Yes.

2018-03-30 15:10:20 UTC  

Thanks, I’m boomer tier tech functional

2018-04-01 19:28:58 UTC  

Would you guys be interested in me writing up a guide on how to properly use a VPN? Would include specific information on Teredo, WebRTC and some weird specific MS Windows DNS stuff that has to be disabled as well as IPV6 for a VPN to properly function. You can't just turn it on have it work seamlessly. @everyone

2018-04-01 19:29:10 UTC  

Would be windows specific and specific to Win10

2018-04-01 19:29:39 UTC  

Absolutely

2018-04-01 19:33:01 UTC  

Yes. If adaptable to Windows 7, also good.

2018-04-01 19:38:34 UTC  

Ok. I'll look into the win7 bits and make 2 guides

2018-04-01 20:15:07 UTC  

You're the best pup around! @Deleted User

2018-04-01 20:22:33 UTC  

Lol ty

2018-04-01 21:36:00 UTC  

Truly man's best friend

2018-04-01 21:38:46 UTC  

@Deleted User that sounds awesome.

2018-04-01 23:00:18 UTC  

So this isn’t an April fools joke?

2018-04-01 23:08:05 UTC  

@Deleted User can you do something that’s applicable to Mac as well

2018-04-01 23:22:40 UTC  

@Zyzz maybe. Mac is very different from Windows. I'll look into it

2018-04-02 00:23:47 UTC  

@Ben - OH well, some of us are technology retarded.😂 I'm like a boomer when it comes to tech. Haha

2018-04-04 17:38:55 UTC  

Good Win10 is such a pile of garbage. From a normie user perspective it isn't bad, but from any technical or development or mass deployment perspective its absolutely awful (much worse than Vista)

2018-04-05 14:11:57 UTC  

Going back to the burner phone discussion... Can anyone point me in the direction of such a phone/service provider? What I'm mostly seeing requires a monthly plan--which is unnecessary. Just a basic text/call-only phone with a certain number of texts/minutes that don't expire would be ideal.

2018-04-05 14:35:41 UTC  

@Argument of Perigee the mall or Home Depot. Walmart, too

2018-04-05 14:36:18 UTC  

I'll check out Walmart. Neither my Lowes nor Home Depot carried phones.

2018-04-05 14:46:29 UTC  

Weird. Does Colorado not have many Mexicans?

2018-04-05 14:53:17 UTC  

Haha, a good number there actually. I'm in Iowa staying with my family for a while at the moment though--great R&R in the rural Midwest.

2018-04-05 15:22:36 UTC  

Actually, I would expect a lot of Mexicans in Colorado. It never really got conquista'd, and I know a guy whose best friend got murdered by some Mexicans in Boulder

2018-04-05 18:45:42 UTC  

Is anybody here in IT networking or security?

2018-04-05 19:46:19 UTC  

Yeah

Att go phone. Prepaid sims. Got mine at goodwill, came in a piece of luggage I bought, no paper trail. Lol

2018-04-07 05:08:41 UTC  

I was looking at that and the T-Mobile version as possibilities.

2018-04-07 05:09:16 UTC  

The Burner App I just learned about seems like a valid possibility too.

2018-04-12 16:33:15 UTC  

Does anyone here have any experience with old MFC/AFX? I'm modernizing some software and running into a really weird issue. Everytime I try to build my VS solution I get an error stating VS is missing 'hcw' and this is somehow tied to an .hpj file for my project

> Running bitcoin node for the past month
> Data usage is high
> Internet starts running extremely slowly
> Darn ISP is throttling me, I'll call to complain
> "Sir, have you tried rebooting your PC, modem, and router?"
> "Aw heck, it's been running fine for 3 months straight, you're probably throttling me, that's the simplest trick in the book, but just to please you I'll do it anyway"
> Reboot and internet is screaming fast again
> "Well, uh ... that worked. Thanks"
> Feel like idiot as girl tech support just beat me me with the oldest trick in the book "have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again?"

2018-04-14 14:10:41 UTC  

Either that, or she removed the throttling because I complained and she lied when she said there was no throttling in the first place.

2018-04-14 14:15:10 UTC  

Same thing happened to me when I had high data usage. I tried the "unplug it, plug it back in" technique with no luck. Had to call them and then that technique worked.

2018-04-21 02:29:53 UTC  

Lol

2018-04-21 10:32:45 UTC  

<@&435155896780324864> So I'm ready to buy a VPN. Can you guys recommend one please?

2018-04-21 17:23:32 UTC  

James Allsup recommends virtual shield.

2018-04-21 17:24:42 UTC  

@Deleted User yeah like @The Huwhyte Ulf - VA There's Virtual Shield. Another one I hear people such as @Deleted User recommend is NordVPN
