No we're not OK

I remember in grade school my district had a system where everyone who bought anything at the cafeteria went through an internal "type in your ID to the pin pad" system. Internally, the computer would decide whether the student was charged against their account or if it did a discount/free. This was how they dealt with that.

Not on all vendors tho - coloring was an optional part of the standard. Dell often uses grey for USB3

If you're trying to get Lemmy to print the backslash, you need to make it a double backslash since backslash is an "escape" character that means "ignore any special formatting meaning of the next character" (among other meanings)

You'd be surprised. My mouse only needs 2.0, but uses a C connector for compatibility. It provides an A to C cable with only 2.0 wiring, which is a decision I assume they made to allow the wire to be more flexible as it can be charged during use or used entirely wired.

Where I went to college, they probably didn't directly have the key, that'd have to go through maintenance. But one of the things you signed on to initially was for maintenance to enter if they needed to while you were out.

Plus, at least half of the WAPs were actually in rooms and not hallways, so to service the network beyond IDF problems they'd have to get in

Dude, in every panel of this Santa's targets appear to not want to be touched. Santa needs to learn that and go away. He crossed a line.

This is true of a even some public universities in the US. I can't remember if it was a rule where I was, but definitely most freshman did just live in dorms.

Lot of folks brought their own desktops to set up, and we were allowed Ethernet switches to hook up multiple devices - had to be wired. Wireless had two options, WPA# 802.1X or unencrypted captive portal guest. If your device didn't support that, it had to be wired by policy.

And they weren't wrong, I did a radio scan and they had the full sized enterprise access points about as good as they could (with a few low signal exceptions, and the air waves were still overloaded with too many people. The building uplink was perfectly fine, it was just overcrowded wireless.

If it's a dorm they have the key.

I'm an American android user and I'm confused too. At least in my area, contactless is pretty ubiquitous now. (I accept adoption is slower, but it's getting there)

Sure Apple Pay seemed to come to a lot of terminals first, but NFC Google wallet or whatever it is the phone does automatically I've only seen fail at certain terminals. In that rare case, usually someone behind me with Apple Pay often also fails, so I'd be more likely to attribute it to a system glitch rather than lack of support.

The fact that the bulb is offset to the left of the stairs throws me off

Like, either have it all the way to one side or centered, it feels like it's trying to be both

Cool picture tho :)
