  • Sounds like a good area that's about to get a whole lot better at faking this system. I would just take a picture of a picture if that's what it takes. Then again, I would never do this and will just look elsewhere.

  • Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA

    Jump

  • Nah, I am more of a single-player kind of person. I was barely any good in my prime 25 years ago and I have only gotten worse since so I stick to mostly RPGs or other action style games.

  • Is he really the reason? I just started trying a bunch over the past month through vm's to see which one I like the best because I want to take the leap soon. I am doing it mostly due to the video game performance and compatibility reaching high enough levels that I don't think it will be a big issue anymore. I also listed out all my current Windows apps and looked up what the alternative is, and from what I see, there is nothing left that won't run on Linux anymore. The next step is seeing how some compare to what I am used to.

    I can't be the only one who is noticing its current state and just wanting to try something different. I don't hate windows like everyone talks about it online, but I am at the point where I am noticing they are only going to get worse with privacy and continue to make awful built in features that do more to benefit themselves over you. So the 2 lines have crossed paths, and I think it's the perfect storm for Linux soon.

  • 2 months! I should try this out... if i was still single, a 12 pack would last me like 3 months if not more. Having a wife? A 36 pack lasts like 1 month... its literally a roll a day. It drives me nuts because I honestly can't understand how half of that isn't just waste (if not more).

  • Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate

    Jump

  • That's roughly what I have now, and I only have about 200gb left, so I kind of wish I could get a little more right now. This is across 7 drives. I really hope storing data becomes faster and cheaper in the future because as it keeps growing over the past few decades, it gets longer and longer to replace and move this much data...

  • Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate

    Jump

  • Omg I really have been out of the loop. I originally filled my 8 bay NAS with 6tb drives starting back in 2018. Once they would fill, i added another. 3 years ago, I finally ran out of space and started swapping out the 6tb for 10tb. Due to how it works, I needed to do 2 before I saw any additional space. I think i have 3 or 4 now, and the last one was 2 years ago. They did cost around $250 at the time, and I think i got 1 for just over $200. The fact that I can more than double that for only $300 is crazy news to me. Guess I am going to stop buying 10tb now. The only part that sucks is having to get 2 up front...

  • I guess it depends on the time of day. If it was morning, probably 6 hours because my kids would now be home alone, and as soon as my wife gets home in the afternoon, there's no way she doesn't freak out. Maybe even less since my one kid has a phone that can only call my wife. We have so many things we do every day that if any of us went missing, it would be a huge red flag pretty quickly. Thinking about it now, it feels kind of sad. I like freedom, and right now, I guess I have very little of that, lol.

  • Really? The sound is horrible...

  • I still use the wired ones that came with my zune back in like 2006. They were incredibly good headphones for some reason. Thankfully, I don't use them much. Otherwise, they would probably be broken by now. Im going to be sad when they fo break one day.

  • I have been doing it for years now. Every thursday. I think im somewhere near 300 games now? Games I've purchased from them myself is 2, lol. The amount of free games I've played is like 5 and normally very briefly. I don't think the model is working.

  • Back in a time when shrinkflation wasn't a thing yet, from the looks of how old the Pic is.

  • What old technology are you surprised is still in use today?

    Jump

  • It's not. Information is secure at rest and encrypted during transfer, but once it reaches the part where it is sent over voip using a telecom provider, it has the same issues as it always did. We use it because its the best way to send this many faxes, as well as automate things using our internal applications to send faxes through it as well as other applications that we leverage its API to use the service. One advantage that makes it semi more secure is if we send a fax to another client that also uses the same service as we are then then it's actually a secure stream for the entire path.

  • As someone who directly manages faxing in the company i work for, yup! In Healthcare and we send out results to doctors and hospitals through faxing all day every day. We have mostly converted to electronic fax. We still control the servers on prem but the account is linked to a cloud solution so all the faxes are created with the servers and instead of using our own telephony solution like we used to, we send directly over internet to the provider who then sends out to the clients at the last leg. Hundreds of thousands of pages every month. From my understanding, it's still the easiest solution to get away with not having to implement some new system that will be subjected to audits. Faxes are accepted, and little is required to show for compliance.

  • Windows 11 finally overtakes Windows 10 [in marketshare]

    Jump

  • Yeah, and its most likely only due to them killing Windows 10 in the fall, which means a lot of companies have been working hard this year to replace a ton of computers before October. Anyone who has been down this road with 7 to 10 knows it will just cost more money if you need to continue support after that. They sell you a new license thats good for a year that will allow updates to continue. It doubles in cost every year after.

  • My wife has been on wegovy for about 3 months now, which is supposed to be similar. It's ok, I guess. Still ramping up to the full amount and there was one week of really bad digestion issues, but the rest has been fine. She feels full way quicker, and if you go over that amount, you start to feel nauseous, so you stop. Problem is she hasn't really done much else to help it. Still eating the same and hasn't introduced more exercising to help. So far, loss is around 15 lbs, but it's kind of sitting steady around this for a bit now.

  • Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data

    Jump

  • Funny enough, I had the complete opposite experience. I didn’t necessarily use Samsung then either, but I would get the phone that was normally rated the best or highly reviewed. I think i came from an LG to the first pixel phone. Pixel was the first phone to ever give me issues. Felt it vibrate one day in my pocket and I looked at it a few min later and it was in permanent boot loop. Tried a lot of things, but my one regret was forgetting to turn on developer options with the usb so essentially the phone was bricked. I couldn't access it or do anything, everytbing was lost and support was no help and told me they couldn't replace it. Last time I used them. I also wasn't a fan of how hard they tried copying an iPhone at the time. Since them I've mostly used a Samsung either the Note and now the higher end galaxies and love them. Only thing I dislike is their own line of apps for everything that I disable immediately.

  • Yeah, things are weird today. Back in the day getting the meal deal numbers 1 through whatever seemed to get you the best price. Now I cant remember the last time I just picked the number to order. With the apps and other deals they set up, they make us go through hoops to get somewhat decent pricing. App normally offers free fry and they run the pick 2 where 2nd is a dollar and you can choose a double cheeseburger, 6 piece nug, or small fry. So for around $4 you can get a 12 piece or a 6 piece and a double cheese. Not the worst deal for $4. Oh also being flexible about what you want helps, but also sucks.
