no. years of idiot sales dudes calling my work phone line conditioned me to stop answering my phone.

I obviously still answer when it’s someone I know since I only get calls from them when it’s important

i'm just at the point where i don't pick up the phone unless the person is in contacts or i'm expecting a call

nobody who isn't in my contacts is going to call me with a real, actual emergency

Even if it's someone you know calling from some random phone, they can leave a message and I'll call them back immediately. I just always default to voicemail if I don't have the number as a contact.

Yes.

"Hmm, traffic is heavy on this lovely highway at rush hour, is that "the usual" heavy or "this is heavy even for the usual rush hour traffic, time to abandon any hope of moving over the next hour and just find a place to pull over" heavy?"

Wasn't there a guy that would scan the internet for HP printers that had some half-assed cloud software with swiss-cheese security? And he would print out an alert with instructions on how to lock it down on those very printers?

Could be a fever dream, but I seem to recall something like that in the murky depths of my early-onset dementia.

google search:
inurl:hp/device/this.LCDispatcher?nav=hp.Print

of course what's happening there is that these are not just printers exposed to the internet when this is supposed to be only intranet facing, these are even printers exposed with proper domain names assigned to them for some reason. google doesn't find the ones that are just a plain ip address so easily

I'd be willing to bet that they're using DHCP hostnames in DNS and exposing that DNS to the world. UToledo did this back when I was there. Everything got a public IP and the DNS system would accept the hostname your machine sent. If you had done a lookup for "bender.ptl.utoledo.edu" in 2004/2005 you'd have got the IP of my laptop (assuming I was in my dorm, if I was elsewhere around campus that subdomain would be different).
