Consider this; you were taught Microsoft <product> in school as it’s used in work environments, Microsoft <product> is used in work environments as it’s taught in schools or the person making the decision was only taught one product.

Why do you think Microsoft is giving free upgrades from windows 10 to 11, same thing from XP upwards. It’s vendor lock in, and that’s bad for many reasons

No offence, but have you been living under a Microsoft shaped rock for the past 30 years?

I’ve been down this road, java Minecraft is fine, bedrock Minecraft is not. Most people and cross platform play Minecraft use the bedrock version. It’s literally Microsoft saying FU linux

My wife hates been called “luv” mainly old dudes that think they are been nice, so she calls them luv back. Maybe someone needs to be greated every morning with with a nice big smile and a good morning flower.

Also if the getting left on your own for a smoke break when busy happens, just go for a smoke break with her, or be on your phone and say something like “I don’t know where Sarah went she just disappeared, oh wait I’ve found her outside having a smoke break, do you want me to tell her to come back inside”

As it’s a uni job it’s now your mission to wind her up as much as possible, don’t worry about bad references or CV gaps if anything goes wrong.

Also look up constructive dismissal

No not a few seconds. Ever walked near a jackhammer 130dB in the street for a few seconds? That is significantly louder. In general anything over 85dB for a significant amount of time causes damage. Concerts top out at around 110dB and you don’t see people popping eardrums there.

However if you have an ear infection so some other type of damage then maybe?

I read Texas so I’m going to assume it was due to shooting guns

I think you are not understanding how global shipping works, the ship could be owned by company in country A, hired by company in country B, under the flag of country C, cargo owned by country D, crew from country E, F and G or any random mix of everything.

Also the vast majority of goods to Europe goes through the red sea, and Suez canal. Remember what happened last time shipping stopped going through the Suez canal. It directly effects the economies of Europe, which most countries are NATO, so you could say it’s an attack on NATO country, which is article 5 of the treaty, and the only time article 5 has been invoked, was the 9/11 attacks, which led to a 20year(?) war. So maybe there is some interest in not letting it get that far again

Well that sucks, if you ever get in that situation again, but I doubt you will, ask to play a co-op game.

Are they actually called Important Folder (ABC), it might be truncating the name at the spaces, and giving the same folder name 3 times, Try Important_folder_a etc.

The amount of times I’ve had this argument in the office is untrue. I think the default values aren’t stored in the docx file or something like that, but when you manually set a value it does store it in the docx.

Then you have the whole proprietary blobs in a “open” standard to deal with.

The worst offenders are people who format with tabs and spaces and wonder why it’s all messed up.

If you have to use a program that is windows only you have to use windows. I could move our entire company over to Linux if it wasn’t for SOLIDWORKS been windows only.

Wine can be an option but I’ve found it very hit and miss on some of the more obscure windows only programs

In the past I’ve used virtual box (virtual machine) in seamless mode, so it looks just like a window in Linux. I can’t remember why I stopped, I think it was down to licencing and oracle buying it.

Exactly all programs should be web based cloud subscription only. We don’t want that filthy code on our rgb nvme drives

I’ve done it before where a newer version of a program is available that hasn’t been backported, just need to watch the dependencys. Sometimes it works out fine, othertimes you need a second package or 2 to update, othertimes it’s time to upgrade to the latest bleeding edge release of the OS

Oh and sailing, kayaking/paddle boarding, bike rides, at the beach in waves, generally anything that involves getting wet

Did it over android when I first got it, but you can drop the file in folder called update on the SD card https://gopro.com/en/gb/support/hero8-black-product-update/windows?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIupqBnuzbgQMVBcbtCh3oQQDKEAAYASAAEgL72_D_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds Bit of a lol at the instructions, but it’s got everything for windows. I started out with 2/3 smaller SD cards, that’s why I’m doing the SD card dance, have since got a large one but still just pull the SD card out, I’m pretty sure it just works using the usb connection, but don’t use it

I’ve got a GoPro 8, I just pull the SD card out and attach it by usb card reader then dump it to the nas. For pulling clips out I usually us the android GoPro app. Make a 5-10 second video and share it straight off the phone. Most of the videos I do are in 1-3min anyway.

Something like iSCSI as you already have to 10gig card, or fibre channel SAN, apparently qnap supports both, however I’ve never used a qnap or iSCSI For booting https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ISCSI/Boot For the qnap https://www.qnap.com/en/how-to/tutorial/article/how-to-create-and-use-the-iscsi-target-service-on-a-qnap-nas

The general idea is a small boot partition to load kernel and most importantly the drivers for the nic, then mount the Nas over iSCSI and finish loading the os

To be honest a 1TB SATA ssd isnt that much, you could have 10 distros @ 100gb each with extra storage mounted on the nas. 100gb is loads for a Linux OS. I think most of the virtual machines I spin up without a GUI use a 20GB disk

You can also boot directly over the network with pxe/netbootin etc but I’m not sure how that works with an add in network card, as it’s usually a feature of the bios itself

I get it too, but it was a bit of a shock given that the selling points for everything is bigger better faster stronger, otherwise why would people upgrade. It’s like finding something with a micro USB port on it instead of type c

My canon ink tank type printer from mid COVID era is the same, didn’t realise it was only 10/100 on the wired port until I was looking at the switch one day and wondered why I had a yellow light instead of green, was about to run a new network cable until I checked the printer

I put fail2ban on everything, and I manage to lock my self out of systems at least once a month, so I guess it’s working as intended.

Looks like it was added march this year https://github.com/transmission/transmission/pull/4795
