  Are you sure there is no ticket? Some systems let you make tickets that the end user is not notified for. Also, depending on the size/ levels of automation your call may have populated all your info on the agents end.

  Depending on the help desk they probably knew it was you. Did you call from a phone HR knows about and is personal to you? If it was a walk up, they make the ticket before or after resetting your MFA?

  I use it a fair bit. Mind, it’s something like formating a giant json stdout into something I want to read…

  I do find it’s useful for sketching out an outline In pseudo code.

  I’m in a similar boat. Flew across the country because after “missing” 2017s I immediately felt regret.

  But the colors. Can someone who understands this stuff please explain to me why a simple reduction in light in the lead up to (and following) totality makes all the colors seem “wrong”?

  Id say if it’s in your budget - get one. We have no other apple products in the house but that. The biggest annoyance was making an apple account (for some stupid reason they require it…)

  +1. We are a household of sysadmins/engineers. Sure I or my wife could design a PC for media in an afternoon - but I don’t want to deal with it.

  An apple TV was a no fuss, no headache media box that can interface with the servers that store my media.

  Enterprise tooling (aka a usable API) and it stays out if my way.

  With how they keep shoving snaps at everyone? At my work a migration to Debian is starting to be openly pondered.

  You know the answer.

  It’s not uncommon for the password manager to not be on the same system as where the password is being entered - hence a human needs to type. For example: consumer electronics with their own dinky little screens. Smart TVs/game systems and servers where remote access is not possible (or copy/paste does not work by design).

  Depends on how niche. Some stuff unfortunately only comes from truly large user bases. At a guess, the further you go from a tech/liberal core and overlapping hobbies, the longer it will take for the content to emarge.

  The people who are here are more willing to post. So less of us overall but also less lurkers.

  Honestly? It’s enjoyable. Some of its predictable, some of the dialogue is brilliant, and sometimes the combat is a slog (or just not balanced well - especially early on when you don’t have a lot of options). I do wish it had branching dialogue options but that’s just me. Oh and the art is top notch.
