  • This happens in rooms that have 2 panels, and when it does skill cross a room 2x to get them back to up=on.

    We turn things UP to increase and DOWN to decrease. I'm not going to die on this hill but I will do everything I can behind the scenes to erode and undermine the hill of the enemy. Up to and including using my multi tool to flip your switches upside down. For the realm.

  • keys tend to be organized (that's a horrible word for whatt he registry is lol) in a handful of locations depending on context. so those chrome keys are next to the other chrome keys. in enterprise we mod that area pretty often.

    the 2 was to discover a new key are:

    1. reg watcher that takes a baseline, then you install soemething, and you see the diff.
    2. in the case of no new key has been added (like for this new setting), most softwares have support articles aimed at Enterprise Admins who need to control deployments granularly. So the regkeys tend to be available.

    Sometimes some dev figures it out, sometimes word spreads from the devs themselves on Discord/etc. Sometimes if you contact Support they have that workaround (after escalating to engineer). Not that you can easily get to Google Engineers, but you have a much better track with say a paid Workspace account.

    It's a FT job though to maintain a set of controlled software in an enterprise environment. Constant fiddling/tweaking. SOmetimes it's a RegKey, sometimes a GPO setting, sometimes you're modding a config file in AppData, or adding some lines to a Logon Script. And a lot of the info spreads by word of mouth still and to really answer your question - sometimes, no one knows where the hell it came from but after days of searching, you're happy some random forum post finally worked and you hope to never have to touch it again. Then you close your ticket and move on to the next one.

    I don't miss it lol

  • I'm 100% with you and this is my mantra, but at this very moment am having trouble finding a TV that can operate without ever connecting to a network and would appreciate any brand/model reccs in the 55/60" range. All I need is HDMI.

  • I don't think efficiency would be the thing, but I suspect that a generalized package could have trouble accessing certain distro specific/unique things. Some packages don't have 100℅ compatibility with every distro.

    That said Ubuntu's very ubiquitous/popular and tends to be top of the list when you're looking at the compatibility list of an application, so I think it's the least likely to have trouble.

    But... I'm answering generally here from a systems perspective, not a developer's. There might be quirks about how a native vs added package can/does interact with an OS... And I'm joking someone else can chime in

  • Imagine that OS is your apartment that you rent in an apt building. Your landlord/super announces he's going to install a home robot in every apt.

    The difference is whether someone else should put something like that in your apartment, or whether you should get something like that if and when you want it. It's not a toaster, it may have the ability to throw your cat into the trash chute.

    A package is simple enough to remove. But almost everything that shoves AI down your throat makes it every difficult to remove it. Certain rollouts have been heavy handed and people kinda just want choice not force.

    Know that scene from Finding Nemo with the seagulls? AI. AI AI AI AI. Every app, every device, every site and service. Then your OS (the last and possibly dying vestige of "I control this, this is mine"), esp one built on ejatbised to be touted as Choice.

    Anyway, all depends on how it's implemented.

  • you can just set up containers on your bare metal server. in fact if you're going to install insecure services you definitely want to containerize them, though tbh you need to run really far away from whatever it is you're doing that requires sql5, or at least don't let it be reachable on the internet, that should be network-isolated, which really limits its utility.

  • Just price out S3 compatible storage and use backup software that can encrypt. Then it doesn't matter who holds it.

    Wasabi is reputable and has fair pricing. iDrive is well priced.

    I'm still sending to B2 until the price actually changes for me.

    I personally use Duplicati (and yes I've tested restores).

  • Potatoes entered the chat

    EDIT: 30s later I realized this may have made more sense in my head. Root veggies have better timing so I sub potatoes for rice. I make rice in it when I do stir fry tho.

  • Android does this too (ETA: by default). There's a history. You can set Signal to not display message content in notifications.

  • Damn. And Infomaniak uses them.

    Thanks for the info.

  • This is the real answer.

  • You just described the basic functions of a database. People are building a databases in spreadsheets. That's not a reason to keep using Excel, that's a reason to have an intervention lol

    Edit: this is halfway tongue in cheek. Trying to get office workers to use more and different tools partway through their careers is unfortunately unviable in many industries.

  • Ascensio Systems SIA developed it and it's Latvian... Couldn't find what you're referring to, would appreciate a link to the info you're talking about.

  • not OP but personally I watch maybe 2h of YT /month. Because I only watch one dude who posts about monthly, then the rest is just random links I'm clicking from a post or something. I donate to the guy periodically. The other links half of them are news clips or something that I could prob just get from their site.

    The one-size model just doesn't fit my use case. I'd pay for a per-time-watched plan if it was reasonably priced but it doesn't even exist.

    Honestly I could do without it entirely. Personally.

  • Every non-empty flask contains both soup and liquor until you take a sip.

  • For best results, print your word doc and scan it back in on a flatbet scanner. Fun fact you don't even need to keep the piece of paper square to the scanner.

    Or just take a picture of your monitor and text it.

  • Not the expert you're asking but I have a tangential thing that has served no practical purpose until now lol...

    9pins only used 8 of them. It was possible to use a 9th but nothing standard/typical ever did.

    There. Been carrying that one around for ages.

    Application: full of itself; just look at it; leaking out of its constraints.Presentation: not happy; has to talk to the app.Session: chillin; don't start nothin, won't be nothin.Transport: ready for whatever comes its way.Network: acting up as usual.Data Link: Hidden but watching, well-behaved, compliant.Physical: draping out of the rack

  • linver would be better. And I'm prob gonna try calling it the linkey and see if I can make it a thing.
