The unprotected device on his hotspot!? Sure if you want to throw caution to the wind.

Yes, if you stay at a dysfunctional company for five years, and everyone more competent left: Steve in sales will address you as the senior engineer at the start of the call.

It won’t feel good, that guy is an idiot.

This is like a landlord painting everything white. It’ll hide / seem to fix some issues, but probably isn’t the fix you’re looking for.

I don’t know if I’ve had to say Gnome out loud before to another human person. I would go with the garden variety gnome myself.

I just install openssh server, because I need it anyways, and use an SFTP client to transfer files. Seems to be fast, secure, and easy. No new ports to open up.

I’ve transferred many terabytes of data this way, no complaints. Rsync is nice for syncing huge folders, and walking away, so I’ll also use that when the need arises.

I used windows 10 on my gaming PC for many years. I “upgraded” to 11, and it felt bad. The UI/ux was tolerable, but between the AI features and everything requiring a Microsoft account, it got on my nerves quickly.

I literally just wanted to upgrade the firmware on my Xbox one controller (so it’d work in Linux…) and that forced a login. At that point I logged in, upgraded my controller, formatted as ext4, and now I rarely look back.

Every once in a while a game will crash or not be playable on Linux, but I’d trade that for being in control of the hardware I’ve spent thousands on over the years.

Very happy with bazzite on my htpc and a kde based distro on my main computer. I pop over to my MacBook for casual computing, but for the real stuff I’ll never use windows again (barring being forced by future employers)

Just when you can’t take any more; donuts in the break room!

Just set up auto renew and be sad when you are charged, then forget about it in a few days.

Same, I think deals on the lifetime pass still show up periodically, but I got it when it was about $40 too. It’s good software I use daily, so I’m happy with it.

Looks like on the last deal it was $120

Currently it is $250, which is too rich for my blood. Then again I just paid $70 for Doom the dark ages

PCI Express nowadays. Previously AGP and PCI.

The initial thing that gave me the ick was when Amazon was integrated into their search for money.

Unity is also pretty bad. Laggy, weird, and it just isn’t cool looking

I run kubuntu and Ubuntu server on a couple of my machines, so I am not a total hater, but lately I’ve been moving to other distros.

My last interview was for a job I was on the fence about. I decided to go though the process anyways. I did a coding assignment that I aced. Then I had an interview with their recruiter.

Then I met with two developers. They grilled me for an hour. It was a fine conversation, we got along.

Then I had an interview with the boss of the dept. That went well.

Then they wanted me to prepare and give a technical presentation to some directors. At this point I told them no thanks.

I imagine this is more for productivity apps, where gamers are going to use proton or wine.

It’s a cute idea, but seems like it is just going to generate a bunch of e-waste.

It isn’t as whimsical I guess, but a barcode scanner, NFC tags, or just picking a game from a menu would be my preference. I have actual retro systems, if I want to walk across the room to switch games.

He needs at least a decade of industry experience. That helps me find jobs.

Hey Linus did you merge my branch into mommy? I really want to get it out.

Product manager: “I want a new role for users that can only do x,y,z”

Developer: “uh… yeah. About that… Give me a few days.”

If a new project doesn’t come out called rockets impose I’ll be disappointed .

It’s the default for a reason.

Can you share your smb.conf?
