        That’s… what a photo is. While technically correct, no one would use “Photo:” as a meme format. It’s just redundant and dumb.

          Are we really using redundancy and dumbness as a point against a meme format?

          "When you

          When you shit your pants"

          Is literally an old meme format where repeating the top line is part of the joke.

          Plus there’s “BOTTOM TEXT” which is just completely stupid but funny.

          We must be seeing different memes.

      Then again, school IT jobs are often given to “my nephew who is good with computers”, because the pay is often half compared to the private sector.

        One teacher told us that once an IT technician at our school built the network, connecting 2 school institutions with ~7 buildings using only hubs. That network was apparently almost unusably slow, which isn’t surprising.

          My brother works for a school with 200 kids PreK-12. He’s a teacher, but he also does IT. He gets a $500/yr stipend, and he calls me at least twice a week with basic questions that are solved 95% of the time by rebooting the computer.

          I’ve told him a number of times the district owes me that stipend lol

      And not just printers. There may or may not also be a few Wi-Fi APs with login details admin:admin. And there also may or may not be many computers with RDP enabled without password. And those that have some password may or may not re-use the same short password for Administrator account. There also may or may not be SMTP server, though unfortunately in my case it doesn’t allow using it so send e-mails outside the network. It returns “Relay access denied” error.

      If it makes you feel any better, before the days of ubiquitous wi-fi, printers on wired networks in my school were about as easy to discover and use from a distance. FTPing a text file to one would start a print job for that file and it would be trivial to mash together that information plus a list of printer addresses for the entire district network (courtesy of nmap).

      This information was certainly never put to use.

      My school had a level of security on their printers…and also a shitload of hackers. Like, the IT department was reporting vulnerabilities discovered by the students to Apple amount of hackers.

        My high school had a level of security too. The same password on every work computer in the school.

        Amazingly, I never resorted to changing grades. However logging into the admin account to play games instead of the 1,358th typing class was definitely on the menu.

          Maybe this isn’t a big chain. I worked for a local pizza place a while back, and they had their own website set up by the owner. It would have been up to him to set the limit.

          If his printer wasnt one from just eat linked to the just eat order machine we might have had the same problem. The printer was dumb, it likely just responded to whatever input it recieves. In the case of just eat orders they likely have a char limit so its never an issue.

            Theres a couple clues that suggest it’s a Canadian cannabis dispensary. Which is interesting as many use the same web app for menus and online orders (Dutchie), though some don’t.

      The script is ~55k characters long, depending on the source. This transcript, 55k, includes who is saying the line, as well as descriptive elements of the story, so the actual ‘words only’ version will be a bit shorter. This one is 99k and includes even more description of the visual elements. From what I’ve seen, though, most of transcripts have these non verbal inclusions, so the person who added it to the special instructions likely copied those over as well.

      I can’t speak to the other points, but allowing 55k characters is definitely wild.

        youre not gettin more than maaybe 512 outta me if i was asked to store/move ‘special instructions’ with no requirement

        a part of me thinks someone connected directly to this printer and printed it. i cant imagine someone pasting 55k into an online form and it making it intact all the way to the print job.

        reality is, this would have been truncated client side before it even hit the wires.

    I do hope when someone reads about a Christian Nationalism lawsuit going on they don’t find out what law office is representing the guy who wants to hurt gay people. Then find the fax number on their site, go get a temp email at all the free sites that provide it, go to a send fax over the Internet site, and send them long faxes.

      An old trick you could do on old physical fax machines was to tape a couple of sheets of black construction paper together, feed them into the machine and tape them into a loop. Dial your special person and burn through all their toner. Of course, now it would just generate a bunch of emails.

        Black fax - such an effective remote physical attack that fax companies had to actually hard-code a defence against it, to not print pages where there would be enough ink or toner dispensed that it could damage the machine or be a fire hazard

      Ok my copier story. We had a copier room in my high school with a little window in the door. I put a black sheet of paper on it, set it to copy 999 times, locked the door from the inside, then walked away. Turns out no one knows where the key was to the little copier room. I got caught and was punished. The end.
