Sharepoint mainly. Mandatory at work. I don’t run IT.
- Comment on 3D Printed Art: Alice in Wonderland 5 days ago:
Very cool write up. I’ve always wondered what tools people use to do things like this.
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 5 days ago:
The reason there aren’t anymore crank windows isn’t because it’s a mandatory upsell, it’s because motorized is probably as cheap or even cheaper thanks to modern manufacturing and the preference of 99% of other people.

The just install Linux crowd gets really old. How’s that gonna help on a work machine where I HAVE to use Office to collaborate? Oh right, it’s not! Totally unhelpful.

We need more people well off to do things like this. Well done!
- Comment on If you work hard enough, your work will [pay off].’ And that’s not true. 1 week ago:
I was going to say that I’ve learned that networking is like 90% of getting ahead. Treat everyone you work with and know well, keep in contact with them every once in a while, and it can, not that it will, pay off.
Worked for me. I’m lucky.

And guest.
- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 1 week ago:
You aren’t the only one who doesn’t get the Slack love. I HATE their design philosophy. It has threads. That’s all it’s got going for i in my opinion. The rest of it is confusing and a pain to use.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 1 week ago:
I’m actually inspired. We need more of this!

Great answer getting to the point of the question.
- Comment on Cloudflare announces AI Labyrinth, which uses AI-generated content to confuse and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and bots that ignore “no crawl” directives. 1 week ago:
The problem you aren’t recognizing is that, until humans are no longer driven by self preservation, there will always be oppression in any system. They all have and will continue to breakdown. It’s easy to blame capitalism but even socialist systems eventually cave under the weight of greed and power. We are the problem mon frère.
- Comment on The wildest details in the Facebook memoir Meta is trying to bury 2 weeks ago:
All of this is totally plausible and not that wild. I believe her. Also Streisand effect much? Never knew of the book till now.
- Comment on Kernel saunters – Apple rearranges XNU kernel with exclaves 3 weeks ago:
Essentially, Apple is trying to realize the security advantages of a microkernel without tossing the monolithic aspects of XNU.
Pretty neat hardening of the OS. Decent write up that isn’t too deep in the weeds.

And you’re being pedantic and missing the point.
- Comment on A TV With Contrast You Haven’t Seen For Years 3 weeks ago:
So a projector. Just like DLP. That’s the backlight technology in this case. Instead of an LCD screen being integrated into the projector itself, it’s on a larger screen in front of it. Same difference as far as lighting technology goes.
- Comment on A TV With Contrast You Haven’t Seen For Years 3 weeks ago:
A better one would be “A Projector With Contrast You Haven’t Seen In Years.”
- Comment on A TV With Contrast You Haven’t Seen For Years 3 weeks ago:
That was once a lot more true than nowadays since the software has ways to mitigate the degradation. Once you’ve gone to a display with true black like OLED, nothing no else compares honestly. They even make movie theater screens look bad.

AdGuard still works very well.
- Comment on YSK: If your house has a split AC unit it probably could use a cleaning 4 weeks ago:
Hey, it’s your warranty. They do more than just spray down your coils. They’re checking for pressure loss and leaks as well as cleaning the blower motor and wheel (which is where a lot of issues occur).
- Comment on YSK: If your house has a split AC unit it probably could use a cleaning 4 weeks ago:
This is why HVAC companies tell you that you need to have maintenance performed on them once a year on each system. That’s not an upsell that’s to maintain the warranty as they literally wont run as well year over year without cleaning and will half the life of your expensive system.
- Comment on Humanity May Achieve the Singularity Within the Next 12 Months, Scientists Suggest 5 weeks ago:
However, not everyone thinks AGI is a dead certainty. Some experts argue that human intelligence is more multifaceted than what the current definition of AGI describes. For example, some AI experts think of the human mind in terms of eight intelligences, of which “logical-mathematical” is just one (alongside it exists, for example, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and existential intelligence). Deep learning pioneer Yann LeCun thinks AGI should be rebranded to “advanced machine intelligence,” and argues that human intelligence is too specialized to be replicable. The report also suggests that, while AI can be an important tool in making new discoveries, it can’t make these discoveries on its own.
This is more realistic.

Bingo. I really wish Explorer,OneDrive, and Microsoft’s office stuff would support tags. It would actually help me in the workplace u like the CoPilot initiative.
- Comment on Tech's Dumbest Mistake: Why Firing Programmers for AI Will Destroy Everything 1 month ago:
The CEO and C Suite are the least important people in a company. They can be changed out with relatively little interruption and it takes a lot longer to see the effects. However, you have a on the ground workforce stop producing and the effects are immediate and long lasting.

And that was with the same RAM on all 4 sticks?

Honestly, this is the answer and also the future of OS’s.
- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 1 month ago:
Sadly I have more on my phone than my work computer by a wide margin. I have 8 focus’s, each with something like 60 tabs. They’re basically bookmarks at this point. The phone does such a great job of killing those processes that it really doesn’t matter.
