In this case I meant the literal definition of Muslim, not just Islam. The Persians were fighting Judeans back in 500 BC over the same land. It’s still the same conflict, just under a different name millenia later.

Muslims and Jews have been fighting each other for nearly 3000 years.

If anyone thinks they’re going to be the one person who can stop that conflict, they’re absolutely delusional.

Tony hawk games were the only other skating games, but they had button-press controls and goofy physics. Skate came out with much more realistic physics and the thumbstick flicking controls that made tricks feel purposeful. I think people who do skate (or wanted to) got pulled in for the realistic skating lines and tricks. There was also still enough over-the-top jumps and tricks to keep younger kids entertained.

They’re not actually getting rid of the XPS line, they’re just changing the naming convention.

Any of the new Dell models with ‘Premium’ in the name are going to be the same as the Dell XPS line.

Not sure why Hawaii is included in this meme. Hawaii has only had 1 Republican senator since it became a state in 1959.

Nifty thing is you absolutely can do that if you’re using SharePoint shortcuts in OneDrive instead of SharePoint library syncing.

You can’t use both syncing and shortcuts at the same time though. Syncing libraries came first, so it’s typically what is already setup and is kind of a pain to transfer a whole org away from.

Pretty sure most hosting platforms have egress costs on their cheaper VM instances.

I know Google cloud charges for bandwidth to AUS, and Oracle is 10TB of egress per month before charging (which I think is the most generous of free/cheap hosting platforms).

To be fair, I wiped out the custom CSS with RES when I was on there.

Couldn’t stand every subreddit thinking it was cute to change random styling for no reason. It was like the old custom myspace page days.

Pretty sure Rockstar allows community servers to disable the anti-cheat as well, just like single player.

The GTA RP community at this point is a considerable part of why people are still playing GTA.

Part of the point behind Ventoy is that you don’t need to prepare the USB to be bootable. You can just copy/paste the whole iso into Ventoy and it will be bootable. New release comes out? Just copy it onto your USB drive. Don’t even need to remove the old version of you don’t want to.

Makes things much easier in the tech world for having a single USB with 50+ bootable tools and installers on there like with MediCat (which uses Ventoy as a base).

Only thing I’ve had issues with booting from Ventoy is the ProxMox install iso. Everything else has worked first try.

+1 for Mikrotik.

Get one of their routers that have an Arm or x86 processor and you can run PiHole and a DDNS updater on there as containers. Wireguard support (client and server) is built in.

Even their cheapest hardware that runs routerOS has access to all the same features as their enterprise level gear.

The directed scope of the bill is going to do the same thing to TikTok that legislation did to Juul.

If you target Juul with legal repercussions for all their flavored vapes, then only Juul stops selling flavored pods. Now a million other disposable vape companies fill the void with flavored vapes that are worse for the ecosystem.

Targeting TikTok will just lead to another foreign data-harvesting social media app popping up to fill its place.

I don’t think these two are related.

Change Healthcare (company who handles most electronic prescription platforms) had a ransomware attack a couple weeks ago that took down their entire infrastructure for multiple days.

Doctors and pharmacies were likely using paper scripts because the entire electronic prescription platform was shutdown.

State vehicle registration where I’m at is based on vehicle weight. Costs about $400 to renew the registration on my daily driver and $600 to renew for a larger truck. Motorcycles are only like $80 to renew.

Consumers are being taxed more for larger vehicles, it’s the manufacturers trying to avoid safety regulations that are seeing the cost benefits.

Could be a student or military or live in an apartment.

Not sure any of those establishments are going to be thrilled with you running an extension cable across the parking lot or sidewalk to charge your car.

Also pretty sure they meant their family lives outside of the range of a single EV charge and there’s no charging infrastructure on the way. What would be an 8 hour drive to visit family for the holidays turns into a multi-day trip with a stay at a motel/hotel to wait for your car to charge.

Spent a full day setting up Nextcloud so I could file sync my machines and share files externally. It was slow as hell and didn’t work half the time.

Spent 10 minutes spinning up Syncthing and FileBrowser containers and have had zero issues with them since.

Yup. Our RMM tools work best on Windows machines. Honestly, Linux is fine too, but MacOS is the worst to manage.

If anything needs to be modified/deployed on MacOS, I have to create a new PPPC and deploy it through Intune/Jamf/Addigy, otherwise you can guarantee the end user won’t accept the correct security prompts and things won’t work.

Just checked and you’re right. Looks like it was always owned by Roblox.

I must be getting it mixed up with the Teams features they added to the Xbox game bar on windows.
