Yeah this. My old 3700X rig would need to be power cycled 3-4 times before it booted. This turned out to be the Radeon GPU I chucked in it inflaming the boot sequence in some way. Put an nvidia one in and it was fine. The Radeon worked fine

If this is the new status quo then I suggest we find out how to fuck up the corpus as best as possible.

I'm more worried that this is unsurprising to me now rather than it being an issue. The sheer amount of fragmentation, poor engineering, poor commercial decisions and quality issues that surround the Microsoft ecosystem is quite frankl

I think it's more important that we have tried and tested technology in safety critical devices than be experimented on at the bleeding edge. Imagine a vehicle that was just a vehicle and not another platform to upsell shit on until th

It's the leaseholders who handled it. They sent out updated terms for the apartment building which extended insurance exclusions. Not in USA for ref...

No if the place burns down and there's an EV of any kind in there then they don't pay out. Covers explicitly eBikes and hybrids as well.

When insurers get on this you know there's a problem. Our insurers void our building insurance if anyone parks an EV in the underground car park...

Hey at least that’s deniably dishonest. We are tangibly dishonest when we fund a conference in our sector and win best product in the sector every year!

Ah another thing to assist in the burning of my dick and the flattening of my battery.

Anything T470 and before was good IMHO. That excludes the T440 where they screwed up the touchpad arrangement. I use exclusively apple M1 kit now and keep Linux in the cloud. I honestly can’t go back now to a thinkpad.

Triggered yes. Unlocked no. Probably not. Post covid, the laptop glut is huge and prices have declined to negligible.

For a number of years I used to buy BIOS locked thinkpads off ebay for pittance, do this and sell them again as working. Made a small fortune. Most of them were from ex corps who just pulled the disks out and the disposal company didn'

That's a depressingly accurate portrayal of the situation.

Most of the time it's no the answer I know, it's how to find it. All I want to do is walk them through the thought process and instil some rigour in diagnostics.

Oh man no one cares any more. They fudge through it slowly when there's a problem and forget about it immediately. I've seen teams waste 3 months unable to fix a simple issue and I've walked in and seen it right away. Can I p

I think we need a vulnerability buzzword bingo.

Same as the old land rovers I used to work on. 2mm was considered miraculous tolerances anywhere. If something didn't line up it usually got hit until it did.

Some people are waiting to be offended. I used Mighty Boosh as a test image a couple of years back and was told off for it. https://imgur.com/a/hOfmKpy

Your last line is the current operating position for Microsoft. They hide this under marketing blogs.

There probably is but ISO certs are just paperwork filed. Reality is different.

It’s fine. You can take shortcuts in Ikea if you need to. Apple Watch compass helps :). My favourite is entering via the exit and just picking up what you wanted anyway. Arrive when it opens, leave 10 minutes later.

Just stick an Amazon t shirt on, a reflective yellow waistcoat and a box and you can walk into most SMEs without anyone blinking an eye. I've seen it done hundreds of times...

I worry when this is an issue for all cars. I think I'm going to buy an old series Land Rover and electric convert it myself if that happens.

Not really. They only have 83-90 million users. That's not really a big table, at least in my world...

Oh yes this. It's so easy to critically fuck up an invite into an organisation. If you get typo the username you are potentially compromised. I've seen a couple of near misses on this already. Note: the invite input box actually a

Yeah all over that one. We used these guys to make some slides for us https://www.digitalslides.co.uk/ ... They were loaded into an old Rollei slide projector.
