8gb on a apple is not enough and its not surprising at all. Source: dealing with dozens of Mac devices with 8gb memory that clients had which all can't handle their workloads. I've switched whole companies from Mac back to pcs. An

Adhering to robots.txt is merely a courtesy. Much like a trolley drop off at your local shopping center car park. Some users will adhere to it and drop their trolleys in after their done. Others will not and will leave it wherever. Your mac

Also signals spam folder isn't open source on server side. They literally have code that reads your messages and checks if spam or not and you cant see what it does or how it's written. Couple this with signal being the preferred

Lol your no different as a coder to any other employee in any role on any jobsite. If a business owner can replace you with tech for less, they will. Unionizing won't save you from being made redundant. Can't unionize against bein

That's because most of the engineers or coders in this thread are in fear their job won't exist in a few years and they will have to go learn a completely different skill to make a wage. It's hard to admit you may not have a

Oh don't get me wrong. UniFi and central management can be great if your on actively managed IT infrastructure. That is to say, you pay someone a monthly fee to keep your stuff configured, monitored and working. But where I live, most

This in itself is a nightmare. I recently hacked for a client their Unifi controller db on a network. It had been setup 5 years ago and the company that did the setup didn't hand over any admin passwords. 5 companies and 4 years of pro

I was a spicy meatball before social media even existed. It's why it took me 7 years to complete the last 30% of my two degrees. I got bored and went and worked full time in heavy industry. Pretty sure I had adhd well before I even sta

Lol you talk the talk but don't walk the walk. You said it yourself, you might tell people they aren't green but you still mostly use their products. This is what most folks do. They say their all for the green movement, but they

A good way to temp check your traditional Woodfire pizza oven is when the black soot on the inside of the dome turns white. Which is at temps around 420c aka 800f. You should be able to cook a pizza in about 40 to 50 seconds tops :)

Eh it's not actually you that needs to change all that much but more industrial processes need to be change. E.g. I worked on a exploration drill rig that hunted gold core. We burnt well over 400,000 litres of diesel a year keeping tha

Either way the inbuilt update system had zero way of updating itself or the OS to something that worked and it resulted in a painful few hours of stepping the system up through various OS versions downloaded on other devices until it got to

Well given it was both the update app and the web browser, not just the web browser. It's definitely built in. Unless their app updater/software updater is just safari with an overlay.

GaN has been getting HUGE in the audio realm, less so in western companies but in Asia in the PA realm its been the go-to for a few years now. Admarks AD442(4x4200w @8ohm) and AD60(2x6000w @ 8ohm) are a great example. 1U, Compact and more p

Lol I've never seen any of that and I've been pushing 11 to clients since it got out of the dev previews. I find 11 way more stable than 10 ever was. Less bsods and all.

I'll probably start offering Linux to business clients. 90% of mine just need an os with a web browser these days. The 10% that don't I'll push to migrate to cloud offerings of whatever software is keeping them on windows and

Linux on desktop has been ready for years now, it absolutely shreds apple and microsofts offerings, ubuntu desktop is about as schmick as it gets regardless of your views of the parent company. Mac on the other hand is an absolute nightmare

This is gonna be a hard move for some of the IT companies I've seen who have based their entire business around WordPress websites. They literally don't have the skill to use anything else as WP is all they know. Rip.
