That’s one report. Every plane is hit on average once or twice a year, occasionally something minor will happen.

Flying into a thunderstorm isn’t forbidden, it’s just not a good idea and generally avoided. Planes are designed to take a lightning strike without issue, I’ve been on a plane that was struck.

Since the focus has been on the copper lines between the airport and the atc building, I assume their network links are just dropping and they don’t know why. This could be damage from age or water ingress.

Donation nags to users were added in a recent update. I think it shows up in a year from the last popup, so about 11 months away

Sync isn’t well updated / supported and I’d recommend moving to another client. I was a long time sync user so I found it hard, but I personally settled on Thunder https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hjiangsu.thunder&hl=en_CA

Was it left open + maybe in a humid area? Brittle usually means wet filament.

You could do something like nextcloud to solve a lot of issues, but I’d still hesitate to recommend on-prem hardware and managing hardware yourself. It really comes down to the business tolerance for outages though, maybe the computers being down for a day or two doesn’t matter.

Are you providing a support contract long term? Are you backed by multiple people in case you’re away and their business is down? I say this more figuratively than specifically you, this could also apply to their internal IT guy who wants to do this.

I’d strongly suggest deferring to a local business IT services company, unless you’re an active partner in the business. They should find a company they are comfortable with and trust, then use the products they recommend and are comfortable with.

You got it from a friend on a pile of slackware and floppies labeled various letters. It felt amazing and fresh, everything you could need was just a floppy away.

Then we got Gentoo and suddenly it was fun to wait 4 days to compile your kernel.

Memory connected via the pci bus to the CPU, would be too slow for application use like that.

Apple had to use soldered in ram for their unified memory because the length of the traces on the mobo news to be so tightly controlled. Pci is way too slow comparatively.

Modern flash is already faster than your pci bus, and it’s cheaper than dram. Using ram doesn’t add anything.

It uses to be a thing before modern flash chips, you’d have battery backed dram pci-e cards.

Good.

Escalate to your manager. She’s not performing her duties, and if she’s struggles with them then her duties need to reflect that.

You can get little Bluetooth media remotes, maybe that would help?

There’s a bunch of types but as an example https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMaANmb

Aka the compliment sandwich. A technique I personally dislike. Be honest and open with your feedback in a positive way, don’t try to hide it between compliments. If your feedback is simply negative, keep it to yourself.

Probably. I’m just lazy and microwave it.

Chicken fried rice. It’s a few more than 5 ingredients, but it’s all easy prep.

The texture isn’t quite right since its not actually fried, but the flavor is solid. I make double and freeze in portioned baggies.

Oracle. We weren’t even a customer. We just had an ip space with a bunch of customers on it. Yhey tried to claim we needed to pay for all their virtualbox downloads since we weren’t a home isp.

Interesting, I’ve got some reading to do. Thanks for the links.
