For the average non-technical user going through the trouble of installing an extension to put files on the desktop is a non-starter. If I switched my parents to Linux with GNOME they would be completely lost being unable to put files on th

Just to be clear, you confirmed that it was a short-sighted decision.

I highly recommend using iMazing for your backups. If you have a Mac it's essentially just doing iTunes backups (which in a lot of ways are better than iCloud backups, especially when using the encrypted backup option). The interface i

I got my Titan back in January after 5+ years of sitting on a cheap chair I got from OfficeMax. Having switched jobs during the pandemic and now working from home I needed something better. It wasn't a week after the new job that I sta

They're fundamentally different in the problems they solve. Dropbox is a cloud file storage and syncing service. NextCloud is an open source alternative to something like Dropbox in that it offers file sharing and syncing but also much

RIP the free market. Not the same anymore unfortunately.

Running a private server for a popular game called Maplestory back in 2010. 14 year old me trying to make heads or tails of dns, port forwarding, etc. Hardest part was understanding enough of the code to set things like server messages, spa

Yeah the whole random serial number bit is not a rumor. They've been putting out statements in their internal GSX system about it for well over a year now to plan for it.

Honestly if it's an issue they'd probably tell you you're also using their GeForce cards wrong and you need to move up to Quadro.

I think that usually comes down to the contract being so specifically tailored for a company that they're the only one who could possibly bid and meet the specs for it.

I would say that's an easy question. No, it's not important. Who should decide? Whoever at the company is given the authority to ban people from their website. How? Following whatever protocols they come up with? Want to have thei

Regarding your third point, I've nothing but distain for bikers in my community. They put up signs to be treated like cars (since there generally are very poor shoulders in this area) but then will plow through stop signs and will not

Actually, we should be giving patients. Ketamine is an extremely safe drug for paramedics to give for the safety of the patient and those around them. Especially in cases of excited delerium where the person may actually die because of it.

They don't administer it unless it meets all criteria in their protocols. Something like administering Ketamine would be under a standing order meaning that the paramedics would not need to consult with medical control prior to adminis

Yeah, I'm not exactly sure where you're getting that information. Ketamine is administered in pre-hospital settings only by paramedics. Police cannot give it nor can they order medics to do so.

Maybe I'm just out of the loop but what is the controversy regarding systemd?

I think I see what it means though. The branch uses that commit as a new tip to then branch off of, not necessarily meaning a new branch starts at the existing 'tip'.

What AASP is taking 7 days to replace a battery? We do them all day long as a premiere partner and we always set the expectation at around an hour and a half to be on the safe side.

The DoD uses them extensively. All military personnel are issued one and it’s used for everything from accessing workstations and email to buying your meals at the DFAC.

Yes if it's still under a warranty then Apple will repair or replace it free of charge.

I am ACIT and ACMT certified working for an AASP and you're absolutely right. The Audio IC issue with iPhone 7 and 7+ is awful but Apple refuses to acknowledge it's their problem. They had a rep program for a few months when it fi

Huh, I’ve honestly never really thought of a service like this in that manner. That’s really eye opening.

About time Apple recognized this issue with the iPhone X. We’ve been replacing iPhone X displays nonstop for months due to this issue and the troubleshooting process to have Apple cover it has been a huge pain.
