What Are You Doing Right Now

Can't he?

We were discussing Chinese Gooseberries this morning which in the US are called kiwifruit as a marketing move to hide the fact that they are berries from import officials and to make them easier to sell in the US because Americans avoid things that have Chinese in the name. This worked and kiwifruit are rather popular in the US (and often mistakenly called kiwi instead of kiwifruit which is confusing because a kiwi is a bird or a New Zealander, not a fruit.)
So I made this analogy and Dominica was dying with this one...
Renaming a Chinese Gooseberry to kiwifruit and having it work is like shutting down American Thanksgiving because we had a political dispute with Turkey.

Good point.
That would be awesome if you could use that as a bluetooth earpiece.
I can. Waiting on the little doodad for it in the mail. It's like a necklace. I pair my phone up to the necklace, and then pair the necklace up to my implant.

Ok... this might just be on my end but literally every post is now bold.
-
Not here, just the one line.
-
Hmm, this is really weird. It isn't bold as I'm typing but when I post it the text changes. I'll clear my cache and see if that fixes anything.

Yea. But I'll be burning through my batteries at a crazy rate, lol. I usually burn through 2 of my implant batteries every 3-ish days.
Edit: These are the watch-sized "hearing aid" type batteries with just a little more oomph.

Oh wow, I didn't realize they died that fast. They need to make a kinetic one.

That would actually be an awesome idea... I wonder how that could be designed... I have an over the ear unit (looks just like a hearing aid to the uninitiated), so it can't be too heavy.

Ya it might be a challenge. However, if they can fit it into a watch, I'm sure it could be made a little smaller.

I think the problem there is supplying enough voltage for the movements... and making it smooth enough that the wearer doesn't hear the ticking sound of the gears turning stuff, lol.

Yay, weekend!

Hahah.. Funny thing is this reminds me of the style of internal training videos our Safety & Training department makes. (Music, Situations followed by the guy with the narrating and telling you what was wrong and then showing how it should have been done)

Question for @scottalanmiller -- You consider SSHing into a Network using ServerA, and then bouncing from ServerA to whatever server you need to connect to... And call it a Jump Box.
Do you consider the Microsoft RDS Gateway to be a jump box as well? (fork it off into a new discussion if you want)
-
@dafyre said:

Not really, it's a gateway more than a jump. The thing about a jump box is that you are hopping to the box THEN hopping somewhere else. With a gateway, you pass right through.
You often work from a jump box. You never work from a gateway, just through it.
-
If you reconfigured an SSH jump box to proxy connections directly to an inside machine, it would be a pure SSH Proxy rather than a jump box as well.

It's 5:30 and I just realized that I have not had a meal yet today. Might walk on over to Sonic.

ROFL. Eating is slightly important. Unless you're on a diet of air and light.
