I loved the simplicity of it. It did one thing, and did it well enough.

They had an early mobile app (BREW I think), but it was pretty awful.

I think SMS gaining popularity killed it, and they were too early for the “What’s App” era that ultimately killed SMS in a lot of places.

At least we’re not doing duckface anymore.

Maybe just that model? I’ve got an X1 carbon. It expects 45W and will run from anything that spits out 20V. Even hooked it into a 20W power bank. It complained that the supply was below expectations and that the battery might not charge but it worked.

The grammar pedant in me is annoyed they’re not called “The Beverlys Crusher” lol.

Most of the last mile fiber network is passive (doesn’t require active electronics to pass the signal like DOCSIS/cable internet or ADSL).

Cable and DSL typically have the equivalent of UPSs in their neighborhood nodes, but they often go unmaintained.

Worst part is I haven’t been on the front lines for years, but Tier I just hears ‘[Application name]’ in the request and blindly forwards it to me with no troubleshooting / fact-finding whatsoever.

I almost gave up on the dairy free cheese because Daiya was supposed to be the top-tier one. Tasted like vaguely cheese-flavored plastic strips, and I was not a fan. Also refused to melt until it was just below the temperature of the surface of the sun, and when it did, it was like a pile of glue.

On a whim, I bought the Kroger store brand (Simple Truth I think?) and it’s pretty damn good. Tastes like cheese, doesn’t feel like a mouth full of plastic, melts at a reasonable temperature, the whole works.

The one where Sarah Gilbert guest stars and Bart has a crush on her?

Is this picture…what? AI generated? Not that I’m aware of. I just searched for a stock photo of an old lady knitting and this was one of the results. Just grabbed it and added the text.

This is the way lol.

That’s basically what EFI booting does.

Initramfs’s main purpose is to load enough of a system to be able to load/boot the kernel and everything else from the hard disk. It’s also used for more complex boot scenarios such as loading LUKS and providing a password prompt if the root partition is encrypted.

Very good. I’ve seen too many random Google Forms going around just harvesting emails / info to plug my details into any that I don’t click into from a legit/verified site. Not that I’m accusing OP of that, just that I don’t know where they got that form link.

Is that an official Google form and/or who am I providing my (required) email address to?

Is there an official Google page that links to this? Sorry but anyone can share a Google form.

and didn’t even answer their question

TBF, that’s like half the email replies I get when I ask a basic question.

If a coworker doesn’t bother to write the email, I’m not going to bother reading it lol.

It is managed, but I can disable smart features and remove it as an app. But it still pops up constantly (basically like an ad). If you try to do anything from the pop-up, it tells you it needs to be enabled to work. So, it knows it’s disabled but still shoves itself in my face as if I accidentally clicked into 4 different deep settings pages to disable it lol.

I can and do use FF, but I use Chrome for Workspace because … stupid company policy reasons. It works in FF, but the way they have SSO configured, you get logged out every 45 minutes.

So it’s not just me. Okay. Of the group, I was the only one who experienced that.

Google Workspace (what the company I work for uses for collaboration).

1. I don’t want Gemini/AI. At all.
2. If you disable it, it still pops up constantly.

I’ve only tried salvia twice, and it always made me feel like my body was being twisted clockwise. Not for me.

I like how I was courageous enough to not fix the actual typos/failed commands in the actual history lol.
