I hate the fact that if you want to change the case on a file in windows, you can’t just replace the offending letter. You have to change the name completely, then change it back with the correct casing. Then Windows will finally keep it.

I always made the mistake of starting to edit videos, finish up, then looking up the video fps and matching the project type before output. Immediate crash.
This is actually a question I’d like some opinions on!
I have a ton of headless servers running Debian that I just replace the sources.list for an upgrade. I imagine things are much more complicated when switches like X11 to Wayland happen, so all desktop environments get a wipe/install instead… But maybe I’m just making a lot of work for myself doing that!
Any of them compatible with Winamp plugins? Because that’s my reason for sticking to the past.
It’s been too many years since I’ve dabbled in code licensing so I’m a bit in the dark as to what this implies, but if this results in a Linux fork that’s capable of running Winamp plugins…
I’m guessing ease of installation/use.
Two of the best call centers I’ve ever worked with would be Google Fiber and Intel. Both of which are probably terrible now.
(2015) Google Fiber actually had people who understood networking, understood my personal setup, and understood what tests I had already performed to diagnose that my issue with their equipment. No faffing about with a script, I gave them my test results and got an appointment for a replacement line in like, 15 minutes, and an immediate credit on the account.
(2009) Back when Intel made rock-solid vanilla motherboards I did a dumb and accidentally disabled legacy USB on my board, which meant that I couldn’t press F2/DEL to get back into BIOS. I called Intel, gave them the troubleshooting steps I already ran (including jumper BIOS reset), and the call center forwarded me to the engineer who designed the motherboard. He whipped up and sent a bootable CD-ROM image to update the BIOS back to default and then updated all future revisions to avoid my issue.
I wish every call center was that good.
I’ve noticed more and more are just hanging up on you now.
I just wish it had a better name. Anything You just makes my brain feel like it hiccup’d trying to reread the sentence parsing it a second time as a name.
What? I didn’t have to subscribe to anything. Are you not choosing Open-Meteo?
I guess I’ll keep this in the back of my mind, but I already migrated over to QuickWeather when Geometric Weather went unsupported. It stinks that I can’t swipe between locations anymore, but the built-in radar and higher information density outweigh switching back for me.
As somebody who has had to set up smartcards, yes. It’s a linux system managing that. The end-user GUI stuff is all Windows though.
There’s a surprising amount of Linux in some hospitals… but people just don’t see it. Fetal Monitors? Probably Linux. User tracking and auditing software? Also Linux. Network downtime document viewer? Linux. Heck, the software that carts use to print sheets to the network printers is CUPS.
I would be so confused and so very angry at the end. I had a hard enough time working inside vim-tiny.
I feel like there is a scary amount of copyright infringement going on to make it look THAT much like Windows 11.
Does discovery mode not have a timer? Feels like that should be the default mode… turn it on, you have x amount of time to find and pair before it turns back off.
Can’t say I have any interesting stories. Most of mine are just the head-scratching “I don’t know why that didn’t work; guess I need to reinstall” kind of story. Like enabling encrypted LVM on install and suddenly nothing is visible to UEFI. Or trying to switch desktop environments using tasksel and now I have a blank screen on next reboot. That lame kind of stuff.
My coworker though… he was mindlessly copy/pasting commands and did the classic rm -rf $UNSETVARIABLE while in / and nuked months of migrated data on his newly built system. He hadn’t even set up backups yet. Management was upset but lenient.
I find it pretty easy to use when building my 3d print adapters, brackets, containers and very simple objects. But if, like me, spaghetti code is your natural language… OpenSCAD does you no favors.
The “we know better than you” attitude Microsoft has. They’ve very slowly removed more and more power user functionality. Almost every customization has to be hacked in with a group policy or registry edit now, or by outright replacing explorer.exe
