The SSN is useless without a corresponding name, so they'll monitor for known leaks of your name, phone number and email, and report anything that is linked to those. Chances are, if the leak is genuine, your data will be as well.
Tankies gonna tank. Just block their shit instance and move on with your life.
Someone should face jail time for this piece of crap that I can't opt out of.
And OneDrive as well. That piece of shit installed itself as the default save as location, and after removing it from my system, the save as dialogue now hangs for 20 seconds. And the policy to remove OD as a save location doesn't work whatsoever.
Yeah they are shit, but aren't forced down your throat by the OS.
I hate teams with a passion. As long as you have to work with more than one organization, nothing works whatsoever. You are constantly logged out, have to go through their stupid authenticator app, can't save a second login (only a private one, not an organization), links open in the wrong org (even if you are logged in), etc. etc.
I've reached the point where I use teams exclusively in Edge, alongside with Outlook, because both of their desktop apps are utter crap.
Github probably didn't receive a cease and desist yet, but I doubt they'll put up a fight against Nintendo.
I left my community of 12 years with >4M subs a year ago, when they killed the API. Without third party tools, my time modding had more than doubled. I spent almost as much time on reddit as I did on my full time job at some point.
Walking barefoot can help with better postures and alleviate back pain, but the same can be achieved with proper soles or shoe inlays.
These guys are probably just doing it for the clicks though... As if they'd have cut open their $20k shoe collection.
Leaving reddit was a good idea, joining Lemmy, I'm not so sure anymore.
The userbase here is not really diverse in itself, so the whole platform gets this large echo chamber vibe. And with "not diverse" I don't mean hostile or anything, just very homogeneous. Overwhelmingly left and far left on the political spectrum, embracing all things LGBT+, high nerd & tech factor; and if you don't belong to or identify with either of those factions, you get downvoted to oblivion, and worse yet, mod removed and banned for no factual reason.
What made reddit strong as a platform was that you had the right kind of diversity and a big enough userbase to not spiral out of control, unless the top management fucked up.
On Lemmy, instance admins are (or become) often the worst offenders, making any interactions with users on their instance tiresome, unless you regurgitate the same stuff that has been said there over and over and over again.
Not the OP, but I'm buying DRM free ebooks and software only, and for every album, movie or series I purchase, I'll download a pirated copy that I add to my offline storage + backup.
If a book I want is not available without DRM, I'll buy a hardcover and a pirated copy.
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
Ich habe am xx.yy.2023 in Klasse ABC ihrer Schule die Ausbildung zum XYZ erfolgreich abgeschlossen.
Leider findet sich auf den Zeugnissen sowohl ein Fehler in meinem Namen, als auch ein falscher Geburtsort.
Korrekt muss es heißen:
Name: Hans Wurst Geburtsort: Wurstdorf
Da ich mich mit den aktuellen Unterlagen nicht bewerben kann, bitte ich mit der gebührenden Dringlichkeit um Korrektur. Dem Zugang der Unterlagen seh ich bis spätestens 12.12.2023 entgegen.
Herzlichen Dank.
Gruß, Unterschrift
- und das ganze als Einwurfeinschreiben.
Same for DBS bank, also in Singapore. Their app, which is mandatory to generate login & transaction approval OTPs, doesn't even work on a stock OnePlus phone since it detects part of the OS as "modified".
Since I have to use that bank for my company, I had to buy a separate phone that's now sitting in my drawer 24/7 for that purpose alone.
Noise canceling headphones. I swear by the Bose Quiet Comfort series. Personally I still have the 25 model (with a third party Bluetooth dongle), that way when the battery dies I can simply swap it out, takes simple AAA ones.
Else I'd recommend to bring slippers to wear during the flight. Feet tend to swell up a bit, so wearing shoes is uncomfortable, and walking in socks as many people do is not exactly hygienic, especially in the bathroom (seriously, who does that???).
I'm also freezing easily, so I'll bring a thin scarf to protect my neck from the long exposure to low temperatures.
Lastly, have a set of fresh underwear, t-shirt and wet towels in your hand luggage, along with a toothbrush & paste and deodorant (make sure the volume is hand luggage capable). Then about 1.5h before landing, lock yourself in a bathroom (ideally the ones in the middle, they are a bit more spacious), strip naked, give yourself a through wash, change of clothes etc., and land arrive somewhat refreshed.
