- Comment on I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks 2 weeks ago:
This is probably my favourite metal flashdrive of all time. I had a 1GB of the first generation and then later another usb3 one of 32GB
These days I carry one of these on my keychain. Image
Surprisingly fast given the size. Will do 300MB/s sequential read. About 90MB/s write
I use medicat/ventoy on it with windows 11 , debian and linux mint ISOs on it.

One of these took me through university in 2002
I really miss the hardware read only switch.
Computer labs did not have front USB back in those days, so we had to choose between floppies or diving under the desks. I was in the diver club.

- Comment on Intel’s advanced chipmaking process reportedly runs into trouble 2 months ago:
Intel started running into trouble 15 years ago when they appointed CFO leadership as CEOs. They eroded 20 years of engineering leadership for the sake of “stakeholder value”. They also destroyed the company culture that made them successful and replaced it with MBA corporate BS.
You can’t rebuild that overnight. You basically need to start over.

Great! Let’s up your income tax rate to 90% and add a 1% per annum wealth tax over 25mil in assets, so all tertiary education can be free and people can earn a universal basic income, while they get settled into a career path they love.

Not in our case. We only take on clients that converted to browser based apps. Bit we are yet to convert the heavy excel users. The one we have converted are light Excel users and online excel is working just fine for them.
- Comment on Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL? 6 months ago:
We are trialing about 20 Linux desktops (10 Linux mint and 10 zorin OS) across 2 of our MSP clients.
So far, they have had zero technical tickets in 6 months. They did have double the average user training tickets compared to windows machines. Most of the questions were around how to work with editable PDFs and where is the document was they just saved (file manager questions).
Zorin OS seems to be winning on the usability metrics. Its very polished and more closely matching the UI of people coming from windows.

- Comment on Hackers can extract secret encryption keys from Apple’s Mac chips 7 months ago:
It can run with user level permissions, so any software or script can be used to extract keys. It does not need to be dedicated malware.
It’s probably something that can be done via browser extentions or possibly even Javascript, if they leverage a browser vulnerability to gain system user level access.
