Thanks for remembering us Not Rick.

but do you know about the 3 shells?

Nothing. Everything just keeps getting worse. Leukemia. Pancreatitis. No contact with abusive family. Relationship with abusive partner falling apart. Will probably end up homeless. Certainly feels like nobody gives a fuck I have problems or exist.

USA is killing me, sorry I’m not happy about it. I know I’m not special, I’m just one more broken loser.

Edit: why is my whiney bullshit upvoted. Just let me die.

And this is literally why people like myself hide my cancer from my employer.

US discrimination laws are a fucking joke.

First Google hit from Esquire. Hosted on “hearstapps” which is owned by Hearst, a major media company.

I’m literally talking about news articles, though, who are hosting their own images.

Shit, I was just looking at massgrave the other day, didn’t realize they had direct links. Thanks a bunch.

just gotta know how to grab it from MS.

Be a kind soul and share, please and thank you.

Ah yes, I forgot about the existence of Entrprise edition. I’ve just never dealt with a business that paid for such a thing, I guess.

How are you accomplishing this? Provisioning the PCs to be part of the domain with a Powershell install script during automated setup? Because I was under the impression that this also had become a difficult task with 11. Because a Windows 11 machine doesn’t know it’s going to be part of the domain until it has been added to the domain. So, the only way I can see that working is like Powershell combined with WDS or something.

EDIT: Also, the LTSC version of Windows 11 isn’t coming until later in 2024. So I’m very curious how this works with 11 specifically.

I guess they need a Jewish guy named Yehoshua to flip tables, kick out the moneychangers and whip them.

Exactly. All these articles on how tech companies are “turning scammy.” No, they were always scammy, it’s just become unavoidably obvious now.

I remember around the same time you dropped FB saying to people that their metrics on targeted ads were undoubtedly inflated. They’ve literally always been feeding the world nothing but bullshit.

EDIT: It’s weird how hard it was to find this image. In a lot of places it shows up as “image not found.” Looks like Zuck has been trying to erase it from the internet.

Man, journalists out here lately just murdering Betteridge .

Good, though. It doesn’t need to be a given.

For sure, a fridge is a really bad one to be using on an actual ungrounded GFCI, exactly for the reason of risk of expired food.

I like my homeserver but if something trips and its offline for a while it’s not gonna ruin my day.

The battery can be recharged eventually unless it’s already be discharged many times or it’s left alone and dead long enough to kill any ability to recharge it.

1. Install GFCI plugs. ^[1]

2. Buy a small, appropriately sized UPS.

3. Profit?

Disclaimer: Am not actually electrician. Just know this about GFCI from electrician friends and pointing to a decent explainer.

What’s crazy is the cybersecurity teams at big corporations actually hate this because its putting half their security in Microsofts hands. (And their security has been abysmal for a hot minute or more)

Corporations hate this shit too because they want to be using their internal, domain-controlled users, not Microsoft accounts that pass a ton of trade secrets to Microsoft. Is Microsoft training its AI on your trade secrets? Who knows!

So Microsoft is literally killing core competencies not just for end-users, but for businesses, too.

This will convince a lot of businesses the switch to an all Linux internal domain to be worth it, imho.

Linux has a BSOD kernel panic screen now too sooooooooo

That’s a deep cut.

Next Sunday Saturday, AD

I have a soft spot for The Day the Earth Froze. Kids come running for the great taste of Sampo!

It’s the same shit with offshoring. They do it because they can pay people less.

It’s always fucked with me.

Because no, no human is worth less than others based on geographic location or local economy or where you came from originally.

If you’re educated enough to do the same job as a US citizen, and you’re working for a company based in the US, you should get equivalent pay to your US counterparts. You’re not worth less as a human because you’re from a different area.

It’s fucking disgusting, I’ve thought it was disgusting my whole life. It’s nothing but exploitation.

It hurts people in the USA by driving down wages and it hurts people internationally because these companies pat themselves on the back for “lifting up” these people and economies when the real reason they’re doing is they’re cheap fucking bastards. If they really wanted to lift up those economies, they’d pay people equivalent US wages in the local currency.

If that means you make a society of local millionaires overnight, oh well. This whole paying people less because their local economy is smaller is fuckstupid hateful hurtful bullshit.
