I just learned today of the 15 year-old bug in Thunderbird (bug submitted using Windows Vista!!) where it's performing a spell-check on the forwarded or replied content and not just the body you typed in the forward or reply which is expected behavior. It's so annoying I just have to disable it and use the inline checking only. Not a problem.

That's when I realized Thunderbird doesn't check for duplicate words. As in, if I'm typing and I accidentally type type a word twice (yeah, I'm getting old), it simply sees them as spelled correctly and moves on. Does anyone know if there is an option anywhere to enable this? Searching around didn't turn anything up either way. Maybe I need to install a grammar checker add-on?

Thank you in advance!

Hey everyone.

I've been in IT for 30 years, but have been dabbling in digital forensics for the past few months hoping to gain some new skills and maybe even a career shift. However I've run into an issue and can't seem to find a definitive answer for.

Just for practice, I booted from a Paladin flash drive and used it to pull an E01 image of my hard drive and dump it to a third external USB drive. I then plugged that USB drive into my SIFT workstation and created a new case in Autopsy, ingesting that E01 image as a data source.

The issue is that my drive has BitLocker encryption, and even though I entered the BitLocker key (which I ASSUME is what the data source was asking for by "BitLocker Password") it still throws an error due to the encryption, and that partition is the only one I'm unable to see in Autopsy.

Is the BitLocker "password" in fact the BitLocker key? If so, why isn't Autopsy able to decrypt it so I can view its contents and then actually start digging into it?

Thank you in advance!

Just experienced this for the first time today, but I'm sure others have ran into this before.

My wife and I have been using this same dietary supplement (in powder form) for years, and have been really happy with the product. When I went to get a new jug of the stuff today, I found it's been "new and improved!", so I turned the container around to have a look at the nutrition label, and everything looked exactly the same. I also confirmed that the container was still 25 oz. I was confused for a second, until I noticed the serving size...

What used to be two tablespoons per serving, it's now THREE. Seriously? So, for the exact same price, the exact same amount of material, and the exact same nutritional load, I now need an extra tablespoon, meaning we're going to burn through this stuff 50% faster?

I put it down and walked out. Guess I have to find a new product now. Assholes. 😠

EDIT: TIL this is skimpflation. Thank you!

I'm in IT and have only been able to find part-time consulting gigs for almost two years now, so I continue the hunt. In that time I've only had a handful of interviews, and a bunch of rejection letters. 90% of what I put out there is only met by crickets chirping. 😛

Thanks to subs like this one, none of this, sadly, is a surprise. But what I saw today honestly pissed me off. A job posted by a company was offering the EXACT SAME SALARY I was making in the same role (Systems Administrator) 21 years ago. WTF? Over two decades have passed and companies think they can pay the same, as if we're still in 2005?

I've kinda noticed this previously, but shook it off thinking I read it wrong, or misunderstood the position title, SOMETHING. But this was far too obvious and in my face. Granted this is a role I'm beyond now, but I still get notices for them, and it just confirms why the roles I AM interested in are paying so much lower than what I was making just a few years ago.

For reference I'm in the Seattle area.

Has anyone else noticed such a disgusting disconnect between salaries and cost-of-living?

Aloha!

My family and I live in Seattle and used to have several Teddy's Bigger Burgers locations here, but sadly they've all closed down. :(

We were having burgers tonight and started reminiscing about Teddy's.

I know they originated in Hawaii, and the last time we were down there on vacation we hit-up two of their locations that week, and we miss it terribly.

So, my question - does anybody there have the recipe for making Teddy's sauce? I know it would be a small consolation prize, but man, it would be nice to have at least that to dunk my fries in. :)

- Thank you from Seattle
