  • European banks require strong security. Even a web-based login requires 2FA using the bank's mobile app - so if that app won't run, well, no banking for you today!

  • Suggest a better choice, please. Lenovo?

  • Man, I feel you. I hate Mattermost for its utter inability to run on anything else than port 8065 specifically.

    • Outlook (tasks, inbox, and calendar) on the left screen (sometimes vertical)
    • Main work window on the right screen.
    • Underneath is my laptop screen with Teams and Notepad++.

    Remove 1 screen = reduce my productivity by maybe 20%.

    Remove one more screen = reduce by at least another 40%.

  • Drop the cameras, add lidar instead. That's true 3d vision, which no amount of cameras can replace.

  • Arguably, the time from when a girl is born until she becomes a mother herself is rising significantly.

    That time might have been 20 years a century ago but is closer to 25-30 years in western countries now.

  • And I'm a little disappointed that we finally made peace with the Canadians. It was running up to be one of the longest wars ever, with each country alternating to jovially plant a flag a bottle of spirits. Politest war in the history of mankind!

  • It's clearly working very well for itself, but it's doing it for the benefit of the stock holders, not for the community, not for the employees, and certainly not for the environment - those are all just annoying cost factors that must be minimized to maximise profits.

    I am saying this is not sustainable, and we have now reached that point. People have several jobs and still can't pay their bills - that's new, and a sign that we've reached the limit.

  • Capitalism has eroded society to the edge of what is tolerable. The push for infinite growth has pushed the world to the extreme, with 0.001% of human holding 99.999% of the riches.

    We are now at a point where growth cannot continue because the customers are too poor and the thumbscrews are all the way in. And yet, corpos want more. It will break - very soon. Then what happens?

  • Thank you for the support link. It tells me I don't have a supported phone 😭

  • And every crappy app and website has 300 "legitimate interest" cookies 🤑🤮

  • How does one start gemini? I think I have the same beta version installed but don't see any mention of it.

  • Similar here: a boot from power off will ALWAYS mean there's no network, but a warm boot will always work.

    As a workaround, I always hit the reset button two seconds after turning the computer on.

    I can tell there's been a power outage if the computer is on and has no network.

  • It says right there in your screenshot that it's the CABLE that can become damaged.

    Like 90% of all the apple cables I've ever seen. But I guess that's different.

  • "Excellence is not an act, but a habit" - Aristotle teaching that good comes from the whole, not from a single step. Focus on the whole, and the steps will follow.

    "So, what's the next action for this?" - the GTD approach to task management teaching me to be specific and then go do it (or plan it, or delegate it). This really kicks me into productivity mode.

  • Yes, but given the fact that there can we weeks between incidents, that is going go be a long time to be without my services.
