As a mathematician by trade, the math brain is a language brain. Mathematics is about abstract communication rather than mechanics. Oh wait neuroscientists, explains it all. A statisticians favourite target for being unable to interpret dat

390 million users. Say 10% on iOS. 39 million users. 18Gb on iOS last time Yeah app distribution costs something. Finger in the air 10's of petabytes...

Fortnite - sit in lobby for 80% of the time and buy shit? Tim just wants all of his cut. And wants Apple to pay his app distribution costs... There's no good guys anywhere in this.

So couple of issues there. Never upgrade windows. Fresh install only. Never had a good day upgrading it. Secondly, there isn't always a solution in Linux. I've got one now where something is utterly broken and it's 5 layers o

My Linux desktop experience... I started with Linux installing it from floppy disks in about 1996. In 1995, I was back on Windows 95 within a week because I needed to get something done. In 2000, I was back on Windows 2000 within a week bec

No Linux desktop delivers what the user wants, needs or expect. Only what the developers think they need and find interesting to fix. It's more fun reinventing wheels badly than fixing shit generally. Some people are lucky this aligns

It works fine on airgapped networks with Ohook https://massgrave.dev/ohook Office doesn't have to talk to the internet at all other than periodic license checks. I won't run it without Ohook, even though I have a

There are considerable formatting issues when you're working collaboratively on documents with other people who use MS office when you are using MS office too. We gave up for large documents, assigned an editor and just send them chunk

It goes really fast if you turn off the connected experiences like linked in, the AI crap, the splash screen, all the cloud shit and crack it with massgrave. Like office 97 speed. There's your problem.

I fail to see how that is different to the situation today? At least with less money they'll be able to fuck everything up slower.

Got one of them. I ignore him most of the time. This has generated more ROI than his initiatives would have. Evidenced by the teams who do them generating a loss every fucking time. His nickname, which he wasn't worked out, is the firs

They did this at my kids school. Then issued them all with iPads which half the software they need to use doesn’t work properly on iPad size devices. Total fuck up.

That's how big email works these days. Fucking sucks but it is. I stopped running my own stuff after Yahoo decided it didn't like me one afternoon with no recourse.

As much as I'd like a machine like that, my 5 year old random Lenovo 10500 desktop is probably more useful as a daily driver machine than an older workstation class machine at the sacrifice of no ECC RAM. I bought it when it was 3 year

Waiting for the proponent default responses: 1. Next model will solve these problems. 2. Humans would have done worse. 3. Something something prompt engineering something something.

Yeah similar. My company is US and have banned all travel to US. Said we can do stuff over Teams instead.

Never attribute to malice what cannot be adequately explained by stupidity. And he is one stupid fuck.

Indeed. No data is safe or secure in such environments. This has become an issue big enough that the US company I work for is actually removing data from US cloud providers to make it harder to get at. The European divisions have started da

I would leave that in the hands of professionals though. Which is evidentially not this lot. Not even remotely.

Aktion T4 next? This is a dark dark road. I suspect the US will become like Germany in the next few decades where the paranoia about handing any data over is justifiably high. I hope this burns the unethical side of the tech industry to the

As a notorious bastard I used to run C# code tests by giving someone a flattened windows 7 with the .net SDK installed and nothing else. Also no network connection. How the potential engineer dealt with it was interesting. We had a couple o

I think a lot of that attitude is self-justification to proceed as they intend without moral compass. Personally I can't do that. Everything we do has a consequence. I've got a copy of Careless People sitting in front of me I&#x27

I had a friend until recently. Really nice guy. Always looking out for people. Never said a bad word. In the last couple of years he turned into a nasty piece of work jumping on every politicised story out there and treating it as gospel. H

I suspect it won’t come. The US embedded itself in everyone else’s business and is now withdrawing so we all have our own problems to deal with.

As my wise but now throughly dead German grandmother said: ”Do you think the nazis appeared out of thin air? No they were everywhere just waiting for someone to enable them with a label and an ideology.” I suspect something analogous is h
