I think the GP more meant the practice that some ISPs have of shipping default routers that may or may not be able to be replaced with a separate SSID that is publicly available for use by other customers of that ISP.

Not "my network has a default or empty password, I can't make people sign in again."

Is that really a thing? My ISP gives me a router that takes an SSID/password by default (that it gets back to if I reset to defaults) but I can change it any time as well as other parameters (like channels, wether WPS is activated, etc).

Buy a crap router (or find one in the trash), dont connect it to anything, set open wifi, tv connects to the black hole, sorta poor mans pi-hole

Would it detect the lack of Internet and try another one?

There's also clip(.exe) on every version of Windows I've bumped into recently.

Yes, based on previous experience with this sort of delisting happening.

1 in 1,000,000 (or something) folk can't get past typing CLI commands in haiku form.

That doesn't mean there's any sense in adapting terminals for haiku usage.

Absolutely a tongue-in-cheek example, but "there's something for everyone" doesn't mean that something is something everyone should implement.

There's also a fantastic plugin specifically for the Steam Deck that adds a bunch of excellent functionality.

Also frustrating when a company adds it after you register, e.g. Spotify allowed me to use spotify@ at one point, now I can't register anything with that word in .

I feel like that ChainsawMassacre channel on YouTube is an example of what happens when The Brand attempts to lengthen their content.

I feel like there's a distinction between _learning something_ from reading a book and remembering plot details.

I am awful at remembering names and characters from books. I'm all good while I'm reading them, but if you asked me "What did you think of John's situation in $BookX" I would find it hard to answer. That said, it all goes into the gestalt jumble of ideas that is me.

I'll say that I mostly read comparitively low-effort fiction that people rarely "test me" on, so it possibly matters less.

If that backstory was not interesting to that person it is likely they will forget immediately after reading. I mean, your own premise is that you forgot too, the stare is hostile because they know the exercise is dishonest.

Nope, it was a very nice positive meet of 8-9 people and I had no goals or agendas, I simply asked because it was long time ago for me. The person projected very hard and I realized I struck a nerve post factum. It was a classic case of being misinterpreted due to the other person's own insecurities.

Yow, I hadn't realised that twist. Having just read the JetBrains documentation around it, I don't like that.

It's worth noting that this feature is available, but the recent Windows issue [reportedly] ignored it.
