Agreed, but Lemmy feels like the old Internet for the most part. I suspect that 90% ish of comments here are actual humans. The remaining 10% is pushing some kind of agenda.
Still waiting for a good deal on the OLED model to convince myself to upgrade from the LCD. I’m hoping the holiday sale this year might bring some deals.
Gen Z struggles with file systems in general, because the vast majority of their technical experience is on mobile OS’s. However, Gen Z compsci students are somehow far beyond the skill set that millennials had at their age. Or at least that has been my experience with interns over the past 12 years.
I’m in a union and still get pizza parties from my manager because he’s awesome and likes to get his employees lunch (out of his own pocket) during tough projects. It’s nice to take a half hour to chit chat over a meal before getting back to the grind.
Well shit. Are there any good floss options out there then?
$80,000 seems more than reasonable to fix a roof and floor imo.
The older I get, the more problems that vodka solves.
Which flavor? Pro?
Spiderwebs or insects can mess with the sensors, likewise with dust. Try spraying some canned air inside. Or if it’s a few years old, you may want to replace it.
This is not my experience on Windows 10 Pro
I knew he was the one when we started high fiving after every fart.
Everyone here is dramatically overcomplicating the solution. Simply:
This stops the update service and will absolutely prevent windows updates from running. BUT it reverts at the next boot, so be careful.
If you want a more permanent solution, you can edit a regkey to trick the system into looking for a local wsus server, which will prevent it from reaching out to the web. Read this for a rundown: https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/security-updates/windowsupdateservices/21669493

I live in an apartment and just charge it once a week for 30 min while I do my grocery shopping. Ezpz. I’ve been doing this for 3 years and have never had a problem.
I used to use “guys and gals” in a work setting, but then I hired an employee who identified as non binary (hope I’m using the right word here) and I didnt want them to feel excluded. I started using “all” or “yinz” instead and it stuck. At this point I just don’t assume pronouns unless someone tells me what theirs are.
Sure thing, I was quoting this article: https://www.usatoday.com/money/blueprint/investing/are-you-upper-middle-class/
Bear in mind that’s individual income. If you’re looking at family income it’s around 130k (per the latest census data).
My household makes more than that and the grocery prices are still hitting us hard. Went from spending ~$150/month to spending almost that much per week. We’re not eating steaks or anything and we cook from scratch. It’s wild.
I was thinking more like people who live at home with their parents, and their parents buy the food. The top 20% of earners start at $80,000/year and those folks are certainly seeing the impact.
I work in IT. My favorite part is focusing on a difficult problem that no one else can solve, and fixing it. My nickname at work is “the tank” because they can point me at any issue and I’ll fix it. I’ll also toss in the paycheck. I had a recruiter tell me 2 years ago that my skill set isn’t even worth $65k and now I’m making more than double that.
My least favorite part is the occasional late nights. Worked a 20 hour shift the other day for a particularly difficult major issue. This happens maybe twice a year. I’m at an age where it takes a toll.
Wow, yet again it’s not a trans person.
HorizonXI is free and immensely popular if anyone wants a good look at what old-school MMOs used to be. It requires cooperation and teamwork at every step, and the community is wonderful.
