Facebook passwords compromised.

yeah, I've been trying to find a KB shortcut for the back function in browsers, but for the life of me, can't find it listed, anywhere. I've been too ashamed to even ask.

🙁

Alt + Left Arrow

Sometimes non-techies are surprised when they find out that they know things about computers or software that I don't.
There's just a lot of information out there, and even experts don't know every single thing - sometimes even seemingly obvious things - in a particular field or topic.

I'm not an expert in anything, though 🙁

Yeah, people are just plundering accounts from the released data. The attack didn't seem to be at FB (according to wiki and Lulz coverage, see "On June 16" paragraph), I don't think - they didn't name where they got the list of accounts.

Backspace for back button in browsers, but it kinda gets clunky and doesn't work on some form and flash pages. Mouse button 4 default programmed on some logi mice works heaps better.

yay! backspace. i've looked at 4 published online lists for KB shortcuts, and none of them mentioned the back function.

the back button on my logitech mouse works...half the time.

i'm looking for more KB shortcuts b/c of laptop with trackpad.

who the fuck cares. It's facebook. Everyone on there has 10 accounts anyway. What are the chances? lol gotta love hackers.

ALT + Left works more often but I still usually use backspace. Today, I found that Google wouldn't let me use backspace no matter where I clicked in the page because the new real-time search would not let me remove focus from my insertion point/cursor. This annoyed me greatly.

That said, shouldn't most people have discovered backspace to go back by accidentally going back when they try to backspace over some text without giving the field focus or after accidentally tabbing out or having a touchpad think you clicked elsewhere? Happens all the time to me. Maybe I just work too fast.

Doesn't work in Linux without tweaking the setup. alt-left arrow is all that works afaik.

Found this, dunno if there is anyone who still hasn't checked.

I'm an ass, but at least I understand that there should be a way to jump to my own posts and replies to it in a page of 100 posts. If you know it should be there, that's all you need to be able to find it.

Hell, I'm pissed off that IE9 broke being able to page up and down when jumping around with CTRL + F. It makes it far less useful because you can't see what's under your search result without moving the scroll bar. I'm talking about a work PC, FWIW, that we had to roll back to IE8 due to alternatives not being allowed and gmail's blast email functions being inaccessible (IE9 compatibility problem).



So, what makes me unlike the kid who has Pi memorized to 100 places? I just think he needs to show more ambition if he calls himself a techie, posts on a tech forum, and hasn't explored a basic menu. Shame me for something I did wrong and I strive to correct it. Don't others respond the same way?

I've done around 10 builds and numerous repairs to PC's. is that "techie" enough for you? do you really think every person knows every keyboard shortcut for every program one runs? I spend a few hours a day on SAP, (bloatware, IMO), everyone at work has a few tricks figured out to show someone else so we can use this beastie software, no one has the all-knowing ass attitude you have when educating someone else to a new trick or feature they haven't seen/used yet..

In CZroe's defense, Ctrl+F has been universal since before Windows existed. It's pretty remarkable that you wouldn't have seen it SOMEWHERE a long time ago and started using it daily.

It's hard to believe you made it to your second build without using this frequently. Just odd; that's all.

The point isn't that you don't know some obscure techie shortcut because you don't know them all, it's that it's a damn-near universal keyboard shortcut that most non-techies would know. It works across almost any relevant application, operating system, or device. It's like not knowing what F5 or CTRL+ALT+DEL typically does.

Techies use a lot more than CTRL+A, CTRL+X/C/V, WIN+R, WIN+E, or ESC.

It's even funnier now that you called it "new." 😀

I was referring to new SAP tricks, obviously CTRL F is not new, why I didn't know it is kinda odd buy it doesn't make me a dumbass..

Does anyone else find the number of passwords that are actually "password" disturbing?

Cntrl F, do0d.

lmao

Yeah, that's my password for everything.

Here, let me give you my bank account username:

User

[txrandom]

I have a different password for each site and don't record them anywhere. I'm not too worried.

 

[Ichinisan]

almost every password i have looks like- BRf7lKy99kbDoWdsTKzE

20 characters, sometimes specials if the website allows it. i have a different password for every site. its all kept inside keepass, and all i have to remember is one 22 character master password, which isnt as hard as it seems. its not even made up of words, its just random patterns on the keyboard that i remember.

and for awhile i was even using the usb thumbdrive on my keychain as the other half of my master password. so the only way to get into my virtual safe was to insert that exact usb key and type in the password. i stop being that paranoid though, and just leave the composite key in my dropbox folder now.

What if keepass.com is operated / founded / infiltrated / compromised by LulzSec? Maybe that's how they gain admin rights to so many other systems. 😉

It's interesting how many people don't know Win + L to lock your PC. There was a thing at my old job about how when we left our PC, we were supposed to give it the "three finger solute" (use CTRL+ALT+DEL to access the menu to lock it ). I said "why not the two finger salute?" and followed up with "Don't worry, I'm working on the one finger as we speak"

EDIT:

With that humor, it is a mystery as to my being laid off :hmm:
