- Comment on Overweight people more likely to take sick leave, European study finds 1 month ago:
People with underlying health issues more likely to run into health problems. Amazing journalism.
- Comment on Asus won’t say if the ROG Ally’s SD card reader will ever be truly fixed 1 month ago:
Sounds like they would need to redesign the system in some way to solve the issue, e.g. move the SD card slot away from heat generating components. Depending on the volume of sales and complexity of the work, they could have decided it would be more viable from a monetary standpoint to not do anything.
- Comment on What is Windows 11 'AI Explorer'? Everything you need to know about Microsoft's upcoming defining AI PC feature (including it always watching you) 1 month ago:
Microsoft will release a GPO or MEM setting that works 20 percent of the time to turn off the constant AI data mining, only available to enterprise SKUs.
- Comment on “You don’t grab power, you accumulate it quietly, without anyone noticing.” – Grand Nagus Zek 3 months ago:
That is suprisingly good quality. I have never really seen a still shot from laserdisc before, can see why it had a following back in the day.
- Comment on How bad are search results? Let's compare Google, Bing, Marginalia, Kagi, Mwmbl, and ChatGPT 4 months ago:
It’s a whatever question you ask engine. You can ask for the information directly and/or ask for sources to back it up.
- Comment on vpn on nextcloud? 5 months ago:
In very basic terms, and why you want to do them:
Attack surface is the ports and services you are exposing to the internet. Keep this as small as possible to reduce the ways your setup can be attacked.
Network topology is the layout of your home network. Do you have multiple vlans/subnets, firewalls that restrict traffic between internal networks, a DMZ is probably a simple enough approach that is available on some home grade routers. This is so if your server gets breached it minimises the amount of damage that can be done to other devices in the network.

War, huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Massive quarterly profits, uhh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Massive quarterly profits
Say it again, y’all
War, huh (good God)
What is it good for?
Massive quarterly profits, listen to me, oh
- Comment on China commerce minister frustrated by US 'interfering' in international lithography exports via third countries 5 months ago:
If they are complaining that means it’s working
- Comment on UK government sets out plans for ‘biggest nuclear power expansion in 70 years’ 5 months ago:
I misread the title as “biggest nuclear power explosion in 70 years” and thought they had a very dark sense of humour for a moment.
- Comment on VMware customers face uncertain future as Broadcom ends VMware partner programs 5 months ago:
No idea which customers they are specifically, my comment was based on this article, which is basically acting as a summary of some of the Broadcom investors day presentations: theregister.com/…/broadcom_strategy_vmware_custom…
It’s not so much that they don’t want the rest of the customers to stay with VMware, its more so a disregard for them moving forward.
- Comment on VMware customers face uncertain future as Broadcom ends VMware partner programs 5 months ago:
It’s simple. Either you are one of the few enterprise customers they want to keep (of which there are only a handful), or you need to have started a transition away from VMware the moment the purchase was announced.
Which completely sucks for the industry.
- Comment on Dukat is upset they still haven't built a statue of him in the parking lot for pushing a cart into traffic 5 months ago:
Sisko - chance to also perform a warcrime while returning the trolley.
- Comment on The safest way to travel 6 months ago:
No stairs, only ladders, Jeffreys tubes and turbo shafts (you better turbo climb through or you get turned into turbo jam).
If you’re in the far future though, you get the whole TARDIS interior of the turbo shaft network
- Comment on Safe to say peanuts into a US school too? 6 months ago:
That’s awesome if it works. But I had to provide IT support at a school once that had to specifically tell even contractors to please not being anything with peanuts onto the school grounds. They had a kid with a severe peanut allergy and a habit of licking everything (behavioural “quirk” to put in nicely, I had literally been licked on the elbow).
Admittedly that was only once in almost 20 years of doing IT support in schools. But I am more than happy to sacrifice some personal liberty in that kind of situation.
- Comment on Safe to say peanuts into a US school too? 6 months ago:
Some schools will be over zealous and ban them.
Other schools can have kids with such severe allergic reactions that it’s the simplest option to ban them. This is mainly primary schools. I’m not saying if that’s right or wrong, there’s too many variables.
Kids can’t be expected to perfectly manage their health problems, that’s why at most schools yes the kids may have an EpiPen, but the school is also generally required to have one for each kid with a registered allergy.
- Comment on Google abandons “Web Environment Integrity” 7 months ago:
Sadly with all this evil crap now days, they’ll bring it back in a few weeks or months, rename it to the "won’t somebody think of the children API"with a massive ad campaign saying anyone or any website not using the API are r*ping kids…
- Comment on In my language "Janeway" means "death". 7 months ago:
Janeway means death.
Sisko mens warcrimes.
Picard means… Shut up Wesley?
- Comment on Too many products are easier to throw away than fix—consumers deserve a 'right to repair' 8 months ago:
Part of it as already mentioned is a safety thing. Crumple zones and the like are there to purposefully deform so that the people inside the vehicle have a higher chance of surviving a crash.
Part of it is that being hit in the wrong way can also weaken the structural integrity of the frame making it unsafe to use. Makes more sense to strip it for parts at that point. Last thing a repair or insurance company wants is to be found liable for saying “yes the car is repairable/safe to drive”, then the front falls of on a highway.
Part of it also is that insurance companies won’t want to pay for repairs that amount to more than the cost of replacing the entire car if it’s older. Or they know they can make more money by paying out a policy then repairing and refurbishing the vehicle.

If you immediately know the check engine light is on, the oil was changed too long ago.
- Comment on YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it 8 months ago:
At this point, think of the old “boiling the frog” fable.
For now it’s warnings with an easy skip button. Next they remove the skip button and probably add in more mid-video checks, but if you find a way to work around that the video still plays. Finally if they think you are using ad-blocking, no video at all. Then it’s a cat-and-mouse game between the anti-adblock tech and the anti-anti-adblock tech.
- Comment on yeah, seems like the same thing 8 months ago:
4 legs, big wagging tail, big smile? Close enough.
- Comment on Petite is the new perfect 8 months ago:
FFS. First I am too small, now I’m too big.
- Comment on What the cowards at Paramount refuse to release 8 months ago:
His daydream subroutine really went off the rails in this one.
- Comment on don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, 8 months ago:
- Comment on [Lemmy active users] 28th of September was the only day with more monthly active Lemmy users than the previous one, probably thanks to the release of Boost for Lemmy 8 months ago:
Is it possible that people browsing anonymously and/or logging in with the same account on multiple apps influenced the numbers?
I admit that I’ve been bouncing between Sync and Boost since the release. I like both for slightly different reasons.
- Comment on The Fediverse should do what redditors have always wanted and Reddit Inc. has always refused to do; Distinguish between NSFW and NSFL. 8 months ago:
NSFW and NSFL can mean different things to different people and cultures.
Best example is that in some countries, showing a boob isn’t straight away NSFW as much as it is in America.
Opposite example: In America, showing blood is almost G rated at this point (at least it feels that way to a non-American watching American media). In China you effectively can’t show blood in any media.
As has been mentioned in the comments already one solution would be more specific categories, probably customizable by site admins to suit their particular site culture. Either that or a site can stick to just a single NSFW tag to donate a more “hey, this might not be the best thing to look at on the job”.

What about Gilligan’s island?
- Comment on Isn't OneDrive/Sharepiont the exact OPPOSITE of a shared drive? 9 months ago:
The sharepoint itself - browser only
The document libraries - there is a “sync” button you can press to get them into the OneDrive client on your PC, and therefore into file explorer. (It’s also possible for admins to automate this)
- Comment on Isn't OneDrive/Sharepiont the exact OPPOSITE of a shared drive? 9 months ago:
Your boss did this a stupid way. They should have created a SharePoint site, maybe a few extra document libraries within that site, and have the files in there. Then added people as members to the site, maybe lock down a few of the document libraries/folders as required to specific people.
Then for ease of use people can open the libraries and click the sync button. Although if you have too many it’ll slow down/break.
OneDrive/SharePoint is not a drop in replacement for a file server, and those honestly still find their use, but a lot of places with a bit of re-structuring can work just as well if not better through SharePoint . Especially if they put in the effort to start using other SharePoint features.
