Came back to drop a link (sorry for the delay) and it seems others have already provided it. Dropping it here again just because it's an amazing talk by an amazing dude that was taken too soon.

Excellent point! Yet another reason why Linux isos should always be torrented!

You'd be surprised how insecure they are (or were) from the non-physical side. Check out Barnaby Jack's talk from DefCon 18 (Jackpotting Automated Teller Machines Redux).

Less that the meme is older than them, probably more so they don't realize why we torrent Linux iso's.

I can pull down an ISO in seconds over torrent, whole it takes minutes over https. Also it's nice to add some of the good stuff to the traffic, if only to pad all the illegal traffic with some legitimate stuff.

I was the IT guy for a company in Georgia (USA). Despite the fact I was the only IT guy and handled our SQL databases/Exchange/AD/firewalls/etc (all the way down to punching down new phonelines for headsets going back to the dialer), I recieved 0 days PTO (sick time or other). I was paid $15.50/hr and dealt with insane shit that made me question my morals, but when it's do thing x or not feed your son, you'll do some stuff.

Thankfully I don't work there anymore, but yeah, if time off isn't mandatory, a lot of companies don't offer it.

Someone tried to send me a picture they took and it looked like hot garbage until they sent it over email. Not because it couldn't be sent without feeding it through a potato first, because Apple wants a worse experience for anyone not in their ecosystem.

When they are the oddball in the group though, it just makes iPhone's look like a worse option.

Some employees create sym links in their OneDrive folder back to other folders... Instant VC for all those pesky junk files
