Sounds like you have qmail at the root. I ran that with spamassassin, barracuda and some other custom rules for years. Didn’t add on the auto response you have described, but really liked it back in the day.

Did I guess kinda close to what you have running?

I’d think the annoying part would be that you’ve forced the work to prove they are human back on the sender. Might be a good way to go though given how much spam there is.

Don’t know if it was against usage terms, but I have been able to get chatgpt answers written ‘in the style of’ various subreddits since the initial release (or perhaps the second release)

Fwiw there are aftermarket options do add it through USB.

There are aftermarket options to support screen mirroring over usb, so I think it is possible. Is anyone else putting in the work to compete with Google and Apple? I’ve been watching as Google ads integration to various cars - as an example they didn’t show turn by turn directions on the screen behind the steering wheel a while ago, and added it on Honda at some point. These features take investment, and perhaps the OSS options aren’t keeping up?

As they mention in the article, tesla and rivian are doing quite well and both have opted not to integrate with phone mirroring options. So it’s a gamble, but they may think they can get away with it. Like you say, the high demand may be giving them the confidence to try.

And we seem to like destroying their breeding grounds. I’m leaving some brush piles in place and starting to see few more of them

Good for you

But you have to have $$ for it be worth a lawsuit. Notice in this case they don’t even keep records, so it’s likely hard to even fight them using their own papers. Better would be to contest in federal court using the Supreme Court opinion imo

Reagan was 81-89

This is far better than the op.

That’s awesome. Reminds me of having to tell an SVP that yes, per his demand, I did take his request to keep sharing music online illegally at work. He didnt seem to accept that the legal letters the form received meant he needed to change anything.

What could have been an ‘oh shit, my bad’ and noone has to know - turned into the entire leadership weighed in to direct me to delete the files and tools and be very clear he was putting his employment at risk.

The poor man’s ego. He seemed to think the IT guy didn’t have the ability to speak to him like that. Even insisted I tell him in front of two of his staff as a power play

I’ve been asked to help a couple save/recover their porn folder. Harder not to see at that point.

What do you want to share using the anonymity of this platform?

I don’t know enough to even ask a good question.

Now. What about before?

And some common browsers let you open a top tab, like private browsing, but full tor

Set u a forward from the Gmail address to the new one, and maintain the account at least minimally. As a reference, I have an account created at least 14 years ago still forwarding email. Should be enough time to change the profiles.

I think your definition is a fine one. I think the Nuance I was trying to make and perhaps did poorly was that the US already pays a huge amount for healthcare but we pay it to companies to do research that they then use to make profit worldwide. Not to provide services for everyone. It’s a matter of priority

Having lived for quite a long time in canada, I think most Americans would love the it.

Semi related - The USA is already socialist if you consider they have more spent per capita on healthcare, and pay for things like roads, police, fire departments, schools and the like. On the last point, they pay all the way through High School and then significantly subsidize universities as well. It’s all a matter of degree. In the usa, we socialize on many fronts, and then pay companies more than we would pay to socialize the same service and consider that better. Imo, it’s very much not.

A couple come to mind

The guy who ran a porn server from work. Was finally caught when the internet bill was huge and the cio and a tech tracked it through the network to his port. Waited until he walked away for a minute and when he came back found them on hands and knees about to pull the network cable from the server under his desk. Apparently he was making quite a bit off it too. His first words were ‘I’m fired, aren’t I?’

A woman who lied constantly. She’d claim we built something other than what we were asked to make, and the only defense was to show her the email where she asked for exactly what she got. We learned to document everything with her.

Funny side story. When I joined, all bright eyed and energetic, they assigned me to support her. No warning. I went on and created some software for her, only to get screamed at an blamed for made up reasons. I thought I was about to get fired… Turns out my team was kind of being assholes too. They all decided not to tell me anything to see if a fresh unbiased person had issues too.

Getting hit in the balls.
