The company I work for (high profile private sector U.S. defense contractor) has security people (FSOs and such) that are constantly concerned about being held legally responsible for actions (or inactions) related to theirs and other'

They've had this problem for at least a few years, dating all the way back to the OG Pixel 1. I filed an FCC complaint about it four years ago. Not much has changed. https://www.reddit.com/r/ProjectFi/comments

The biggest example I can think of that (unofficially) supported Lua Final Fantasy XI. Because FFXI was released as a PS2 game, it had a ton of limitations, most notably around gear swaps. In the game, you had 16 gear slots on your charact

Yeah I hated Ticketmaster for many years, but this is the primary reason I didn't care too much, because I could just print the ticket and not deal with any of their tech gimmicks. Printing concert tickets was basically the only thing

Have you tried reading the docs? A full list of approved verbs is available, and describes in detail when you should use them and what synonyms they should replace. It makes sense for anyone willing to spend a moment investigating why it&#x

Check out Hermeus, working on building a reusable hypersonic aircraft. The engine they're using is a proprietary TBCC engine based on the GE J85.

You no longer have to be a member of the Windows Insider Program. There's a simplified installation method if you are, but if you're not, you can install WSL2 manually.

Yup, this exact timeline of degraded experience on Facebook led me to disable my account. I haven't reactivated it in over a year, and I'm happier for it.

Being an informal process that they are not bound to listen to, "online outrage" isn't exactly the best solution. A vote is much more powerful than a voice.

Bank of America only added 2FA as an opt-in option starting in 2017. It is most definitely not required... Law or not. I'm pretty certain it's the same way with every other major US bank.

As a solo game dev, I've tried a number of various project management tools that I use in my DevOps day job... from Trello to Planner to Jira to Azure DevOps. I like Azure DevOps work items the best, but the reality is that for a solo

> For a majority of people, their greatest and most satisfying achievement will be their children. This sentiment is grossly nauseating, to me. Having children is not an achievement. It may be satisfying and fulfilling, but it is in no

It's absolutely ridiculous. The very fact that the tech community can't even come to a full consensus on who the device actually is for... it's very telling that it's really for no one.

I would pay buckets of money every month for a computing experience devoid of advertising.

For real. I am always amazed to hear about such fraud, because it means somewhere, a programmer with zero ethics decided he didn't care what he was doing as long as the paycheck cleared. Gross.

Choosing to lock things down when you're not certain of the side effects... that's the sort of thing that will, at worst, cause outages due to protocol access or authentication (which are both easily fixable). It's a smart m

That's just a more wordy way to say "ignorance is bliss". But I totally agree, and I do not think you're wrong..

At the very least, if you had your Google Calendar synced to your mobile device (with the Calendar app) you can still view your meetings offline. You just can't add new ones.

For what it's worth, Microsoft now has their own apps integrated with Windows 10 that make it a breeze to sync photos from your phone to your computer. Check out the "Your Phone Companion" app (on iOS and Android).

Yeah as the defacto Tableau Server administrator in my org, I am not happy with Tableau. Despite it's power and ability to let less-technical people generate insights from data, the administration experience as a whole is a total nigh
