I find managing the system to be more tiring and stressful than just driving to be honest. I do not like when my vehicle behaves in a way I didn’t anticipate. Maybe I just need more time with it but, my toyota had adaptive cruise and slamme

Okd was a mess when i tried to use it years ago. The documentation was just a 1:1 copy-paste of openshift docs despite significant differences in installation. It really wanted you to use OLM but the upstream operators like maestra (the ist

Non power users just want a desktop with a browser shortcut, and maybe office apps. I extended the life of a laptop many years for my aging non technical parents. I even encrypted the hard drive for them and since Microsoft basically commit

To be fair, while many of those are indeed optional or non-issues, the problem is that user experience has been degraded in w11 while there has been almost zero value-add for end users.

I would imagine a significant portion of the cloud revenue is derivative of windows though. Whether that’s lift and shift workloads or entra id which is picked over alternatives for its compatibility with existing windows and AD infrastruct

You just get used to trail running over time. If you’re nimble and light on your feet a slip almost never turns into a fall. With practice you dodge the bad steps without much thought or you step knowing it’s iffy, slide and keep running. Y

Loans can be confusing in double entry accounting for the uninitiated. On the accounting side you have liabilities:mortgage which would only include the principal. Then for an individual bill you have to debit liabilities:mortgage the princ

Using tech bro on Torvalds is well outside the pattern of usage I’ve seen, which trends more towards GP’s definition, at least in the past 5 years.

You’re missing the common alternative in the modern age which is the manufacturer not selling the part at all and being left with a pile of unrepairable junk despite an otherwise functioning device. Laptop hinges were notorious for killing

My relationship with my employer is coercive, not consensual. They have something I need in order to survive. If I leave it will have deleterious effects on the quality of my life. You could make the argument that they are not the ones coer

Yes, we should not have built internet scale services and forums if it was not possible to moderate them effectively.

Yes everyone does do that. Most people will not take a tangential single sentence criticism of an institution to mean that you hold none of the typical accompanying political views and are just narrowly opining on your experience. I would i

And this is in contrast to private schools how? Just that they may diverge from the current moral zeitgeist to insert their own morals in the same places?

I am in support of the ICC largely and would prefer that the US were a member. Maybe we wouldn’t be living with the shame of crimes like abu ghraib if we had ratified. Historical counterfactuals are tricky and I’m not an expert on Russia’s

None of those countries are the preeminent military and political power in the world. Most stand to lose significantly less as signatories. The US does not need to be a member of the ICC to influence it, and they can largely operate with im

Pragmatically what does the US gain from joining? From a US perspective it would just be ceding power no? Only a year after Clinton signed the statute 9/11 was perpetrated. I can’t imagine any of the most powerful countries would have

Is there any precedent for the ICC prosecuting accessory to genocide? Have they prosecuted any of the actual state parties to the Rome statute who are still providing arms to Israel? I don’t think it’s as clear cut as you say it is.

My company uses both outlook and slack. Teams is also used for scheduled meetings but never touched for chat. I personally don’t find teams to be significantly worse than zoom but I’d rather never use either.

I wouldn’t describe a corvette as beefy but I might call its engine beefy and i would definitely call a diesel truck beefy. I think servers, especially bare metal, are in the category of grunt and raw power. Beefy feels right.

Separate vlans for iot devices with strict firewall rules is generally enough to mitigate the threat of most iot devices phoning home i think. We’re already in the territory of hobbyists who should be able to manage that with these suggesti

Well it’s just one less plus in the macOS column. I switched from pixel to iPhone in large part because pixel removed the rear fingerprint reader, headphone jack, and a UI shortcut I used multiple times a day. It’s not like the iPhone had t

Many organizations are willing to accept the fallbacks of cloud backup storage because it’s the tertiary backup in the event of physical catastrophe. In my experience those tertiary backups are there to prevent the total loss of company IP

I’m no expert but traditional lead acid battery UPS are typically at the bottom of the rack due to weight and concern about leakage. Wouldn’t surprise me if li-ion UPS go at the bottom as well. In that case if uncontrolled it seems pretty e

It’s certainly hyperbolic but lack of autonomy and complete financial dependence were pretty par for the course for women back in the day. My grandma slowly squirreled away money in a shoe box over decades as she had no personal bank accoun
