setup Bosses boss's laptop a few months back. (new boss person) configured it for VPN. To make sure it worked used hotspot on my phone.
Last month I used 14gb of data. what the what!
Noticed today that whenever bosses boss comes to my floor laptop of theirs connects to my hotspot and that is where she is running her online meetings from alot.
Opps. Guess I should block that mac address.
Own fault really.
Good thing I have unlimited data. Gotta listen to my tunes ya know

Good grief - you leave the hotspot on your phone on? Actually, mine turns itself off automatically if nothing is connected to it (for example, I turn my laptop off or separate the two.)

the thing is. I leave it on so I can listen to Pandora, Spotify etc... during the day and stream music thru my personal lappy that sits beside me. So yes it turns off if nothing is attached. But my lappy is usually attached

I would suggest you might want to visit your boss and explain in private what has happened, and make arrangements to prevent it ever happening again - before someone who understands these things spots it and raises red flags.
You know it's an innocent mistake. I'm sure it is an innocent mistake. But ... to some, it will look like industrial espionage to have all her traffic going through your phone, if you see what I mean ...

already blocked her mac address so it won't happen again. But you are correct. Was planning on telling boss anyway. Don't think bosses boss even noticed where they were connecting too. not terrbily worried. I really don't have the size of equipment between my legs for even thinking about anything stupid.
But better safe than sorry

Maybe somebody should be? Who knows what they connect through when they're out in the wild.

They are in the office at work. should be able to trust the Wifi. Also, I had used my personal hotspot to make sure said laptop's VPN was working so my wifi was trusted.

You could also change the password, but yeah, your solution works too

Isn't this the same or a variant of the image from the other day?
It's a really cool image so it's really no big deal.

Exactly.

Sound of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
Under the Milky Way tonight

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown,
And things seem hard or tough,
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough,
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour.
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power.
Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day,
In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars;
It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side;
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick,
But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide.
We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point,
We go 'round every two hundred million years;
And our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.
Our universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,
In all of the directions it can whiz;
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth;
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!

No, because of the way they treated the KLF long ago ... 
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hmmm, that's a totally different story than what I have heard: they went to Sweden, but the fiendish ABBA would not talk with them, so on the ferry back they dumped their LP's in the ocean
|
|
|
|
|
There's a million versions of the story (it's the KLF, after all) but the basic crux is that ABBA sued them over a record that would otherwise have sold about 12 copies. It was a pretty shoddy thing to do but the irony is that it played a large part in bringing the Justified Ancients/KLF to fame.
It's well worth a listen, there are few things in life that beat a good Bill Drummond rant!
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

I had to look that up too. As far as I am concerned, the KLF were treated exactly as they deserved, possibly even better. This episode gave me an even greater respect for ABBA than I had previously. I already had a minuscule opinion of those who think sampling the work of others constitutes original music and think they are somehow deserving of respect for it and this definitely reinforced that.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, from a legal point of view ABBA probably had every right to take action regarding copyright etc, but on the other hand my thoughts are: didn't they make enough money already to bother about small time crooks, or pirates if you prefer, like the KLF ?
|
|
|
|
|
As far as I am concerned, money had/has absolutely nothing to do with the matter.
It's kind of like trademark laws in the USA. Unless you enforce your trademark rights you can lose them. For ABBA, as soon as they open the door to people sampling their work then there will be a flood of it.
|
|
|
|
|
Exactly. Protect your property or lose it. ABBA had no choice except to shut it down.
