Just think about all the people that would still be alive in the past year if not for 1 persons actions.

Not going to lie, this one hurts… seeing first hand how people at the top control the narrative is infuriating.

Thanks! That makes sense. Although it’s not really others if you ask me, its themselves. I’m sure they would argue otherwise. No accountability and it’s only getting worse.

If they are being stored on his servers then he absolutely should be, and whoever else is in charge of that company. If that was found on any regular persons pc it would be over, so why not here.

I have tried out a bunch of Linux ones last year and I will be converting over my main PC at some point this year due to all the things they have done or want to do with Windows 11. I agree it’s very hard to ignore.

Oh I know, I work in the industry as well. Our company backups alone for workstations and servers is just under 1 petabyte. This is then replicated to an offsite location which is also out disaster recovery location, and also stored in long term storage in Azure. This is just backups, sooo much money for backups haha. Thats why I am shocked that this entire company can run off of 300tb which is a lot, but nothing when you think of it being the entire business model for them.

I think the craziest thing ive seen is we have these instruments that do genome testing and sequencing and they would create like 10tb worth of data per month. Every month they got there own 10tb drive handed to them to backup their stuff on there own on top of the ones we did for them.

300tb is a lot, but its kind of crazy to think this entire company only needs 300tb storage arrays to function. I wonder how they handle things internally. I would imagine at least 1 backup server ready to go in HA. I wonder if they have multiple regions across the country that also serves up the same setup.

Im stuck with an all electric house… to expensive just to live and it has left me with no money to upgrade to cheaper options like heat pumps and solar. My monthly equal payment plan is currently $850 a month. This is with me keeping my house cold during winter where its set to 64 on average. At night I drop it to 58. Maybe one day ill be able to afford it to break this shitty cycle.

Never used cli to install windows in the 25 years I have been dealing with it. I have used dism to remove as much unnecessary crap as I can before installing it though. It only half works anyway since the next feature release reinstalls most of what you remove anyway. These days I just use Rufus to make a bookable USB since it will remove all the requirements and other things by just checking them off as options. GUI is fine after that.

By far i feel like in the last week I have seen way more of these busted attempts than any previous year. It’s kind of disturbing… you hope they got them all but the more there are the more I feel like theres probably another group that can slip by. Here is hoping I am wrong. Stay safe everyone.

Thanks for the suggestion. Says on it’s site summer 2026 is target for release. Still a while away, I wonder how long we have with Firefox before this takes over…

That would be extremely shocking since they are almost always the top rated brand when looking at those products. I would imagine they probably hold a top spot in sales for thst hardware?

I am pretty sure windows 7 got 1 last patch a while after it stopped just because of how bad the vulnerability was. It could happen, but it will take a lot.

Same! Except I use windows and they have a small app that you can install and run in the background which will update the IP if needed.

I also used duckdns for years before moving to this and I never had any issues using that either. It was the same thing, small app that ran on your machine and you needed the token and it just worked.

I remember going through tech school 20 years ago and them telling you you need a crossover cable with you at all times for just this type of situation. I think in the 20 years I have used one once.

Not everyone has an “adult” sized dick. Also not everyone watching is male.

When I went on vaca a few months ago I was caught off guard with this. Kind of crazy that this is going to be everywhere probably… I will never give them this info, there are always alternatives. I just used VPN that week which worked fine.

Wish them luck, but I honestly feel like this should be more about preserving a dying language over saving it. From the numbers provided in the article I would highly doubt this can save it. It can definitely draw attention and allow it to be preserved a lot easier though, which will help it be recognized easier in the future.

I think a bunch still do. I don’t have it because I just purchased the phone with no cell plan. I just use wifi and if I go out I use my work phone Hotspot to provide wifi to my personal. I use Google voice so I have a number and some of those chat apps that my friends use to keep in touch. Im in my 40’s and have never had a cell phone bill still. Outside leaving the house, I honestly cant believe people are paying $60-$100+ dollars a month when you can get everything it does these days off wifi. For the minor inconvenience ive ran into sometimes I still think it’s worth it for the price.

As someone who only uses a phone without a SIM card this would suck for me.
