This area has been pretty well explored by Pokemon Go players already. On Android there's an app called defit that has multiple options for adding fake exercise data to your Google fit account which is where Pokemon Go, and typically these insurance apps, pull their info from.

I never let a boomer get away with the "it's just how I was raised" excuse when they show support for racist or homophobic views. I'm certainly not about to accept the same excuse from college kids who are at a school in order to learn new things.

Learn new things. It's not a suggestion, it's the entire point of being where they are.

Just posting a comment for all the people that did die 1 times and aren't able to comment now. How do you think this sort of thing works again? You should look up the story about the airplane mechanic in WWII

Watch the documentary The Internet's Own Boy. It's very much worth the watch.

The most impressive part is the lack of footprints on Amy's side. She can swing that ass like a cement truck

Just looks like reddit shot themselves in the right foot, then tried to fix it by shooting themselves in the left foot.

Remember when the right was so obsessed with stopping Russian propaganda that they dragged half the Democratic party into a Senate sanctioned witch hunt looking for Russian mouthpieces?

Now they happily gobble up Russian propaganda to own the libs.

I've worked for a few of the larger ISPs in the US. They all have their own special weird shit like a windows NT machine shoved in a corner in a CO in west Texas that you have to remote desktop into and run some java applet from the 90 to log into a hardwired machine from the 70s just to set up a voicemail box for a phone line. Ain't broke don't fix it leads to some wild setups at companies you wouldn't expect it from.

Everyone knows refineries produce gas for their cars. Less people know refineries produce all the plastics too. Even fewer people realize an alarming amount of the industrial fertilizers we use to keep billions of people from starving to death comes directly from oil.

We. Are. Stuck.

Until we figure out how to repair all the scorched dirt we killed through overfarming that can no longer grow plants without heaps of fertilizer. Until we find some other process to produce massive amounts of plant food. Until we find some other way to fill billions of mouths we really CANT stop drilling or people die.

I'm all for eat the rich but they're more like an delicacy, not a staple diet for half the world. We need solutions along with all the 'tear it down.' You know who wouldn't starve if we stopped drilling immediately? The rich

netsend

It's a little command line program included with windows that you can set up to send short messages to computers as a popup box. A lot of printers could use this to tell you your print job was successful, and it was used a lot in libraries and such. And also my high school. They had some cursory protections in place, but if you managed to open a command prompt you could send your own message. You just needed the recipients windows username or PC name.. our school used the standard first letter of first name + full last name, even the teachers. So of course, being highschool, this spread like wildfire and there was a whole semester where everyone was abusing it to troll other classmates or interrupt teachers mid lesson. It was also being used as IM/text before any of us even had phones - you could shoot your friend a message to dip out of class or something.

Everything came to an abrupt halt when a guy was dared to run a batch file that was a single, looped, expletive laden net send to a wildcard recipient. It sent the message on repeat to every computer in every school in the district. Every time you hit ok a new box would pop up with the same message. Supposedly every computer needed a hard restart, including servers. Dude got in trouble, and our printers stopped telling us the print job was successful after that.
