"Parent" is insensitive to orphans. And now that I think of it, what are we doing about widows and orphans? C:-)

In that case, I'd contact the FBI. They handle a lot of child porn crap so that's an in, especially with the China connection. He'll probably get a lot more of the same because the crooks will sell his info to others.

I got three scam e-mails today, each telling me I won something from somebody. The only interesting one would have been a wet/dry vac from Home Depot.

Around Christmas I got a lot of those telling me my account with somebody would be cut off. I didn't have an account with any of them. Then there are the ones telling me about my order for a $7,000 watch from Amazon and stuff. I got one of those last week with a change. They usually have a button to click to cancel the order or something. This one said it wasn't cancellable. Had to call some phone number. Yeah, right.

People ought to spend less time on Facebork and more time reading a few articles to educate themselves on what not to fall for on the internet.

Quote from: DigiCorn on May 07, 2024, 10:41:14 AMI am doing an implicit bias training course online right now, and I DO realize the insensitivity behind MASTER pages, but that's what CWS calls them. They really need to change the name the name to SHELL or do like InDesign and change it to PARENT.
WELCOME to my hell!!!
Trying to explain big data concepts to people is killing me ... I do NOT know them but have seen so much this year, I pretty much have the Parent/Child/Master thing for printing sorted out, to where it hasn't failed after multiple challenges.
I may be wrong, but until someone can show me that ...


I hate people this week ... maybe next week I'll hate them more/less.

Quote from: DigiCorn on May 07, 2024, 04:30:56 PMIf you're that stupid to fall for, "buying gift cards," then you deserve to get swindled. Let's think about this logically... you know you didn't do anything wrong, and let's say someone did remote into your iPad... what site were you on that allowed the attacker to gain access? Maybe you're NOT so innocent after all...

$15,000? Hell no. I'd take my iPad to ewaste for shredding, and for $600 I'd buy a new one.

If I were really paranoid I'd go buy a new router with a VPN and configure my devices to connect through the VPN. I do that anyways so I can get out of market sports, or watch local teams that got blacked out.
I wouldn't say they are that stupid but they just don't understand how things work. They got the guy by claiming:

"They have downloaded a $15,000 charge for a child porn site out of China. That immediately got my attention," said Mandle.

Mandle has no criminal record and says he didn't have any pictures or videos like that on his iPad. Mandle did not want that on his computer or record.

"I could get in a lot of trouble. That's what still sucked me in," he said.

Just gullible.

Quote from: DigiCorn on May 07, 2024, 10:49:21 AMI got an email recently; an invoice from PayPal saying that my payment was declined. Obviously it was phony, because I don't have a PayPal account. I have told the old people in my life to ignore all of that stuff. Who's still falling for these scams?

I once had an Italian-American boss who claimed to be offended by Burger King's Whopper.

when I was younger and was called a Prepress Manager...

they changed our titles to Supervisor because of the word "Man" was derogatory to women.



this was back when sexual harrasment was all the rage (it was the anti programs we all had to go through for our Management Training). 
Very similar to what you are having to sit through Digi.
