Continuum was ok, but Motorola’s Atrix 4G had a lap dock even earlier. It was an outdated version of Ubuntu, if I remember, but it worked. I still miss WP though.

Visited Nova Scotia for work several years ago. I'd go back in a heartbeat! Sign me up, and it'd get me out of Alabama.

Not necessarily for sound, on industrial fans and drives, we can program in skip frequencies to avoid any resonance issues in the system. I've never done it for noise reduction. But I do some tweaks for efficiency and power consumption reduction. There's some wild industrial design stuff out there, and in the end, it's because it provides something the customer wants. I won't go into specifics, but you can design the same components the same for multiple manufacturers and do some slightly different things in its construction to give the vibe the OEM wants, or to fix some inherent characteristics in the manufacturers platform. It's REALLY cool when you think about it. Sorry to be so vague, but I have to be.

Got any names for those eps or b sides?

I definitely want more storage, and will be using external disks with it.

This is a valid point, but I also want to keep it on macOS for the AirMessage apps. And it feels like the Intel Mac's are all on life support right now. But a used Mini is much cheaper on eBay than a new one!

I thought parallels could run Windows 11 ARM version? What about QEMU?

Thank you much, that's my biggest worry.

My mid 2012 has been upgraded to the max. It's got the 2.9GHz dual core i7, 16 GB RAM, 4 tb of storage thanks to a data doubler, and is running MacOS 14.4. I've been getting kernel panics lately, and sometimes struggle getting it to turn on, I'm afraid it's getting time to retire it. It's unfortunate, but this has been an outstanding laptop for me. I dual boot windows and macos on it. Perhaps I'll put fedora on it shortly and see if it behaves any better.

My 6 pro won't slow charge until after 10pm I've noticed. My alarm is at 04:30, so if I start charging at bedtime, 08:30ish, it doesn't slow charge. It's weird that way. Already on my second 6p, my first I've died one night, woke up with a flashing gray white screen, and it was hot. Got it rmad thankfully.

I had this same discussion at work. My employer is full office 365 and SharePoint for everything. Teams is a catch-all app that does a lot, but none of it well.

As others have said, Inductive Automation 's Ignition is a fine SCADA platform that runs on Linux. I used it for years until my employer decided we should get rid of Ignition and use OSISoft Pi for data visualization. It's a ridiculous idea, as they are different products with different use cases, but I lost that argument and have been told to drop it. Still salty, all those development hours and useful tools gone.

I have been recovering from my 4th COVID infection. I've told people, it's not Pokemon, I've NOT gotta catch em all. Seems bad luck, my immune system, or shitty people I work around will continue to give it to me. 🫤

Yes they are. As I am at home with COVID for the 4th time. I interviewed a guy in a small room a week ago Friday, and he coughed all through the interview. I was masked. He wasn't. Two of us caught it. And I found out today they hired the clown. There are strong desires to cuss him out on his first day. Fuck that guy.

macOS: Lack of official support for models that are still relevant. I've got the last MacBook Pro that was fully upgradable, a mid 2012 model with a dual core 4th gen i7. You can upgrade everything in it, and I have. 16gb of RAM, two disks, one an SSD, and the other a large HDD. But the latest official version of MacOS is Catalina. But I'm running Ventura on it now with no issues. And in similar respect, no upgradability at all of the new Macs after purchase. It's very anti consumer.

My wife had a miscarriage a few years back. Yeah. All we got for our trouble was a massive bill. 0/10. Fuck this shit and this place.

It's not YouTube that's the problem. I've got the same Gmail account since 2004, and don't want to loose my Google photos. I'm getting the stuff together to self host them all, but am not there yet.

So I've been wondering this for a while. Is there a way for Google to associate my usage of Newpipe or similar to my actual Google account? I hate all the ads, but don't want to lose all of my Google account stuff. I've got a lot invested in it.

There is also a PC based offline barcode generator called Zint. I've used it a lot over the years. It can generate regular barcodes, QR codes, or other ones. It's very handy. You can generate using batch files with it also, if you have a lot to do.

And yet I've got a boss for a French company that tells us we have to work 45...

I'm jealous of my French colleagues, shorter work weeks, more vacation time, etc.
