Established supply chain, workforce knowledge. Energy density. Ease of use.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 2 days ago:
Like I said, there’s always been a way to defeat this type of protection. This feature makes doing so more difficult.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 2 days ago:
So many commenters here and at the article get a hard on to bash MS for anything.
MS won’t make this a requirement, nor will they make using the Teams app a requirement. This isnt some backhanded way to get people to switch from Linux to windows.
This is MS responding to an enterprise feature request.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 2 days ago:
This has always been the case for anything that restricts screen capture. The tech makes getting detailed information more difficult, that’s all.
Adobe does this with PDFs by restricting printing. You can still record the screen and flip through each page.
Also, you’ll look odd holding your phone up to the screen.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 2 days ago:
Did you even read the article.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 3 days ago:
“Microsoft” “will” “block”
Those parts of the title.
The source though indicates that it will be a Feature and it even has its own name. Sadly it doesn’t point out that it will be optional.
Additionally you can see in the comments of the article that people think this will be mandatory.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 3 days ago:
It’s not accurate because it will be an optional feature.

Directors typically have to cut material to make time. It’s easier to cut opening sequences.
- Comment on Renovating a converted patio 1 week ago:
Sounds like you need to tear it apart and weather proof it.
I would aim for a 3-season porch and expect that it won’t be used the winter. A modern mini split heat pump would be able to handle heat, cooling, and humidity control if you need it.
- Comment on When society completely transitions to cash-less, what happens when the power goes down? End of the world? 1 week ago:
It won’t ever go 100% cashless. There’s too many coins and paper money floating around.
- Comment on What is this specific kind of sheet called? 1 week ago:
What happened?
- Comment on Could wastewater plant simply heat up water past 500C to decompose all chemicals and output clean water? 1 week ago:
Where does the energy to do that come from.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Why not here.
- Comment on You never forget your first 2 weeks ago:
I had an 800. Had the cassette tape media drive and some game for it, but could never get it working.
Also had that awful ET game.
I recall writing a screensaver in basic and letting it run overnight.
- Comment on Sega's Altered Beast Gets A Free Fan-Made Remake | Time Extension 2 weeks ago:
Altered beast could use a modern sequel/remake/prequel.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 2 weeks ago:
Of course. Republicans hate paying taxes. you can give back taxes to companies by giving them more money. You can even “reverse tariff” by subsidizing products that you want to be cheaper than the same imported products from China.
Tariffs are one of the worst ways to deal with this type of problem.
- Comment on To whom it may concern 2 weeks ago:
I used to get a ton of garbage mail at an apartment i lived at. I’d just take as many of the coupon booklets from my box, jam them into one of those return envelops, and stuff it back into the outgoing mail box.

Fridays could use some more chaos.
- Comment on iPhone photos 2 weeks ago:
I have a Synology nas and its photos app syncs files from my devices automatically. If you already have a nas or are considering one it might work for you.

Get a used phone from a friend and hide it from your controlling husband.

Cisco switches are full of bugs.

In a few years matching tiles containing crosswalks will be replaced with how well you can fake being content.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
The first thing any government should do is move away from ms office.
The 2nd thing they should do is fund and contribute to a distro and begin the transition from windows.
- Comment on Is 4chan dead forever? Where are the refugees going? 3 weeks ago:
Why would it go away completely? Why wouldn’t they plug the hack and continue on as they were before? Getting hacked doesn’t typically kill a service unless there was data deleted and no recovery option available.
- Comment on What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good? 3 weeks ago:
It has nearly every feature, and will make it extremely portable, easy to code, and easy to update.
This will be a huge success for people that want to work on an OS besides windows but need the features of Exchange/outlook.
- Comment on What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good? 3 weeks ago:
Microsoft Exchange/outlook. It’s such a good email platform, not just because of legacy email/smtp, but all of the other collaborative features that show up in Outlook.
