Roasting your ultrawide 3440x1440 "I need binoculars to see my tabs" setup in Longueuil, QC—a city so forgettable even your *2-core potato PC* probably buffers its Google Maps—whil…

This sounds like BitLocker wasn't enabled on the drive. All of the laptops I've deployed with BitLocker are very good at detecting tampering and will immediately go into lockdown m…

I have Bitwarden Enterprise deployed and authenticate via our IDP. It's been working well for us, each team has their own collection that they manage. From an IT admin perspective,…

There's a mixed bag of articles surrounding this. If you've bought the game on Steam or other platform of choice, you will retain access to that game. Online game play and DLC that…

And in typical Reddit fashion, the post was removed for bending the sub-reddit rules. It's frustrating that a popular and highly upvoted post like this is just _removed_. Anyone ha…

Also in gamedev. Git doesn't work for larger AAA projects, as it often chokes on the amount of data that stored by production teams, even when LFS is used. Perforce can handle huge…

I've had the suggestion "sex balls" show up as the place holder of the search box once. I posted a screenshot of it back in 2019: https://twitter.com/DavieDavieDave/status/11781394…

We're effectively looking at somebody's notebook from 3200 years ago. Makes me wonder what our descendants would think if they were looking at our old notebooks and random text fil…

I decided to take a break from social media this week so logged out of Twitter & Instagram prior to this announcement and removed the apps from my phone. Depending on how it goes o…

Couple of issues with this, the first being a "rudimentarily activated using a Generic Key" ISO that's not from Microsoft. Can you really trust this source and technically at this …

This is disappointing: "Note that this project is supported on all major operating systems except FreeBSD, which is still incompatible." Considering both Plex and Emby support Free…

I've had jobs where there's been on-call and you can have the pager all week and nothing happens. I was very fortunate to be in a team that had a well matured and very stable servi…

I recently set-up HA on a Raspberry Pi, integrating my lights, security system and other devices. You're right about it having a steep learning curve but once it's up and running i…

Once again this shows that we're at the mercy of the giant AI machine. For fear of having my data locked into Google, I migrated to my own domain and e-mail hosting elsewhere. I'm …

I selected other. I was working in the Air Transport Industry as the pandemic kicked off. Three months in we started having weekly meetings to "update" us on the situation, saying …

I also drew the short straw for on-call this weekend. I've probably already clocked up 10hrs following a network failure at one of our datacenters. I'm not an essential worker, but…

That's a tough thing to do when said sites are server IPMIs that never get up to date firmware.

Microsoft now provide binaries for Debian and RHEL based Distros. Used Edge on Ubuntu for more than 6+ months for work, probably one of the best experiences I had with a browser no…

Firefox recently started refusing to render pages for me on some sites, no amount of resetting the profile fixes it. I'm curious why Edge isn't an option for you? I've started usin…

There was a DC-3 rescued from St-Hubert Airport near Montreal, it was just a shell when they started and it flew for D-Day memorial. Registration C-FDTD. You can read more about it…

Welp, I guess it's not for me. I'm unable to upgrade my Microsoft Service Pro (2017) as the CPU is not supported. Which is odd, the CPU is more than capable and all the other requi…

My worry was this required both FastMail and 1Password, to my delight you only need FastMail. Masked Email is an option under settings.

The age verification appears to be opt-in, however they don't say what happens if you don't hand over your kids ID. One would hope that it would disable or limit communication betw…

I have Nexus, since getting it no more need to take my shoes off or take my laptop/tablet out of my carry-on. You practically get waved through security. Also, at the border in Can…
