I just found out why Windows would see my phone but utterly refused to copy any files, and WMP wouldn't even acknowledge its existence at all when trying to sync music. Apparently the default setting, which I didn't even know existed, is to allow the USB port to be used for changing only, and disallow data transfer of any kind.

@Rhywden Still waiting why, you cunt.
I'm not seeing how I am obliged on answering any of your questions, considering that you were dodging plenty of mine in the other thread which you insisted on dragging in here.
I suspect, however, that you simply didn't understand the questions. Whereas I'm deliberately deciding on what to answer and what not.

Just got a really phishy looking email from Spotify telling me to change my password because:
we believe it may have been compromised during a leak on another service with which you use the same password
You shouldn't know what it is, guys.
Was it sent shortly after you logged in?
Maybe the compromise was posted online, and they compared the posted hashed against the hashed password they have, and they match.
Which means they aren't salting the password.
Which just goes back to the original statement of "You shouldn't know what it is, guys."

No, it doesn't. Do you need the salt to login in their service?

Status: Just started Week 5 (or 6?) of my running regime of 3 miles twice a week, run half/walk half because I'm out of shape, and today was the first time I didn't feel like calling for an ambulance at the end. My arrhythmia is practically non-existent for the first time in years (less than 20 noticed PVCs each day when I used to have thousands).

Or the compromise was posted online, and they compared the posted plaintext to the hashed password.
Or they took your plaintext password from login and compared it to a posted hash.
Or they're stored in plaintext.
Any of those options are equally possible.

John Ringo as in the military sci-fi author? Grumpy looking conservalibertarian who writes about 13 year old girls going full sociopath and slaughtering millions and of zombies? And Mary Sue's himself into personally owning there entire solar system's defensive capability after a disastrous first contact? And wrote a massive series that boils down to Starship Troopers vs. The Zerg? And another one that's basically Hard SF Stargate?
Had an opinion about Pokémon?
Did I ?
Edit: Googled it and... Yeah. That is in fact what I figured his only possible input could be.
Sooo... People who are tired of Pokemon Go... Just stop reading.
TO ALL VETERANS AND ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY PLAYING THIS STOOOOPID GAME:
Pokemon is great for getting people out walking and socializing. Biking and running even.
But there's nothing for upper body.
Vet and Active Duty Challenge:
Every time you catch a pokemon, DROP AND GIVE ME...
TEN in the case of Veterans. We did our schtick and we don't NEED to be in shape anymore.
TWENTY, YOU YOUNG PUKES... if you're current active duty.
Feel free to substitute sit-ups or pullups if there's equipment nearby.
But time to work some abs and uppers, people.
If you've got heart issues, go slow with this at first and don't feel like you have to drop for EVERY pokemon. (I skipped a couple when my c chest started to get tight. Could have just been humidity and asthma but better safe than sorry.)
OTOH, I just did more push-ups in thirty minutes than I've done since I got out of the 82nd. And nearly leveled up!

Me and my wife had a mutual friend, he was a very nice guy. About 4 years ago, he got graduated and told us he is going to his parents farm until he finds a job and pays all his loans, and until then will even sell the phone and will not be reachable. He still wanted to keep his ATVs that he liked a lot. We did not hear anything from him, kind of assumed he has moved on in life, perhaps found a job and moved to another state. Not answering phones or emails, or anything.
Until last week, my wife met his mother in a mall. Our friend had an ATV accident 4 years ago and had died :--( My wife was devastated, I am still thinking about it. Fuck life

With no salt, I can say that TDWTFFunctions.Hash("hunter2") == RandomJoeSiteFunctions.Hash("hunter2").
So if I have your unsalted hashed password, I can tell if it was leaked on another site that stores unsalted hashed passwords.
I SHOULDN'T have this information, because I should be storing your password salted and hashed.

Had an opinion about Pokémon?Yes, Oh John Ringo No is who I was talking about. But I didn't see what you quoted from FB. This is what I was referring to: http://www.chattanoogapulse.com/columns/nine-hours-to-change-the-world/
When I’m bad, the phone never gets answered, nor emails, nor…anything. I live in another world, a better one, where I’m not having to cope with…Life. Until Pokémon Go. The last couple of weeks have been revolutionary. I’ve had various heart “issues” for the last few years. Mostly arrhythmia. It’s not actually a “treatable” arrhythmia, it’s a lifestyle thing. Gone.

Status:
Fuck this shit. A certain problematic client is throwing tantrums as well. No idea how legit it is because getting any reliable info from them is damned near impossible. And now I'm expected to call them and discuss this shit with them. And I'm not talking calling some tech or someone on site, but some C-level.
The fuck am I supposed to do, I'm not authorized to make any financial decisions, and what the fuck is the use of trying to discuss technical details with them when they don't even use the thing? Not to mention I'm swamped with actual work anyway, and if I have to do anything else for them it's going to fuck up what little semblance of a schedule I have right now...
I'm seriously sick of this shit.

Ok, the first part is all kinds of wrong, but you can think of what the original devs would call "legitimate" reasons.
But... emails stored both as original and lowercase? WHAT? So they know how to lowercase things to store them in the DB like that, but they can't just apply it as needed and just store the original?

Well we can be tied into salesforce or we can have a vendor independent version that we can roll out to everyone and charge more for. It's unlikely that we can make them communicate with each other though.

Status: Okay, so, since I was just about to the last boss in Cyber Sleuth, it unlocked the 'Great Challenge's, which are a series of fights with really crazy enemies, which you can become if you beat. I was doing fine until I reached Duftmon, because he does party-wide high damage Light/Data attacks, and my team has gravitated toward Vaccine Digimon. He basically does 1shot party wipes even if I'm at max level.
So I looked through my Virus types and grabbed SkullGreymon, LadyDevimon, and Vamdemon. Vamdemon looks like he'll do well, since I should be able to get Pieromon fairly soon, but SkullGreymon can't become his next Virus form easily, because his int is way too low, and LadyDevimon is going to be fusing into Mastemon - and of course will be Vaccine afterward, which means I'll need to rely on the others.
