I didn't say feed, I said webcast. Usually they'll stick around to tell you the status of the landing attempt. This time they said "We're just listening now to.. oh, we'll update our twitter and website. Goodbye!"
I signed up for a Voice and 6GB data plan when the iPhone first came to Canada. It cost almost $85/mo (taxes in). It's still cheaper than any comparable plan you can get now.
I got fed up and did the math. It would actually be cheaper to sign up with GoogleFi in the US, and just roam in Canada.
So what I do now, is I use a flex data tablet plan. Costs $17 for 3GB, and $10/1GB after that, and I use a VOIP provider for voice and text, which costs less than a dollar a month for the number, and pennies a minute for usage. I would literally have to be talking for 2 weeks straight before I ever hit what my old plan cost. Most months it costs me less than $20.
So, what do you think is more risky... apparently incompetent IT management / staff who don't know how to keep things patched (e.g. Equifax, previous government SNAFUs), or the risk of turning over sensitive information to someone else, who one presumes has more expertise in keeping stuff secure.
The latter, because cloud services by definition have a higher attack surface since there are multitudes of clients on the inside, and more people with access to the data. They're also jucier targets for bad actors as hacking cloud infrastructure gives access to all their customers data.
Barring horribly slow refresh rates that can cause eyestrain and headaches, there's really no point refreshing higher than the input frame rate, is there? So lets not be so pedantic when publications cite that a new cable spec can push enough bits to support the display of a certain resolution at a certain refresh rate.
Also as a Canadian, the problem with these "human rights" laws is that they don't get tried in a court, they get heard by a board. I have very real concerns about it, and I can see someone who hasn't taken the law seriously twisting some of these to actually land someone in jail.
The problem is this: Peterson doesn't use someones preferred pronoun, a "Human Rights Board" sides with the special snowflake and fines Peterson. Peterson refuses to pay the fine. Then what? The ultimate consequence is he goes to jail.
It doesn't. UWL Prof had a discussion in class about the situation with UoT Prof Jordan Peterson where special snowflakes wanted to force him to use their chosen pronouns. An equally special snowflake complained to UWL about that talk, saying it made them feel uncomfortable.
Neither of these instances is illegal as far as C16 goes, because there is no discrimination.
AMD has started adding what they call the PSP to their zen core chips. It's apparently an ARM trustzone system. Lots of AMD customers have been asking AMD for a way to disable it since Ryzen launched.
Due to MINIX's presence on every Intel system, the barebones Unix-like OS is the most widely deployed operating system in the world.
Hrmm, so some of these intel systems would have linux on it, and linux would be on some AMD x86 systems, and intel ME isn't on Qualcomm/ARM chips in mobiles that android (linux) runs on, or any of these IoT devices. I'm willing to wager there are more mobile phones in the world than intel ME enabled PCs at this point.
The biggest problem is they wern't actually fighting each other. They wern't actually trying to damage the other guy, and it just felt fake as hell, because it was. One of the highlights was a robot pushing over a stack of cars, or a lighting rig, seriously?
Assuming that mining is not actually harming me or my computer - destroying files, or leaking my information to someone - why should I care?
I suppose it depends on your definition of harm. I submit to you that this is actual theft. They are using your CPU, which directly costs you more money in electricity, cooling, premature replacement costs, and possibly lost productivity, to make them money. All without consent.
Scripting is faster, easier, more repeatable, version control-able, better in virtually every way except perhaps during discovery, when you don't know what you are doing and click around blindly or follow a wizard.
Here's the problem I see with it. Pretty much every server I build or maintain is different enough that scripts would have to be constantly changed and be more often than not one offs, in which it would take less time to perform the changes necessary than to modify the scripts.
I work in almost exclusively domain environments where if you have a bunch of systems that need the same settings group policy makes more sense than scripts as it's enforceable after the fact.
What conversation? I keep asking questions, and you keep replying with nonsensical drivel trying to look superior without saying anything at all.
Can you answer the question about what scripted automation Windows system administrators need to be doing that can't be done via GUI tools, or do you just want to be vapid and posture?
Windows and Linux systems are cheap solutions, and should be viewed as such.
No. Each solution should be viewed on it's merits, price tag is not an ipso facto determination of it's reliability or worth. If it was, prices would never come down.
Because that would be what separates a professional systems engineer/administrator from a monkey pressing buttons.
Hrm, I see. So instead of being a monkey pressing mostly mouse buttons with a GUI, you would prefer that I be a monkey pressing mostly keyboard buttons at a CLI? I fail to see why one monkey is more worthy than another. The value of both monkeys is knowing what buttons to push and when. Is it because the monkey at the CLI has to press more buttons?
If you aren't doing any kind of scripting and automation, then your job can probably be done for $10/hour by someone with very little training, education, or experience.
Heh, if only that were the case. Can you give me examples of scripts and automation that I, as a Windows system administrator should be doing that can't be done with any of the GUI tools? Please just a few examples so this lowly mouse button pressing monkey may learn about all of this automateable work that isn't getting done that desperately needs to.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against automation, I just truly do not see where learning to script in order to do it is necessary at this point.
Did you really reply twice to the same comment and put different views in each? What was the point of this comment anyways? It' doesn't add anything to the discussion. It doesn't confirm or refute the point I was making that really old reports of software failures are useless. Was it just a vehicle so you could waive a hipster epeen around by name dropping an expensive and niche system?

Making a false 911 call is a crime. Why is Apple not getting fined for each and every one of these calls? If Joe Blow did this, he'd be going to jail.
Last time I installed Tumbleweed (about 4 months ago?) in a VMware Workstation VM, the keyboard didn't even work....
I didn't say feed, I said webcast. Usually they'll stick around to tell you the status of the landing attempt. This time they said "We're just listening now to.. oh, we'll update our twitter and website. Goodbye!"
It was pretty obvious when they killed the webcast so quickly.

I use voip.ms. They're awesome for voice, but if you're a texter then you may want to look at other alternatives.

You going to start throwing out the Constitution now because it's too old?
