AI Thread Summary
SBC DSL utilizes the 2wire program for its home portal network. When a computer is connected to a 2wire modem, it can appear on the network status page, even if it is physically located elsewhere. However, it is not possible for a computer at a remote location to access another computer on the same network unless prior arrangements were made for access, such as hacking. The discussion also touches on the knowledge of specific individuals regarding cryptography, but no further details are provided.

I use SBC DSL. SBC uses 2wire program for its home portal network. Now some time ago, I physically brought my friend's computer over to my apartment and plugged it into my 2wire modem. Now when I go to the network status page I see my computer listed and my friend's computer on my home network. His computer is now at another physical location. My question is:Is it possible from my friend's computer at its remote location to access mine?

No, its not possible for your friend's computer to access yours. Unless of course your friend planned on accessing yours before you hooked them together, and he/she was a mastermind hacker.

Does cronxeh know about this or crytography?

That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
