Dungeon Crawler Carl reference with a Way of Kings username? I’ve found my people.

The whole We Were Here series is marvelous. Asymmetrical co-op puzzle games. My friend and I’s recent games list looks very similar to this.

We also do a lot of single player games with one of us streaming over discord. When it’s a slow-burn puzzle or mystery game, it doesn’t really matter who is actually controlling.

For those types, I really recommend Return of the Obra Dinn. We’re currently working our way through the entire Frogwares Sherlock Holmes collection. The old ones are so terrible, which is a greatness all by itself.

It works by encouraging union and co-ops, actually punishing companies that break laws, and providing social safety nets. Basically everything this comic points out.

From literally the first paragraph stating it’s still there.

The original motto was retained in Google’s code of conduct, now a subsidiary of Alphabet. Between April 21st and May 4th of 2018, the motto was removed from the code of conduct’s preface and retained in its last sentence.[9]

Gonna go on Countdown with the line “Dictionaries aren’t rule books, they’re record books” and fight Susie Dent.

I suppose it could go either way. That would be true if we see stardates as a universal system that applies anywhere and everywhere. If we instead imagine them to include encoded information about local space time, it makes sense that they might be inconsistent but always moving forward.

I am, of course, using “makes sense” extremely loosely here.

I guess when you’re traveling around faster than the speed of light, time and date stop meaning the same thing as they do back home, so it stands to reason that you couldn’t map stardates to any standard calendar.

At least, that’s my new headcanon.

The problem is that type of phishing is pretty much unheard of these days. You’re so much more likely to run into a fake Microsoft SSO page. I see these every day at work, and if you’re not checking the URL, it’s often identical.

So, the actual highest commandments are use MFA, read urls, and double check email senders.

I want to know who had the corkscrew.

Szeth-son-son-Vallano, truthless of Shinovar, wore white on the day he was to kill a king.

Wanted to not do my actual job for a few minutes, so I had time to read some Wikipedia pages, haha.

Also, Seattle should be a reference to Microsoft. It seems IBM and Microsoft started an operating system collaboration in 1985, but somebody more knowledgeable is going to have to weigh in.

Isekai is a popular genre of manga and anime involving a character being reborn in another world, or more recently as some weird item or monster. Often this is initiated by the character dying. (See “truck-kun”).

In this scenario, after incorrectly pronouncing ASCII, the American character encoding standard, as isekai, the speaker is hit by an IBM truck (a company famous for its early advances in computing, among other things), and is reborn around the time they had market dominance in personal computers.

I don’t think IBM had much of anything to do with the creation or popularization of the ASCII standard, but memes can’t all be perfectly accurate.

Hope this helps!

This 100% My experience only mattered because I was able to really involve myself and had a great relationship with my instructor, and still do, actually. There were people who failed out, so my specific program isn’t something I’d classify as a degree mill, but I 100% could’ve coasted through and retained nothing.

I’m a SOC Analyst in my mid 20s.

I did a boot camp, it got me a job. BUT I already had a degree, though in a completely unrelated field. For people just out of college age like me, that degree requirement was much more about showing you’re capable of committing to something than it was about specific knowledge.

You’re going to need to get certifications no matter what you do. My boot camp prepared me for Sec+ and CySA+, but you could 100% do that on your own.

At the end of the day, it’s going to come down to how much time/money you’re willing to invest. If you’re able to get a degree without significant hardship, I’d do that. There’s so much value to education, no matter the subject.

If you’ve got less money and time than that, consider a boot camp. I had an amazing time in mine, and the schedules are often designed for working adults. My class had people of all ages, though the ones with some previous interests/hobbies in IT definitely got the most out of it.

Feel free to DM me, mentoring and networking is a huge part of cyber!

That’s got to just be practice though, right? If you write primarily in cursive, it’s going to look better. Nowadays, people hardly write at all. As long as I can read my handwriting, it doesn’t really matter in my day-to-day life.

This is a poorly written article. The FBI did not access computers randomly looking for the botnet like it claims, they used the botnet infrastructure to uninstall itself.

There are still extremely valid privacy concerns here, especially considering potential applications of plain view laws, but it should still be presented factually.
