As a linux user, stuck in microsoft's 99% world, using their apps are painful. Use of standard browser plugins like noscript and ublock origin, they constantly complain about insecure sites using office365, forcing me to whitelist and

I get annoyed every time people post twitter links here and wish they'd stop. Since twits requires javascript (to infect/track everyone) now, I just will not. It's like the old paywall site argument, will you sell your soul

If Walmart can figure out how to do this, why aren't more businesses doing this? Rather than UberEats, you get UberInsulin.

Thank you, I block twitter universally at my firewall these days, really annoying people post urls there like paywall links. Only you pay with your soul.

No wonder he was promoted, so he'd stop doing stupid things like that. Obviously they've not wiped up enough after him.

Tell China no, they extricate you from the country, and rewrite history that you never existed. Tell the FBI no, they'll posture, threaten, and sue, but not do anything too extreme that can't be payed off with lobbying and other b

The prison system is a worthless (unless corporate) racket (prisoners and family), double billing both external and internal sources, using 1998 activeX websites in 2013 to even try to deal or communicate that no one could even use (particu

Most every .gov workshop is a windows shop, and will mandate windows software, been here many times. Solarwinds is a good microsoft slave, and not horrible for network management software, but not so much up on security as selling software

Hardest part these days is finding the rss feed. It used to be $url/rss, and gold. Then people moved on to fakebook and twitting, and it was forgotten. I use theoldreader.com for news since google reader died, so long as I find decen

I just edit files with masterpdf under the linux free version, and send them back with a transparent png of my signature merged. Good enough.

I always set anything twitter to untrust in noscript, and just ignore/close anything that comes up linking to them like most common vermin ad/tracking services. Not sure why anyone would link to them as "news", pictures

Every SV CxO that hates seeing 220 other Teslas like theirs upon entrance to their parking garage needs this to be redeemed. Only there will be 220 new Taycan owners to redeem themselves as soon as orders go through and everyone unilaterall

My first and last experience with AirBnB was a lack of AC, fan, or anything in a very hot, humid home rental in Santa Monica last year for a month straight during an abnormally hot (go figure) summer. I had to find/invest in as large

My xps15 9560 has been a basketcase under ubuntu or arch linux, mostly due to the nvidia gpu never playing well with, well any other gpu. In general I'd recommend avoiding anything with a "hybrid" gpu solution. The downside i

So they're going to bank on the $60k desktop or the $4k laptop vs. the $1500 phone? I guess there's always beats with $300 headphones too.

A very good friend of mine went through 2 years of prison due to a string of unfortunate incidents, and one of the best sysadmin/devops folks I know well before, and even after. They read a lot of fiction, as the "system" wa

I remember a little site called fuckedcompany.com circa 1999 that was a great dirt rag on businesses in the bay area at the time to know whether or not to go work there. People started disclosing way too much info about companies and peopl

My largest complaint is every time some company's crap security gives up my credit card and PII data, the card companies protect the stupid in not telling me who it was. I find this abhorrent, as if I knew, I'd simply never deal
