For example, don’t ever say you use Windows here lest a whole horde of people jump in to call you an idiot for not having switched to Linux
Just copy Linux Mint onto an USB stick. No need to boot it, you hang it around your neck like a cross, and display it to raging pinguinoids to pacify them.
Because the communism is a convenient ideology for totalitarian states to exploit and control the population.
It’s exactly like the middle-ages Christianity, with the Bible promoting humanitarian ideology, and the church exploiting the hell out of the population.
That’s also why communists banned all religions, they don’t want any competition.
I have some apps which I need them to synchronize in the background but they don’t, even with battery optimization turned off. I’ve tried using an app called PhoneProfilesPlus but I don’t need whole profiles, I just want an app to be opened and that’s it....
Laptop has keyboard, you can type your password with the same speed as pressing your finger and waiting for it to unlock.
Most casual users won’t even know that their laptop has a fingerprint sensor.
When a company needs a proper security, they buy every user a hardware token like Yubikey.
But most of all, it comes down to the tradition. Manufacturers won’t add fingerprint scanner because users do not demand firgerprint scanner. Users do not demand fingerprint scanner because they are used to have no fingerprint scanner. Try removing a fingerprint scanner from a phone, you’ll see your sales drop like a brick.
My home provider had IPv6 for like two years, after I specifically opened a support ticket for it. Now it’s broken and they won’t bother to fix it, because no one else asks them.
I don’t entirely subscribe to the first paragraph – I’ve never worked at a place so dear to me that spurred me to spend time thinking about its architecture (beyond the usual rants). Other than that, spot on
I believe the author got the wrong job position. If your job title is something like ‘software developer’, yeah you are measured by the amount of lines of code. You should aim for a senior role such as ‘system architect’ or ‘technical lead’, then you have some kind of guidelines from the sales side of business, and your job is to turn them into requirements and produce the final product, and you choose the tech stack and other details that are inconsequential for sales bug will get the programmers flinging keyboards.
That’s exactly the difference. The business needs to sell shit, so your management needs you to get the shit done, just good enough quality to sell it, because otherwise you’re burning them money in salary.
Take any of your hobby projects, and ask yourself - ‘How do I sell this thing?’. You’ll arrive at all the same problems you are seeing in your company. Good managers will explain this and let developers make their own decisions and take part in business processes, bad managers will just dictate which buttons you need to press on your keyboard.
Lines of code is a really ancient metric for managers who are totally ignorant of technology, I was just putting it here for emphasis.
Once the government switched to Linux en-masse, Microsoft will have no leverage whatsoever, no solution they can possibly propose will beat free software.
LibreOffice is totally adequate for most government jobs.
Ukraine’s military says its forces have destroyed a Tu-22M3 strategic bomber used to attack Ukrainian cities. This comes as Russian missile strikes in the Dnipropetrovsk region are reported to have killed eight people....
That’s not very accurate representation of a bomber in the picture.
Bombers don’t fly over your head and spray mini bombs like that. They lob the 500 kg bomb from 50 km away and skedaddle, and the bomb glides the rest of the way using folding wings.

Is there an app to open others apps in the background without user interaction?

All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why?
All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Is it because of security concerns or spacing reasons?

There's no place like `[::1]`
I bet all those people that got tattoos of “There’s no place like 127.0.0.1” are so embarrassed now that IPv6 has been adopted globally.
What is the next big thing in VR?
We have some new headsets on the horizon. I’m curious what direction people are hoping it goes in besides just overall improvement.
