Classic Liberal, yes.

I’m so old that when I started there wasn’t any choice. It was command line or go outside!

You are not spending tens of millions annually and thus Microsoft doesn’t give a shit about you. They literally would not piss on you if you were on fire.

I dunno, at least some of planned datacenters ARE doing that. For example an absolutely ENORMOUS Solar Farm is being built in Cheyenne, Wyoming for another Microsoft DC. For a previous MS DC a big ass wind farm was built. Meta is building a fuck you sized DC in Cheyenne and recently inked a deal with Terrapower for a natrium powered reactor.

I dislike having to defend these assholes but the Green Energy thing has been done, is being done, and they have definite plans to do more of it.

I’m cautiously optimistic. This looks like a reasonable use of tech that doesn’t seem to have so many of the spyware elements that other glasses (like Meta) have. There’s no external camera, no screens (only lenses), and no mention needing an app or internet connection.

As someone in their target demographic I’m interested to find out what is actually released and would consider purchasing a pair.

Motors used to be BOLTED together, now they are GLUED together.

50 years ago you were working on brushed motors with relatively sloppy tolerances, less torque, and more electrical consumption. Today’s brushless motors are faster, stronger, lighter, more efficient, and designed to higher tolerances.

It used to take me a half hour to change the clutch slave cylinder on my truck. Now (newer truck) I have to PULL the transmission to do that.

Very few vehicles in the U.S. have a manual transmission and the prevalence of them is decreasing quickly in all western countries. No matter how much we may prefer manuals it’s inarguable that modern automatics get better fuel economy, are easier to operate and are often stronger than their manual equivalent.

My point here is that often the same advances that make things better make them more difficult to service.

I actually don’t know. I’ll have to try it.

Iran’s very real problems are because of America’s economic warfare

American sanctions have nothing to do with Iran’s very real lack of water. They did that to themselves with their unbridled and ignorant dam building.

Specific to economic warfare Iran has trade relationships with both China and Russia. They have the ability to trade they are just absolute dogshit at managing their economy.

Way to ignore the very real problems of the Iranian people by employing Ad hominem against the news source. Great job!

Just need a way to admin Active Directory from Linux and I’m set…

What’s wrong with Active Directory Web Services? It’s installed on every DC by default since WS2008R2.

You could also install PowerShell on your Penguin box and do tasks via command line.

If killing is what the U.S. wanted then Maduro would have been dead months ago. It would have been easily accomplished, cost far less money, and resulted in far less backlash.

She’s in no danger of getting whacked by the US; she’d either be Maduro’d or pushed from office.

Installing Collabra Office on a Windows PC requires the use of the Microsoft Store. Ick.

It’s been that way for a year now.

It’s been that way for a year now.

IIRC this happened in January of 2025. The rebrand obviously failed because I don’t know a single person who calls it anything other than “Office” or “Microsoft Office”.

To the surprise of no one.

Maybe the marketing language is technically deficient but the result of the technology speaks for itself; devices keep getting faster AND more power efficient.

Meanwhile it’s so damn hard to do that there’s only one company making the machines that can pull it off and only one company that can successfully execute the process.

This stuff is ultra pimpin no matter what the marketing department calls it.

The nation of Iran will go through a period of adjustment and then be fine. The government is a different matter.

I’ve been strongly considering adding a whole home humidifier and after watching I’m going to buy an Aprilaire 700 like his and do the same upgrade to it!

You think he’s the only one? Not a chance…
