Whoa strawman there. No it’s not.

On the quotes: these are just, like, your opinons, man.

I’m sorry what the heck is that Blade Runner reference.

Edit after skimming the article: It’s internal codenames for the controllers I think.

Ngl I was convinced for a good while it’s mostly a result of smoking near them.

Yea we’re doing something similiar. Only update base images for bigger OS updates or if something breaks or can break.

The general idea is to have config that works for both new PCs and the ones that are already in use. Saves on maintaining two configuration methods.

I’m the only one to swoon here, and I’m as sceptical as one can be.

I’m also a cost and my budget is on paper only. Non-IT management is complicit in crappy IT.

I wonder how you’re supposed to get PXE boot to work securely over the internet. And how that helps when affected disk is still encrypted and needs unusual intervention to fix, including admin access to system files.

I’ve been doing this for a while, and I like creative solutions, so I wonder about those issues a lot. Not much comes to my mind besides let’s recall all the laptops and do it one by one.

Sure. At the same time one needs to manage resources.

I was all in on laptop deployment automation. It cut down on a lot of human error issues and having inconsistent configuration popping up all the time.

But it needs constant supervision, even if not constant updates. More systems and solutions lead to neglect if not supplied well. So some “would be good to have” systems just never make the cut, because as overachieving I am, I’m also don’t want to think everything is taken care of when it clearly isn’t.

This works great for stationary pcs and local servers, does nothing for public internet connected laptops in hands of users.

The only fix here is staggered and tested updates, and apparently this update bypassed even deffered update settings that crowdstrike themselves put into their software.

The only winning move here was to not use crowdstrike.

Idk about vitamins, it seems to be a bit contrived.

My ADHD stimulants come in hard pills and capsules. Capsules are long absorbtion, they release the drug more slowly in the digestive system. The hard pills are a short burst, usually with lower doses.

It makes a ton of difference to me, but I just eat vitamins as hard pills. Some are difficult to swallow, but I can deal. Some can’t, and capsules are likely better.

More work, more debt. The more debt you have the harder it is to let go.

Godot had a visual scripting feature, but apparently nobody used or maintained it so it got cut.

Seems like it is maintained but not ported to Plasma 6, yet anyway.

Radical.

I think it’s incompetence.

It’s going on a sidequest.

I was just thinking there’s somebody rewriting coreutils in rustnand there it is. I’m omnipotent!

Credit and release any changes you made to it. No freeloading.

Easily done with licences. Corpo is scared of licensing.

Also unless you can hyperfocus and literally exhaust yourself in those 8h, you can’t do any type of white collar job for 8h a day. It’s impossible to be mentally productive for that amount of time day in day out. Forget doing anything creative.
