Reminds me of when students used to pull the 5¼” floppy drive blanking plates off PC’s, reach inside and steal the RAM.

- Comment on “You heard wrong” - users brutually reject Microsoft's "Copilot for work" in Edge and Windows 11 1 week ago:
One step ahead - installed Syncthing on an always-on Windows box located at my office, pointed it at some needed Google Drive folders, and synced to Debian. The Windows box has other syncing tasks anyway so it’s not costing anything in power. The Debian laptop is becoming my main workhorse.
rclone is too much of a PITA to configure.
insync is way too expensive, especially with multiple Google Drive accounts.
Gnome’s sync thinggie does weird stuff with filenames in LibreOffice etc, is basically unusable.I need Google Drive due to my existing business setups.

Australian here. Limit is 100km/h? Fine, set cruise to 100 and relax. Not fast enough? Tough, that’s your problem. (but we get fined for 3km/h over here.)

Now to hook two modems to two computers and get them to ‘talk’ over WhatsApp…

Most cryptos are deflationary. That seems to cause hoarding.
Having no inflation sounds good to me if paired with no growth in population, but I know little about economics.

- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 4 months ago:
Reminds me of my senior teaching days 15 years ago. Solitaire, same.exe and saddam.exe and whack.exe soon had those oldies clicking, double clicking and dragging.
Didn't think then that the situation could reverse.
Same still exists on Android and is still a brain twister.

Couldn't people just hire a VPS in another country and VPN with that using Wireguard etc, or even use RDP etc to it? Is it even a VPN if you're remotely operating a computer in another country?
