I guess I should clarify. In addition to "just the W2" there's also a monthly, quarterly, or yearly payroll tax report that goes to the IRS, along with a whopping large check for the withholding, as part of normal payroll processing. Different companies do different reporting standards, of course. But they're getting the data a lot more often than you think, just from the money paid in *during* the year, before the return is filed for.

Journal Journal: Anybody else using mailchimp?

14 years ago I picked mailchimp because it could read RSS feeds from my Knights of Columbus blog and send out daily digests.

We had a small form in an iframe allowing people to sign up to get the digests.

This year, something broke in the "detect a human" code for that small form, and I am getting hundreds of thousands of signups of the form "valid email address" "gibberish first name" "gibberish last name" and I can't figure out why.

I imagine that the first question after installing Linux would be "Now how do I sync albums that I bought on the band's Bandcamp page onto my iPhone?" As far as I'm aware:

- iTunes for Windows uses the Apple Mobile Device Service driver to sync over a USB cable, and drivers don't run in Wine.
- libimobiledevice on Linux can write files to an iPhone but not the music database that the included Music app uses.
- Though the VLC app can play music from files, nothing but the included Music app can make playlists containing both purchased music and rented music from the roommate's Apple Music family plan. Not all bands are with a label that's on Apple Music.

I left Windows on her laptop and turned off S Mode.

Comment S Mode (Score 5, Informative) 24

Many new computers with Windows 11, such as a Lenovo IdeaPad that my roommate received as a birthday gift, come set to "S Mode" and will not run applications from outside the Store. There is a way to disable S Mode permanently on a particular PC. This shows a sequence of alert boxes whose wording may be scary to particularly nontechnical users such as my roommate.

The claim was that trade deficits were the closest thing to an emergency that the President could find as a justification. I explained that the fentanyl use epidemic was the other justification, which some people might have an easier time accepting as an emergency.
