Well the only way to damage them would be to screw them out of business. ANd I have no way of doing that.

It sounds as though the client is being damaged already. They couldn't afford you, so they're getting stuffed with a worse team for an inferior service (or product?) and if where you work has a grapevine between similar places, they could even be marking that company as hazardous to do business with amongst friends.

What do you work in? It sounds vaguely like software.

It's an ISP. The service is third party Technical support.

So, I get a letter a few weeks back saying my bank is sending a new card my way with that memechip in it instead of a normal card

They cancelled my current card yesterday and the new one didn't arrive until today, which was a bit of a pain in the ass

by **Ricotez** » Sat Jul 09, 2016 1:51 am #194151

Does it have an RFID tag in it? If so, welcome to the Internet of Things.

by **Malkevin** » Sat Jul 09, 2016 1:59 am #194154

Welcome to getting your card cloned by a passing romanian

by **Ricotez** » Sat Jul 09, 2016 2:03 am #194155

RFID tags are protected against that.

Or supposed to, anyway.

so due to my top incisors being thin due to acid digestion or whatever i dont really know how it happened i had to get the dentist to fix my shit up.

it involved structural reinforcement of the back of the front teeth using something i dont really know what but its probably a polymer. anyway, it feels weird and like it could fall off any moment and im fucking being super careful with eating everything even though i probably dont need to. the dentist also did a pretty poor job in making the two front incisors even on the back. the left one is thicker and actually goes to the bottom of the tooth whilst the right one ends just slightly before the bottom and doesnt feel as thick.

50 pounds per tooth for THIS???

i also nearly fucking chocked to death when he was putting the shit on my teeth due to his assistant not fucking scooping up the saliva that was being collected in my gob. you know when you swallow and it doesn't quite go right and you really want to cough but you're like in an exam or what have you and you don't want to make any noise but it REALLY, REALLY, fucking hurts and you REALLY REALLY need to cough to the point that it brings tears to your eyes?

yeah i had that for about half the fucking operation fuck my face

they're not protected against someone shoving a point-of-sale terminal in a backpack, setting it to a smallish transaction, and walking down a train platform though

Point-of-sale terminals have a very very small active range, so you'd need to rub the backpack up to people's wallets and then still hope there aren't any other tags interfering. You could mess with the hardware to boost the power (which is extremely hard in itself but doable if you're really good), but a tag can detect when it is being read from a large range... Though not reliably so, especially the cheaper passive tags that are in bank cards.

But once a large number of people notice the strange transactions in their bank records and inform their bank, that bank will naturally launch an investigation. The money has to be transferred somewhere, after all.

by **Ricotez** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 11:54 am #194556

You have blocker tags, which simulate a large number of tags at the same time to cause so much noise that no reader can read any tags on your body... or any other body within several dozen feet of you. You also have RFID proxies, which regulate all communications between your tags and any reader you want to use them on, but you need to 'register' all tags you want to use it with and those tags have to be designed to be used with a proxy. Finally there's the RFID Guardian, a project that was in development for a few years but has been postponed for now, which combined both of these into one device to provide your own personal RFID shield.

The technology exists for a large part and in theory it is possible. It just has to be actually developed.

Found out from my dad my mom's been drinking heavily as fuck and mixing ambient with it. My dad doesn't want me to but I'm thinking I might need to confront her about it. I've been down that road a few times with painkillers, booze, benzos, and ambient and the only place its ever lead me is a psyche ward after I tried to blow my brains out. I don't want to see her make the same mistakes I did.

by **DemonFiren** » Mon Jul 11, 2016 8:54 am #194795

Jesus fuck.

Pretty much same happened to my sister about one, two years ago.
Keep a close eye, and good luck.

Now while we joke about it and see many examples in fiction, the quest for Artificial Intelligence is a very real thing.

With how things are today we're reaching a point where we may finally discover how to create such a thing. However, as a layman, I've come to the conclusion that we may not be responsible enough as a species to have this new life and have it Not immediately want to kill us.

AI is probably one of the most dangerous things that we can develop and I hope, dear fucking LORD I hope that governments actually get their shit together and regulate it because right now it's the fucking wild west and anything and everything can and will happen.

am I an adult yet?

by **EndgamerAzari** » Tue Jul 12, 2016 4:41 pm #195045

Not until you apply for over 100, never hear anything back, and have your parents accuse you of not trying hard enough.

Then you become a fat alcoholic.

Just remember that metabolism slows down with age!

I'm starting to think that adulthood is a lie anyway, the kids just get bigger and get to make up the rules because who's going to stop them?

I like the Bear Grylls the Island show because the idea of fucking off to an island somewhere and living off the land appeals to me.

Yeah.... give it about ten years of working for shit cunts and getting stressed out all the time. See how your metabolism is then.

Bojack is one of those shows that keeps you laughing so you don't break down in tears. You've gotta have the right combination of a dark sense of humor and an absolutely despondent outlook on life to like it. I enjoy it, but it might be a little too... real for some.

He said of a show with talking animals.

by **Timbrewolf** » Tue Jul 12, 2016 8:16 pm #195089

Bojack is the best televised program I've ever seen, from any country, animated or otherwise.

The first two episodes of the first season are a bit rough, the sense of humor and pacing for the story aren't quite there, but afterwards the show falls into place and goes places.

It'll make you feel like shit. It'll make you feel shitty about feeling shitty. It'll make you laugh at how shitty you feel, then feel shitty for laughing. It perfectly captures some of the essence of what being an adult in modern society feels like.
