The same reason why oranges are pentagons, I suppose.
Wow I haven’t posted in forever.
No, I’m not dead. I’ve just been busy with college starting up and all. I should get back to drawing once I get my schedule all figured out.
*boops everyone*
Woooo college.
In which I reuse a gag that I haven’t used in forever so no one remembers it! 8U
Random question. If birds spoke any real human language, what would it be?
#justnonconfrontationalthings:
- when they get your order wrong somewhere but you’re so overly sympathetic to the plight of food service work you take the coffee that you did not want and thank them bc the thought of making someone’s job difficult will make you lose sleep
- being with someone who does make note of when things aren’t to their liking (getting seated at a table in a restaurant they don’t want & requesting to move) and getting panicky as fuck that the wait staff thinks you’re the biggest inconvenience in the world and hate u/ spending all meal being embarrassed on behalf of the person making the imposition
It’s near impossible to tell my parents that maybe, just maybe, I might be depressed and should seek help.
Mostly because they don’t believe in depression. They think that people could will it away and they’re unwilling to pay for a therapist for whatever reason.
Telling them would just make everything worse and I think I’ll just have to wait it out until I move away.
new aesthetic: man covered in cacti, surrounded by confused police
I don’t understand this aesthetic.
neither do the police
The post-crusade update is done! ;2;
But it’s a bit late soooo I’ve queued for later in the afternoon.
Guh. This Wi-Fi Sense crap is confusing when the argument for it doesn’t tell me exactly how it works. So I took the liberty of reading an FAQ about it and well, here we go.
You invite a Skype friend over to your house, covered with a Wi-Fi connection with a password the length of the Articles of Confederation.
Both of you have Windows 10 devices, doesn’t matter which kind.
You want to share you network access with your buddy without having to dig out that dumb post-it. So here’s where Wi-Fi Sense comes to work.
You have to turn it on yourself. Then allow it to share the network you’re connected to to your contacts (Skype, Outlook, Facebook). So what happens now? Here’s the iffy part:
The password is sent to a Microsoft server in an encrypted file (so they say :v). Then they send it (still encrypted and over a secure connection, so they say :v) to your buddy’s devices.
If your friend has Wi-Fi Sense on and allows it to connect to a network shared with Sense, and also is in range of said network, then they can connect without needing to copy your password. Just to note, they’re only given internet access. Any locally shared files or printers on your net are still invisible.
If you turn Sense off, then the password stops streaming around and your friends can no longer connect.
So in short.
Yes, you’re sharing your password with people you choose with Wi-Fi Sense turned on and activated. And also with Microsoft itself. The password is supposedly encrypted so neither party theoretically can’t see it.
Compare it to typing your password into a login screen. That text is, hopefully, encrypted and sent over the air to the company’s servers and responds back with access granted. Only this time, it’s giving approved people access, namely your friends, if they’re around.
Again, only with people you choose and only if you turn it on. None of this “sharing with absolutely everyone behind your back” sensationalism.
It’s pretty darn convenient if you ignore the whole middleman thing. If any of this makes you feel a little uneasy, then perhaps you should turn it off.
