Given that VPNs are also used as a secure gateway for remote employees to access resources on a corporate LAN, along with site-to-site bridging for entire remote offices…
Yeah, banning VPNs is a good way to kill a lot of extremely valuable IT infrastructure.
Best risk-free option to screw with ICE is take a page from Schlock Mercenary. Help people know where ICE agents are going to be, so they can arrange to not be there.
Start or join one of those LoRa mesh networking groups, and feed them info on ICE activity.
You tried the usual tools, found they were insufficient, and subsequently made a workaround for your needs. That last bit alone is more enough. Most people stop at “It didn’t work” and give up saying computers are too hard.
I always say, if your problem looks like a nail and can be held like one, don’t force yourself to use a frozen chicken breast. Grab the hammer.
Replace the screen with a VR headset and a bottle of warm gluhwein, and that’s my evening. Enjoying virtual fireworks with friends, getting drunk, and not having to worry about driving home afterwards.
That’s just bureaucracy in general. Left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing, until it receives an after action report, signed in triplicate, two months after that knowledge stopped being useful.
That’s awful.
I’m saving this for the next time I’m showing off Resonite’s capabilities to new users. Because you very much can turn a canoe into a hat.
Uh-huh. Sure.
I’ll get right on that, as soon as you can explain exactly how the singular genitive declension of the Latin word Dēus has literally any bearing whatsoever on office policies.
There’s the upcoming Slate trucks, but those are scheduled for Q4 2026. And… also probably going to be US exclusive for a bit. Oof.
I bet $20 ICE also didn’t do any of the requisite licensing to use that music either.
Start filing the DMCA takedown requests. For once, they’ll be used for their intended purpose.
No thanks, I already have a boyfriend. Can I pepper ball them instead?
I wonder if we’ll ever get enough standardization across EVs so people can start doing the electric equivalent of an LS swap.
I could see this being done on a Slate truck, along with an auxiliary EV battery bolted in the back.
See if I can hook it into SteamVR and launch Resonite in there.
Might need some virtual controllers to do menu button stuff, but that should be easy.
Dang, nothing near where I live.
I’d also add the argument of, “Don’t stare into the abyss, lest we become the monsters we’re denouncing.”
Huh, and I thought that was only for the os activation, but no. ESU support is right there, under the TSForge activation method.
Given that you’re using this for a laptop, you’re looking for a monitor. Not a TV.
Anything suitable for office work should be good here.
Listen mate, the fact that you’re even reading instructions at all instead of chucking the technical stuff aside, or trying to force some unlucky family member to be tech support, puts you miles above most of the people I’ve dealt with.
I had one guy demand I physically come down to his desk for an issue that was “blocking an important report”. It was literally just Windows asking if he wanted to overwrite an old file.
For those who want to see what happens if you actually do this…
…It’s a constitutional violation so blatant it makes you wonder if Bailey got his law degree from a cereal box.
Absolutely savage. I love it.
The article doesn’t specify, and corporate VPNs can be configured for either full tunnel or ‘only tunnel LAN’, depending on if they need external users subjected to the internal firewall.
And besides, distinguishing between corporate and internet proxy VPN would require effort from whoever ends up enforcing this. Neither law enforcement nor ISPs are going to do that, as it would reduce this new revenue stream of ‘fines for all anomalously constant TLS traffic.’
