  • As a (hopefully helpful) addition to this, any conversation you can’t have in Teams is a conversation you probably shouldn’t be having from a work network, to include any computer connected to a work VPN.

    It’s common practice to have a man in the middle proxy on work networks to decrypt https traffic for network traffic monitoring/filtering and packet inspection. On government networks, the logs and captured traffic are potentially subject to the same kinds of review.

    Be safe out there.






  • The last three bioware games or the last three mass effect games?

    Of Bioware’s last three games, Andromeda sucked, Anthem was an atrocity, but Veilguard was decent, not great like classic Bioware games, but it wasn’t bad, it was at least fun to play and had a decent story and characters.

    Of the last three Mass Effect games, Andromeda sucked, ME3 was great until the Horizon mission then it goes to absolute dog shit, and ME2 was great as a character driven RPG but feels a bit out of place in the franchise as a whole.

    Only in the latter case do I really see a true downward trajectory. In the former there’s a tentative upward trend in the quality of Bioware’s games.




  • There are a few optical storage mediums designed for long term archival storage. Like M-Disc or (as mentioned in the article) pioneers DM for Archive, both of which are still commercially available.

    And provided they’re stored properly, even more general consumer oriented optical media can easily last a few decades. Granted the environmental aspect of “proper storage” (<50% relative humidity, constant temp <80F and >50F) can be difficult to achieve at home in a lot of regions, but generally banks and credit unions have an option to get a safety deposit box which is generally in an environmentally controlled room. Other than that just store your media in an opaque single disc case.

    Absolutely, I don’t disagree with that.

    I was just sharing my anecdote as a counterpoint to your minor rhetorical point at the end, because at least to me, it’s funny since eating ice cream outside at -10 degrees is a ridiculous thing to do.

    Though, I will note that while ice cream won’t melt at those temperatures, at atmospheric pressure it will still sublimate. So, in that way you could still lose your ice cream without intervention, it would just take a while.

    I have eaten ice cream outside when temperatures were sub-zero Fahrenheit. It’s not something I do regularly but it’s happened and will probably happen again.

    If I want ice cream, then I want ice cream. No other considerations matter.

    Yes. The flame is a cloud of gas and particulate heated to the point that it glows. It will reflect light. Just not a lot, and it’s also emitting enough light to overpower any reflected light in most conditions.

    And of course the candle itself reflects light.
