Businesses will embrace this. The data will be tied to the m365 data governance agreement.

I’d support a regulation that defines either an expiration date or commitment to open source at the time the hardware is sold.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Citrix is used heavily in many industries.

How? Chrome is mostly chromium. They don’t sell Chrome, it’s free and they contribute to the project for free.

I propose we swap and only work 2 days a week.

A/b testing or code error?

MS isn’t bothered because the vast majority of people don’t give a shit. “Many” is doing a lot of lifting in that paragraph. Its probably more accurate to say “…a few people distrust Edge…”

Find a VAR. listen to the needs of your partner, talk to the VAR and set up sales calls.

Get pricing. Find out if they offer multiple year discounts.

Set up a ticketing system.

Fix the VARs quotes and forward them to your partner, wait for approval.

Follow up in a week.

Follow up in 2 weeks, explain that the quotes expire.

Work late Friday night patching for a 0-day, missing out on date night.

Find out Broadcom bought your homes plumbing and pay 3x what it cost to install to use it for another year.

Your kid got a call from Microsoft and now you can’t access email, fix that ASAP.

Sysadmin and programming are different skill sets. I have yet to see a person that can do both reasonably well.

At this point, I have lost count of the number of times that I’ve left my perfectly working Windows computer at the end of my work day, only to return to a completely broken computer that won’t boot the next morning.

I find this to either be a lie or self inflicted. I manage a small fleet of a few hundred windows systems and all updates have been fine for years.

In the windows admin user groups there are more than a few that are deploying updates within 24hrs of release to thousands of servers and workstations and have not reported issues.

Lastly I think that tech bloggers say things like this to get clicks, so they can get ad revenue. Then they also tell you how to disable updates so they can get more clicks and ad revenue.

It’s disingenuous and probably harmful to be telling people to disable updates that lead them to be exposed to vulnerabilities.

90% sure I saw this guy at a Margaritaville in Palm Springs. Looked exactly like him, had a lanyard and had some sort of assistant walking with him.

Because many 3rd party hardware providers are lazy, while Linux maintainers are not.

Ms provides a way to have drivers deployed over their windows update channels when needed but the hardware provider has to do it.

Linux allows basically anyone to provide a driver.

Love this. I don’t know much about risc-v but I’d love to see it disrupt the market a bit.

Qnx had a lot of features before windows phone in 2013.

I love the idea of risc-v. Good luck to these people.

They don’t meet the us safety standards. It could mean a lot of things like lacking 5mph bumpers, air bags, abs, etc.

Doesn’t mean they aren’t safe.

Zoom oddly enough was one of the first companies to require people to return to office.

“The year of Linux on the Desktop” is in the article. This again? Been reading this for decades and it’s still not true.

Linux is close, but has some core flaws that will forever keep it out of mainstream acceptance by your average user.

Password generator used the date/time to create the password. It was fixed a long time ago.

You can do that today with their setup I think. You would need to plug the pump into one of their batteries and run their solar panel to the battery. You’d also put the battery on grid power.

The article is focused on an inverter that pushes energy back to the grid, something we don’t have yet at this market level.
