It really depends from building to building.

If the building has a ton of bandwidth, good QoS rules and not too many people on the network all at once, the only downside is that you won’t have any control over the network and cant make any changes.

If the building has a shitty connection, no QoS, or too many people, then you are likely to get bad service.

This is the correct take.

Content warnings on everything seems silly until you think about what the alternative is. It’s much better to have largely uncensored media that people can engage with intellectually, making their own decisions if they want to experience it or not.

The alternative is visible in the advertiser-friendly hellscape that mainstream social media has become, where people can’t even say words like “kill” or “drug” without being buried by the algorithm.

For a healthy society to exist, people need to be able to interact with sensitive topics and challenging ideas.

I remain cautiously optimistic.

Having a real viable alternative to Android or IOS that is as easy as going and buying a new phone, will be a boon for everyone.

If that company also sells some weird Alexa knockoff, then thats fine. I simply won’t buy it.

This was a pretty good series on the subject. He goes into what “currency” is right at the beginning

Fun game:

Any time you see a comparison between two similar things, check if the difference is consent. It comes up more often than you’d expect.

Turns out that people are assholes regardless of platform

Honestly, T2 and Aliens are masterworks of genre fiction. Titanic was also good, but it really was just “what if a love story had incredible VFX?”

After winning a few Oscars, I think he finally started believing his own hype. That’s when he realized he could just make whatever he wanted, because studios would bankroll anything with his name attached.

This is literally what the phrase “the customer is always right” is about.

If you’re a company that sells red widgets, but the customers want blue widgets, then you should sell blue widgets or perish.

The customers have made it clear they want a made with AI label. Even if Tim is right(unlikely) and all future development will use AI, it just means that all games will have the tag. If the customers want it, it should be there.

It didn’t hurt them with Bojack and I don’t think it will hurt them much here

That is in fact what I mean.

AI and lootboxes are both technologies that increase the money-making potential of a game at the cost of the experience. Ie: games are made worse for their inclusion, but it happens because the suits want a bigger paycheck.

“AI free” is the same thing as “Lootbox free”

It’s an inclusion that significantly helped the executive bottom line, while harming the player experience. You run into these sorts of conflicts when there is a struggle between the art, and the money made from the art.

There isn’t really anything that tastes like beer other than beer. As others have said, the non-alcoholic versions have gotten pretty good over the last few years.

I’m also quite partial to unsweetened iced tea. Just make a very strong tea and pour it over ice and chill, optionally add lemon juice to taste.

Cold brew coffee is also quite nice, but personally, I prefer that one as a sweet drink mixed with sweetened condensed milk.

In my experience as a Windows sysadmin, AD and HyperV are the big two.

I will espouse support for AD readily, it’s very good at what it does and connects with M365 with minimal setup. HyperV is also a perfectly cromulent hypervisor, but in that space, They all serve the same function and none I’ve worked with really have a killer feature that sets it apart from the others.

Is it like this for car guys too?

Like, if you finish a bunch of work replacing head gaskets or some other work that involves taking half the engine apart, when you start it for the first time is there a nagging feeling like “What if I forgot something and I’m about to ruin thousands of dollars?”

What those EU governments are doing is out of interest for national security rather than hate for licensing. The US has changed drastically in the last decade and getting your sensitive data out of their infrastructure is a top priority.

The cost of change from Windows to Linux is pretty small for an individual. Most people have one or two machines and a handful of programs, none of which are critical to your continued existence.

In the corporate world, you need to be absolutely sure that everything will work flawlessly, which often means weeks or months of testing on top of all your regular IT duties, constant support tickets to obscure software vendors who may not have ever worked with Linux, and if some mission-critical piece of software breaks, then the company cannot operate until it is fixed…or you can continue to use Windows, even though it sucks more now.

I want Linux to have wider adoption in the desktop space, but it’s a catch 22. People aren’t going to move unless the software is guaranteed to work, and Linux-based software isn’t going to be made unless people are using it. This is why Proton was such a big deal. It offered a real option for gaming to move to the platform and now it’s viable and devs are starting to take linux into account.

Microsoft is bleeding power users and PC enthusiasts at an unprecedented rate. This is a great thing for Linux, but they are still absolutely locked into the corporate world and that’s where the money is.

The reality is that Microsoft solved management of corporate policy and identity like 25 years ago and nothing else has come close. It has its problems, but Active Directory is an incredible piece of software. The combination of LDAP, with obfuscation of Kerberos to the point where you don’t even need to know it exists, combined with policy deployment to endpoints is nothing short of a miracle.

Linux has tools for all those things, but none are easy to deploy or configure. If you have to manage thousands of desktops, Windows is still the clear choice

Why dont the AI bros simply embrace that grindset they’re always talking about and learn to fucking draw. Art is a marketable skill unlike “prompt engineer”

For real. I got my hands on a fully loaded PowerEdge 2900 around 2017 and it added almost $100 to my monthly power bill.

I think I might start referring to the patriarchy as “the women mines”

Until some details drop about how they plan to actually enforce this, I wouldn’t bother with trying to archive all that.
