haywire

That is one strong unit, the thought of the weight of those devices gives me back pain.

What if your PC has no camera?

Never been able to track down how on my redmi note 9 pro, annoys the crap out of me when I’m driving and the music suddenly goes quiet.

Do they need to be separate logins if they are to access the same files and connected device(s)?

Just a Machine01 account with access to a shared drive or OneDrive for backup would do it wouldn’t it?

If the machine is only used locally then limit it’s access to the internet so people have to actually login to access/download anything and treat it as part of the equipment it’s attached to.

It’s the same with energy pricing, 15 different rates for the same gas and electricity just from one supplier. Half of them you aren’t eligible for for some reason but they won’t tell you outright you have to dig through the terms.

Then comparison sites appear to help, some suppliers aren’t on them “to keep pricing simple”, aaarrgghh.

It just means in most cases you end up paying too much for something and they make more money out of you.

Looks a little like David Mitchell, the British comedian. That’s kinda scary in itself.

Came here to say just that. Mr CEO over not thinking this would happen is just detached from the world.

Lonely people aren’t lonely by choice a lot of the time, they just can’t find a place they fit in. You find out there is a place you can chat with “someone” that understands and that is all it takes.

I’ll go plain old paracetamol which works for me most of the time. If that fails then ibuprofen would be my next choice.

Forgive me if this is an overly simplistic view but if the ads with cookies are all served on Google’s platform say then would all those ads have access to the Google cookie jar?

If they don’t now then you can bet they are working on just that.

There are a lot of games that work. Still some that hold out, mainly due to their shitty anticheat software.

Great. So managing printers, network settings and quickly comparing settings from two places becomes a weird game of screenshots and guessing.

Remote support workers of the world collectively shake their fist in despair.

No way on this planet I will be able to explain the new UI to your average office worker.

Love a bit of PRTG, it can monitor pretty much anything via SNMP and the like.

Someone else may be able to offer a better solution but it’s more to do with events being tied to the draw of a frame.

Update positions of objects, check where things are each time a frame is drawn. Speed up the rate frames are drawn at and the logic does those checks much, much faster. Causing issues.

AI generated content is great and all but it drowns out everything else on there. Anyone can type a prompt and generate a great looking image with a couple of attempts these days it seems.

The people spending days, weeks, months and more on a piece can’t keep up.

When it comes to WiFi Mac’s mobile phones have fudged them for “privacy” for years, if this goes main stream I see the same thing coming in for Bluetooth.

They promise the macs are random but I don’t have much faith in that.

Looking up a real Mac to see what manufacturer it came from is something I do almost daily sorting out network issues for customers and really is not difficult. From there it takes a leap to guess what the device is if it’s name doesn’t help but more often than not it’s easy enough to see what’s out there, the random macs of phones stick out like a sore thumb as they don’t come back as anything usually so you can then track that around the network and see what they are up to that way.

To be fair, they may have a rule about anything without the original plug/cord I know places near me do. Still a shame it ends up going to waste.

I acquire the MP3 of the song I want from where ever I can find it. Be that buying it, YouTube converter or elsewhere. Then copy it to the SD card on my phone to listen to. No ads, no data connection needed. I even bother to set the album covers and tags up so it is all searchable in the Oto app I use on my phone.

Thinking out loud but wouldn’t chrome bookmarks for the URLs backed up to a file/account work better than a sheet of it’s just for access?

As we have mostly Windows based machines we look after everything is in Pulseway or TeamViewer. Routers and misc tend to be on specific ports on their connections IP and we have a shared Keeper repository for passwords and notes.

The company I work for has been buying other companies and customers like is silly season in the last year so we are digesting all the extra crud that came with it and trying to streamline half a dozen CRM, RM and Monitoring systems at the moment.
