@Tsaukpaetra I read some time ago an article about birds, not sure which species, but I think it was some corvid, that learned to use cigarette butts as a disinsectant (disacariant?). Sounds like some gulls learned the same trick, and then learned they get a lot more tobacco leaves in one swoop if they steal the cigarette directly from the smoker—while the discarded butts are mostly that useless filter, so they need to pick a lot of them for the same effect.

Microsoft should at least have the decency to provide an NTSC compatible color scheme like Commodore did!

@LaoC Does it matter? It's still never the same colour.

@dcon would've been funnier to put the trolley on the sack barrow.

@dcon The real question is if they put the trolley back. Decency > Intelligence

I love it when updated content reminds me how non-updated places are.
Someone dressed as a printer technician came in and took a photo of some documents that had come in on the fax machine while I was on lunch break. My office is in a secure area. Lesson learned: don't leave documents unattended.
How about, don't have paper at all? Or phacks muhtchines?

"That's a trick question. A secure area should not contain any device connected to a non-encrypted, public network, such as a fax machine."

@Zerosquare Would you say someone needs to put up barriers for fax machines?

Heh. Memories.

And secure documents probably shouldn't be sent by fax.

What? Shirley you've heard, they're super secure because they're point to point! Only thing more secure is hand delivery! /sarc

I would have suggested that fax is probably more secure than email at this point if only because plenty of people have no fucking clue what a fax machine is.

Some people dressed as technicians arrived with a delivery van near a shop, and stole the luminous advertising while employees of that shop just continued their work.
Things happen. ....

I doubt this actually happened. Since a single random incoming document would probably not have much value to a spy, the logistics of the impostor going to all of that trouble and being able to photograph a specific document that would have value to the spy seems minute.

Welcome to most modernst country in the worldz!I'll be the contrarian here: Faxes are pretty secure. At least they don't have spying sysadmins, etc.

Plenty of companies use email/fax gateways, thus getting all the security of faxes combined with all the security of emails.

Not sure if this is a troll. Wouldn't that be the insecurities of both?

@Mason_Wheeler I have a half Centronics printer cable in my cable stash. I've no idea what I might do with it; I've literally no equipment that it could connect to.

@dkf and if you throw it out, 2 weeks later someone is going to ask you if you have such a cable.

I think I still have a SCSI cable...
edit: <looks> Yup.
-
@Zerosquare This particular cable is probably older than that, but not much older as I don't think I had anything that would have meant owning such a cable much before 1989 (as I think it was for a robotics project that I shelved when I found I didn't have the time to write the driver code for the Centronics port).

I am skeptical about the phrase "dressed as a printer technician".
WTF does that even mean?
-
@Gern_Blaanston Good question. I have seen a printer repairman who wore a suit (I thought he was an employee I saw him so much), but I bet there are some who wear some kind of uniform.
Plus if he had a tool bag, that could be part of his "dress".

...I once got a printer that came with software for hooking it up as a fax, etc. Came home one day to find an unsolicited page sitting in the tray from some guy who had sent a fax to what he thought was his travel agent, confirming that he wanted whatever options on his upcoming cruise, and listing his full credit-card info.
-
@da-Doctah And so there would be a risk of someone crooked who worked in the office who routinely looked at all of the faxes. It would not be worth it for an outsider to come in and pretend to be a repairman on the 1/10,000 chance that the fax they took a picture of would have credit card info on it.
