Yes but wouldn’t you like to sign up for an outlook account? No? Sorry that wasn’t a question, this full screen window has no X and you will comply.

… unless you do the thing that skips it, but man that’s an awful experience.

I’ve seen enough knew high sock posts to know these are not apropos of nothing.

Yup. Fussing around in Desktop mode (aka handheld Arch) got me into it. It was weirdly easy to get Phantasy Star Online Ephinea working with luteix, and that game was easily one of my favorite Deck experiences running on 3W of power lol.

When I needed to pick up on some basics, it actually did help but ultimately not as much as actual guides and tutorials written online. This image of a chimera certainly matches the kind of Frankenstein code I was getting.

That said, when I was having some very interesting ideas about making automated code in R, it did make for a good sounding board. You don’t need to Google when everything in R has documentation but you do when you’re combining libraries in unique ways to automate 98% of the stupid shit you do at your data researcher job (e.g. can you look up in our database how many students pick their nose during philosophy class on a Friday?)

I just some a lot of Lemmy are neurodivergent and do in fact require /s.

Which is actually halfway true, the other half being a more international crowd that aren’t on the same page as whatever perspective you’ve got. That said, I got the joke and second you on spending more time with my feet on my desk while the boss pays me for my 20 minutes of work.

I should use this as an excuse to finally get a NAS setup. Maybe.

Yeah, I’m afraid the tech bros cut costs by not saving backups and removing all the old ones. Hell, all our changes are made in prod, no staging allowed here.

We know that it’ll probably be a suicide, as Windows is slowly taking it’s own life as we speak.

This image makes me smile. I’ll just stick to indie stocks, tyvm.

To add, there’s movement in the government to subsidize AI with giant GPU farms (with their own power source, et.). Of course, I am pretty sure they’ll go with it anyway despite it being overkill.

It’s tied to a fair number of retirement accounts so your not alone, and things like this usually even out long term. That said, diversify your investments going forward in case a company folds or is sold off to Elon Musk, etc.

It’s especially nice when you use their special Microsoft store as sometimes they’re kind enough to install an app directly to your smallest drive, multiple times just in case you can’t find it. It even takes over security credentials so you nor anyone else can get rid of the files!

So nice to finally use all of my 516gb SSD, thanks Microsoft!

I do miss Windows 95 sometimes…

Brah, if you try and root many phones, shit like Knox fucking bricks your phone out of spite. They’ve been putting anti-consummer shit into devices for decades now, let’s not pretend that puts everyone in the same 99.9%.

My dad does this, and I made a few bucks thanks to WordPress. Really, more thanks to Elementor because you can make a pretty snazzy website for cheap and the layman has no it took 2 hours to put together with templates. Lol

My dad was able to get his computers in city hall working by just deleting a file, but it is indeed a process. 6 steps, although the specifics elude me. You do have to do it in person though, requires repair mode or whatever.

Funny thing though, they just got a new tech lead that very same day, his first day was this fiasco. Imagine that luck!

I know what to do next time I’m teaching on 4/1…

I still need to fix mine, thanks for the link. The weirdest break it did once was messing with my Wi-Fi driver, managed to break Linux’ driver somehow, making the Internet a no go. Still no idea how Windows managed that though, they shouldn’t be messing with my bios. :/

I mean, if you duel boot, it’s just a matter of time until Windows nukes your other OS. At least with me, my Linux was about to solve world peace, but Windows got wind of that and shut it the fuck down.

Meme is correct, they’re coming for you.

Haha, I forgot it also broke the clock. But as others explained, it’s fixable.
