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.

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.

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

I believe that’s an android feature. If you’re not using it for videos, you can disable it altogether.

It’s not like I dropped Netflix and opted to pirate their content instead because of their password sharing restrictions or anything. Nah, can’t be that.

Hidden messages? There are thousands of messages your device sends every day that you don’t know about. It’s how your phone functions like it does.

No, that’s still mostly the cellular connection.

Servers and engineers to maintain the software and infrastructure are also not free.

My cats know where their poop goes. They watch as the litter box rotates and the poop falls in the hole.

Is that why nobody would hire you? /s

You don’t, you just release it as is and call it Early Access

Master should just have the feature description commits, not the hundred commits it took to get there after refactoring the code for the 3rd time and pulling changes from master since it’s taken so long to get done.

Grow up

Yeah, but you really don’t need to be an ass and flaunt it everywhere.
