Chel Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Just spent two hours involved with the school film crew to produce a cringy video. My part was being asleep while thieves broke in and stole some 'high tech gear' from the IT department Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Rocket Scientist Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I saw someone at school today with the same mechanical pencil as me: https://www.jetpens.com/Uni-Kuru-Toga-Advance-Mechanical-Pencil-0.5-mm-Black/pd/21019 These things are great by the way, they work well, it's hard to break the lead, and it really does keep the lead sharp. Also, that site is a terrible rabbit hole that makes you want to buy five 100$ pens that all are designed to outlive you, when you're already swimming in free ones: https://www.jetpens.com/blog/the-best-machined-pens/pt/973 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Phil Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Finished watching Steins;Gate today. It's... an experience. Starts out funny. Gets serious and funny. Then kind of goes all out funny in a few scenes in the last episode with some seriousness mixed in. Maybe I should become a mad scientist? Or would a mad engineer be more appropriate?

Geonovast Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I got a call from my mom. Mom: "I have a computer question. I don't think this is real, but I wanted to tell you just to make sure." Me: "Uh, ok." *Prepares my best 'Have you tried turning it off and on again?' voice* Mom: "I got two phone calls from Microsoft, they told me that my IP address had been hacked and that they need to give me a new one." Me: *Erupts laughing* Mom: "So this definitely isn't real, then." After a few minutes, I was able to stop laughing long enough to remind her that she doesn't even have any microsoft products in her house. She then mentioned that they'd spoofed her phone number.

WHO FALLS FOR THIS STUFF? Lots of people. Especially old people. They had a article in the local paper a while ago, local off-duty sheriff deputy was in line at Walmart, noticed that the old lady in front of him was buying a bunch of $100 Visa gift cards, got suspicious, started asking her some questions. Sure enough, she was falling for one of the IRS scam phone calls. Really wish there were a way to press a button and send high voltage shocks to people on the other side of a phone call. Not enough to kill them, just enough to make them rethink their life choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure how many people were phished by PwC to prepare one of their presentation, but they claimed a success rate of 100%. Other sources claim that at least 4% of those swindled get victimized again in under a year. Between the huge social media papertrails and the bank employees constantly selling data, no-one, and I mean no-one, is safe from social engineers. Tech-illiterate grannies are just the low-hanging fruit; even militaries can fall prey to convincing spear-phishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatastrophicFailure Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 This is neither interesting, nor funny. Once again, I’m getting paid my ridiculous government wage to sit on my duff and do nothing for 9.5 hours. Cuz this place still hasn’t recovered from 4 inches of snow last weekend. And then, this is coming tomorrow! I’m gonna be ticked if I don’t get to go drive in it. ಠ_ಠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate Steve Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Oh, also, my partner and I were taking apart a robot for a class yesterday. He looked somewhat humanoid (but with wheels) so we named him after me. As I'm taking apart something, I feel something suddenly hurt in my lower arm and wrist. I say "Ow!" and as it turns out, my partner happened to be disassembling the lower arm and wrist of the robot that was named after me at that very moment. Robot voodoo.

DDE Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Somebody commissioned Ansel Hsiao to create a 3D missile cruiser. Now, Ansel Hsiao is a freelancer that works (worked?) mostly for the old Star Wars technical manuals. Spoiler This, for example, is the most detailed model of a Gen 1 ISD to date, so you know this is the man to go for grizzly starships So what would happen if someone asked him to create a missile cruiser?
