The one show that actually displays sed and has better tech literacy than "I made a GUI in Visual Basic to track their IP" and you're all upset that they used cat instead of passing a path directly to sed.

Gboard is also generally good and objectively better than the built in iOS keyboard.

I think carriers aren’t allowed to interfere with call connection except by explicit request of the customer. IIRC it was some work to go from “customer can block specified numbers” to “customer can block based on list we maintain”.

false-positives happen as well, especially now that scammers often spoof legit numbers to get around systems like this. a couple of days ago my mom called me complaining that her friend, who has had the same home phone number since the early 80s, would try calling her but her phone wouldn't ring. i turned off the scam blocker but left scam id turned on and sure enough her friend's legit number showed up labeled "scam likely". i reported it and they fixed it quickly, but it does happen.

e: someone in either this thread or the tech bubble one said they started getting angry "take me off your list!" calls from old people after a telemarketer spoofed their number

some medicare fraud was using a number similar to my work number as their call in line to get FREE MONEY! I got calls from people who were upset when I told them they both dialed the wrong number and the thing they were dialing was a scam. Like they refused to believe the government wasn't going to give them free money.

Honestly same. Especially if I expect to make multiple queries with grep.

re scam calls: I occasionally get the "*pause until it hears a person on the other line* Oh? Hi! Sorry I was having trouble with my headset. You have won a free..."

Directory listing I think is still the default for Apache on RHEL7, but I'm not sure about Debian or Ubuntu. So it's a pretty easy mistake to make if you install your lovely LAMP stack from snack overflow or whatever.

doing it that way you lose the ability to have it show which files have the lines with the match also i discovered 'ag' a couple years ago and it's a lot better than grep
