There are probably newer ones that come with LiPos. But every consumer grade one I’ve seen is traditional lead acid batteries.

…(it is kinda like a bomb after all)…

WAT? I’ve never heard a UPS referred to as “kinda like a bomb” before.

Keep your UPS maintained, replace the batteries when they age out, and it will be fine. If your UPS supports automated self-tests, use them.

My employer has UPS units spread all over the region we operate in, and we don’t have any issues, despite leaving them mostly unattended for years. I have several in my house and I’ve never given them a second thought aside from battery replacements.

My phone has a passcode, so does my password manager and my MFA app - all different passwords. Those are the only ones I need to remember, so it’s not too bad.

Probably not ideal, but to break that someone needs to A) physically get my phone, B) unlock my phone, C) unlock my pw vault, and D) unlock my MFA app. I’m fairly confident in my setup.

Same, but my seeds are stored in a separate vault from my passwords. Seems like having MFA and passwords in the same place defeats the purpose. I used to let keepassxc auto fill MFA tokens, but finally changed to a separate app.

I use it for my work mail. I can’t speak to their privacy, but I think it’s ok. So far as I know they haven’t done anything stupid, and all the connections are only from my device, no cloud intermediary.

I do like that it allows you to only apply the ActiveSync policies to the app instead of the entire device. If my employer remote wipes my device, it only impacts the app.

Yes, back in the early 00s. We toyed with making a net-bootable image with it for our computer labs, but it was really not practical. It definitely taught me a ton about systems, though.

I admit, I’m not a big fan of putting more functionality into systemd (or just of systemd in general), but that is a well-reasoned argument for having sudo live in the init system.

Apple ][e, it became “mine” in 90 after we moved. It’s still at my sister’s house, needs anew drive cable (we think). I bought a P2 350MHz a few years later so I could do something useful…those were the days…

First phone was (I think) a Razr, in 03. My dad was more than happy to buy me a phone so he wasn’t worried about me driving back and forth from college.

I barely used my joycons, but I had drift. I don’t think I was misusing them, I only used them when mobile, and that was infrequent. And yet they drifted.

I replaced the sticks with Hall effect sticks, and they’ve been fine since.

I did see another report that it’s just a component in Edge. Unfortunately I don’t have that link handy right now.

There’s basically nothing categorical that can’t run on Linux…

From a desktop standpoint, I agree. From a business server infrastructure standpoint, I disagree completely. We run tons of software that doesn’t run on Linux. Maybe there are alternatives, but there are other aspects in play (integrations with other services, vendor pricing, etc).

It’s not just desktops that people worry about.

That doesn’t make it right.

And not everyone can dump Windows for Linux. We run a lot of software that requires Windows. Changing is impractical if not impossible.

Is that it’s update check?

I bought the 512Gb OLED, and within two months decided I needed to upgrade the storage. I replaced the drive with a 2Tb drive, and I’m much happier. That said, I download a ton of stuff and keep it on there. I don’t often play a single game straight through, so I like having the ability to have a wide variety at any given time. Replacing the drive is trivial if you’re handy at all.

I would buy direct, I wouldn’t trust getting something second hand. I’m sure plenty of people are selling their LCD for an OLED, but I would rather go direct unless you’re getting an amazing deal and have some level of purchase protection.

Chaotic random stuff.

• Hollow Knight displate picture
• Piranha plant (Mario) in style of Starry Night
• Signed card art of Prodigal Sorcerer
• Zelda “it’s dangerous to go alone” print
• Signed, hand drawn Homer Simpson by Matt Groening
• Hobbit meals clock
• Legos (micro space shuttle, Saturn V)
• String of D20 lights

I have other stuff to put up, but since we want to move soon, I’m avoiding that. I’m really hoping to be able to put all my fun stuff back up on my new office when we move. But that remains to be seen…depends what kind of space I end up with.

I finished setting up my deck the day before the lawsuit was announced. I should probably make a backup of my SD card where I installed everything…

“No lawful way…”

I just finished saving backups of the games I bought using my (hackable) Switch, and I’m planning on setting it up w/ Yuzu on my Steam Deck.

And no one’s going to stop me from fairly using my stuff.

Mozilla seized an opportunity to bring trustworthy AI into Firefox, largely driven by the Fakespot acquisition and the product integration work that followed. Additionally, finding great content is still a critical use case for the internet. Therefore, as part of the changes today, we will be bringing together Pocket, Content, and the AI/ML teams supporting content with the Firefox Organization.

How do you interpret that?

I have not. I don’t handle our hardware much, so I’m not entirely sure what we’re using.

We use a separate subdomain. For example, all our hosts are joined to the ad.example.com domain, so remote management would be the same hostname on ilo.example.com.

We also have all HP hardware (at least for servers), so we have everything in OneView. Other devices (NetScaler SDX appliances, other stuff with management interfaces) just have their interface in that subdomain and it works out great.
