- Comment on Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats 4 hours ago: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

- 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.

- require they block porn.
- Sue ISPs that violate the law.

- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS 5 days ago: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.

 Not OS, and it’s older now, but powershell is pretty great and vscode is nice.

- 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.
