So Windows installs something that brakes Linux boot. How are you supposed to boot Linux to install a fix? Am I expected to reboot into a different OS twice a day and check for updates? Am I slacking for not doing so?!
lol. Remember when Uber was cracking the market? Taxis where bad bad. Uber was cool cool. One "monopoly" got exchanged for another. Now Waymo is cool cool. In 10 years or so Waymo will be bad because they will play loud ads or some shit.
I’m not convinced enshittification of the Waymo experience is inevitable. It’s possible there’s a price point at which they can produce a profit while remaining a premium experience. Uber chose to expand into the mass market, which every lay person already knew was not full of producer surplus. Taxis weren’t famous for shitty service and bad employment practices because they were a monopoly, they were famous for it because it’s a cutthroat, low-margin business.
It seems like Google will tolerate small money pits, but not ones that are scaling up. I'd bet Waymo is at or approaching breakeven. If they stop expanding coverage, then I'd worry about the lines diverging.
Google also still has the scars from buying Motorola and acquiring a huge number of employees. They aren't going to bloat their headcount expanding Waymo.
Same here: my selection boiled down to Borg vs. Restic. I started with Restic because my friends used it and, while it was perfectly satisfactory functionally, found it unbearably slow with large backups. Changed to Borg and I've been happy everafter !
What is a "large" backup? Slow to backup locally or slow to backup over a network? (obviously you are not saying its slow without understanding the network is inherently slow, but more along the lines of maybe its network protocol is slow.)
Those were only about 10 TB - home scale, and over SSH across 2 to 10 ms. I was coming from rdiff-backup, which satisfyingly saturated disk writes, whereas I didn't even understand what bottleneck restic was hitting.
Well, don't help him. People(me) grew up without the Internet or Smartphones and broke Windows on the family PC all the time. In 2000 when I got SuSE it only slowed down the breakdowns. He can always fix stuff himself by reinstalling the OS. As long as he doesn't format the /home partition he will not lose data. And he will learn his lessons.
Does someone know why folder forwarding is so slow? Browsing forwarded directories is not production ready at all! (I'm not talking about xrdp, but the original RDP.) Even SMB2 over WAN is faster.
If a program has a deep link and has to process one file, ok. Everything above that and it turns into a waiting game.
That’s a lot of red! I didn’t know about this one, thank you for the share. I suspect I still won’t use it over PairDrop because the web page is too busy, the “Check out my other projects” completely draws the eyes, and I want something that’s clean and not distracting for the receiving end.
The whole point of a password manager is to be reliable when shit hits the fan. If my phone dies I want every changes to be available to the other synced devices, especially when it has been away from home for a while (losing newly created accounts or passwords during a trip is just miserable)
My phone doesn't have my main password safe. I don't trust that thing. If a stupid app decides to log me out, I can't login until I'm back home. I never created an account "on the go", but I had to do a password reset once. I will use a standard password until I'm back and change it to a randomly created one.
I can't even login to my bank without a special token device. I don't have that with me either.
A different life is possible. That's all I'm saying.
There is no difference between honey and malware other than the later gets attacked by anti viruses. They literally do the same thing. Stealing referrals.
We live in the most corrupt timeline.
I haven't heard of Honey recruiting computers into a DDOS-for-hire botnet, or providing remote desktop access to an attacker, or stealing financial details and draining bank accounts, or bricking computers on purpose, or encrypting files and holding them for random. Are you sure there's no difference and they literally do the same thing?
At the same time, I've not heard of a virus stealing referrals, but I wouldn't be surprised there. Just seems really uncommon among malware, compared to all the other stuff malware does and Honey doesn't.
Honestly, I thought everybody understood referrals are how "free" coupon sites and coupon extensions got their money to continue existing. Did folks think that Honey was spending that money, building that product and infrastructure, out of the goodness of their hearts, rather than as part of a business?
It seems like the only reason this extension out of many is getting attention, is because some rich internet video stars took money to promote it and regret doing so because it ended up making them less money than they hoped. No caring about their fans (for example, educating them, "don't install coupon extensions, they're usually spyware"), I guess because that's less profitable than exploiting them for $$$
I know of a company that missed its yearly Microsoft Exchange Online payment. After four month Microsoft cut of their email. Which one could argue is also a "public notice" because emails bounced. (That did the trick and the company paid immediately.)
You are telling me:
1. Microsoft should have tried to find a different way to contact and reach out.
2. That you would have moved your eMail/Groupware to someone else because of that.
