I hate myself for buying a John Deere tractor, but it was up to $5000 less than any comparable competitor at the time, included a 5 year service contract, and was 0.9% financing.

I’m in a better place financially now, so when I can and need to, I’m absolutely getting something different.

There exist plenty of services on school campuses that send passwords in plaintext. There are services outside of school campuses that do, too. Hell, I’ve been able to bypass 2FA checks by just navigating around them, I don’t know what else to tell you, not everything out there uses the best security practices, so don’t assume that they do.

I mean, yes, I’m in my 40s, but it’s just as effective today.

I’m not even an expert in this stuff, but with a tool I found online I demonstrated that it was easy to snoop people’s passwords on my school’s wifi networks back in the day. It took minutes.

Well that’s disconcerting.

There’s no failsafe? Jesus.

Seems right. I have a friend who works for Amazon and lives in Portland, OR. They’re asking them to relocate to Seattle to RTO. Now they’re debating if they even want to stay at the company. Supposedly they have until EOY to decide.

I agree this is amazing and huge, but for my own sanity, what stops someone from engineering cells that do bad?

I get that, FancyZones let’s you use keyboard shortcuts to move windows into custom configured zones. Typically I split my screen into a 2 up on the left, single in the middle, and 2 up on the right and I can move apps into those zones with just the arrow keys.

The annoying part of any current Linux solution for me is I have to use the mouse and resize a window and move it into what would normally be a zone. I’d prefer to be able to never use a mouse and be able to move a window with shortcut keys into a predefined zone and size.

I’ll check it out, thanks! Hadn’t seen that one in my searches.

Sweet, I’ll take a look.

I’ll check it out! Thank you.

Any recommendations on a window manager in Linux that behaves the same as FancyZones in Windows?

It’s like…the one thing (other than visual studio and teams) that I can’t seem to find a solid alternative for. I’ve tried a number of things I found online but they aren’t the same, they’re more like tiling systems.

I agree.

I also wish Deloitte would stop winning contracts to build their shitty, cobbled together tech solutions for pennies (to the contractors) on the dollar. Their track record for such activity is actually kinda garbage in the industry.

Any good books or other articles on this? I’d be legitimately interested.

The more money I make or the better off I am, I actually just end up feeling more guilty and giving more away. Frankly, one only needs so much, after that if you can improve the quality of life of those around you it makes everything better.

He has no idea what anything is like.

Call me crazy, but I loved mine (near the end). No crease, could still multitask fine. The fact it folded shut kept me from opening and doom scrolling as much. Could throw a video on one screen and “tent” the phone easily.

But yeah, the software took awhile to get even “okay” out the gate and that really hurt the user experience. I felt I was always wrestling with mine over something for the first 6mos even.

Seems weird…but I have totally done two different job interviews where nobody has their camera on.

Oh, wow.

But it sounds like this added files / drivers or something, not just antivirus rules?
