  • Yeah performance and energy efficiency is one of the factors behind the decision Valve made with the screen. The display is on par with entry small factor laptops from late '00s (in resolution, otherwise obviously better).

  • I keep forgetting mods also mean physical modifications of hardware and I was really confused how Valve can support upping resolution on a screen.

    Idea of modding hardware in general feels risky af to me. But I'm glad it's possible, worthwile, and apparently quietly supported by Valve.

    They make a lot of good decisions with it.

  • Yea we're doing something similiar. Only update base images for bigger OS updates or if something breaks or can break.

    The general idea is to have config that works for both new PCs and the ones that are already in use. Saves on maintaining two configuration methods.

  • I wonder how you're supposed to get PXE boot to work securely over the internet. And how that helps when affected disk is still encrypted and needs unusual intervention to fix, including admin access to system files.

    I've been doing this for a while, and I like creative solutions, so I wonder about those issues a lot. Not much comes to my mind besides let's recall all the laptops and do it one by one.

  • Sure. At the same time one needs to manage resources.

    I was all in on laptop deployment automation. It cut down on a lot of human error issues and having inconsistent configuration popping up all the time.

    But it needs constant supervision, even if not constant updates. More systems and solutions lead to neglect if not supplied well. So some "would be good to have" systems just never make the cut, because as overachieving I am, I'm also don't want to think everything is taken care of when it clearly isn't.

  • This works great for stationary pcs and local servers, does nothing for public internet connected laptops in hands of users.

    The only fix here is staggered and tested updates, and apparently this update bypassed even deffered update settings that crowdstrike themselves put into their software.

    The only winning move here was to not use crowdstrike.

  • Idk about vitamins, it seems to be a bit contrived.

    My ADHD stimulants come in hard pills and capsules. Capsules are long absorbtion, they release the drug more slowly in the digestive system. The hard pills are a short burst, usually with lower doses.

    It makes a ton of difference to me, but I just eat vitamins as hard pills. Some are difficult to swallow, but I can deal. Some can't, and capsules are likely better.

  • Can confirm. I have 200 users and at least 1/4th of that work from home at any time. Anything that requires hands on approach you can't do over remote assistancce software is a logistical nightmare, mostly because people can't or wont swing by office.
