If some nefarious actor wants to target me and steal my work laptop out of the work bag with the work logo on it, 🤷. I just work there, bro. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Behold, the bong of Kahless. It is a good day to get high.

Continue the thought to its natural conclusion: That was back before degrees were financed with tax payer money… which allowed people to fall into indentured servitude with debilitating repayment schemes that most will carry until they die. Pros: Someone way smarter than you is making your coffee, waiting on you, driving you around, and delivering your packages. Cons: Society doesn’t actually get to benefit from the advanced degree it fronted the money for.

Weird the graphic doesn’t include the literal felony convictions. Asshole belongs in prison.

Man, y’all are the craziest bunch on Lemmy. Some real fire memery here in TenForward.

We had two time travelers try to save the future before the election. I am not terribly confident the future resistance can muster the resources to send a third.

“What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.”

Step 6: We feed the billionaires to the wood chipper and have French Revolution: American-style.

Even these boxes will allow a serial connection. You can just open a tty and you can treat it just like a PC… if you’re comfortable on the command line.

Anything can be a server really, including your toaster: https://laughingsquid.com/netbsd-toaster/

But typically, servers are built with more performant and reliable hardware in mind. The kinds of servers your PC or phone talk to when checking your email or watching a video are rack mounted and basically look like a pizza box

And a rack can have dozens of these stack on top of one another, and a data center can have hundreds or thousands of racks.

But nothing is stopping you from treating your home PC as a server. The software is the same since the same kinds of chips are in both your PC and the rackmount servers (generally). Running Linux on your desktop/laptop can allow you to do normal computer stuff, AND also share files, host a personal blog, share a printer, run a bittorrent tracker, or a tor relay, or even your own email. Some of this is even possible in Windows versions that aren’t “Server”.

Or the USDA safe beef program I Can Has Cheeseburger.

Best of luck on your restore-from-back-up test tomorrow! 😉

It was definitely a tongue-in-cheek response to yours. FWIW, I mostly agree with you. I can also see their perspective, a 0.30EUR print + finishing time to clean it up (support removal, solvent vapor bath for smoothing, etc) and put the lenses in, even if they need to do this multiple times a year, still comes out cheaper than buying the frames, even if the quality is suspect. Plus, OP gets to wear their nerd badge with pride.

Personally, I’ve tried replacing EDC items with 3D printed versions and didn’t have much success, but then again, I didn’t invest too much time to rev the STLs I found or design better ones.

It is a mix of ignorance, control, fear, and compliance. In finance in particular, insider threats are a real thing and it leads to the exact kinds of situations you’re describing. The cognitive dissonance of trusting someone enough to pay them a salary and deploy code to production (after peer verification), but not trusting them enough to manually touch a database is real. And it is the result of mitigating company risks, and following laws and regulations. No, it doesn’t make any sense. Yes, it should all be aligned, but you know, humans. All of that said, sometimes people do dumb things unintentionally, and the controls are there to mitigate those instances, too. Ultimately, you just deal with the bullshit because fighting it does no one any good. The powers that be only care about making money. And if you, peon developer, need to jump through a bunch of bullshit hoops in order to do your job, management doesn’t give a shit. That is what they are paying you for, after all.

Luxottica shills are everywhere!

God damn it, that’s the third one this week lost to the sex cult.

If you get a Quest 3, it should play those kinds of games stand alone, no problem. No gaming laptop required. If it is going to be a more graphically intense game, or the games are only on Steam or whatever (so needs Steam Link), you are going to need a gaming laptop with a discrete GPU (released from the last 3-4 years). To do the wireless link, you’ll need a wifi6 capable access point/router, and wifi6 capable chipset in the laptop, or a dongle, or a gigabit ethernet cable from the laptop directly plugged in into the access pointer/router.
