Absolutely beautiful. What a company, lol.

The real beauty of it is that I can't fathom the logic. Unless they're storing the passwords as plaintext, it's not like it can be a storage issue. The hashes will be a constant size. I guess it takes longer to hash bigger inputs, but like, that difference should be unnoticeable until thousands of characters.

Did the engineer who made it truly not fathom that people might have passwords longer than 12 characters? That's the kind of mid-90s logic that makes me genuinely worry that the passwords aren't hashed on the backend, or are just MD5'd or something...

Makes absolutely no sense at all.

Weird. I had to make up a new one cause all my normal passwords were too long.

Several people on here have had the same issue it seems, and Google agrees thats their limit is 12.

Not sure how you got around it. Maybe you're using a USAA reseller or something? You sure that your password's more than 12 characters?

Tell me about it. USAA has a password policy of "between 8 and 12 characters."

Like, that's not even secure under old understandings of secure. A max of 12 should be, like, an actual offense with sanctions attached if they get hacked at some point. Especially for a financial institution. Ridiculous.

Definitely used a one-off password for that one...

I think he was talking about some of the questionable representation of the tribal peoples in the film.

The NBA allows women to try out though? It doesn't ban women from competing at all.

A few I've been big on lately:

The Meat and Dairy Network Podcast - A British humor surrealist comedy podcast about the inner workings of the meat and dairy industry.

The Horror Virgin - A guy who hates scary movies has two friends who make him watch them.

The League of Ultimate Questing - High production actual play DnD podcast. Very funny with some fun hooks.

Midway Games stock is gonna shoot through the roof selling all the extra copies to make this system work. :P

Why is this in this community? I feel like I'm missing something.

I honestly think the more likely explanation is that he doesn't realize Kamala Harris and Nikki Hayley are different people. They're both just "that woman I'm running against" to him.

Dementia brain has him in a place where he's like, "No! The woman I'm running against was Indian dammit!"

If most of the boxes are Windows, probably Samba4.

But if you're mostly using Linux, FreeIPA is actually really nice.

I don't understand why you think that guy was conflating communism and socialism. He claimed communism is moneyless, and in your response you said "neither is moneyless." What's being conflated?

And it's worth noting that most definitions include, if not expressly the word "moneyless," clauses about all property being held in common. And if there is no property, then there is equally no money, by definition (as money is simply a system for the valuation and exchange of property).
