Soft bricked VS Hard bricked. Agree that it would be nicer to be more precise in headline, but both are technically under Bricked category.

Regarding TOTP tokens, some time ago switched to Aegis app which allows token export in JSON which I store in Dropbox. I believe only thing that I would lose would be last photos that I have not backed up yet. And past Signal conversations which sometimes come useful.

But for regular folks losing access to phone indeed seems like nightmare scenario for 2FA. I think MS Authenticatior backed tokens to your OneDrive if you enabled it in settings. Often these less secure options are good tradeoff for usability.

Practically all my previous phones were either lost or stolen so it will be inevitable some day. Almost lost my current one year ago due to being drunk, luckily got it back.

Besides the MAC lookup suggestion, have you tried to simply find hostname in local DNS by reverse IP lookup, maybe that would shed some light.

Not sure if there is anything useful, but in browser just check site source, maybe there is something useful there that could help with identification. Does site have certificate? It might include info that would help with identification. Do the standard browser network trace via dev tools F12, maybe something useful appears there.

In nmap you can attempt to guess OS, try that. Additionally it might be possible to get hostname as well.

And have you checked your router to see if this connection is connected to your Wi-Fi AP or Ethernet to narrow things down? If it is not possible to determine this from router, simply connect your main PC to Ethernet, disable AP in router settings and check if IIS site is still up. If it is not, enable AP again, does it come back early or it takes some time?

Lastly, if it still is a mystery, start powering off devices one by one to find the source. Based on comments it seems you have multiple devices, but I assume it would not take that long?

No idea what kind of level prioritising is meant, but all governments should provide benefits to children since any country needs their population to be healthy and not decline. You want young working able people to replace old population so that there are enough workers and taxpayers to keep country going.

It affects those that are working for the aggressor country. There are many of Russian descent still working in CERN:

All relations between CERN and Russian and Belarusian institutions will cease as of these dates. Relations continue with scientists of Russian or Belarusian nationality otherwise affiliated with CERN.

The Council reaffirmed that all the decisions it has taken to date in light of the ongoing military invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation with the involvement of the Republic of Belarus, along with the actions undertaken by the CERN Management, remain in force.

.

What are those ‘reasons’?

Biggest attempt to destabilise Europe since WW2?

Good article, but does not seem fitting. It′s about bunch of uneducated assholes making threats due to the fact that country from which they originated from is currently the aggressor. Same happened to Iraqis in USA for example.

Obviously closer issues will take priority over what happens further away. Same how East probably cares more about their situation than what happens in Ukraine.

That should not be read as lack of empathy for others, Israel government for example currently should be treated the same way Russia is.

It’s kind of logical to currently try to cut ties with a country that is causing destabilisation of whole Europe. Expecially if all that should be done to stop this is for Russia to just move out. Don’t see it happening any time soon since they have poured too many resources in already.

Have any data to back up western Europe has unproportiomal prejudice against Russians when compared to other nationalities? We currently have issues with Russian government and those that support it for obvious reasons, but this apparent hate of Russians is fantasy.

My comment was about CERN cutting ties with Russia, but not Russian nationailty. This idea that western Europe hates Russians is a propoganda, it is the Russian government that we currently have problems with for obvious reasons.

CERN doesn’t care about invasions and warfare in the slightest

Looks like they do at least for this one:

All relations between CERN and Russian and Belarusian institutions will cease as of these dates. Relations continue with scientists of Russian or Belarusian nationality otherwise affiliated with CERN.

The Council reaffirmed that all the decisions it has taken to date in light of the ongoing military invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation with the involvement of the Republic of Belarus, along with the actions undertaken by the CERN Management, remain in force.

Termination is due to Russian government not scientists being of Russian nationality.

Marsollier estimates that around 90 scientists have moved from Russian to non-Russian institutions since 2022

Removed by mod

There are phones with jack that are IP68. Here are phones with this setup that are from 2022 or newer.

Doubt there is any conspiracy. Headphone jack was probably removed to cut cost since wireless earbuds were becoming popular and majority of users did not mind. It annoyed me at first as well, but once I went with BT earbuds and headset, I cannot imagine going back to wired except when stationary on PC. Battery life is 30 or so hours and I do not thing I have ever had problems with connection.

Only thing that worries me is that your earbuds probably are an e-waste once battery no longer can hold a charge. That said my current earbuds are basically destroyed even though their battery still is fine.

While decentralised systems can be useful it will not be the future. Initially everything was decentralised and then we moved to centralised systems because they are easier to manage, easier to secure, cheaper. The main benefit for decentralisation is that you are not tied to single organization that dictates all the rules. If reddit would have better management, I would move back.

I am pretty sure this was being taught for maybe 1 day in 1st grade after you learn about numbers. For first grader learning analogue clock probably is also a fun activity.

Doubt it, because we have ″Microsoft Government″

I don’t get the point. So instead of voting, we should hope for some lovely dictator that takes power and hope everyone in country loves that person? What′s the alternative? Just because change of government doesn’t magically fix all the problems does not mean you should not vote.

It was shit. Once Edge changed to Chromium it actually became a viable option and in my opinion made Chrome irrelevant in business environment.

Chromium browsers are good. I personally prefer Firefox, but Chromium is alright.

If that’s all there is, it sounds like you just need good legal and marketing department and someone who is attractive to deliver their script.

It’s often either mentality or high workload. Higher pay will not help in these situations. There are bad corporations and also bad workers.
