Not an expert but I believe you'd need to enable a domain controller service like active directory, before you can be a domain controller.

I feel so bad for Hong Kong. So much spirit and culture will be lost from this transition to authoritarian rule.

I realize you're probably a true believer, but for a lot of people there is no truth. The bible is written by people, translated by people, and interpreted by people. I don't believe in your religion or any other, but even assumin

What's the possibility of this being money, treasure, or some kind of bartering token?

Personally, I feel like I can do written communication without being passive aggressive.

Wow, and I thought having no 13th floor, or floors with 4 in them, was nonsense.

Put yourself in the shoes of the person you're talking to, and try to understand how you are coming across. How would you feel if you were them?

The complexity of the situation really goes so far beyond "good guy" and "bad guy". China is intensely polluted and wasting an insane amount of energy on a poorly performing anarchist monetary system. They have many ince

The touchpad doesn't work properly on windows either, and the CPU draws a lot of wattage no matter what OS you use. I would bet on most people having a similar experience between the X1 Extreme and the X1 Carbon, but sure, maybe the de

That's what the thread is about. My recommendations are specifically about linux laptops, and why the X1 Extreme was a bad Linux laptop.

Have you used one of the other ones with Linux?

The touchpad is essentially busted. I get about 1s of lag before the cursor starts moving on every touch. I was hoping that improvements to libinput would resolve this but I'm starting to think it's hopeless. The dGPU is useless w

Stay away from the X1 Extreme lineup though. Mine is terrible and I would stay away from the entire segment.

Since leaving university, I haven't been able to read books unless I'm on vacation. Fiction or non-fiction. I read all day long. It's literally all I do, aside from typing, at work. So the prospect of cracking open a book at

It's a crappy metric. What about: Time to stop from 60 mph? Effective turning radius at 60 mph? Interior noise in decibels at 60 mph? Maximum shock absorption at 60 mph?

Wow, does it ever. This picture in particular looks just incredibly sketchy. https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/oYAZSOBmMEibujjd.med... I would be scared out of my mind if I found that on my car.

No chance. Once the most cloistered people in our world are materially impacted, it will be far too late to mount any kind of response. It might already be too late.

John Steinbeck is dead, and the world doesn't owe him anything either. No need to scold people who are interested in history.

Yikes. I've been remote working for 4 years and I care a great deal about my coworkers, including the ones I've never met face to face. Hopefully they don't feel the same way you do.

Not to diminish your friend, but that house was almost certainly inspected by an engineer before anyone slept in it at all. It takes a village.
