Security professional here:

If your operating system isn’t still getting security updates, get the heck off it ASAP. With the vulnerabilities that are left behind for Windows XP and Windows 7, it’s about a coin flip if your computer is already part of a botnet that attackers are using to launch global attacks. That’s…

Can confirm that Maxtrax work well in most types of snow and some ice. My neighbors keep getting stuck in front of my house, so I can just slap them down in front of their tires.

Once they are up the hill, and to maintained roads, they manage, but the Maxtrax get a workout at least a few times a year just to clear…

If you use two-factor authentication via SMS or have services that verify your identity through text messages, and those other devices aren’t secured or are shared with others, please don’t do this. If they are secured, cool, but this is a very good way to get someone bypassing your security, resetting your password,…

Likely scenario: Bipartisan does not mean overwhelming. It means they’ve got at least one person on either side working on it. So, they have to lobby with their individual sides to drive support. When an organization threatens those that might vote with it with loss of support or repercussions (blue flu, endorsing…

Absolutely. However, chromakeying lets you go the full video route if you want. You could even go so far as to put another body (clothed or unclothed) in place rather easily. 

I actually wonder if that was the purpose - to invite a harmless distraction.

But can you get it in a “growler” - (because UK slang for lady garden is already a common beer term)

I’ve taken to using my slicer with a set of $10 cut resistant gloves. It’s saved my fingers at least twice over the last five years and the gloves were no worse for the wear.

Lots of variables there. But encouraging it for others based on that would literally be the definition of survivorship bias.

I get that scientifically proven not to work reliably for others doesn’t mean jack when your experience differs, but it could easily be a case of infertility (or many, many other things).

Anecdotally, because everyone I know using this method has 4 kids or more? Often unexpectedly so?

Charting out cycles is prone to significant user error, general misunderstandings, and human variance. It’s also still dependant on abstinence at least a portion of the month and most people don’t do well with that.

Homeopathy is a specific belief about water memory and the power of dilution to use something otherwise harmful, to be beneficial. It’s has nothing to do with home remedies, which you’re mixing into this.

Here’s a great primer on it by an excellent channel:

Security Here : Do not do this. (Full Stop)

Do not make me hunt you down and hand you over to legal, the PD, and the FBI.

Ugh, I’ve got a bunch of them. I’m one of those people stuck on 150+ flights / year. I’ve been vomited on, peed on, had diapers smeared on my backpack, dealt with overdoses, and heart attacks. Airplanes are like magnets for drama, but it’s usually carefully managed, so you might not know what’s going on a row or two…

Damn, I expected to have to throw in a comment about forgetting an important place or two, but the author pretty much nailed it. Good job :)

Ditto with the folks promoting Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). If you’re on the free side, that’s the tool to use. It’s fully supported by Microsoft not to screw things up. Personally, for big jobs, I prefer System Center Configuration Manager, but that’s over kill if you’re doing less than 500 systems. With SCCM…

That may be true for a few, but it’s not true for all of the ones I’ve been around. My Ring doorbell and my external security cameras just turn on the IR LEDs, there’s no sound to something like that.

Just so you know, that line will get you detained or fined.

Just be aware that they can and will ask for your password manager password at a border. I still totally use one, but beware the limitations. 

I’ll add one important one:

I wish they noted the battery drains on the various offerings, some of these kill battery life, but I’m not about ready to test each one.

Liberator furniture is definitely a life hack.
