Yeah, I can think of an oranger, worster candidate…

I, for one, welcome our new unelected , lifetime-appointed overlords.

I can’t dance!🥲

And if a company makes a negligent decision, which kills a million people over time, why is no one being put on death row? They can and do have it both ways, but I can still wish for a just world where if companies are people, they can be put to death for mass casualties caused by their decisions.

Dialed up to Windows 11!

Google is next!

I just destroyed the toilet in my IL college’s bathroom!

You’re thinking of a super soaker!

Depending on how the US elections go in November, Americans may soon find out.

…(which I’ll admit I thought was a scam back when I was forced to make an account way back when I had dial up)…

Oh man, I cursed Valve and Steam back then. It effectively made LAN parties of the time impossible since you could no longer share media and needed Internet access to play. Back then, only business had the “fast” Internets while everyone else had 56k baud modems. Hard to do much when your max download speed for the entire connection was 5kb/s.

I have saved this reply for the near future when I rebuild my server box to run Linux! Thanks again for your knowledge and information!

I’ll take a look at it, thanks!

Sometimes I look at my watch or clocks in 24hr time and will say it’s" 9pm" or it’s “6pm” when really it’s 1900 and 1600.

I think it’s related to the inconsistent time format that we have to balance. Most people don’t use 24hr so I can’t just say, it’s 1900 or 1600, and my brain does some quick math shortcuts, which blurts out the last number of the hours spot.

Gonna be a confusing time for my son when he starts to learn how to tell time.

Ahh the early 2000s. What a time to be a teenager with new tech, a dialup network, and bootleg videos that occasionally contained someone’s browser or a floating mouse or a separate video that briefly starts playing over the screen-capped video!

Back when the Internet was new and not a dying corpse, drained of all it’s essence by monied interests!

Question, if a square on your bingo card is titled, “collapse of society,” can I still use it for this?

Edit: explanation for this particular user is below.

I’d imagine it’s due to a lot of smaller companies/orgs that can’t afford it and have too few users or machines to justify the costs associated with management infrastructure and costs. I know a lot of companies just buy machines with Pro and have some local IT configure them manually. Pro is marginally better than Home, with regards to management capabilities, but still has some bullshit that is tough to manage consistently.

Technically, GPOs are just registry adjustments with English definitions tacked on. No doubt there will be tools for Home editions to fix this; for those that look, that is.

An example of this, that comes to mind, is Windows Update Blocker (WUB). All it does is enable the policies that block Windows Updates from Microsoft servers and stops their attempted workaround of the Windows Update Medic or whatever it is, which is solely talked with making sure the WU service is running. These are the same policies/registry settings that are triggered when an enterprise org uses WSUS to control update deployment.

I don’t doubt, though, that Microsoft will to something shitty to ensure Home users cannot block it forever.

Yeah, gonna suck for all those with Home who become the AI trainers of tomorrow! While it’ll suck for us in IT who constantly have to pivot and scramble to block shit every time Microsoft or other software company decides to jam AI into it’s product.

You sound like me with Docker. Still unsure how to use that shit but haven’t sat down to really try again, either.

I agree, reverse proxy was also a little mind numbing before I really buckled down and read/watched a bunch of info on it. I learn best by examples and try-fail, but that’s hard to do with live services.

Microsoft is the guy who designs cupholders and never tries them out!
