Microsoft will extend support once the deadline is near, for enterprise customers.

Trollception ,

My machine is 7 years old and runs fine on Windows 11. I don't understand all these posts about Windows 11 not being supported. TPMs have been a thing for 10+ years now.

Trollception ,

So it's better to put more lives in danger so that there can be someone to blame?

Trollception ,

True companies do not pay per packet but they do pay for the bandwidth. The more users that use more bandwidth consistently means the ISP needs to invest more money on throughput/links. If you have 100 users and they use 1 mbps on average you can get away with a 100mpbs link. If you have 5 users using 50mpbs on average now you need a gig link. So technically it's not free but yeah bandwidth caps suck big time. My suggestion would be to pick a place to live near a city with a municipal broadband option.

Trollception ,

Because elections are coming up, why else?

Trollception ,

Would you walk out of your 250,000/year software engineer gig over this? Most people won't and don't. Go to work, get paid, and live your life how you want.

Trollception ,

Average total comp for a software engineer at Google. The principals can make close to a million a year total comp

Trollception ,

You do realize humans kill hundreds of other humans a day in cars, right? Is it possible that autonomous vehicles may actually be safer than a human driver?

Trollception ,

Who said there was no safety authority involved? I thought it was part of the 4 level system the government decided on for assisted driving.

Trollception ,

Honestly I'm sure there will be a lot of unfortunate mistakes until computers and self driving systems can be relied upon. However there needs to be an entry point for manufacturers and this is it. Technology will get better over time, it always has. Eventually self driving autos will be the norm.

Trollception ,

To be clear I never said that I didn't care about an individual's safety, you inferred that somehow from my post and quite frankly are quite disrespectful. I simply stated that autonomous vehicles are here to stay and that the technology will improve more with time.

The legal implications of self driving cars are still being determined and as this is literally one of the first approved technologies available. Tesla doesn't count as it's not a SAE level 3 autonomous driving vehicle. There are some references in the liability section of the wiki.

Trollception ,

Who exactly is the target audience for this? Home users running Windows server? This would get flagged for sure in an enterprise environment and no self respecting admin would ever install something like that.

Trollception ,

That is why companies will hire good sys admins who do their job and stay on top of the important group policy settings. This absolutely would not be missed by any reasonably competent IT dept.

Trollception ,

That drive could run another 5 years without any problems.

Trollception ,

I'm running Raid z2;and have considered even z3 which should be plenty of redundancy for older drives. Well that and backing up data to a separate location.

Trollception ,

The Toshiba x300 is a consumer drive, the drive they are offering is an enterprise grade storage drive. I have only bought enterprise or nas speed drives in the past. Consumer drives may not be built to the same standards.

Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads (www.lowpass.cc)

Roku is exploring ways to show consumers ads on its TVs even when they are not using its streaming platform: The company has been looking into injecting ads into the video feeds of third-party devices connected to its TVs, according to a recent patent filing.  ...

A piece of history

Boomer is just a way of calling a person of whom you don't understand their lifestyle

Trollception ,

How can I block Lemmy Linux memes? Is there a way to escape Linux on Lemmy?

Trollception ,

Y'all gimp developers need to grow a pair

Redditors Vent and Complain When People Mock Their "AI Art" (futurism.com)

Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on...

Trollception ,

Something is interfering with your DNS or traffic, loads fine for me.

Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone (lemmy.world)

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they're on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can't be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...

Trollception ,

Pixel 7 Pro reporting in. There is no DeviceLockController on my phone. Just installed the latest monthly updates a couple of days ago.

Trollception ,

This isn't a Google thing. It's not normally installed on your device.

Trollception ,

Probably a carrier thing. I'm on TMobile

Trollception ,

I find it funny how differently Lemmy reacts to something like this vs reddit. The Lemmy community is certainly very different than reddit.

Trollception ,

Sure it may produce a game but much of what makes a game good is making it fun and memorable. If we can eventually create a general AI then absolutely I think such a thing is possible. Otherwise it will be a copypasta mishmash and having a cohesive and fluent design is a huge if.

Trollception ,

Which in turn replaces people. What happens if a person is 50 percent more productive with AI? Is the company going to let them simply have 50% of the workload they would before, or will they lay off the other unneeded employees?

Trollception ,

The system requirements are like any system from the last 6 years. Are people really using computers this old? I hear a bunch of people commenting about businesses but at least at the companies I worked at we never had machines older than 4 years old. Seems kind of overblown.

Oh yea and bring on the down votes. I understand this is Lemmy and anything that challenges the hatred of Windows is met with extreme disagreement.

Trollception ,

Uh I don't have time or wish to subject myself to the frustration that is Linux. I've tried it at least 5 times in the past 10 years and strongly prefer Windows.

Trollception ,

That doesn't compute here. Like I have literally 0 problems with Windows. That's certainly not been my experience with Linux. Oh bought a new drawing tablet, nah that won't work. Oh need to update for firmware on a device, yeah better have windows. Oh you bought a recent printer, better not use Linux.

Trollception ,

My Wacom tablet doesn't work properly, neither does my Canon Pro 1000 printer. I've also had a few issues with my graphics drivers and games.

Trollception ,

And that would be supported on Windows 11. We are talking about PCs without TPM chips which are from 2014.

Trollception ,

It works, just not as well as it does in Windows. Mapping buttons and controls is a pain without the Wacom control panel.

Trollception ,

Yea I'm just about 40 and have no more aches than I did when I was 20. If you are fit and not overweight you likely won't have pains into your 50s.

Trollception ,

Don't be overweight, exercise.

Apple (slrpnk.net)

I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't...

Reddit Is Letting Power Users In on Its IPO. Not Everyone’s Buying (www.wired.com)

Reddit Is Letting Power Users In on Its IPO. Not Everyone’s Buying::Reddit says it wants to reward users by letting them buy into the company’s public listing. Some say it’s too risky—others say they won’t pay a company they’ve already given hours of free labor to.

Trollception ,

The far left view of the community and Linux lovin showing up in nearly all of the threads.

A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock. (www.theverge.com)

A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.

Trollception ,

The ironic thing is that Netflix didn't have family plans.

Trollception ,

When I think of a family plan I think of multiple people having a subscription with a discounted group rate, like with a cell phone carrier. What you describe is no different than a PlayStation having multiple profiles.

Trollception ,

That's like you buying a car and when you try to sell it the next person tells you they won't pay anything for it, in fact they are going to straight up steal it like some criminal.

Trollception ,

Probably because they are far more complicated than a regular car and have expensive batteries with precious metals? Oh and we haven't been mass producing them for 100 years either.

Trollception ,

I think I've seen this somewhere before. Hey it's just like Google from years back. Oh and like OneDrive. Oh yea and YouTube before they started showing ads. It's almost like a good business tactic to get people hooked on a service with free benefits early on only to raise the prices later and reap the rewards.

Trollception ,

Yes but i think reddit is many times more valuable than Lemmy. I just haven't found the same level of very specific subreddits that have lots and lots of activity. Most of the traffic here is memes, politics, news and Linux lovin. On reddit if I needed to find a community about my local town it's no problem and there are tens or hundreds of daily posts. The same community does exist on Lemmy but the last post was 6 months ago.

Trollception ,

It's called a prevailing wage request and one is required before an overseas worker can be considered for a position in the US. Yes this isn't for handouts but for outsourcing work but that does exist in a sense.

Trollception ,

I use Windows because I prefer it over Linux. I mainly play games on my PC and Windows never gives me any issues. I don't need to have any compatibility layers and overall there is no hassle.

Trollception ,

Why is it superior to Li-Ion? Li-Ion has an energy density of up to 180.

Trollception ,

Interesting. The default gitignore in Windows at least for both vscode and visual studio exclude those directories along with obj, bin, etc and a bunch of other non code files.
