With default credentials. Jesus Christ almighty. It’s willful negligence.

That’s cool. Can you explain what you did to get that?

True dat

Before the item is uploaded there is an option to “delete from device”.

On Windows I get a “some apps are preventing shutdown…”. With a list of apps. The app that is stopping shutdown? It’s called “shutting down”. Wtf

I hate my government for forcing Imgur to be blocked :(

I know this is a typo but I found it hilarious to think you were recommending 20 hour shifts as an improvement.

I don’t think it was DOGE. According to a quick search DOGE was initiated as an executive order in January 2025, which would make sense as that aligns with Trump coming into the presidentcy.

The quote in OP "This suggests an undercount of incidents after the cuts" is alarming. That suggests that figures from 2025 onwards are potentially much higher.

(edited: amusing typo)

What triggered the increase in 2024? Doesn’t seem related to the staff cuts in 2025 and the number remained high thereafter

Watched this a few days ago. Still gives me goose bumps.

Isn’t it telling when it mentions they were against the appointment that it instantly translates to “this guy must be good”

That you know of 😂

Thanks for the insight. Truly grateful you replied as I checked your comment history and there were months between comments so I thought I’d never get one :)

I’ll refrain from doing a fresh install on this, see how it goes 😄

Watching this unfold and continue days later is wild.

Seeing the amount of unbridled hate coming from the comments is justified, surprising and a little scary.

There are lots of unique identifiers in computers, not just Windows.

MAC address, serial number, bios uuid.

Linux even has /etc/machine-id

Have you moved the same install around and upgraded along the way? If not, how often do you decide to reinstall fresh?

I used to go fresh every 12 months or so on Windows. Only recently started to use Linux as a desktop so wondering what others do.

That’s really insightful, thanks 👍

shame that piefed has similar block lists.

I wish developers would try not to play fedi-police

I noticed this a few weeks ago. I blocked the domain and purged the hardcoded ones.
