Went to my account and you know what message was there? Watch out for recent scam tactics!! I got a pho e call the other day, guy said he was amazon. He knew my name and obviously had my phone number. Asked me if I was in Albany New York or knew anyone who was and if I had ordered a MacBook for $1600. I said no, that's fraudulent. He said well someone created an Amazon account with your details. I asked, what email did they use? He wouldn't answer. Then he asked me for my zip code. I refused to give him any information. I said, if you know it's fraudulent, block it and cancel the account. He wouldn't tell me what email they had used to open said account and after I got pretty forceful with him he hung up. I jumped on my account and credit card. They're was no activity. He was phishing me for more info. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought things were in quadrants of 90deg? Just 2weeks ago I crossed the 45th parallel halfway between the equator and the North Pole. At least that’s what the sign said? And no you don’t need to give me a lesson on global positioning here on HSN! Edited September 13, 2023 by Drroogh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restaurants need their $, but if they told asshole customers to go away more often... They would get much more $$$... Economies of scale.

Joe_Hoopsier Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Bought to password requirements explode. Working to come up with one password for everything, instead of the 3 page excel spread sheet of crap I maintain now. My work requires a min of 18 characters, with =/-/lower case/upper case, foreign language letters, some romulan, 3 foreingi character (from star trac) to maintain one sign on to all corporate sites. It's so bad that my password is so long that Loose track in the middle of typing it all out and have to start over, and over and over.. WELL, now I have a new personal account that doesn't allow a password over 16 characters.. Does anyone have a personal, reliable rep for some fentinal? Lethal Fentinal. I simply want to check out from this shit. You dirty bastards win, I want out. NOW. I'm done. see ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply want to check out from this shit. You dirty bastards win, I want out. NOW. I'm done. see ya. I use the LastPass app for password storage. And I try to use 2FA when available. I also don’t replicate any password. I figure the headache and nuance of that vs trying to sort out a stolen identity is worth it. Am I 100% immune? Not in the slightest. But I know there is lower hanging fruit than mine so I’ll probably be ok. Plus statistically, what are the odds of having your identity stolen? Not trying to test that statement. Lol weighing the pros/cons of a little add’l security. I’ll take the add’l security. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted September 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Artificial intelligence that attempts to finish your word for you. For example, say you are out of town on business, visit a casino, and text your wife something like "I hit the ATM for $200 to pay for 'poker", But, you fat finger it and start the word 'poker' with an 'h' instead. So, the AI does a spell check for you and translates your otherwise innocent text as "I hit the ATM for $200 to pay for hooker." I may or may not be speaking from experience. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 After a visit to Kohl’s I stole this from @FritzIam4IU post in the comic thread. The Christmas planograms were already going up but the biggest peeve was. Even though my age starts with a 7 I’m like please Lord don’t let me get to be one of those old people that take 15 minutes or more because they are clueless to new technology that is supposed to simplify things!!!!
