- Comment on Garry's Mod to remove ALL Nintendo content from the Steam Workshop due to takedown 6 months ago:
Yep. I haven’t bought a Nintendo product in a long time, and it’s purely because they’re horrible custodians of their own products and brands and seem to actively hate their fans

- Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads 7 months ago:
I mean, that’s already a problem. Can’t recall the name but Amazon has their own network they’re working on to allow devices to communicate when they don’t have internet access
Personally, I opened up my tv years ago and desoldered the microphone that was built into it, and removed the antennas for it’s wifi chip. Total pain in the ass, but it’s worth doing if you like your tinfoil hat.

- Comment on Why are mental hospitals run like prisons? 8 months ago:
You are wrong thinking that it’s right.
I would literally rather die than go to one of your prisons. I have clinical depression, all my friends know that trying to involuntarily hold me would not end well. Once was enough.
- Comment on Microsoft's Pricey AI Assistant Copilot Leaves Early Adopters Feeling Cheated 8 months ago:
$30? Idk how it is in the consumer space, but in the Enterprise world the initial opening for copilot required 300 seats of E3 or better, and then a purchase of 300 seats of copilot at $30 each. They were supposed to drop the 300 copilot seat req q1 but I’m not sure if they did.
3030012=108,000 per year for copilot. E3 is 36 a month, 30012=129,600.
Big money.
- Comment on I'm a US citizen, people in other countries, what do you think when you read stories like these about the US health care system? 8 months ago:
I make between 60-100k a year, (sorry, I know that’s a wide range, but I rather not be specific) and I can’t afford insurance worth having. The only plans without a 10k out of my pocket before they cover anything at all started at $450/ month. I ended up with a plan that covers nothing until I spend like 5 grand out of pocket. Just shy of $300/mo.
But, I live in a red state, so maybe you’re not wrong. Private Insurance for healthcare is still an assinine idea in general high.

Your friend just hasn’t gotten bitten yet. You could have a million in the bank, cash, get sick and burn it up in no time. I blow basically every dollar I make because I think you’d have to be an idiot to grind and save up, unless you’re really wealthy, it can all go poof in an instant thru no fault of your own.
I ain’t suffering for the chance I might get to stop working now. I’ll enjoy my scraps now, and when it gets too be too much, I’ll paint the ceiling red.

Would you risk going into massive legal debt for project you make no money from? Or would you continue to develop it for yourself and no longer post it publicly.

- Comment on Broadcom ends VMware perpetual license sales, testing customers and partners 11 months ago:
My most trouble free environments are the azure ones. Servers spin up or down based on user count. It’s not cheap though.
Azure backups are the shit. Need to roll back to yesterday to pull a copy of a file? Log onto azure, go to backup section. Then you download an executable and get a key. Run it on your file server, and it mounts a copy of the disk as it was at backup time. So nice and easy.
- Comment on Broadcom ends VMware perpetual license sales, testing customers and partners 11 months ago:
Just curious–where are you hosting your vms? We have a handful that use azure, but most are running on prem esxi. I’m biased because I came in to nothing being documented
- Comment on Broadcom ends VMware perpetual license sales, testing customers and partners 11 months ago:
It’s fiddly as hell and you need to be a wizard to actually fully know your way around it. There’s so many ways to skin the cat–better hope things are documented. Their support is also beyond worthless for anything beyond buying more time with your boss for you to troubleshoot. I’ve put in a few tickets for odd issues, never had them resolve a single one. Half the time the client software updates fix one thing but break another two.
I much prefer a VMware horizon linked clone setup for end user VDIs, issues are usually confined to one user when they happen with those in my experience. And I can just put them on a spare, then rebuild their VM with two or three clicks to cut down on troubleshooting.
