I don't think it's ethical to be the police and tell users what they should or should not do on their computers.
For example if we use PHP should we be forced to hand over the sourcecode of our work to the PHP foundation because we used their product? No. It's ours. Worse if we are paid or you have investors it's unethical to contribute as they paid for your features and product.
Stuff is not free and won't be developed if people can't use it to make money or feel free to use it without being sued.
No one is forcing anyone to stop FOSS by BSD. Freebsd is still around and so is FreeNAS, Juniper, and Pfsense. Pfsense contributes too! They sell the switches and routers still but you can build your own just fine. GPL can be toxic which forced Apple not to use it as an example from their lawyers
It's not us on slashdot. It's those pesky executives who see those Amazon Build advertisements in every airport. They then see the cost savings by firing IT and having Microsoft and Amazon do the job for them
They want to get their bonus by cutting costs. Poor performance? Ha, you're IT. That's your problem not theirs for being smart
To management they win. They want bargain basement IT costs where we are all are just putting out fires all day and not using our brains to being proactive with a good infrastructure. Opps Indian help desk is putting out the easy fires I mean . Management wants that nice bonus and a rise in the short term share price over all else
It's not that they intentionally cripple it to rip you off. It's that you are using a shared resource. Performance needs to be consistent for everybody including those on the same server your Tennant is on. Azure is the same way with Office 365 Exchange. If an executive has 1 TB of archives in Outlook God help you! The networking is throttled on Azure so any PowerShell commands are useless
Maybe those who are anti Windows 10 due to piracy and pro Chrome may want to go a step further and apply your principles to all products. Not just the ones that think are cool.
I and the world have no idea how fast or how high up that is. Scientist should be using the Metric system like everyone else which makes it easier to understand and do calculations with.
And meanwhile folks here playing victim will be foaming at the mouth when July hits blaming Microsoft instead of themselves for refusing to turn Windows update on.
I refuse to leave Chrome 70 and put in a hack to disable Google update until that happens.
Current Chrome is unusable and migraine inducing. They need to fire these kids with their flat phone interfaces. I can't even see which tab is which now on my monitors
I can replace you easily. Name the price and it will be done. There is always another programmer better and more experienced than you. There are those just better or have better people skills that get along with management.
No sense bowing to your corporate masters as your a cog black box to them and only the rockstar CEO is important... FYI he is not either according to Wall Street
That's bullshit. If you had a massive heart attack to died today your employer will still exist tomorrow. Products or services provided will still be done. Hell, your team will still deliver it's products too! You are 100% replaceable always.
Don't delude yourself. Former CEOS who contributor hell of a lot more than you from McDonald's, Microsoft, Home Depot, GM, etc have all been fired. Yet they are still selling shit and making money.
People need to put their ego blinders off and realize they are not God's and are vulnerable just every one else.
I have. It depends where you work. They won't use that exact verbage but it will be along theines of wow that cheap contractor we only pay 20 an hour wrote more lines of code than you with an an uncomfortable laugh or now how many tickets did you do? Are overseas teams handled more?
Then the boss will look at your phone on your desk and go hmm and walk away and make the assumption you text or are on Facebook and don't work like the Indians do. This of course in an effort to scare you or let you know he is not happy with your performance and let you know he can get more for less if you don't speed up etc.
It maybe illegal to blacklist but let's say I am HR or a manager. I can say nothing wrong but in a dread tone mixed with some sighs say something like " sigh breath. Yeah he worked here. Uh huh in a sarcastic tone. He did X for Y time. I then will be silent. When asked if you were rehireable I say sharply and rudely SIR! I can't answer that!
Technically I followed the law and didn't defame you if you recorded my words. However, you most certainly would have a rescinded job offer.
I remember back on slashdot where Wow was so big whole stories were on it and addiction was covered. Today? A few old geeks may still log in on occasion. I think micro transactions have went there course and now the CEO wants his bonus and since Wow can't grow he needs to cut costs to give himself more bonus money.
At this point I would sell if I were a long term investor. Maybe stay for short term boosts but since Kung fu panda a half decade ago I am surprised it is still around. WOTLK was the last good expansion... written before Activation bought em.
They deserve what they get. It's 2019. Hardware acceleration, CPU instructions to separate data vs instructions, and more than 4 gigs of RAM are outside the realm of XP. That's just a few examples. Chrome too is not updated anymore.
Go use Linux if you want something modern on your ancient stuff but keep in mind people are under no obligation to support you. 90% of everyone else has moved on.
Yes. If you developed websites that had to run in IE and especially ancient IE you would be whistling a different tune.
Supporting old technology increases security risks to customers and creates technical debt and costs more. It also prevents innovation that would benefit everyone including IT workers.
Example is CSS in HTML 4 can't be used thanks to IE 6 for 12 years! HTML 5 could have prevented much of the data breaches from retailers and more up to date databases. That can't happen because too many grandmas and cheap ass businesses refused to leave old IE.
Modern apps are much better and more secure bit thanks to Windows 7 won't be coming to Windows.
XP was terrible and I was shocked and dumbfounded here on slashdot of all places that people thought using a shitty insecure 13 year old OS was the best Windows ever. It wasn't great in 2001 either than not based on DOS or WinME
It means your credentials are not saved by default in credential manager. Ask your SharePoint developer to include this? Also it's possible he was instructed to do this for security authentication if your employer is too cheap to use MFA on Azure, Ms federation, or some third party system if security is important.
Slashdot Mirror
They are not a reputable tech news outlet. Especially after this

Don't expect your product to be successful if companies never use it

Since this is a Mammoth sized bloat with everything under the sun I wonder if we can port Xbox to SystemD and run them under it like we do Linux.
I and the world have no idea how fast or how high up that is. Scientist should be using the Metric system like everyone else which makes it easier to understand and do calculations with.
Shoes tie You!
No but Vladimir Putin https://www.youtube.com/playli..."> wearing them?!!
And meanwhile folks here playing victim will be foaming at the mouth when July hits blaming Microsoft instead of themselves for refusing to turn Windows update on.
Can you please put the option to put the tabs and blinding white off back to where it was at version 70?
I still use that version as I get migraines easily and it's hard to differentiate tabs with my multiple monitors
I refuse to leave Chrome 70 and put in a hack to disable Google update until that happens.

There are ways around things
Criemer is that you?

Um owa has worked outside of IE for many years now. Your employer must have exchange 2003?!
If that is the case you're IT department is fucked as support left years ago
