@gumnos It’s sort of hard to tell but the porch at the top of the stairs is eight feet deep. It seemed to my wife and I that the package was placed so that it would purposefully block ⅔ of the stairs. There were many places and ways in 5 feet area to not block the stairs.

@DrScriptt I imagine it was done so that putting the packages on the stoop didn't impede your opening the door (we've occasionally had the opposite where we couldn't open the door because the packages were in the way)

Is it just my wife and I? Or does this feel like an @Amazon delivery driver being purposefully mean?

@AmazonHelp That’s why I’m asking how to open it in the Amazon app on my phone. The password needed in the web browser is difficult to get to at the moment. The app on my phone where I’m replying to you remembers the password.

@DrScriptt Thanks for asking, the link will automatically open the browser. -Nani

@AmazonHelp Is there a way that I can get to that form in the Amazon app? The app remembers my password which is in a password manager on a computer that corrupted itself. But I can still do things in the app.

@DrScriptt We'd like to look into this with you. When you have a moment, please provide us with as many details as possible here: amzn.to/3MNrnfs, and a member of our Operations team will be in touch directly to address this. -Nani

@gumnos Agreed. I was using “TLS” as a stand-in for encryption as in not plain text.

@DrScriptt I didn't dig into whether the HTTPS was SSL or TLS. For all I know, it was single DES or ROT13 encraption 😉

Gaaaa…encountered a financial institution with 1) an expired TLS cert (only 82 days expired) 2) and using account# and last 4 of SSN as login credentials, no 2FA or even complex password requirements What is this, the 90s? 😱

@MaggieL No amount of range time will help when there are three or more attackers. I guess that there’s a small chance that more range time will make the reloads faster. But I doubt it will help much and definitely not in the way that they are saying.

Tell us you bought a Biden shotgun without telling us you bought a Biden shotgun.

@TouchTheFloof Please do not feel bad about what you are doing. You must take care of yourself before you are able to take care of others. Even the airlines know this and tell you the same about putting on oxygen masks. (As just one example.)

@dtbnet I fully respect that.

@DrScriptt I'm just not going to spend my time on my talking device to do computing/typing work. At my age, I have a substantial medical history and active Rx list. Coupled with my sausage fingers, my "typing" on my phone is as minimal as possible.

Dear Healthcare Providers: Please stop texting me links to fill out my medical history. No way I'm spending days thumbing around on my phone to fill that shit out. Either email it if you want it pre-filled, or wait until I arrive and fill it out by hand.

@AnotherHowie That seems like an absurd wait time to me.

Got to car about 7pm to find it completely dead (battery). I just got an update from AA that recovery vehicle will "aim" to arrive for 1am. 6 hours in an unheated unlit car is no fun.

@SimCityLimits @TonyMontcalm I was wondering the same thing.

@TonyMontcalm What a beauty! 😍💾 Real question is if you have Disk 1 too! 👀

@dtbnet @billdeg Click whir click whir click whir click POP hey who turned out the lights‽‽‽

@DrScriptt @billdeg I believe you do :)

AS/400 620

@billdeg That looks like a late AS/400 / early iSeries.

Clue

A large computer rescued...guess!

@nixcraft @gumnos Simply ignoring something doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. Talking with someone of a differing opinion and listening ~> understanding is how you learn things. What you learn and if you agree with it is separate from listening ~> learning.

@DrScriptt @gumnos you have to ignore it for your peace of mind.

Someone effectively accused me of being a Microsoft fanboy troll and told me to get out of a Linux newsgroup.

@vmisev @gumnos My wife things that a zealot will be less open to disagreement than a fanatic. I’m going to defer to her judgement as it usually works out well for me.

@vmisev @gumnos I don’t know who’s less open to disagreement, zealots or fanatics.

@datashed I think that ARM is a sizable player. I’m interested to see what RISC-V and OpenPOWER do.
