You jest but my friend is a professor in Toyama, Japan, and makes the occasional dark joke about moving the people out for a few days and having the US raze it again from time to time. Sometimes getting rid of ossified organizations is a go

The terminology varies by vendors but essentially there are authentication portals that users will log into and receive auth tickets. These are forwarded to network gateways, usually encrypted in a vpn tunnel, that allow traffic based on u

I've been moving away from this model towards user-asssociated VPNs or (inverse) captive portals. Used Powerbroker and cyberark for a long time and while they're good at stated purpose the integration with more flexible and modern

My work laptop has been on 10 LTSC for years. I don't "hate it" but I've never heard anyone talk about liking it so much as tolerating it to run the stuff they care about. Maybe it's super great on those surface tab

And largely still is. There was mass resistance to leaving windows 7 which was the last release they basically worked like people had learned to use it. Getting stuff like user mode drivers and bitlocker and all the is nice but almost nothi

Other than IG envy posts a lot of my younger friends seem to be switching to private or mostly private group chats. A lot of them use Discords even for non-gaming stuff probably due to the illusion of a smaller and more authentic community.

Gliders or ultralights are a great way to get your head around the way the aircraft moves and what you feel when it does. Being a stickler is one of those cultural things that never makes it into the entertainment world. So much more planni

I look at it more like Excel now. It gives you just enough to do simple things easily with tools that make more complicated things ... Horrifying. Seeing deeply nested excel IFs that parsed out individual letters of a string for recursive c

Are memory locations or labels resolved to them, probably at compile or startup time, really any different? The whole GOTO-harmful is a product of a bygone time much as anyone needing to keep track of a jump table by hand is now.

The NYT has always gathered the zeitgeist of highly affluent and artsy new Yorkers, who tend to be highly invested in maintaining their status quo. They may not be right wing by principle, but they get there a lot on some subjects by talkin

There are dated messages in the article showing this going back to at least July 2023. So yes, your second case is closer to what appears to have been the sequence of events.

Also they've been giving out these warnings for months. I'm sympathetic to the guy with the seemingly abusive legal actions from Fox but this storage problem did not just spring from nothing into the final crisis stage. We had to

A really slick slide deck on how your unicorn will make this person the envy of his peers. Also amazing amounts of luck, or family connections.

That's been similar to my experience in the last year. WhatsApp or even worse, Snapchat, seems to be the preferred "private" messaging platforms, which is depressing to say the least.

I have yet to find a replacement that both I like and other people use. Matrix and Session I have yet to find anyone using, telegram seems to be almost entirely bots in my area, and WhatsApp etc are owned by Meta.

Who is the active user base for signal these days? Everyone I knew who was using it dropped off after the SMS debacle, which was a shame. Edit: Wow some weird haters on HN today. I was honestly curious as an active signal user that was no l

Out of curiosity what are you moving to? Ended up moving to gsuite because it was relatively stable some years ago until the domains thing but hasn't boiled over into a problem I needed to deal with imminently.

Unless you go out of your way, it's not invited in, it was already inside. Most people who don't live in o365 don't know or care what OneDrive even is due to how much it sucks. This is more user hostile tactics to force accep

They were always there, but the impetus for frictionless experiences to drive revenue also removed all the barriers and effort to congregating and often exploiting those people. It was there on Usenet, it's been there since people were

They're intentionally killing it slowly through malicious neglect. It's already unable to deal with some things in user profiles and the image galleries which force you into the new awful.

Comically I was experimenting on this in 2013 or so and came to the conclusion it wasn't worth it except as a joke, something I'm sure lots of other people did too. But combined with the insane browser expectation of being able ru
