Agreed. Probably the only One of the good thing about the win98 BSOD is that it crashed/froze along with the computer, and the PC required a hard reboot. Yeah, I know, not intentional, but it allowed me to fully read the message.

Edit: crossout

This looks EXACTLY as I imagined!

A QR code created from the actual fault text would be super helpful. That way we can scan it and get the full error message (details and all) on another device without having to snap a picture or something. But not like windows does it, where it’s a link to a defunct page. I’m taking about the actual text transcoded into a QR code.

That’s enough to share with the class! I mean, if you’re going to bring it to school, you have to bring enough to share. Those are the rules of schools.

You’ve done your part.

Now send an email that states that you understand that he doesn’t want to upgrade computer with asset tag X out of Windows 7, despite the security concerns and crashes, and if this changes, you have a windows 10 desktop ready to deploy when/if the time comes, then thank him for his time.

Edit: oh, and file this email (and any responses) in an easy to find place, just in case.

E2: also, windows 10 is EOL soon, so you may want to upgrade the new one to 11 if the software works with 11. And make dang sure the software works. The vendor’s word might be misguided. It doesn’t work, until you verify it works.

129 MB for a keyboard? Why?

Maybe it was the lack of metadata? I’m not sure, it’s been a while since I used it last. I’ll try to spin it up again and see how it does for my usecase now. I really only used it for file storage.

Oh, no, I agree with you. But google doesn’t care.

No, you cannot, because you’re the one who chose to disable the adblockers that NIST and/or CISA (can’t remember if it’s both entities) highly encourage everyone to use.

E: I reread it, and it sounds I’m being mean. I was, in fact, being facetious. I’m on the same mindset as you, and I will sooner not use YouTube than disable antiadware protection.

Not just you. It didn’t make sense to me either, which is why it struck me as odd, and why I kept a separate backup. This was a long while ago, so things, it seems, have changed (unsurprisingly with NC, for the better).

Question on NC. The last time I used it, it stored all files in a db (sql of choice). Is it still doing that? Or are they in a folder structure now? I had an issue where the db file got corrupted, and I lost everything. I had a folder structure backup, because I didn’t trust sql for file storage, but it’s the reason I haven’t gone back to NC.

You can’t post that. Racism at work is illegal.

What happens if we’re racist at work?

You get fined.

So, legal, but just not for free.

That’s what I also understood. It’s just an odd, almost incorrect, phrasing. Unless our understanding is wrong, and they actually mean that they won’t follow the local laws if said laws require them to violate privacy.

I’m not a fan of automated data collection, regardless of the reason. I see the merit, though, but I won’t allow it. The post is very clear about the preserved anonymity of the collected data, which is good, and on how to easily opt out, which is great.

This statement, however, was a bit strange. Almost like they are being flippant on local laws. Since I know this isn’t the case here, they should have phrased it different. (Emphasis mine)

Your search activities are handled with the same level of confidentiality as all other data regardless of any local laws surrounding certain health services.

TIL about CachyOS. Thanks!

Flip phone and a palm pilot haha

If this was caused by actual inflation, Target wouldn’t be able to just lower prices on 5,000 items just because we’re struggling to survive. This isn’t inflation. This is unchecked capitalist greed.

Edit. Fix autocorrect.

Neat! Thanks for the info. I should have learned more about that state while working at the previous employer, but oh well. It didn’t really seem pertinent then. I guess it’s never too late.
