I was hoping your last sentence was a replacement for Excel. I use Excel to maintain the books for my business. I’ve built a really nice book for keeping track. The thought of migrating it to something where certain functions may not work keeps me paying my subscription fees.
In my state seating is assigned just about everywhere.
His newest flick was excellent and it bombed, so there’s some disconnect here. I think it suffered a Shawshankian fate though.
“Go away, I’m batin’!”
That’s a fight I’ll take up arms for.
I see a lot of the same people, recognize the names. I argue with some, know I’ll agree with others. I like it. It harkens back to old forum days for me. Reddit may as well be anonymous1 talking to anonymous2, maybe outside of some more niche subs, but here, I can comment on a post about corn and recognize a few of the names who are also commenting.
So long as you’re equal opportunity with your hate it’s good to go.
Yeah, I work for your biggest social media comoetitor, why would I not just go post slop all over your platform with the intent of getting you fined?
I dunno, someone just throws this up on social media, and you’re the person in the position to say hey, halt the trains, don’t you do just that out of an abundance of caution?
Crazy, but it’s almost like parenting can make the environment safer!
Lemmy likes to portray Roblox the same way the 10pm news portrayed the Internet when I was in my preteens and teen years, like it was the wild west, everyone was a predator, etc. I let my kids hop on. Their friends include me, their mom (who has an account for some reason), each other, and the kids who live across the street. They like to play the platformers, and they invite me sometimes and we play them.
They’ll get older and they’ll go explore the internet the same way I did. I spent my adolescence and teen years eventually in AIM chat rooms, then forums, and thn Skyping random people, and somehow didn’t become a terrorist, didn’t get predated. I also am of the school of thought that you need to learn things on your own, rather than have no exposure to things that could potentially be bad.
I also am part of the “I downloaded jerboa first and it’s good enough” crew.
That’s one hundred percent what I thought I was going to see. We’ve been doing it as people, making movies with black people to appeal to black people, making ghost busters with all women to appeal to women. And I’m by no means suggesting that it is effective, but I’m also just some white guy and everything has been targeted at me. I just figured the ad would look more like you, and it’d make you more comfortable, or that would be the idea.
Yeah, I think the whole idea of the US wanting the chips produced inside its own borders makes sense in a vacuum. China fucks around (which, sure, is against their character), chips are safe.
Obviously we don’t live in a vacuum, and the US diplomatic mission is, at best, totally unreadable, and at worst, won’t help anyone but itself.
As with just about any other nation, the US is using what is ostensibly it’s only bargaining chip these days, their massive consumerism, knowing that Taiwan sells the majority of its chips to the US.
This play seems to be Trump’s only play: Demand something outrageous, with some thinly veiled threats overlaying the demand. Get rejected. Receive counterproposal that is far, far less than initial demand. Tout superiority.
I have little to no background in IT or CS, but I always wanted to set up networks with those Ubiquiti antennas that can broadcast out a few kilometers. I got a buddy who just happens to be a few kilometers away. We could set up our own private, albeit incredibly limited, internet. Outside of that, if you’re using a utility or a service, you can’t expect your info to be locked up right. And so you need to keep certain shit offline, or use a HAM radio, or some other kind of private network for broadcasting, which is not feasible. But it would be neat.
Could always have a really long string with cans on either end. Can’t tap that phone.
I use Google suite. Use it for work stuff, general bullshit. Works great. None of the data going over it is of particular import (to me).
There are things that I believe require a better handling, and they’re handled differently, all the way up to physical media.
It just might be naive, in this day and age, to think a company won’t cooperate with authorities. Yes, there are exceptions, but they either fear repercussions or they were never built well enough to keep authorities out in the first place.
Unfortunately I don’t have a receipt in my email for it because I bought it at MicroCenter, got a really good deal on it. So I can’t remember what gen. I think I just need to enable the TPM thingy in the bios, but that it was specifically the processor that was the issue. All this is beyond me, I’m in following instructions mode and not inherent knowledge mode.
A buddy of mine has the same, we bought them together, so I know it’ll work, I just need to do the work.
I’m a little out of date in my tech knowledge, but I built my current PC, built them all, always had enough knowledge to just get my shit going. It’s a 9900k so I got a do the bios thingy to make it work with 11, but I just haven’t gotten around to doing it. I know it’s not a big deal, but here I am. I even did something in the bios not too long ago trying to use Docker to host a Minecraft server for my kids.
And so yeah, if I didn’t have to TPM, it’d be over and done, but I’m just dragging my feet, and will presumably continue to do so. Hey, maybe they announce a moving of the deadline, I feel like that’s been a thing in the past.
And let me just get out ahead of this: I have a proprietary software that only works with Windows. I’m in a niche field. I’m also not so aggressive about the whole OS thing, it works fine for me. I turn on computer (who am I kidding, it’s on 24/7 for literally every) and it starts up quickly, does what I need it to do, etc. I have laptops with 11 and they do the same. I turn off the stupid copilot features, do some light tweaking here and there, as I’ve been doing since XP, and it works.
I am admittedly interested in the Linux, but my interest in using my computer is not what it was back in my teens and early 20s, and so I just don’t care.
I have great gear, I have FLACs, I have 180g records, and I have Spotify, and they all sound fine. Perhaps I come from a time when 192 mp3s were what you downloaded, but IMO if it’s a 320 mp3 or above it sounds the same. Only time I ever noticed and appreciated a difference was when sampling or mixing, and then higher quality can be appreciated, but if I’m just cranking tunes, Spotify, FLAC, or vinyl, really makes no difference, they all drown out the ringing in my ears just fine.
What is it, $100 a year for office? Been a long time, don’t even think about it anymore.
