To be fair, this camera was put in the water in the 1970s...

Ubuntu Server baby. That shit is absolutely rock solid, I've literally never had an update break stuff in the decade+ I've been managing it.

I actually love the cross platform PowerShell stuff for two reasons. One it's really nice to be able to have something that works on my windows environment and the Linux one, and 2 because PowerShell is enormously better than bash.

but at least people who can't even navigate their basic file explorer that they are expected to use scary terminal commands.

This! I work in IT, in fact, I'm the director of both the IT and software teams at my company and I am constantly teaching my new techs and reminding my existing techs that they need to remember just how little the "average" person knows about computers, and how much more that is than what they'd actually care to learn.

99% of people don't care about computers, or how to make things "more efficient", or anything else. They just care about the easiest way to do something. And like it or not, the easiest way for the vast majority of people is through a GUI.

There is even an XKCD about this

And that's even before you get to the security problems! I am constantly trying to prevent users from going to FreeNuclearCodes.com or sending passwords and social security numbers to i7716tvq_88@gmail.com (actual email address I had to block last week)

Sonos is about the only smart home thing I like. It makes setting up a whole home sound system with discrete zones significantly easier than trying to wire it all up.

It seems to be hit or miss. I hear people online have no issues with HOTAS/HOSAS/other sim gear on Linux. But I could never really get mine to work 100% correctly.

Plus it was a lot more fiddly every time I wanted to play my games than windows. Idk I just keep windows for my sims and do everything else on Linux

For me (sysadmin actually) it's because what I'm doing is either simple enough that I can use Nano (editing simple config files) or complicated enough that I'll want a full fledged IDE. I use VSCode and it handles remote files really really well.

Although I have learned a little bit of Vi/Vim because sometimes thats all you have.

Plus if you're doing major changes (like more than editing a line or two) you shouldn't be doing that on a production server anyways. Like if I found out an engineer or dev was primarily working directly off of the server they would probably be on their way out the door. Uptime is worth way too much for that nonsense.

Nanos search and replace is Alt+R as far as I remember

I'm not a scientist, I'm just in IT haha

I figured there was a way to measure that small of weight but I didn't know!

So 1 inch of your wire would weigh ~0.0987 grams, so to measure down to 8.6350242338508 inches of wire your scale would need to weigh down to ~0.00000000000007 grams. Which is the weight of about a dozen atoms or so.

Like 30% of the shuttles launch thrust came from the main engines.

Good. They need to be humbled haha

Tbf, the file explorer is actually one really good argument for GUIs over terminals. Same with editing text. Its either simple enough to use Nano or I need a proper text editor. I don't mess around with vim or anything like that that.

Its all tools. Some things are easier in a file manager, some things are easier in a GUI.

I've had issues with Boost. It just doesn't seem to be loading my account subscriptions or anything.

Which is a shame cause Boost was my favorite reddit app

Or creating super mutant athletes. Like how fast do you think a modified human body could run? Or jump?

Tbh I don't think anything would really get done. Politicians would just recycle the same super popular ideas to prevent themselves from getting lynched.

It'd be like how video games companies are just churning out safe titles they know will sell really well, but with our government instead of video games.

Where? I haven't heard of any rail lines that don't have a human operator onboard or somewhere in the loop?

Reddit wasn't launched till 2005 ;)

That's because they're called "teams groups" not "teams for teams" ;)

Honestly thats just a user problem, not a Teams one.

Just limit it to files and forms and stuff like that, and explain to users that the teams folders, SharePoint, and the files on their computer are all the same.
