Ok the use is banned but you can still bring them. Fear alleviated. Customers just need to start complaining about the in flight charging properly now instead of solving it themselves.

Enjoyed the read :)

Man if you use Makita tools really really well but your coworker hates your tools and does the exact same job but with Milwaukee, does the customer care?

So really, who cares. Tools are tools.

For some people, Linux is their hobby. I wouldn’t dare say someone’s hobby is bad even if it’s not for me.

I use Linux a lot for robotics. I use windows a lot for sysadmin at work. I need both and both work and get out of my way. Ultimately it’s the things I do with my tools that make me consider their value.

It’s like the difference between someone preaching and someone who does. Words are cheap. Actions speak louder than words. People who talk about one or the other should have little influence on your consideration of an os. People who get stuff done, the stuff you want done. They’re the ones you watch.

People like to conflate two problems together.

Lots of Australia is small and far away from metropolis.

Lots of metropolis could happily exist with wonderful multi modal transport options like trains bus bike and walking.

Between the two, cars grant autonomy outside public planning for individuals to still be individuals to get between families and economy between remote to remote and metro to remote even when there’s no feasible public transport.

The devil in the detail is the problem at it always is anything when you look into it.

Yes there’s big opportunity to improve mass transit. Yes there’s a place for long range individual and small scale transit. Yes there’s a place for last mile delivery.

But the average Joe doesn’t really and shouldn’t really need to know, or care. Why does it take a nation, that is every individual, to understand and vote for what is nuanced and specific? Why can’t bold moves be made and results be explained?

Anyway that’s enough drunk reply

Oh you think you exist somehow outside the simulation and are not just a construct of it. The Truman of the show.

You could retire off this pun.

I went through a ghibli catalog watch while travelling in Japan one time, including Hiroshima peace Park (another “do once” thing. On the flight home I watched grave of the fireflies for the first time. I do not recommend watching it on a plane in public, when most everyone is sleeping so you try (fail) to keep your ugly sobbing to yourself.

Great movie

Ah okay thanks now I know what you’re taking about.

I’m trying to figure out the gap in the market you’re trying to fill other than “for steam fan boys it would allow us fans of steam games that already exist in a native place, in a non native place!”

Correct me what is going into it that isn’t already somewhere, and who that appeals to?

Or is this just thought experiment?

What would you suggest they sell on their Android store that users would be so encouraged to install a new store and then what they want?

Steam already has a store on Android, you just can’t play games there because most games on steam either already exist on the native google play store, or aren’t compatible with mobile architectures like Arm64. Most mobiles unlike a arm laptop, have no x86/amd64 emulator which is what those games are compiled as by their developers.

So what’s left?

Do you mean from steam?

You just turn up the quality settings in the menu. You already paid for the texture and models, you don’t need to pay again.

Enterprise applications are often developed by the most “quick, ship this feature” form of developers on the world. Unless the client is paying for the development a quick look at the sql table shows often unsalted passwords in a table.

I’ve seen this in construction, medical, recruitment and other industries.

Until cyber security requires code auditing for handling and maintaining PII as law, mostly its a “you’re fine until you get breached” approach. Even things like ACSC Australia cyber security centre, has limited guidelines. Practically worthless. At most they suggest having MFA for Web facing services. Most cyber security insurers have something but it’s also practically self reported. No proof. So if someone gets breached because someone left everyone’s passwords in a table, largely unguarded, the world becomes a worse place and the list of user names and passwords on haveibeenpwned grows.

Edit: if a client pays and therefore has control to determine things like code auditing and security auditing etc as well as saml etc etc, then it’s something else. But say in the construction industry I’ve seen the same garbage tier software used at 12 different companies, warts and all. The developer is semi local to Australia ignoring the offshore developers…

Too scary, I couldn’t check it for content. I didn’t want to get nightmares.

Can’t agree more.

I’ll add, from a organisational risk perspective, a government should ensure its not locked into reliance on corporations. There’s certainly an assumption especially in the government’s I work in, Microsoft 365 has no viable alternative. Yet that itself should be warning for the ACSC or signals directorate invest in open code such that if the provider aligns with a country you change positions on, you can fork your code, tender off its continued support to new maintainers, and continue on.

Well, I know that ultimately nobody will get in trouble even if fears became reality. Everyone will put up their hands and say “we couldn’t see this coming and we had no alternative so there’s nothing that could have been done to prevent it.”. It’s just a disappointment that it becomes a missed opportunity for taxpayer investments to be invested, instead of lost to corporate fees straight overseas.

That’s why your school got it for pennies.

That’s why Apple sells at near cost to schools.

Walk into the garden, don’t mind the walls, enjoy your stay, you won’t want to leave.

“Starry night” on one side, “the scream” on the other. But only if you can get the number plate “Van Go”.

In my 20 years of outsource IT career I’ve helped lots of business moguls with their personal home mail servers, since I already support their business IT. This doesn’t mean it’s easy, it means they’ve got money to ask someone to do it.

I’m going to tell you, it’s all nice and easy if you understand servers, backup, networking, dns, and security. If you don’t, you’ll probably get it working, for a while, until it doesn’t.

Why do you pay IT if it’s already working? Why do you pay IT if it’s not working?

Wow I read through the blog post and though I’m not a developer I’ve compiled and built Linux packages and operating systems in the past so now I want to fly home and give your script a go myself.

I enjoyed your write up. I can’t comment on programming, but I enjoy a good journey and story.

My final takeaway is your image. I’ll keep it in mind. Interesting!

Make a YouTube on it and I’ll watch it. I’m not a coder though. But benchmarking and debunking is interesting. Either way it goes. Clear or complex the results come out it’ll be interesting.
