Wow, they're actively removing data off the app on your phone? Good reason to never use MS authenticator for anything important. This is also assuming that they're never wrong about this, and that it is foolproof with no false pos

I mostly agree with you, but if a human straight up copies work under copyright they’re violating the law. Seems like a LLM should be held to the same standard unless they should be even less beholden to the law than people. It’s also incre

I don't have much of an opinion on React as a library, although they do use it for our web frontend at my work. However something I noticed in the past when I was doing some web dev work out of AUS was that some websites would have inc

Sure, but it's also paved with bad intentions, and neutral intentions. I would say that intentions have very little effect on the overall outcome of actions in general. Also good and bad are relative. I would say that the road to outco

You can set them off in accessibility settings https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/reduce-onscreen-motio... . I agree it's not something they make easy though. A lot of cool features/customization like

proxmox is using KVM for virtualization and Linux Containers (LXC) for the containers. I agree that something like terraform and/or ansible would make more sense for an IAC (infrastructure as code) deployment. Most of the people I talk

I've seen this more and more in recent memory. I feel like the standard used to be define an acronym the first time you use it, then you can use it without explanation. Such as the TLA (three letter acronym) used here.

That's an interesting thought. I've done quite a bit of work in the medical/healthcare space in tech in the past. I think part of your issue is that doctors are notoriously hard to get a hold of. Also they don't make any

For what it's worth it does require a meta account, but not a Facebook one. I refused to buy one while it required a Facebook account since I deleted a couple of years ago. Once they made the change I figured that was an OK compromise.

I agree that people value different things but I wouldn’t say information about brand reliability is widely available. I have a consumer reports membership for checking that kind of thing simply because all of the info out there is mostly b

I don’t think that’s correct. Walmart is first, but second is costco and third is Kroger. https://www.axios.com/2023/04/20/most-popular-grocery-stores...

I loved looking for jobs on SO. I found some of the coolest companies and was seriously bummed when it went under. It’s how I heard about my current job I’ve happily been at for a couple of years.

If you use the windows boot record as the parent boot instead of grub you can mostly get around this issue. It’s what I did on my gaming rig. I mostly use that as a development machine these days, but occasionally boot into windows for game

I’ve been considering switching and haven’t used fedora in years. I’ll have to give it another chance. Snap has seriously annoyed me.

My snap version of Firefox on Ubuntu kept bugging out my plasma taskbar too. Consistently reproducible, and annoying until I figured it out. I uninstalled the snap and manually added it through apt.

I have a couple. I’ll check. My old HomePod is my hub, but it looks like I could use my HomePod minis or my Apple TV to do it as well. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207057

Thanks for that. I'm in the PNW and I've been looking around for a good tailor. I was ordering some of my stuff pseudo-custom from sonofatilor but it's a bit hamstrung by how bad I am at taking my own measurements. Other tha

I moved to fast mail a couple of years ago and got my mom to move to and I’ve been a happy customer the whole time it’s great. I moved when I started getting concerned about how reliant I was on google. Now my core services are spread acros

I agree. I used RT years ago when I was in IT and quite liked it. I’ve used plenty of the competitors over the years and they seems to be mostly worse versions of it. However RT is really just a request tracker and doesn’t do some of the fa

For what it’s worth your comment changed my mind and made me re-evaluate it. I also bought a couple of things. I’ve been hosting my families websites for years and shudder to think of how much money LE has saved me between those sites and e

I was trying to remember the name of ripcord while reading this. Thanks. I used it for a while for both slack and discord and it wasn’t bad. However they did sell licenses. I just don’t think they required them. I just double checked and I

Wow, I’ve never seen anyone mention RT here. I used it for years when I was working IT for my university while in undergrad. It worked pretty well. It didn’t have a lot of features but it allowed clients/customers to respond to tickets

I bought a pair of these to replace my old Bose Quiet Comfort II headphones and love them. They are also USB C which is nice. I highly recommend them. They're a bit pricey, but I hear the Sony ones mentioned in this thread are pretty g

I got a Herman Miller Mirra from an office liquidator at the beginning of lock-down and love it. Although I spend most of my day working at a standing desk. I love the chair so much that I would probably pay full price for it, or look aroun
