It's subpoenable information. Absolutely no one is addressing that aspect.

I've done quite a bit of work in IT within the sphere of investigative law enforcement and this sets off major alarm bells to me.

Which is why my post is worded the way it is. And the being wrong and then being a child about it when you're called out is appalling.

Well driven by my 30 years in the industry, 25 of which I've been using Windows/MS software, I'm going to take that with some salt. If my laptop can't avoid having an existential crisis when my default browser is not Edge I'm going to throw shade and cast doubt about a feature no one is asking for being foisted upon us that can have what appears to be very serious repercussions.

I've been using Copilot for the last 3 months or so on my Android phone. Absolutely blows Google away, even before the Google AI debacle. I have never ever failed to get what I was looking for, even if I don't exactly know what it is I am looking for, usually within 2-3 queries.

Google Response - FUCK YOU BUY SOMETHING FUCK YOU BUY SOMETHING FUCK YOU BUY SOMETHING FUCK YOU BUY SOMETHING FUCK YOU BUY SOMETHING and here is a Quora article from 12 years ago that was never properly answered, and it's got nothing to do with the search anyhow AND entire threads from Reddit where the answer is Install Arch.

And I abbore giving Microsoft credit even when they have earned it, and I'm here to say I fucking love Copilot. GitHub & Copilot is also something that just fucking works as well.

Fuuuuuuck no Google, your time has passed.

I've only had that happen a couple of times. Most of the time I am looking for coding examples, white papers, RFCs, CVEs or some kind of boating bullshit. And I also never ever copy pasta off a LLM, only on actual sites / pages, for exactly the reasons you give. Everyday a screenshot of some ding-a-ling who just blindly C+P on a publication is being made fun of.

When life hands you lemons you don't make lemonade, you eat them whole, skins, seeds, pith, and all, the entire time staring life dead straight in the eyes.

If you show life you're done fucking around, life stops handing you lemons.

If you haven't tried Nutanix, you really really should. I'm a six year veteran and there is absolutely no way I would ever bare metal again with VMWare in spaces I didn't have to, and that's Prior to the Broadcom buyout.

Download The Nutanix Bible and start reading.

[edit] And I'll add that their support team is mother fucking second to NONE. Every ITS team should take lessons from them.

That's a very broad question. I can say by switching I saved the firm $60,000 the 1st year out of the gate. This included purchasing the Nutanix hardware as well, to run what was at the time, a six node cluster, replacing a 6 node VMW setup (on premise).

After the 1st year we replaced the VMW setups at the remote office and the COLO. It was a no brainer. That was also close to $60k each site as well, though we had other cost considerations.

You will spend more money for competent Administration over a VMW farm in the short run unless you/your team are *nix capable. If you are a *n
ix/CLI house, you're going to absolutely wet your pants with joy, possible #2 as well.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

Xitter (and all of Musk's endeavors) are like purchasing a home in an HOA.

You were told not to.
A cursory internet search would have confirmed it.
Or you are fucking stupid.

You get what you deserve ..... Fuck off.

I don't know a single person who would ever consider owning an HOA home, even the investors. I know two who have owned an HOA home, both sold them. No I'm speaking of HOAs.

Are Timeshares still a thing? (Googling) .... Man I would have thought that they would have died out by now. Nope

Your last sentence sums it up perfectly. Conform to social norms or suffer. No thank you. People who trade freedom for security have neither and deserve neither.

I hope your properties do well and your roof(s) last 10 years over estimates.

I've been living off-grid fulltime for 6 years now and that answer is completely and thoroughly wrong. Not just wrong but completely missing the fact you'll need at a minimum a 2000w inverter.

You'll get 2 hours of usage AT BEST from a car battery, and if it's lead acid, Gel or AGM chances are you will irreversibly damage (even if just slightly) the battery if you let it run until dead dead.

LifePo4 FTW!

Easy big fella. I over generalized and I've been on the internet long enough to know that a fully contextualize and source siting answer is always called for. Also you're explaining this to a guy who lives off of 400ah on a 29ft sailboat and hasn't been to a dock or a slip in 5 years. I get it.

Only visit land by dinghy and her hull is lovely. Easy to clean, you just dive it every 4-8 weeks depending on where you're at and how bad the 5 o'clock shadow is.

Broadcom-owned VMware kills the free version of ESXi virtualization software (arstechnica.com)

Since Broadcom's $61 billion acquisition of VMware closed in November 2023, Broadcom has been charging ahead with major changes to the company's personnel and products. In December, Broadcom began laying off thousands of employees and stopped selling perpetually licensed versions of VMware products, pushing its customers toward...

Try Nutanix AHV community edition

Now I'll grant you bringing up/down clusters & farms can be a bit fiddly for you Windows folks, but for the Linux folks Nutanix is like discovering a new favorite food.

@nobleshift@lemmy.world avatar

It has about a handful of extra steps, that you really need to get correct, especially if you have AHV clustered with MS clusters running on top of it.
