My wife and I were watching a really old The Price is Right recently, and they didn’t know what one of the words of the prize name meant. I don’t remember what the word was now as it was specific to that artist, it was a type of lithograph. But they kind of shrugged their shoulders and moved on. Then like 30 minutes later in the show they were like oh hey, we called this professor at UCLA and asked what this meant and it’s a type of lithograph. I remember my wife and I were just like holy crap the days before the Internet…

They have really long noodle cafes in China where they regularly serve noodles in the 20 meter range. In fact, China even has the world record.

Fun fact: The connector is called a DE-15, VGA is just the protocol using it in this application.

I mean… you have been able to do things like that for a long time. You used to be able to use cable toners to listen to conversations on analog phone lines for instance.

Funny, but fun fact: it’s a portmanteau of Deborah and Ian and is intended to be pronounced Deb-Ian.

I’m glad somebody else caught this, it always irritated me in Enterprise when they insisted that it was a gravity generator and not just plating.

I hate to break it to you but XP-7 only existed the way it did because Microsoft was under an injunction preventing them from bundling services with the OS. They actually intended to have Microsoft accounts (then called .Net Passports) tied to activation in XP.

Right up until they showed him talking a little weird in the prequels I’d always assumed it was meant to be an eccentricity brought on by living alone for decades.

Our new one has the option to not have a clock and just be blank so it’s extra annoying when somebody leaves the timer on and the screen stays on blinking ‘cook time’.

It’s the opposite for me. I live in a place that gets fairly humid during different times of the year so cassettes don’t often make it If they were left in a car or a garage or something similar. Whereas most of the CDs that survived my teenage years still work.

There was a similar incident where they found a sailor on one US Navy ship had their own Starlink terminal because they were broadcasting an SSID. At the end of the day, you can’t fix stupid.

I have a flat panel from the early 2000s with a resolution of 1600x1200. I use it for old consoles because it also has an s-video input.

Seriously, stop being a troll. I’m done with this conversation. Not one time have I used the word violation.

Believe it or not I pay attention to usernames. I was talking about the link you just posted that mentions the liability assumed by the signers of the BAA.

Maybe read it again? My job requires me to be HIPAA and FERPA certified, I am confident in my interpretation of the situation.

The answer to your question is in the article you posted… did you even read it?

Have a great day, I’m done talking in circles.

What?!? The entire purpose of HIPAA is to put liability on misuse of data. At this point, I have no fucking clue what your point is.

No I can’t cite something that doesn’t exist. I literally just said there isn’t one… so I am not sure what your point is.

I am a software developer who does custom EMR software specifically because the places I work for can’t use the cloud. But okay I will try…

There is no certification process in place for using a cloud to store HIPAA data. It even says that on the page that you linked. Legally, any organization that used this service would be opening themselves to further liability under HIPAA.

There are others still, like Slackware and SUSE.
