That's why I got an Asus RT-AC5300 router. It's got a beautiful traffic analyzer. I could've built something but honestly I don't have time for that anymore.

OK you can focus on the little nuances of whether RDP is better or not on Windows or Mac. The fact is that becomes built into windows where is you have to buy it for the Mac. You also cannot RDP from windows to a Mac. And team viewer is rid

It only works from Mac to Mac though. You cannot do remote desktop from Windows to Mac. That's typical Apple bullshit that will not fly in the enterprise. RDP also comes built into Windows where is you have to buy this from Apple. Also

There are definitely other biases. Macs simply can't do as much as Windows can in a business setting. That's why companies like Disney and Google have to build their own systems management tools. I could not imagine running a fina

There are two things that we know for sure: - Microsoft is not dead. - Paul Graham is a tedious windbag. (Look it up.)

Thank you for that bit of info. I will search around for some documentation on that.

Then why did you re-title it to "Bill Belichick Might Be a Mac Guy" when you posted it? That's not the original title of the article. Macs are not mentioned anywhere in the article. It seems like you were the only one saying

I don't think the idea is that it makes you dumb your whole life. Just in the moment. That matches my own personal observation at least.

Right, but switching to Linux will not solve anything for those people either because they will not be allowed to do that either. The person who wrote this up article obviously has complete control over their computer don't they?
226.
by WayneBro 10y ago
OK whether it's a problem or not is definitely up for debate. The bigger point here is that switching to Linux would not help those people either.
227.
by WayneBro 10y ago
That's a very small and insignificant caveat. It's like saying that Linux is no good because there's this one distro (ChromeOS) that doesn't let you do anything.

So, instead of taking 30 seconds to disable automatic Windows Updates, this person decided to have a hissy fit and throw the baby out with the bath water. The instructions are pretty simple. You have to toggle one setting. Done - http:&#x2F

Pffft. "probably some margin of error anyway" is a gross understatement. It was 47.9% of the 40k developers who responded. Not even a half percent of the entire software development community :) Enterprise devs make up the largest

Nah, it's not going to happen. Especially because that "50/50" number isn't even close to being a true measurement. The survey covered a whole ~40,000 people out of the ~11 million pro developers in the world. That&

Really? Could you point one out then please? I just read every root comment and I don't see one example of "low-effort trolling".

How is it that you have 2 reference implementations, written in 2 different cross platform environments, yet there is no support for Windows? Why would I use this if I can't use it everywhere?

Windows 8 was not a UX disaster. It just wasn't finished. How long did you use it for? I personally used it the whole time it was available. Despite the fact that it was unfinished, it was still vastly superior in many ways to other de
