised. He posted his SSN only, but not DOB, complete address history, complete loan history, and complete phone number history which are all in this leak.
You should look up the wiki for LifeLock and what happened to the guy that owns it. It is certainly not failsafe and the guy practically had his life ruined. It can be useful, but it’s limitations should be understood.
For those suggesting the insurance company would have had to inspect it and such, just ask yourself, what’s the chances that someone with an old Prelude with a blown transmission has flood damage insurance on their car. If the due is liability only (possible) that’s gonna suck no matter what. Calling it a “total loss”…
They spent money to perform a validation on a hypothesis. Com’on, it’s basic scientific principals, let’s be better than those who are anti-science. I’d personally have loved to have my misconceptions about this group proven wrong and instead have highlighted other possible motives.
As a a person who can both easily pick most commercial locks, and can spoof smartlocks, I have smartlocks on my house.
Here’s how I’ve best had this negotiated. First, leave the “why” out of it entirely. Instead ask what the typical schedules are, and if they conflict ask about any flexibility in scheduling. In this case, the why is a minefield, but the what (scheduling conflicts) is entirely fair game to discuss.
Oh, let’s be clear here, most companies do not know what to do, and often slip questions like these in to get an idea of what other companies are doing or what the person’s experience has been. Lots of places are having to reevaluate or completely reverse these policies. In EDU, the practice use to be mass evac…
Maybe I just work in weird places, but the workplace shooting one is actually a practical exercise if the employee will be directing evacuation of personnel or will be working in reception where they would be interfacing with the public - same as fire drills. This person is typically a standard worker with the…
The concept is the same as having your pet injected with an ID chip. It’s a sterile process and it can be read with a proximity sensor.
Typically the system must be programmed to support the chip you’ve got. HID ProxCards are RFID, that’s a pretty common standard. As long as you can convince your work to use your provided card rather than an assigned one, it would work. For NFC, those are programmable chips that only contain a few bytes of data when a…
Every state has it’s own regs on size and what-not, but here it’s fine. I also use the clip so it always has at least a visible portion to avoid any of the concealment issues.
One of the easiest approaches I’ve ever found is asking the requester, “How does legal feel about this?” I’ve had to ask it a couple times and usually the answer was a pause, and then a call to find out where it usually stopped the behavior cold. If legal has signed on to what you feel is unethical, the company may…
