Microsoft’s phone link app works with iphones messaging app now.

His face creeps me out so much. I usually try to attack the policies and not the person but it is just too much for me.

It’s like if Jason Bateman was cast in an oddball version of Batman where the Penguin was actually Isaac Asimov.

Meanwhile Sweeney is being litigious instead of inventive.

Not that the lawsuits don’t have merit, just very interesting to see the vast difference in focus between the two companies.

This feels like something a C-suite came up with to carve out extra profit and had some bean counters crunch the numbers on, fluffed them up a bit and then had the company roll with it on his idea.

I’m usually disappointed by consumer apathy, but from everyone I talk to who has a car with a screen, if they have CarPlay/Android Auto they couldn’t do without it, and if they don’t have it it’s the biggest thing they wish they had.

I’d agree with your first statement if they were getting the boot in the place of a company with honesty, value, integrity, quality and security.

GM is none of those things, and it’s highly unlikely they’ll ever be any of those things.

This is bad news.

My one hope is that the meltdown is tied to commercial real estate, which will hopefully avoid this whole thing.

I think this is obvious to anyone that has viewed the damage that the extreme weather has brought in recent years

The issue was, is and will continue to be whose pocketbook it’s hurting.

Almost exclusively the damages will be suffered by poor and middle class, and paid out by public coffers while the profits made by NOT making these changes will be private and for the rich.

We’re not going to see any change until this starts hurting the rich.

Do we know why? For Americans, I can see the nihilism of the grunge era affecting the latter part of that group, and possibly having a lasting effect towards political compass.

But I can’t think of a reason of the top of my head for European millennials driving so deep into that side of politics.

lol exactly.

I want to show up, do work, get paid, be left alone.

I’ll do really good work, and take pride it in because that’s just who I am, but I don’t want to do overtime, I don’t want to go above and beyond for the company, I don’t want to play office politics, I don’t want to jockey for higher roles. None of it.

Show up, get paid.

This is it right here.

If I want to watch something, can I do it within 2 minutes?

Now? If it’s not in the current app I’m in and featured, unlikely.

Piracy? Through a handful of services, local or remote, I can be watching that movie in one place in 30 seconds in the highest quality.

What service was once decent has been ruined by capitalism again.

Amplitube is great, I really like BIAS as well.

I’m commenting on this again because I actually tried this tonight. The info is pretty sparse. I know it’s an alternate install method, but in bottles there’s a lot of variables.

Even just knowing which runner was used in testing would help a ton, as there are quite a few, and each has tons of versions.

Fucking disgusting.

They do. Not. Need. More. Money.

They’re counting on people being complacent and just whitelisting.

The problem is, they’re probably right to try the tactic too. People need those dopamine hits.

Is it fun yet?

Thanks!

The Linux install method link on that page leads to a page not found

That economic loss isn’t affecting the people it needs to affect for there to be real change. That’s the problem.

On my main server: I have my SSD RAID1 ZFS snapshots of my container appdata, VM VHDs and docker image, that is also backed up as a full backup once per night to the RAID10 array, then rsynced to the backup server which then is uploaded to the cloud.

The data on the RAID is backups, repos or media that I’ve deposited there for an extra copy it for serving via Plex/Jellyfin. I have extra copies of the data, and if I were to lose the array totally, I wouldn’t be pleased, but my personal pictures/videos wouldn’t be in danger.

I run two back up servers, which both upload to the cloud. One of which takes bare metal images of all my computers (sans servers bulk drives), the other which takes live folders.

This is more due to convenience so that I can pull a bare metal image to restore a device, or easily go find a file with versioning online if necessary on both accounts.

As a wise man said, you can never have too many backups.

I had a recruiter after me hard one time. They had a company they were trying to grow and had already plucked away a couple of guys from my team.

He offered what he thought was an aggressive offer based on what the other guys said they were making.

I asked about WFH, he said the company preferred people in the office to collaborate. This was my third time asking this, the first two times I told him this was a non-starter, and this offer was to try to go above and beyond that to sway me with dollar signs.

I laid out the costs that were involved: commuting, car, gas, childcare, lunch, etc. and how his aggressive offer still had me coming up behind, and that’s before I even take into account time and comfort lost.

He’s called back again twice, and it’s the same freaking question, “any movement on work from home?”

We all know the answer.
