Probably wasn’t even IT but ‘roadies’ based on those cables

Here’s a little FYI for ya. Tropic Thunder is based on my experiences in Vietnam.

Helluva presumption to just pull out of your ass about someone whose only relation to this matter is family name.

Who needs defense in depth, right?

For the company, and no one should ever assume for a moment that everyone has their guard up at all times and is infallible.

I mean they’re not wrong, BYOD is an absolutely ginormous attack vector.

Why would absolutely anyone on this sub install Home? Microsoft themselves make a multi-edition .iso available on their website. And funnily enough now, Microsoft supports the hosting of massgravel. Should it take as many steps as it does two make a local account? No, but it’s literally two extra clicks.

Very much doesn’t my guy.

Maybe if they were trying to sell Erector Sets.

Lmao isn’t professional when having a work conversation with your boss but lol definitely is, so it’s clearly superior lol

This sounds like it was written by a dog.

Loved his book Ghost in the Wires. Sad day in the computing world.

In a pair of daisy dukes with a cowboy hat on?

You don’t. You’re highly likely going to go through some big psychological changes as you age that will probably cause perspective shifts about just who you are and what you want. And that’s biological. You’re going to experience other things that aren’t biological products that cause perspective shifts. You at 18 and you at 35 should be two fairly different people.

Hopefully you can find something that you continue to enjoy throughout life. If not it’s really not a big deal. Do what you have to, take opportunities given to you as they arise and you’ll probably end up somewhere you never expected. Work is work is work. Even if you love the field you can still hate work. It’s easier to make a change in career than to pigeonhole yourself into something that presents no way to diversify.

Local storage is great for you.

It’s absolutely fucking terrible for end users that you have to support.

Between Minisforum and Beelink putting out NUC-likes with AMD, Intel just can’t compete. I’m biased in favor of team red to begin with, but you just cannot tell me an Intel NUC provides better per dollar value than the above’s offerings. I’ve used NUCs, I like NUCs, but why pay more for less when there exist alternatives?

You can “rah rah” about exclusivity all day long. What needs to be acknowledged is how huge this is in terms of developers under one company. As far as I can think of, there’s never been anything like it. I don’t think it’s gonna be for the better, I mean this is the same company responsible for this

You’re very familiar with that, huh?

I mean that’s kind of a given if you’re at all familiar with IT. Check out the ANT Catalog and see what they were capable of in 2008-09. It’s scary now, let alone then. Check out EternalBlue and realize when combined with IrateMonk (a damn firmware hack) they could have any system they wanted. I mean the ANT Catalog is chock full of devices specifically designed to get through air gapped networks. And this was in 2009!

If the NSA or CIA want your digital lunch it’s been on their plate the moment they decided.

You’re exactly right. It’s not that I don’t want it to work, I would love for it to. But what you’re suggesting isn’t new. They’ve done it before and they’ll do it again.
