Sick of microsofts shit (popups, AI, random unknown settings changes that i dont notice until its too late and shit is broken) and i wanted to learn Linux and get some home server experience.

It runs an HDMI cable to a TV instead of relying on a crappy abandonware TV OS.

I mean… that worked fine for teenage me with a DSI.

Oof, yeah, sharepoint is horrible

Active Directory is a hell of a drug, as is Group Policy

That and i hear macbook battery life is absolute black magic fuckery

I’ve got a Latitude XT2. some of the plastic bits aged badly and developed a sort of weird film, including the charger brick; if you’ve had the same problem, I scrubbed the hell out of those specific parts with goo-gone and a microfiber cloth and its smooth and shiny again.

They could also deliberately go out of their way to make it worse.

Okay, that’s pretty sweet. Imma have to look into that, i know a guy who just retired a home server with like 10+ old HDDs

Don’t really need to send a tech immediately. More efficient to get a gas station clerk (or whoever works where the ATM may be located) to verify nobody is trying to fuck with it on-site and they didn’t lose power/internet at their location, before escalation.

Disney before Frozen came out.

IT certification training videos.

The people technologically competent enough to pull it off are usually not stupid enough to want to pull it off and make their lives harder.

Brain the size of a planet and unintelligible grumbling

My popcorn was enjoyable. I mixed in some cheez its.

No hate like christian love.

For decent, church-going women

With their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces

Thanx but No Thanx - Ministry

Tbh, its only a matter of time before the entire organization gets doxxed and the internet does what it does.

I look forward to eating popcorn when it happens.

Last i read, cameras in london outnumbered those in Beijing, so im not sure id even put them second place

The general apathy and disdain for noncomformity (the hatred protestors get is absurd) really does let their government stomp all over them. IIRC BBC goes out of their way to not cover protests in their own back yard, or anything that may be critical of the crown

They are well known for being just about the worst ISP imaginable. Not just for crappy network speeds in both ways, but actively hostile to the customer.
