Same, although I haven't seen this one for a while now. One way to fix the misbehaving explorer (which start menu, tray and others are part of) is to simply kill it and start it over from the task manager. Some applications failed to r

Normally I do that too, but this was fairly new and internal application that was still in development, so that's why it was there. And if it wasn't for this incident, they might actually trick our management into thinking they&#x

I've seen worse. Couple years back, there was an audit that included an internal system I've been working on. It was running on Debian oldstable because of a vital proprietary library I wasn't able to get working on stable at

You can take full control over the routing using router script, then none of the default rules will apply. To be honest, I really dislike how many applications are wired around some Apache configuration or at least assume some specific host

I used LD_PRELOAD for patching RCE vulnerability in PunkBuster[0]. They did patch the exploit, but that didn't involve many of the older games they dropped support for. The AC itself isn't effective or even operational for the mos

I thought this was the Passwordless account they implemented (EDIT: didn't realize you weren't talking about the Authenticator app), but I had it turned off. I somehow managed to make it stop by re-enabling/re-disabling both

Yeah, that must have been my collegue. Usually he was in charge of implementing all the new stuff, because he was able to deliver fast. And then I had to refactor, or usually just rewrite and redesign the whole thing, because it was immedia

That caught my attention too. Right now, the cheapest option out there still seems to be getting a dumbphone and a few pre-paid SIM cards. Sadly, pre-paid cards are no longer an option in many EU countries. Even just the least expensive SMS

Sure, but then VPN might be just as problematic unless it's a one that's not provided by a known VPN company. My point is that VPN is just a way to proxy your traffic to somewhere else and hide the content (but not its existence!)

Someone else had the IP assigned, then, or you're behind some sort of NAT with someone else. The ISP very likely holds a record of which device had a particular address assigned at any given time. At where I live, addresses are usually

I don't have nearly as large sample size, but all the games I used to play on XP work fine on W10. And I don't think I've used the compatibility mode, ever. Actually yes, C&C Red Alert 2 was running slow, but the communit

To my fake name (from family and friends), anything official goes to the mailbox at my real address to which I have access to. But that rarely happens thanks to e-government. Because of presumed delivery, there's no benefit in receivin

Not OP, but one thing I do is having a fake name on my mailbox and doorbell. I figured my neighbours don't need to know, and parcel services don't care. I don't legally live on that address, so that helps. I also try to keep
