“It struck me that, at least in theory, organ pipes should generate quite primitive sound waves. If so, how come a church organ doesn't sound like a chip tune, which is also built up from simple waveforms? Well, actually it will, if you remove the church. And if you connect a Commodore 64 home computer to a loudspeaker in a large hall, it will sound like an organ.”

A more ideal situation would be to have a much stronger password policy and practices, thus not needing the password to expire, but this is the way that it is..

We went with for a few reasons:
1. We hide all the little balloons from Windows 10 and there's no way to tell it not to hide the balloon about your password expiring.
2. We now have a ton of users with email on the work phones and they are getting locked out over the weekend when their password expires.
3. Boss didn't want to use email to inform because it looks too "phishy"

Wrote a little script about 3 years ago for work to notify users of passwords expiring(Windows AD) when they log in. Finally got approval to deploy from execs today. I've done a lot of tweaking to it over the last month, but it feels good to finally see the fruits of my labor.

@staticsafe I stopped using last pass when logmein got involved. The model requires a lot of trust in the service provider. Now I use https://www.passwordstore.org with the decryption key on a Yubikey.

It seems as you get older, you’re less likely to cry from physical pain, but more likely to cry from emotional pain.

There is no such thing as "nacho cheese", but clearly any cheese put on a nacho _becomes_ nacho cheese, so at any given moment you can fundamentally change the global understanding of nacho cheese by putting any arbitrary cheese on any arbitrary nacho. Brie? Paneer? Limburger? Cottage? There are no rules here. I have given you a new semiotic superpower. In the scope of all things "nacho" and "cheese" you are unstoppable, go forth and rend this narrow tex-mex world from its foundations.

Et tu, DMV?

"The California Department of Motor Vehicles is generating revenue of $50,000,000 a year through selling drivers’ personal information, according to a DMV document obtained by Motherboard."
