extending the guest experience into a true and meaningful relationship.
I don't want a "true and meaningful relationship" with Panera. I just want a sandwich. I'm not looking for a date. Your food is already terrible so what incentive is there for me to hand over my palm print? So you can "greet me by name?" What idiot thought this was a good idea?
A company isn't going to pay to equip 10,000 remote offices when they're also paying for their headquarters. They can eliminate that expense completely by just eliminating remote work. I'm not saying the company shouldn't reimburse for company expenses, but suing the company to pay for your home internet sounds like a good way to get them to rethink whether it's worth it to them to allow remote work. They don't pay you to commute, either. You going to sue them for mileage?
Credit freezes wouldn't be necessary if the bureaus were doing their jobs. And at this point, I have no reason to believe that they're actually freezing it or that it can't just as easily be unfrozen by a threat actor.
My licensing costs have increased dramatically year over year for the past several years. While we expect modest increases every year, I had one contract ask for a 30% increase over last year. I think these companies are so used to sucking from the teat of vendor lock-in that they're starting to be surprised when the milk starts to run dry.
They've learned about Loab and decided this is the only way to stop her before she manifests completely in our world and destroys everything.
Gosh, you get a cut of every private sale? Your books are already criminally over-priced, with marginal changes to each volume requiring the student to buy the latest copy every year. And that's not enough of a racket for you.
Many neighborhoods don't use poles at all but bury all wiring.

Subject: My phone is going haywire!
Description: The authenticator app keeps popping up a message every once in awhile that I need to authenticate even though I'm not doing anything. I keep hitting OK but the message just comes back a few minutes or a few hours later! Can I just uninstall this piece of junk app? This has been going on for months! Also, can you tell me why I keep seeing all of these weird email messages in my Sent Items folder?
I have a bunch of home automation, but I only use parts that will still work without internet access. Will I lose some features of my thermostat? Yes, but it will still function as a thermostat. I just won't be able to check it from my phone. I'll still be able to turn my lights on and off, I just won't be able to use automation scripts. It has to continue to perform its basic function without internet access or it doesn't get installed.
Anyway...
If they're not stopping the bad cops, then they're complicit and that makes them also bad cops.
...it's just not possible to fake video evidence, and even if it were, no one would ever use that ability for mischief.
I already have plenty of users who will blindly click on anything that pops up on their phone, so while I applaud the deployment of MFA, it's not the cure-all everyone seems to think it is.
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?
