Full disclosure: Haven’t read the article yet.

Working in corporate IT, this most likely is targeted toward enterprise customers who either take a long time to roll out OS upgrades or can’t due to technical limitations within their environment. In those cases, paying the cost of extended support is more palatable to troubleshooting or rushing mass OS upgrades. This is a fairly common practice with enterprise software vendors.

Edit: Okay, just skimmed it. Looks like this is actually a new program for non-enterprise consumers, which is interesting. First I’ve heard of that.

ndguardian,

I watched it all the way through since I’m a Halo fan, but I’ll wait and see what people say about season 2. On its own, season 1 was…fine. I think if they didn’t have any references to Halo and called it something else, basically left it intact but not Halo, people probably would have said it’s okay. Not great, but okay. It definitely doesn’t feel like Halo though, and so much of the show conflicts with established Halo lore.

ndguardian,

Agreed, I think this is what is being suggested.

Flaming poisoning raging sword of doom.

ndguardian,

I am just now starting through Fallout 4. I’ve had it in my library for a while but never got around to it.

ndguardian,

I’m going to say that while everything I’ve read on the matter supports the “it’s one of the more pleasant ways to go” argument, I’d be more interested in reading expert opinions on the matter before coming to a concrete conclusion.

The lawyers on both sides of the case should be consulting with doctors and medical researchers to understand what the experience would consist of, how long it would take, the efficacy, side effects if it fails, etc. This is the information that I think should be the deciding factor for proceeding or not.

I will also say that while oxygen deprivation is quick, it’s not instant. It does take up to a few minutes in some cases before brain death to occur, and something to the order of 30 seconds to a minute for unconsciousness to set in.

My personal opinion based on the information so far, assuming that everything I’ve read is factual, would suggest that of all the execution routes available so far, this one is likely the least awful. I won’t say most humane, as I don’t really believe there is a humane way to approach it. If we do have to use the death penalty though, I think this is the approach I would have the fewest objections to.

ndguardian,

Hmm…interesting. I would have figured it would be more akin mechanically speaking to being suffocated, as those scenarios also deprive the body of oxygen. Maybe the difference is that the action of breathing out and then breathing back in would be expelling any remaining oxygen from the lungs without replacing it with more oxygen?

I am having a hard time following how it renders immediate unconsciousness though, given that one could simply breathe out to empty their lungs and then hold their breath for a short period of time without being rendered unconscious, and in theory that should be comparable. Sounds like I might be missing something key here that likely accounts for the disconnect.

ndguardian,

Yeah…I’ve personally wondered if it might be better to defederate because I’ve noticed most of the spam posts I see tend to come from one specific Kbin instance. If we defederate from it, that reduces that workload, but it would be unfortunate as there is a good amount of content there too.

Note I’m not the only admin on my instance and these are only my personal thoughts. Not an impending action or anything like that. Mentioning in case anyone from our instance wonders.

ndguardian,

My SO just had something similar pop up yesterday. She was running into weird errors on her Chromebook, so I had her change her user agent to Chrome on Windows. Everything magically worked. Hmm…

Out of the blue, seven-year-old FPS Titanfall 2 has fully working multiplayer again (www.pcgamer.com)

Beloved robot friend simulator and first-person shooter Titanfall 2 has had a matchmaking problem for years. Even after its previous server issues were fixed, players would still be disconnected if they had to queue for any length of time. And, given that Titanfall 2 came out in 2016, it's pretty likely you'd be waiting in that...

ndguardian,

Agreed. Titanfall 2’s campaign is tied for the best I’ve ever played for me. I would absolutely recommend playing through it at least once.

ndguardian,

Not lightheadedness, but I get nasty migraines that make it hard to talk in ways that are more than just incoherent babbling.

Duet AI for Google Meet can take notes, summarize, and even attend meetings - The Verge (www.theverge.com)

Another new Meet feature lets Duet “attend” a meeting on your behalf. On a meeting invite, you can click an “attend for me” button, and Google can auto-generate some text about what you might want to discuss. Those notes will be viewable to attendees during the meeting so that they can discuss them.

ndguardian,

Wait. I can automate my meetings too? I dig it.

Given how society responded to covid, do you really want to tempt fate with the T virus?

Amazon CEO reportedly told remote employees: ‘It’s probably not going to work out’ - The Verge (www.theverge.com)

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently told employees that those who do not want to return to the office at least three days a week should consider finding employment elsewhere. According to a recording obtained by Insider, Jassy stated “It’s past the time to disagree and commit,” adding that if employees cannot commit to the new...

ndguardian,

I’m lucky in that my employer went the opposite direction. Downsizing our local office and just letting us all be 100% remote. We’re a geographically distributed group so it doesn’t make sense to enforce office requirements.

ndguardian,

I recognize the irony of this, but sometimes I like to fall asleep to the No Sleep podcast.

ndguardian,

This is why I personally am looking forward to fully self-driving cars. We’re a long way off, but when self-driving cars can completely replace the human element, I think the world will be a much safer place.

ndguardian,

Your partner has an impressive bank account.

ndguardian,

As much as a lot of that hate it warranted, I’d say the install location isn’t so much a Teams issue as it is a Windows issue and how it handles user-level vs system-level installs. Obviously still a Microsoft problem, but important to note.

ndguardian,

Howdy!

First off, phenomenal work on the app so far. I’m absolutely enjoying it. It’s a tossup for me between this and Memmy as being the best Lemmy mobile app.

If I may make a request though, could we get the ability to report posts and comments?

ndguardian,

Is it just me or do crabs always look so dainty when they eat?

ndguardian,

What makes that better is that VS Code is running on Electron, meaning it is running Chromium under the hood. Or at least part of it. Been a while since I read up on it so I can’t remember for certain.

ndguardian,

Nah, Aimovig is the first for me. I literally just requested to up the dose like an hour ago, so assuming that goes through hopefully that will completely knock it out from there. If not, I’ve heard good things about Emgality and another one I’m drawing a blank on the name for, so I can always see about revisiting those if needed.

Good deal that the Emgality is working for you!
