OK, but if someone's looking at you because of performance or whatever then having Netflix or YouTube open all day is not a good look.

Morally the equipment and services belong to the employer so to assume you can use them for personal reasons is a big assume. Whenever I'm asked to look at someone I always tell the owner to consult with a HR professional before using

Whenever I'm asked to help look at a specific person it's because they suspect cause or are looking for cause to get rid of them. TBH I usually find it.

A friend was doing VSO and got posted to an orphanage in Ulaanbaatar, hence the adventure. I took the trans siberian there and stayed for 3 weeks. Good times. https://www.vsointernational.org/

There are over 500 words in Mongolian to describe the traits of horses. I was galoping on a horse in Mongolia being led by a mongolian boy, and his horse put it's hoof in a small animal hole and went down. The way the boy slid forwards

When I worked in IT at a big company we had a fake screensaver that emulated a blue screen and boot loop situation. Nobody ever thought to press a key or move the mouse which would have cleared it, they would always go for a power cycle fol

I recently re-logged in to my Steam account for the first time since 2014 and everything was just fine. I had no idea how to work anything but managed to play my old friend at Counterstrike. I sucked.

I always wondered what the queueing situation is at chargers since most locations aren't physically set up for it. You'd be really annoyed if you were waiting nearby for ages for a free charger then someone else swooped in. Or the

And the rest of the MS ecosystem is full of dark patterns to funnel you onto it also. Create a new meeting in Outlook - there's automatically a Teams link in it that nobody asked for. Even if it's a Zoom meeting.

I liked my old Samsung Galaxy 2 where you could flip the back off and swap the battery. I had 2 batteries and a stand alone charger which was AMAZING for trips away.

How about the facility to connect to WiFi from that screen and trigger an email to the previous owner, ok to unlock this device or is it stolen?

Your point is correct of course and I have considered that. Where my partner stands is complicated because I share parents evenings with my ex, whose support I can not rely on to put it mildly.

You're not wrong but at the same time she otherwise seems to do a good job with my daughter which I'm keen not to in any way get in the way of by making this about me.

My daughter's teacher this year just straight blanks me at the parent consultations. Like, it's uncomfortable. Speaking to some other fathers it's not just me. But I am still undecided over whether it's worth complaining

I have a similar experience. I went to some counselling in my early 40s and we talked a lot about my childhood and family dynamics. It was one of the best things I've ever done in terms of my capacity for happiness (and the happiness o

I was about to type that maybe it's about intention, but then I realised that expectation of feeling good is a reward based motivation. Having behaviours that benefit your group rewarded and reinforced seems an obvious survival trait.

People fell off bikes without having a mobile on them from pretty much the period between bikes being invented and very recently.

I believe that the statistics are that most people don't brake anywhere near hard enough in accidents, because you're just not used to pushing the pedal that hard.

It seems a C6 state is an individual core sleeping. The intersection of people who don't reboot for 3 years and people who have sleep states enabled must be pretty small. It's an interesting bug though!

I just let it roll around in the back of my mind for a few days or even weeks. Eventually some new perspective will present it's self. Something will unlock it.

I would say yes you're being a little naive. You'll be sitting in traffic, setting out early and getting back late, dealing with parking tickets and difficult end users. You will ache from driving and working in strange positions.

Open Litespeed has had HTTP3 for a while now. And supports Apache style configs, rewriterule etc. My go to web vps setup at the moment is cyberpanel which sets everything up nice for you. I used to hand roll everything but life's too

No but my networking group does, which I thought was an interesting choice. It was because the whole 'zoom is insecure' thing was going around when the pandemic hit. It's worked out OK ish, they're still using it after 3
