Ya that’s our employment insurance. Glad you were able to get back on your feet!

Many many years ago I worked a job where we had to keep an eye on the call center call queue/employees call status on the phone.

Someone always has to keep an eye on it, so if you need to go for a break, even just to use the washroom, if you’re the only one on shift, you asked one of the team leads to watch it.

Had been like that for years.

Well, we had a brand new manager for our team who was an offsite manager at another call center, and my other coworker was in a very long meeting that day so I was all alone watching things.

I was really hungry, feeling sick from it, so I asked one of the team leads as usual to watch things while I took a break and went across the street to grab some fast food and come back.

Well, while I was gone for like 10minutes, the manager had called our desk (we have voice mail) and realized no one was there.

He reamed me out for having left the desk unattended, and how I should have waited for my coworkers meeting to end which wasn’t ending anytime soon.

Didn’t care that I’d had a TL cover for me as we’d always done.

Next day, HR calls me into their office and puts me on formal notice for it.

I quit the next day. Fuck that shit.

Were you on EI still when you found the job?

That’d be a fun story to tell them why you need to restart it.

That’s what you need distress codes for.

Destruction of evidence is a much different crime.

I would suspect it’d no longer be legal to hold them indefinitely and instead at best get the max prison sentence for that crime instead.

A us law website says that’s no more than 20y as the absolute max, and getting max would probably be hard if they don’t have anything else on you.

You’d have to weigh that against what’s on the device.

Also, even better if the distress code nukes the bad content, and then has a real 2nd profile that looks real, which makes it even harder to prove you used a distress code.

Right, but this is about them bypassing you entirely.

They don’t need your fingerprint or pass code if they can bypass it themselves. This feature protects you when they’ve seized it lawfully which can be for many reasons.

That’s all lawful.

They can search you and the area when arrested. They can search the car if they have probable cause that evidence will be in the vehicle

I said have a warrant or seized lawfully, not nust have a warrant.

Edit: I didn’t even write what I said I said correctly. Corrected it lol.

They usually do have a warrant or it was seized lawfully.

This is about keeping them out even when it’s lawful.

It’s not the same.

On an iPhone it’ll reboot after X hours of no use. That means it could go months without rebooting and the day after it’s in police hands it reboots.

The feature you’re talking about would need to be set to reboot every day at a specific time. Now you personally have to deal with that. Also until you unlock the phone as well there could be reduced functionality making it annoying.

Very different.

I’m shocked they’re shocked lol

So apologize if you feel you need to and use the cash you put behind your phone in case of emergency if need be.

That’s their problem not yours.

Not sure why someone would downvote your opinion and relevant story there…

It still seems relevant enough though for the time being. Getting the stink eye isn’t a no, and maybe you’ll have to be a little picky on where.

Still better than not having it at all though.

Could throw a couple quarters in there just in case as well

Put $20-50 behind your phone in the phone case.

If you ever forget / lose your wallet, you’ll have a little cash.

It’s not an excuse.

Some people grow up and move past an experience, some people don’t. Some hold onto that hatred and become the bully themselves.

How you handle situations makes you who you are, but it’s up to you to do that.

I heard it tastes better.

He was bullied as a child, he probably never got over it and the power has gotten to his head.

It was 100% a disproportionate response, I wasn’t saying otherwise.

Well in that case, 100% of things that we’ve launched into space are either

1: Space trash

2: Atmospheric Trash

3: Ocean Trash

Except for the 1st stages of F9 and it’s fairings, and one or two first stages of some other small start ups.

Edit: sorry and the shuttle. In retrospect with the amount of refurbishment it required it wasn’t really “reusable” per say, but it did avoid being ocean trash.

50 US based devs earning 10 million, so let’s get 150 outsourced devs making 0.5 million!

Oh shit that didn’t work? Okay let’s get 300 outsourced devs making 1 million!

That’s sure to make things better!

What Elon did was terrible, but it wasn’t “for no reason”

The dude attacked him in the media, and Elon is petty and vindictive.

Was the harshness of Elon’s response representative of the attack? Absolutely not. But it wasn’t nothing.
