It truly baffles me how teachers could morally justify that. I would immediately think “Wait, if I make my students buy my textbook for the unit, I’m just fleecing them and they have no choice in the matter.” and you would naively hope that anyone else would also feel the same way.

Here I was thinking a new revision of Power over Ethernet was announced and I was thoroughly confused

I like that it doesn’t detract from the original mood. I also appreciate the remaster of the washing machine model, it really needed it.

That all being said, it’s also amazing that those 20 year old graphics still don’t look half bad.

For me, my default browser is LibreWolf with several privacy hardening extensions, but if I do come across a website that fails, my usual route goes LibreWolf > Firefox > Ungoogled Chromium

If it doesn’t work beyond that then I just won’t use the website.

I mean that’s a fair assumption of what their ticker might’ve been

This all happened two weeks before I started, so I don’t know the exact details. If it was set up the way I think it was, I’d say yes, the DC was in it’s own VM and then a separate VM would’ve been used as a NAS. Of course being hardware RAID the whole host server went down when that card failed.

They probably didn’t have a second DC set up due to the DEFCON 5 levels of “We can’t work!”

They were ultimately planning on going to the cloud anyway from what I heard and that catastrophe just accelerated that plan ahead

I got a server from ewaste because the RAID card did fail and having SAS drives they couldn’t even pull data from it with anything else. It was the domain controller and NAS so as you can imagine, very disruptive to the business. As they should they had an offsite backup of the system and so we just restored onto a gaming PC as a temporary solution until we moved them to M365 instead.

I just use software RAID on it now and so far so good for about 180 days.

I have email addresses under Outlook (old personal account), Gmail (study provided email), Exchange (work) and Proton (main personal account). I also actively use the calendar feature in my client, which is sync’d up to my Nextcloud instance.

Just having it all under Thunderbird is so convenient and it feels more private. It’s also an entirely consistent UI between accounts

Short answer: GeyserMC sidesteps that player authentication process Java players need to do

Long answer:

I’ve used and set up GeyserMC before. It sounds like the server you’re joining has online-mode on, which requires all Java players who are joining to have a valid Java account and current authentication.

GeyserMC, being a mod to the server, entirely sidesteps this entire process. Your Bedrock cracked client requests to join and GeyserMC, being the way your client communicates with the server, just let’s you in. It just sends your client the chunks, the entities, etc. and lets you interact with them, and Java players are shown an additional Player entity (being you).

GeyserMC actually has authentication a server owner can set up that does require a valid Bedrock account or valid Java account, but it seems the server(s) you’re playing hasn’t set this up.

Should be the same link without the tracking

The question is so generic and open ended it’s not a surprise. The only filter on this is “runs well on ThinkPad” and “lightweight”, which are both up to interpretation

Can completely agree with the LMDE 6 recommendation

I decided on the basis of making my hardware last as long as I can, I chucked an i7-2760QM into my Latitude E6420 and 16GB DDR3 memory, shit actually runs flawlessly with LMDE. It even was able to run Windows Server 2022 in a VM while having me screen share said VM for an assignment I had.

Oh, was this why DuckDuckGo was down yesterday?

I think that’s a Hermitcraft reference, and I did not expect to see that on Lemmy of all places.

If you look up Hermitcraft S6 rap battle I think there’s a segment where Xisumavoid (sometimes called X) raps that

Edit: Jesus Christ this is embarrassing

For the phone bit, I started off with really old smartphones like a Galaxy S1, but basically any old old phones are really built like mini laptops and are usually pretty modular as they weren’t often water resistant or actively anti-repair

However I fully get your point and fall into the same boat with cars

I’m not a big Twitter user to begin with, so I assumed based on the title that it was going to be similar to YouTube disabling the dislike counter.

This is making the list of posts you’ve “Liked” private. Saved you a click.

Personally I’d like this to be a toggleable feature like Reddit has (had?), but otherwise, yeah seems like an obtuse change, I don’t understand the why behind it.

I’ve had experience with the older Toughbook CF-18’s and Linux (specifically Xubuntu actually), in my case mine worked out of box, but I had the digitizer option.

Could you give us the output of the lspci and lsusb commands, to see if it’s being detected?

There is also Synaptic which is a graphical front-end for apt, although I would definitely class it as less user friendly than Discover and the like.

I know if I was doing some Linux challenge with no terminal it would have to be my crutch.

Edit: Arch Linux has pamac which I used more frequently than the terminal back then.

If so, they’re pretty good at covering it up. You can usually tell Electron apps from how they behave (mousing over any clickable UI elements turns into a hand on Electron but native apps usually don’t, etc.) but I’ve always thought that Office apps, including the latest, are native.

Its pretty clear that old Outlook is native and the new Outlook is Electron just based on how it feels.

Not OP, but I’m aware of it just from seeing it mentioned in threads like this. There might be a community or list available showing all these cool things but a lot of the time it just goes around by word-of-mouth.
