You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
I understand all this, but how ste the videos actually sent if it’s neither RCS nor a link (which could have any resolution).
MMS? Like caveman?
In this case, Apple and the wife are both to blame. This is
- ancient technology
- that was never really used anywhere
Come on.
I learned it in German in Germany. Do we have evidence from the francophone world? Latam? China?
Well, aren’t most things build to make rich people richer? If you want to start a business, most likely you’ll need (rich) investors. Why would they give you their money if not to get richer?
I’m impressed by what Bitcoin and Ethereum can do, which was earlier not possible (or different). Not so impressed by most other crypto hypes.
Navigate to notion.com. check the certificate. (Click on of the icons in the browser bar on the left). Remember what you see (take a screenshot)
Do the same in a different Wifi network.
If the certificate differs, this is highly suspicious.
If your Web browser or OS accepts a CA issued by the school.
Short version: No, most likely not.
They see who you are, but not what you do.
Slightly longer: Someone can probably see your connections to google and notion and infer that you are using Notion, but they cannot see your Google/Notion account and not what content you are working on. (Also those are very popular tools, unless you are the enemy of the state number 1, why would they care?)
Even longer: If your laptop or your gmail or your notion account is compromised, they can see everything.
Davx5 but it depends on what you call easy
It’s also a lot harder today.

Interesting. The creation has a Wikipedia page.
Donair? What’s that? Fancy Doner Kebab made with Don Perignon and air?
Finally, a question where i can shine. You don’t have to do anything specific. Just do things.
Use a headset with your phone or laptop: You are on a call. Most people don’t speak much at online meetings.
Take a little nap? Thinking.
Want some time alone? Go to a meeting room. Works even better if the room has glass walls since you can see them and they can see that you are “busy”, but no one sees your screen.
Have multiple monitors. There’s always something work-related on at least one screen.
Have fields of interest that blend in. If one of your hobbies is vaguely related to work you are golden. You can totally read something unrelated to work during working time if it seems most your attention goes towards work. (See multiple screens and some switching back and force.)
Shift your working hours slightly from the norm, i.e. come 5 min earlier than others.
Don’t hide windows with non-work stuff when someone sees them. Too late. Act as if you have nothing to hide.
Do a reasonable work-life blend. Work overtime occasionally at odd hours and make managers know that you solved an emergency in your free time. Gives you an excuse to leave early or slack off the next day and any other day.
React to emails with a resonable delay. Of course, you can help, but not right now. You are busy.
Block your calendar and decline invites.
Memory leaks?
Possible, but much more likely is disk full. Not a bug, just something that happens…
You fill up the usable space. Or the visible space. No one will disamble the device and read from the raw storage.
Also interested!
Never tried them, but people claim that they are great for anything but music. You can totally listen to music through your bone, but the experience lacks behind good headphones.
in mill basis points?
Ok, so upstate means north of the capital or north NYC if in New York?
Short version: Follow the instructions you received, it will work.
Long version:
- Printed PDF on regular paper will always work. Just make sure that the 2D barcode (usually rectangular) gets printed. (Some countries may have other codes for domestic flights.)
- Mobile boarding pass with 2D barcode (usual square) also works on (practically all) airline/airports. (You don’t need an internet connection, but if you receive this via email make sure it’s available offline. If it’s an airline app, make a screenshot. If it’s Apple/Google Wallet or Passbook, don’t worry.)
- As you noticed above, the print and mobile versions look different. Both will work.
- Most airlines have kiosks where you can get a printed boarding pass whether you checked-in online or not. This is your back-up option if your phone’s battery is about to die, the mobile boarding pass does not work, or there was an operational change that requires a new boarding pass.
- Tiny airports that don’t work with mobile boarding passes will have staff to print the boarding pass for you.
- If you are checking in luggage with a human agent, you will probably get a printed boarding pass.
If I download the airline’s app to […], will the airline spam me with ads I don’t want?
Probably yes. Or the app just refuses to work. Airline apps deserve the bad app store rating.
Can I both print the boarding pass at home AND get the qr code to print the boarding pass at the kiosk?
With sane airlines, yes. Standard protocol is to use the last boarding pass generated. So, if for any reason, you get a new boarding pass at the airport, you will use this, not the one printed at home or on your phone. Some airlines will not accept the old barcode or it confuses their system.
Apparently there is something called ‘receive boarding pass by sms’. How does this work?
Old system. They will send you an MMS message or a link. If you don’t have internet at the airport, you must download the link before you get there.
Another short version: Always have three things with you:
- The booking reference, usually 6 characters
- a valid ID
- whatever you received from the airline during booking or check-in
Booking reference and last name are the magic code that will get you a boarding pass most anywhere.
SMS have been used extensively around the world. That’s texting in it’s original form. And we still use SMS to bootstrap WhatsApp or Signal.
But MMS? Phones and carriers have supported this long before smartphones, but did people really use it? Are MMS free in the US? Because in Europe, before WhatsApp and Signal took over, the was a price tag on SMS (last non-zero price I remember is 0.09€, now free) and MMS (no idea because no one uses it, but I believe 0.39€ was typical at some point).
