Winget is still playing catch-up in my experience. Microsoft’s own office365 winget package is broken constantly.

The fact that industrial and commercial use pays lower rates than people trying to live their lives and heat their home is such bullshit.

Seeing how much they’ve advanced over recent years I can’t imagine whatever that guy was working on would actually impress anyone today.

I just set up a rule on my firewall to disallow outgoing web traffic from my TV so I can still control it over the wifi. Then if I want to sell it I haven’t broken any functionality.

I assume it’s because they are using performance capture for all the facial animations.

You can do anything…

I played the demo and it was pretty fun. I’ll have to check this out.

This used to work for me but unfortunately at least two places I haven’t been able to figure out any button combination that mutes them which has been infuriating.

The gas pumps that blast ads at you are driving me insane. All of the places in between my house and my work have them now.

What do you mean by ‘desyncing’ issues. I use Syncthing very heavily across my servers and workstations and I don’t have any trouble. I run my own Syncthing relay server for NAT traversal.

Oof. Yeah when storing encryption keys for backup media it’s also important to remember to store the key in a place that is accessible when your services are down (like they could be at the time you’re needing to restore a backup).

I’ve definitely screwed up and realized that a key I needed was stored in a credential database that was stored on the encrypted backup I was trying to restore. I was able to access another copy but it slowed me down.

At least on Android, spoofing GPS location is trivial (not that workarounds like this should be necessary).

Maybe that’s where people are who need the information the most?

Businesses are happy to have their employees be more productive without having to pay for expensive new licenses… But eventually they’re going to find out that letting all your employees share swaths of private data with random websites is not a great idea.

This exactly. I’d use rsync to sync a directory to a location to then be backed up by kopia, but I wouldn’t use rsync exclusively for backups.

I get a lot of second hand embarrassment so shows with a lot of audience interaction sometimes make me uncomfortable but Crowd Control has been pretty good. More than anything it just makes me wish they had a live audience for more shows since it really energizes the guests.

Ah yes… Pre-crime… Just like all those utopian sci-fi novels.

People are already suggesting this unironically.

They are. Lots of motherboards still include these. There are a lot of special PS/2 input devices that are still around in business/industrial settings and gamers sometimes need them for use with flight sticks, steering wheels, mechanical keyboards etc.

Usually it’s a combo port now instead of a separate port for keyboard/mouse.

People just going about their business living their lives as they have for many years…

Silicon Valley: Hey fuck you. Also I came up with a dumb nickname for you.
