Heat/cool wiring is rarely correct, many thermostats will have a software option to reverse the wiring.
Sucks that yours got reset for no good reason but it’s probably for the best

Would you date you right now?
- Comment on Microsoft's cloud admin portals appear to be down worldwide 2 days ago:
Probably not AWS directly, just services on AWS that are also tied into azure. Quite the impressive failure domain.
- Comment on Microsoft's cloud admin portals appear to be down worldwide 2 days ago:
No, but their uptime is a lot better than most. A lot of companies would have monthly outages just for patching before they moved to massively scaled hosted services.
Remember when BlackBerry would have an outage maybe once a year and everyone complained?

- Comment on Microsoft Teams can record office presence from December 4 days ago:
Sure there is.
Keep a database of bssid’s and their gps coordinates.
Triangulate your location by the bssids around you and their signal strength.
You can use the netsh command in windows to see this info. You can use an app like geomac to see the location info of bssid’s from google, apple, Microsoft, and others.

I agree, but I was answering OPs question on how it would be done and an example of similar tech already in use at scale.

Well shit.
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 5 days ago:
Many US companies have businesses inside China, it’s bad but it’s not impossible. I wouldn’t be surprised if a state actually doesn’t.
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 5 days ago:
- Regulate all traffic sent or received across the state.
- Send traffic through a firewall.
- decrypt traffic
- drop traffic that can’t be decrypted.
Another easier way:
- Regulate ISPs with new state laws.
- require they block porn.
- Sue ISPs that violate the law.

Explorer tabs are 2022h2 so not that recent.
Terminal was 2020 so yeah that’s old.
Quick machine restore was only July.
Autopilot is enterprise provisioning any device from an out of box state. Only mobile devices have this.
Windows hello isn’t mandatory. it’s passwordless security, just like mobile devices.
I don’t believe Linux supports passkey in the os.
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS 6 days ago:
- Explorer tabs.
- Significant improvements to power management.
- Terminal/ssh
- Quick restore and autopilot
- Notepad tabs Windows hello, passkey support
Not OS, and it’s older now, but powershell is pretty great and vscode is nice.

- Comment on Xbox ditching hardware and exclusive games "makes sense," former Microsoft exec and Blizzard boss says, as "only a moron would continue" making consoles as games go third party 1 week ago:
Open source “Xbox”:
- Peg the performance requirements and a utility to verify them.
- Allow devs to build games with those specs in mind.
- filter in the store for games built for that spec.
- Comment on Today's Massive AWS Outage That Took Down Your Favorite Sites Is Still Going On 1 week ago:
Moving to Nutanix soon. Love their product. Proxmox looks good on paper too, just not mature enough in the enterprise to bet my paycheck on it.
Cloud infrastructure is expensive.

- Comment on Self Supporting Antenna Tower Maintenance 2 weeks ago:
I would not climb that. Does the manufacturer have recommendations? I would expect it rotates to the ground for maintenance. If so I would DIY it.

Veeam has a free client backup app that you can point to a share.
- Comment on Internet upload speeds on self-hosted Jellyfin/Plex Servers? 2 weeks ago:

Ideally set it at your egress point so that sessions get throttled only when your max upload is reached.
