My bad dude!
Have you tried using 1 2 3 4 5?
- Comment on My landlord partnered with a financing company - I can pay $15/month for the luxury of making weekly payments on my rent 1 week ago:
Your landlord is a fool! They should have raised the rent by that same amount and then offered you a $10 a month discount to pay it all at once.
Rookie doesn’t know how to play a numbers/scam game. /s
In truth, sorry you are only being given such a scummy “option”. The simple math shows that the more often you pay (i e. the earlier the recipient gets your money) the more they make in the long run. They should just do that and be decent about the whole thing.
- Comment on Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike 1 week ago:
Yeah, but just one “unusual spike in traffic” - so it seems. /s

It’s like rain . . .

I see what you did there.
- Comment on If we ever find a planet with life in it, we could never set foot on it, because the interaction of the two biologies can have unpredictable consequences 2 weeks ago:
NASA has been doing the sterilization I listed above for decades now; it’s not new.
Can you give some examples (preferably with references) of where NASA (or ESA, etc) have avoided areas due to fear of contamination?

That’s why this is done: https://www.nasa.gov/ames/space-biosciences/planetary-protection/
I realize you were probably talking about visiting other worlds in person, but we would probably still have unmanned missions there first.
- Comment on God ****** dammit, here we go again 2 weeks ago:
Didn’t mean to offend you (or anyone else).
I work in IT too (Windows) and have admin rights on my workstation. Even though I have the power to install any software, it’s against policy to do so (and technically that’s a good policy).
Also, I don’t like the idea of anyone/anything but me having my passwords. I go with 2FA if something is important/certified based 2FA if it’s really important.
- Comment on Learning to drive 2 weeks ago:
I vote for: 2:47:18.987 and 9:51:43.051
Makes you concentrate on driving! /s
- Comment on God ****** dammit, here we go again 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, just tell your work IT staff that you need admin rights to your workstation so you can “install the software you want to” (that they don’t supply or support or update).
See how well that works. /s

All I can say is: Take my money!
How stupid of WF.

Oh, so it’s Management they would be making.

- Comment on Hackers demand France’s Schneider Electric pay a $125k ransom in baguettes 1 year ago:
My guess is they are going to require the ransom be delivered to various food banks - gotta work that PR angel.

Far more than I am proud to say, far more.
- Comment on Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution 1 year ago:
That was my original point: it is running Windows 11 right now. A bit slow, but it runs.
- Comment on Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution 1 year ago:
I can’t see investing upgrades into HW that old (I know I could, just doesn’t seem like the best use of money in the long run).
Also, my partner’s SW is only available for Windows and I don’t feel like teaching them enough Linux to run Wine under it.
- Comment on Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution 1 year ago:
Finally got around to looking up the info on it.
It’s a Dell Latitude D630 (model PP18L according to the label). CPU is: Intel Core 2 T7250, 2.00GHz, 800MHz, 2M L2 Cache, Dual Core Built: 27 MAR 2008 (actually newer than I thought) Last OS to have support from Dell was: Windows Vista 32/64 bit RAM is: 2.0GB, DDR2-667 SDRAM
Per this page it doesn’t meet the specs: Windows 11 requirements But that page also states: > you may not be able to install Windows 11 so it’s more a soft spec than an actual hard minimum.
I have systems from before 2000 that I’m sure would run x86 Linux (especially DSL Linux: [DamnSmallLinux.Org](www.damnsmalllinux.org and such). Can’t wait to browse using Lynx again :-)
- Comment on Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution 1 year ago:
Humm, I installed Windows 11 on a really old Dell laptop (clean install). I’m sure it was not HW supported but it installed fine. I may have had to click something like, " Yeah I know it doesn’t meet the specs"; but otherwise fine.
No, I don’t like Windows but it’s what my partner needed at the time.
- Comment on Horse-flippers? Have any horses from history, ever been fitted with horseshoes that improve their ability to swim? 1 year ago:
In historic times, people knew horses were land animals. So, I expect we will see this invention in about two more weeks.
