  • Yeah HP had a big push about 10 years ago to get into the enterprise game that Dell was dominating basically. Circa 2012ish? They refreshed their warranty repair system, started pushing next day delivery of parts to match dell/Apple and putting out desktops/laptops aimed at lasting for enterprise. It may have fallen off because I left that line of work shortly after, but Dell/Apple were a powerhouse at that time for warranty repairs. I could order parts at like 3:30pm and the replacement drive/ram/lcd/ribbon cables, w.e would arrive the next day. Apples would arrive by 10am, Dells around 12:30, so next day repairs were most common for me. For personal use dell also had complete care at the time, so you could run it over with your car and say hey this isn’t working, and if I had enough of the pieces there… They’d cover it. That’s what HP was trying to stack up against to get in the door I guess. Don’t know if they did




  • I can answer the question for you now. Apple doesn’t have the ability to change your password, update your 2FA phone number, or in your case because the account must have been created 10+ years ago and never updated to 2 factor which I believe is required on near every Apple device, they cant change your security questions eirher. The account is likely lost for good if you can’t go to iforgot.apple.com and get the reset information correct/kick off an account recovery. If you have an apple device the easiest/quickest solution is going to the Apple support app, clicking reset password, choose help someone else as you are likely signed in with another account, and enter your info there. If 2 factor is on, it should ask to confirm the phone number on the account, send you a code, if you get that right it may ask for your passcode you used on an Apple device previously (like 4 or 6 digit pin). If you get that right… you can change the password then and there, if you don’t have the phone number… The account recovery option it presents is your only option.







  • This is actually do to government policies being put in place in the U.K., Australia and such. In those countries if a user has a child account (under 13 years old) certain safety features are turned on by default now in those countries, and the parent can choose to turn them off. If your account is over 18 years old, has a credit card attached to it, or I think there is a couple other ways it will automatically assume you are over 18 and you don’t have to prove it (otherwise you would have to scan your ID to get your Apple account to have you listed as an adult). In the U.S. you don’t have to prove it, and it is opt in by the users.

    So it’s a catch 22, I think it should be opt in every where, but no one is winning a political campaign on saying 12 year olds should be able to send or receive nudes without their parents knowinh about it.




  • For part 2, they would put a mole in the group, and create a situation where someone acts like they get hurt and shoot a blank or a 22 at a group of police with riot gear on. Then smear them as armed terrorists across all media use facial recognition and security around town to collect plates, track down their locations and arrest them individually.

    If enough people do it, it would work still, but hundreds of people would go to jail first.

    I imagine most people would turn on the protesters first though. As many companies would not want to be seen as supporting armed terrorists so they would actively fire people who get named or post on social media about supporting them.





  • Not sure I haven’t used transmission much. I’m lazy and used to use qbittorrent because of its search feature was handy. Skip going to a bunch of sites hunting for something and just search it directly from the app. We now have seerr setup, so I don’t use it as much but it’s been a solid setup over the years. Set the machine to split tunnel the VPN, run qbit through the VPN and then host jellyfin or what not on the same machine, so you can kick off a download in sequential order, have the download location set to your jellyfin library, so you just refresh the movies list, and start watching while it downloads. I’m so lazy I’d use rustdesk to remote to the laptop that hosted it so I didnt have to walk to the other room.

    Basically spouse says “I heard such and such is good” and then id kick it off and in about 2 minutes we’d be watching it.

    (In that setup you don’t need to expose jellyfin to the internet or have a domain, you can just download the jellyfin app on your Roku/android/w.e tv and set the server to http://the.local.ip.address:8096/ and your good to go
