jonathantf2··on Security Issue: Cloud Site Manager presented me your consoles, not mine
Not if you use their "Dream Machine" line of products - you have to use the controller that's self hosted on the box. I'm currently trying to figure out how to disable the cloud connection on these and go back to good ol' open ports to manage the thing.
jonathantf2··on Beeper Mini is back
30p per MMS - everybody uses WhatsApp, the only time I use iMessage/SMS is for receiving OTP codes.

jonathantf2··on Windows users report appearance of unwanted HP app
I took mine to the Apple Store - I genuinely thought the keyboard was broken, never had this on any other computer.
jonathantf2··on Windows users report appearance of unwanted HP app
There is a delay, I had to install this software to fix it: https://github.com/gkpln3/CapsLockNoDelay
jonathantf2··on Cashless Sucks
"You will not be able to give money to your kids" is a point I commonly see these conspiracy theorists go on about, and it's complete nonsense.

I absolutely hate having cash on me, everyone at work just transfers each other for lunch etc. Cash is very very inconvenient because I have to drive to the next town over to deposit it and make it useful.

jonathantf2··on The new Paris métro
We went for a week in February and couldn't find a single place that had the Navigo Easy cards in stock - the paper tickets were awful and wouldn't work straight out of the vending machine, ended up wasting a lot of money.
jonathantf2··on Show HN: JellyBox – Jellyfin Desktop Client
It just comes up with a blank window - I'm judging by the icon this is only for music?

I have unfortunately seen that many a time.

While analysing my web traffic I’ve seen 5 sessions from an IP registered to Starlink in Antarctica specifically
jonathantf2··on Pixel 8 leak promises 7 years of OS updates
How can you trust that Google will still be making Pixel phones in 7 years?
jonathantf2··on Microsoft to kill off third-party printer drivers in Windows
Is it using a WSD port by any chance? I work at an IT provider and 99.9 percent of the time a printer issue is caused by this useless feature.
jonathantf2··on Nintendo DS cameras are the best lo-fi photo trend
I've seen quite a few people at concerts recording on a DS or 3DS - can't seem to find any clips but the video and audio are both horrendous, obviously not meant to be able to cope with the volume in these places.
jonathantf2··on My Overkill Home Network
Ring em up and tell them you’re leaving, they’ll drop you down to the new customer pricing. I’ve got the 1G up and down for something like £38 a month now?
jonathantf2··on My Overkill Home Network
Probably not supplied, I’ve got no IPv6 on any connection I have access to other than a few Azure VMs (and it’s a PITA to set up so we haven’t bothered)
jonathantf2··on Android 14 introduces cellular connectivity security features
Not at all - I regularly get 2G/EDGE signal, less 3G but still some of that too.
jonathantf2··on Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers
Steam on macOS is soooooooooooo slow, the only reason I have it is for Steam Chat and even with just that open it's extremely laggy.
jonathantf2··on Apple Says It Will Exit the UK Market If Government Passes Online Safety Bill
While I’m happy that Apple are standing their ground I don’t know of a single person who uses FaceTime or iMessage over WhatsApp here
jonathantf2··on Windows Update Restored: Fix Windows update on Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, and XP
Not sure if this is because I run the Pro version but I've never ever ever once had Windows 10 or 11 reboot to install updates on it's own.
jonathantf2··on A dispute over IPv4 addresses blew the lid off an effort reshape allocation
No IPv6 for me on either my phone or internet at home.
jonathantf2··on How the data center site selection process works at Dropbox
Sounds like you’ve never used OneDrive. The sync client sucks on every platform, will eat all of your memory and delete your documents.
jonathantf2··on Show HN: Mofi – Content-aware fill for audio to change a song to any duration
Seems kinda cool but I'm stuck on "Loading results... (0%, 0 of 19 done)"
jonathantf2··on Show HN: Mofi – Content-aware fill for audio to change a song to any duration
The first thing that comes up on Apple Music when you search for Levitating is the version without DaBaby.
jonathantf2··on Ask HN: Found a phishing site. Is there anyway to get it taken down?
Try https://phish.report - although if the site is behind Cloudflare there’s basically zero chance they’ll take it down.
jonathantf2··on Hacker News needs a Dark Mode
Just use a userstyle?
jonathantf2··on Hardware Hacking to Bypass Bios Passwords
That’s exactly what it’s stopping - users who don’t own the computer from tampering with settings.
jonathantf2··on Reddit.com appears to be having an outage
Does it? I usually use Reddit on my lunch about this time every day and I can't remember the last time it was down.
jonathantf2··on Reddit.com appears to be having an outage
Just getting a "You broke reddit" message - wonder if they've taken this time to do some maintenance or something?
jonathantf2··on Did Reddit just destroy mobile browser access?
I think most news sites with paywalls do this? If you change your UserAgent to Googlebot you can bypass them.
jonathantf2··on DDoS Protection
I presume they were referring to gameservers run by communities and not by game studios? I run gameservers for events that raise money for charity and we're having more and more of our boxes get hit offline - last time I had a look Spectrum required an enterprise plan for anything other than Minecraft?
