Possibly. But some people really need it spelled out.

No violence

No stealing

No billionaires

Kinda. I set my office hours in outlook, so people see if I’m available. I mostly don’t actually work at unusual times. But I can, if necessary. What’s more important is that I don’t answer work calls outside my hours, unless it’s one specific co-worker or I know in advance that a certain thing may require my attention.

I don’t understand how people can live like this and not consider emigration.

I have flexible hours. What it means is not that I’m reachable around the clock, but that I decide when I work and am reachable.

There are other types of value, of course. It’s just funny to specifically call the apple out for being a myth. The entire story is a myth, so they could have made it a pomelo for all I care.

What is “truth value” supposed to mean?

Great! Can’t have myths about random fruit in this otherwise totally valid, reasonable and trustworthy story about a woman that was made from a man’s rib and talked to reptiles.

The last time I had to troubleshoot windows I was running 98 or XP I believe.

Linux has limited marketshare because of its Marketing.

I think Linux has limited market share because “will software X work on it?” and “are there drivers for hardware Y?” are legitimate questions.

crazy carbon fiber, 5 gram mice with infinite dpi.

I firmly believe that it doesn’t actually matter that much outside of the .1% actual pro’s. But yeah, you have a point.

and now people don’t remember that playing a FPS with a controller was a thing nobody did because it sucked.

Why past tense? It still sucks.

they could steal your personal data without you knowing

Is that supposed to be more intimidating than corporations stealing my personal data with or without me knowing?

Which means tips up to minimum wage are just extra money in the bosses’ pocket.

Noob question:

Is there any advantage over my phone’s stock email client, considering 99% of my emails are confirmation emails from online shops and similar stuff and I hardly ever actually send an email to anyone or receive one from an actual person anymore?

Only 63%?

There are differences of course. Still, Steam’s policy, which is often internationally praised as consumer friendly, is very restrictive from a European perspective.

I can get faulty physical goods fixed/refunded by the store up to 2 years after purchase (EU). It’s the store’s problem to get a refund from the manufacturer. The same should be true in case of Valve and a publisher.

Whatever brother printer is on sale

Even in your example above, with only two letters, no numbers / special characters allowed, requiring a capital letter decreases the possibilities back to the original 676 possible passwords - not less.

No it doesn’t. It reduces the possibilities to less than the 52x52 possibilities that would exist if you allowed all possible combinations of upper and lower case letters.

You are confused because you only see the two options of enforcing or not allowing certain characters. All characters need to be allowed but none should be enforced. That maximizes the number of possible combinations.

that passwords should all require certain complexity, but without broadcasting the password requirements publicly?

No, because that’s still the same. An attacker can find out the rules by creating accounts and testing.
