    Same, although I haven't seen this one for a while now. One way to fix the misbehaving explorer (which start menu, tray and others are part of) is to simply kill it and start it ov…

    Normally I do that too, but this was fairly new and internal application that was still in development, so that's why it was there. And if it wasn't for this incident, they might a…

    I've seen worse. Couple years back, there was an audit that included an internal system I've been working on. It was running on Debian oldstable because of a vital proprietary libr…

    You can take full control over the routing using router script, then none of the default rules will apply. To be honest, I really dislike how many applications are wired around som…

    The built-in web server can only process one request at a time.

    I used LD_PRELOAD for patching RCE vulnerability in PunkBuster[0]. They did patch the exploit, but that didn't involve many of the older games they dropped support for. The AC itse…

    I thought this was the Passwordless account they implemented (EDIT: didn't realize you weren't talking about the Authenticator app), but I had it turned off. I somehow managed to m…

    Did it give you a result leading directly to their canonical campaign website? I can see Sanders and Clinton with international, but can't see DeSantis nor any other Republican can…

    Yeah, that must have been my collegue. Usually he was in charge of implementing all the new stuff, because he was able to deliver fast. And then I had to refactor, or usually just …

    That caught my attention too. Right now, the cheapest option out there still seems to be getting a dumbphone and a few pre-paid SIM cards. Sadly, pre-paid cards are no longer an op…

    Sure, but then VPN might be just as problematic unless it's a one that's not provided by a known VPN company. My point is that VPN is just a way to proxy your traffic to somewhere …

    Someone else had the IP assigned, then, or you're behind some sort of NAT with someone else. The ISP very likely holds a record of which device had a particular address assigned at…

    I don't have nearly as large sample size, but all the games I used to play on XP work fine on W10. And I don't think I've used the compatibility mode, ever. Actually yes, C&C Red A…

    To my fake name (from family and friends), anything official goes to the mailbox at my real address to which I have access to. But that rarely happens thanks to e-government. Becau…

    Not OP, but one thing I do is having a fake name on my mailbox and doorbell. I figured my neighbours don't need to know, and parcel services don't care. I don't legally live on tha…
