He means the forms you have to fill out to get your compensation rejected.

Fuckin' finally!

I'm basically running mine without Meta since they mandated the switch from an Oculus to a Meta account.

I'm still pissed that they dropped support a month before adding the ability to use it while lying down to the Quest 2. All it basically does is allow you to set the head tilt to 0. That was so hard that it took them years to implement. My disabled ass could have really used it.

Got one for really cheap about a year or so before support was dropped. It still gets regular use. Although I've been waiting for the Frame for the more open system. Would be funny if this exploit enabled me to install SteamOS on it.

Official CLI or a third party client?

What's the expected answer? "Because 2 is less than 4"? Could be "because 20 + 20 = 40" but that seems to be too advanced for these types of tests.

Depends. Usually not. It hops from your computer to your email provider which then looks up the server of the recipient and sends it there. The recipient's server might send it on internally and in big installations probably does so.

It is theoretically possible that one of the involved parties has a third party authorised to accept mails on their behalf in case of outages. I don't believe that is very common nowadays. It's much more likely that your provider will keep the mail for a few hours to days when it can't reach the recipient.

But ideally only your provider and the recipient's provider can read the mail with all connections in between being encrypted. There's just no guarantee that all paths are encrypted. But I think nowadays that is much more likely than it used to be, thanks to Let's Encrypt.

Now, if you don't want any of the servers to be able to read the mail you have to encrypt it with something like GPG. But for that to work you need the recipient's key. But hardly anyone uses that. And it only encrypts the content of the mail. Not the metadata.

After the school bell was broken for a very long time it was considered to shut it off permanently. We were supposed to argue for or against it in an essay. At least one guy who wanted to keep the bell still argued for getting rid of it because he had more arguments for that.

How about sitting on a seat warmed by a friend?

So is my uncle.

Depending on your interpretation it literally happened to me. Long Covid has me tied to my bed 24/7. I have even less to contribute to my family than a door knob. But my wife still loves me.
