  • This feels like an appropriate place to comment that passwords of that length are essentially uncrackable by modern standards and that you have no need for the pesky and easily forgettable special characters or numbers! Relevant xkcd.

    Quick note on the comic - dictionary attacks are possible now, so four plaintext words is not enough without special characters, but 10, like your example, is more than enough :)







  • First, there’s no mention of size of pay adjustment here. Second, sure, your point is valid, but in the context of this post, let’s not be ridiculous. This is a multiple-choice question, so sometimes you need to rank options and choose the best. No same person is more likely to stay at a company because of a ping-pong table in lieu of a better salary. Now if they’d said

    An employee appreciation program, which includes such things as free meals and a recreation room with a ping pong table

    that would be a different story. But as-is, it’s ridiculous.




  • I left after 2 months. Their network has the same coverage as ATT & T-Mobile combined, which is awesome…
    BUT
    Their use of those towers is deprioritized. Which means all their requests get sent to the bottom of the queue. If there aren’t a lot of people around, no problem! If you live in a metro area, you wait so long to connect that it’s basically like you don’t have service. It worked great on road trips but was unusable for 90% of my use case.

    I think a lot of the providers with discount prices do the same. A cursory internet search tells me Mint does too, but that they only use T-Mobile’s towers. So if you switch, your coverage might be better but your data connection times might be worse. Or maybe ATT just sees heavy use in my area, and you’d be fine.

    I’m in Atlanta, fwiw. Not exactly inside midtown/downtown, but within the perimeter of 285, so still fairly close to city center.
