Oppo and LaLD are both blocked at work now. I can read Jalopnik, but not comment because I can’t log in. Guess I’ll be hammering the old smart phone a lot more. Shame, I so much prefer typing on a real keyboard.

You could also get a micro-USB to USB adaptor (assuming you don’t have an iPhone) and plug a regular USB keyboard into it.

Better than the time my high school blocked Google on the grounds that it was pornography.

Did you hack my laptop camera!?! I really need to put a post-it over that ...

I'm not sure about the arts part. Finger painting, maybe.

Which ‘Stan do you live in?

Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, or Uzbekistan?

I do have an iPhone :/

I really miss Android. A lot.

Bluetooth should work fine, then.

Android is great, though. I’ve used a mouse with my S7 before.

I mean they are not wrong but a search engine is an important thing to have. We had to use bing for about 2 weeks.

I’ll go back to Android for my next phone.

As if you can’t find porn with bing.

you want a real keyboard, get yourself a blackberry classic. thought I was going to miss the big screen, but honestly it’s the best. THAT IS JUST MY OPINION THOUGH DON’T HATE ME

Deadspin got banned at my school library for being “Japanese pornography”

While I would certainly never hate on somebody for their choice of phone, this is what I mean by a real keyboard :)

One time the UK Government banned ALL of Wikipedia because a couple of articles had artistic or scientifically presented naked pictures of children.

Proxy server. Lots of free ones. That’ll get you around the filter.

My office recently blocked all personal email. It’s almost comical to walk around and see how much more time is getting wasted by people typing emails or whatever onto their phones instead.

Bing?! Dear god. That’s worse than Yahoo!

nobody can find anything with bing.

Why in the world did they just now decide to block that?

I had one until I took it out with a spilled glass of water. I loved it for typing, but it was annoying when I was trying to use AutoCAD keyboard shortcuts with my one hand while I drove the mouse with the other.

My approach to reading/commenting at work is to enable Remote Desktop (requires a Professional or Server version of Windows) on my personal desktop, punch a hole in my firewall for that (on a random port to limit exposure somewhat, though you could run over port 80 if you company has a restrictive firewall), and then Remote Desktop to that machine for all my non-work related browsing/email needs.

Eh, it’s really not that big of a deal to me. It’s a pain, but I’ll just use my phone.

I don’t know if they actively blocked it. They just put in a new web filter, so I presume it doesn't approve of Kinja.

Ha! If you can’t find porn, you’re not trying very hard. You can find porn on Lycos ... I assume ....

Better than Lycos though (that was a deep pull)

Eh, I’m not gonna do anything like that. Not worth it for me, I’ll just suck it up and use my phone.

The only reason I still remember it exists, is all the race cars they sponsored back in the day.

Fortunately the web filter changed it’s mind, and let me back onto Oppo and such Friday.
