Yeah, I agree that’s the easiest path to take in properly securing it.

Oh I’ve got nothing against how the librarians handled it. I’m more concerned that their IT staff failed to properly shield the library from liabilities like OP.

Yeah, this argument is bullshit once you actually know what you’re talking about instead of following some cult videos that teach you to repeat them.

I have to admit, I never thought of this as a way to bypass the captive portal (sorta just assumed everyone going through the public network would have to hit it, kinda of the equivalent to having everyone sign a liability waiver).

That’s because if that library’s network was properly configured it would work exactly like your expectation.

Yeah, having services blocked on Wi-Fi and not ethernet just tells me that their IT staff didn’t properly configure the network in public areas properly. That ethernet port should have been disabled, physically locked, or properly configured to use the public network like the Wi-Fi does.

I plugged into ethernet (as wifi w/captive portal does not work for me). I think clearnet worked but I have no interest in that. Egress Tor traffic was blocked and so was VPN. I’m not interested in editing all my scripts and configs to use clearnet, so the library’s internet is useless to me (unless I bother to try a tor bridge).

Yeah… Trying to bypass their security by using ethernet instead of Wi-Fi to use your own stuff that’s being blocked is tantamount to abusing the library’s services. Someone should let the IT staff know so they can properly block those services on ethernet as well.

I don’t know why he’s making this statement. Blizzard doesn’t make games that don’t nickel and dime you, much less ones people feel are worth paying extra for or even worth their cost.

Don’t forget the death star absorbing an entire star’s energy to fire

Or because anyone in China working normal hours already left for the weekend because they’re 12+ hours ahead of the US.

At a previous job I had, we were only given options for 1080p monitors. I ended up with a total of 5 and needed all of them.

By today’s standards, that’s a pretty weak CPU at this point. I upgraded from mine not long after the Gamers Nexus review that pegged it at about the same performance as a 10th gen i3. I was already planning to upgrade at that point, but it really was a kicker.

Samsung store does that too. It’s quite annoying

Toner in laser printers is powder. Can’t dry out what’s already dry. If you get a brother laser printer, it will last forever.

Sacrificing children is pretty common in Linux

Makes 0 difference. The charging circuit is in charge of that logic and will accept whatever voltage is supplied (within spec) and step it down to what the battery needs.

I wonder if this usage captures vehicles as well. I know the 2016 Honda I owned was running android 4.4 or so.

They all do it now (except USPS?)

It’s still better than Roku Amazon, Samsung and LGs UIs from my experience.

How about starting with a refreshed Nvidia shield tv using modern hardware.

Why use your own resources when you can use someone else’s?
