I would have given them a 10x return.

So am I the only one who's noticed that average non-tech users are absolutely horrible with managing passwords and passkeys would be a huge improvement over reusing "ddccbbaa!" across every login they have?

Canonical makes decisions based on their own self interest. Not for their users and not for the benefit of the greater community. That's what drove everyone away.

They're mentioned in the article. You can cancel by chat now though. I take advantage of that to renegotiate yearly.

The Mac OS X of around 15 years ago had an elegant simplicity to it that I really appreciated. Everything just seemed to work well. That seems to have been lost. New and often unwanted features just add to the complexity. A lot of first par

There's a reason why we're called "resources".

They've been horrible about communication since the Twitch ban a month ago. And they didn't even reveal anything about their plans to the press leading up to last night while they were promoting their return. Just my opinion, but

They have every right to cover their costs but I don't appreciate the bait and switch. It seems like a desperation move since I don't see how they can sustain and grow their user base at these price points.

It's a 150% price increase if you don't want metered search. I probably would have been ok with a reasonable price increase, maybe 25% to 50%. But it's a lot to ask of your users when most of us have to manage a number of sub

Hell, I'm even happier pretending to be on a waverunner in GTA V.

It seems counterintuitive to use SMS in the first place if your users expect end to end encryption.

The tech was solid but the implementation left a lot to be desired. I still shudder when I think about the RHEL 6 Itanium DB cluster I "inherited" and had to maintain. A very temperamental serial console that would constantly free

At least you have plenty of options to conserve battery. capping framerate at 30 or 40 fps, FSR, configurable TDP limits, underclocking the GPU.

As someone who’s dealt with emotional abuse, this really struck a chord. You can see and understand the objective facts. But it’s very hard to accept positive reinforcement emotionally. You don’t believe it’s genuine.

I played trumpet, baritone, and tuba from elementary through high school. Learning how to play well was a grind for years and I didn't really start to enjoy it until I reached high school and was a part of a good ensemble. It's de

May I ask how you accomplish this without any sort of burden? Because from my perspective, managing strong unique passwords for hundreds of accounts across desktop, mobile, servers, and other devices is a major pain and I’m tired of dealing

I believe Apollo 8 was originally supposed to be a low earth orbit shakedown with the LEM. Because the LEM wasn’t ready, they decided to send them to the moon.

id Software has a long history of dysfunctional management that goes back to its inception. It’s probably not fair to single out John Carmack but there was plenty of backstabbing. All four founders left the company on bad terms.

Use your Steam Deck how you want of course but the ability to customize controls through Steam Input is one of its best features.

Five years ago I was working for a large tech company and things were going downhill quickly in our division due to a failed acquisition. We were a very tight knit team that made a point to stick together, meet up regularly outside work, an

I never really thought about it much but I tend to only get counter service if I eat alone out of habit. Since I’m typically by myself for lunch when I’m working, I’m admittedly missing out on some good dining options.

Speaking from 25 years of experience with dirty work, I completely agree that it’s not a great career path if you’re looking for anything other than more dirty work. Even your own team often doesn’t appreciate how much you make them look be

Agreed. I went through about 70% of the runbook last year before running out of time and giving up. I used Gentoo in the early 2000’s and building an LFS system had been on my Linux bucket list since then. Maybe it’s just me but the instruc

The outdated process is pointless. There are way too many rinse and repeat compilation steps. Focus the manual effort on the concepts that need to be taught and automate the rest. I feel like they make the default runbook overly tedious to

That was the biggest problem. It wasn’t quite possible yet, at least with how IBM wanted to use it. Rometty and her executives believed their own marketing hype. It’s why, billions of dollars later, Watson Health failed because it couldn’t
