Honestly, this does explain why vendors like HP seem to have every possible combo of device available in their business class laptops as Intel CPU options, but it’s sometimes like pulling teeth to get equivalent AMD options.
It’s sometimes a PITA if a client specifically wants an AMD machine for some reason.
If a school provides a device to a student to take home there’s two possible outcomes.
They provide a managed device, and with any management tool, there’s a way to invade privacy, intended or not.
They provide an unmanaged device and get sued by parents for letting their"innocent snowflake" access unwanted content.
In both instances there’s something to legitimately complain about, but I still say the first option is the better one. The problem comes with oversight and auditing on the use of those management tools.
Not to mention that even with the second option of unmanaged devices, invasion of privacy can still occur if students are stupid enough to use the school provided accounts (Google, 365,etc)
I’ve seen this episode of doctor who.
Do not use that water, do not drink it, don’t use it for growing food, just stay as far away from it as possible.
Yarrrrrr indeed
Companies see that as a mistake. They want you on a subscription for life that they can arbitrarily change at any time.
Profits not increasing enough for this quarter? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads.
Profits increased amazingly this quarter? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads.
Profits down? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads, and start adding extra paywalls to some content
They want you to own nothing. Oh you unsubscribed? Sorry even the content you paid extra to unlock was only available while your subscription continued, you will need to start your subscription again and then pay to unlock the content again.
A show isn’t popular enough? Better write it off, pull it from all distribution so you can claim it as a tax write off
Honestly might be part of it, by going out of spec on the timestamps it probably let’s them more easily insert different length ads
They make a bunch of the other chips that go into computer devices, and from what I understand it’s binary blob or nothing for a lot of it?
Process sugar (diabeetus)
Too small for me, would fall right back out.
Games need to live closer to the bleeding edge than a lot of other software.
Also, for wine/proton, and the other customisations built into the deck, it makes sense to pick a starting point that is more built for customisation. By that I mean there was probably less things they needed to add or remove at the start.
As mentioned, it’s also likely there was personal bias internally. But even that can be a valid reason as they need to be familiar/comfortable with the starting distro.
Not saying that Debian cannot do it, but doing it this way probably made valve’s employees lives easier.
It honestly was a bit of a rushed conclusion (sorry for the pun). It basically existed to give the series a bit of closure, but leave it open at the same time if that makes any sense.
By the end of it they were out of immediate peril, and sailing onwards to discovery (thankfully not a crossover).
Who wants to bet one of the arguments he wanted to use was "Twitter doesn’t exist anymore, I run a platform called X, therefore well don’t need to honour any Twitter contracts "
If you have a dynamic IP from your ISP, could be you got unlucky and were given a address previously used by attackers.
Or if you have a static IP on a VPS or similar, they may have had a lot of attacks from the IP Range.
By attacks in this instance I mean people setting up phishing or similar websites as the most common example. A simple web form, probably with obfuscated code. They then send a bunch of emails line "click here to view your invoice"and gather office 365 credentials.
While it’s not good that this kind of false positive happens from time to time, I am more thankful this kind of service exists. Yes, there’s privacy and security implications, but smart screen has stopped legitimate attacks at our clients before, and we force it enabled wherever possible.
Yes.
The purpose of multi factor authentication is that it requires multiple factors, that can be:
These are the most common examples.
A sane firewall configuration should have no/minimal impact on a desktop focused OS.
On the other hand, sometimes programs are really badly made and expect stupid things like there being no firewall.
You should have one yes, but to each their own.
I manage a bunch of windows computers and regularly make adding firewall rules part of install scripts, good example: Dreamweaver.
Most schools track a students “publishing permission” or similar, basically a checkbox in their systems that says if a student/their parents have consented to allow pictures of the student to be published by the school. It could be that your parents did not opt out, or did opt to allow publishing pictures of you.
You should check with your parents and the school. If you’re afraid of retaliation and don’t want to check, there’s really nothing else to be done.
Amount of content in the form of posted items I think is good. But the lack of comments/discussion is disappointing at times. That being said, I do not miss the lack of useless comments like “first”, or ones that were just “r/relatedsub”, etc.
I know I could have gone that path, but I’m a techie at heart who loves pushing buttons, sometimes having to get myself out of a mess I created.
It’s a hobby to self host things for me. Given that I host it in a docker container also means I’m yet to break it. I think the self host option also gives you a few more features than the free bitwarden official host option?
Make sure you get a reputable VPN to avoid issues with any “questionably acquired” content.
