I saw Vision Pro demos with extending a MacOS desktop into the field of view, and I was highly intrigued, even at that price, as I've been hoping for something like this since Google Glass (which yes, I have). Everything seemed perfect

I contacted IBM regarding looking RH services, I couldn't even get someone to setup a meeting to sell me something after weeks with a sales drone. Purely inept. Death to anything IBM.

More than 20 years ago, I had my first bs claim from a hospital, where at a hospital that was covered by insurance, my doctor they provided happened to be out-of-area because he was a substitute or something unbeknownst to me and became a s

As a 20 year full-time Linux desktop user doing Enterprise IT consulting, running a windoze VM has never NOT been an entirely functional experience for me. I've used both QEMU and Virtualbox to run them, mostly Virtuabox (yes, oracle s

I'd love to know why Microsoft takes this sort of passive aggressive breaking of applications to try to change and fix their obviously sub-par UI in Windows 11, trying to force users to accept and adapt to it, vs improving it by puttin

My current and last laptop was a Thinkpad T15G gen2 (circa 2021), and even with their triple display dock it could never do triple 4k/60 out of it using linux in any stable fashion, so I really don't know how StarTech is accomplis

Ahh, so this is how you protect government-endorsed monopolies worth trillions - shoot the messenger, literally. Now this is getting better than television drama and intrigue!

Has anyone ever heard of an Oracle project that has ever ended well? After 25 years in IT consulting all over the US in different businesses, Oracle is never NOT a 4 letter world, where projects involving them always over-promise, under-del

I'd be curious if these folks live in cold areas... Cold outside, (very) hot inside, expansion/contraction happens. The sad part is Apple's paranoia of (bad) reviews getting out ahead of time probably kept them from any real-

Do they have a product that does NOT spy on users at all? Pretty much everything they do is either cloud connected inherently giving them visibility into what you do, or they feed constant telemetry back of what you do in one form or anothe

There are different grades of "stainless" steel, not all are truly rust/corrosion resistant. Guess which Tesla used? The cheap stuff that still corrodes.

Microsoft Teams is long been terrible and gets worse every year. Every customer I work with that uses Teams, I loath working with or for. It's been terrible since it was Office Communicator, then Lync, Skype for Business, and now Teams

As far as I see it, all advertisements are scams of some form, intending to persuade (or con) you into doing or buying something you probably don't want to. By nature their sole intent is to extract dollars from you in whatever way the

It's like Apple offering a default "privacy vpn", and lately now google too, it's really just a way for them to slurp your data as well what you're visiting, dns resolving, basically everything you do over the netwo

That's crazy that only because of GDPR they expose how nasty Microsoft is selling your data or allow an opt-out, and particularly NOT anyone else including the US. I do hope more mainstream media picks up on this. This ought to be clas

Return on investment, and colleges aren't worth a food stamp. Maybe in weird niches they get recognized, but not as a normal thing. They drown like the rest in the higher education racket.

The body lines in various places have been misalined for some time. Before I got into IT, I did body and paint for years, and it seems a running joke about the body panel misalignment in the cybertrucks for some time. Even from afar you ca

They spent all their time trying to make the stainless body panels actually align, and a shoddy battery got through.

The really interesting bit of this will be what the repair costs look like. Since that thing is all stainless, it's going to make repairs nearly impossible. Having done body and pain vehicular repair at a time in my life, I presume the
