Every single morning on the train to work, I watch people put finishing touches on PowerPoint presentations.

How does sharing an album with others work on Immich?

This behavior (as far as I can tell) has broken the Expensify iOS app for us at work. We have a conditional access policy that requires a “compliant” device to succeed the SSO login. However, only the iOS Edge browser can prove compliance and Expensify refuses to hand over that login process to the Edge browser preferring to use its own built-in browser. So login fail and as far as I can tell there is nothing we can do about it except for exempt that app from the conditional access policies.

I’m right there with you. I have 35 years of Windows experience — 20 as an IT professional — and I just gave up on Windows in my personal life a few days ago and installed Linux. I’ve dabbled in the past with old machines running Linux or dual-booting (and never actually using it), but this time I went all in and installed it as my only option.

I can’t leave it behind professionally, so I’ll be riding along for this train wreck, but I will have some peace at home at least.

We’ve been looking for something like this for our conference room. A PC presenting on a large TV, but mirrored/AirPlayed on iPads for anyone that wanted a version closer to their face.

These issues have been the bane of my existence lately, especially your F2 renaming example.

I’m autofilling usernames and passwords from 1Password’s browser extension probably 100+ times per workday. Are you manually copying and pasting anywhere near that amount? I think I would be miserable with that setup for anything beyond very light use.

What do you find vague about the studied effects of smoking or asbestos? Or did you mistype and mean “unlike” instead of “not unlike”?

I’m not saying you’re making the wrong move, but if you’re willing to go with a carrier like ATT, you can get $1000 trade-in value for that iPhone 13 Pro towards a new iPhone 16 Pro. You can even just buy an unlocked iPhone 12 off of eBay (for about $250) and get the same $1000 trade-in credit for you son. There are some caveats. For example, the credits are paid out evenly over 24 months, but if you plan to keep it for 2 years, you basically get a $250 iPhone 16 Pro.

Again, it might not be the right decision for you, but I thought you might like to be aware of the option.

I just came from chicagotribune.com where they tried to entice me with a Flash Sale of one year’s access for a total of $1. Sounds great, but I took advantage of it a year or so back and regretted it due to how annoying they were with advertisements, newsletters, etc…. It’s pretty amazing that the tactics can be so annoying that they can make me regret a $1 purchase.

I believed for years that my good friend’s dad’s name was Aba and even called him that once before I realized later that it’s the Hebrew word for father.

I had been having complex thoughts for years at that point so it was a bit embarrassing.

It’s called “Intune” / sorry, “Microsoft Endpoint Manager” is a way better name / just kidding, it’s “Intune” again! We had you there for a second though!

Do you have examples of ISPs that do this?

Regarding Google search results, could some explain to me what it is that appears after the first few sections of results and the format changes to something else entirely? When I run the search on my iPhone for “baseball”, I get a few screens worth of normal looking stuff and then if I keep scrolling past the “More search results” link the background turns pinkish and scrolling gets jerky. Nothing of real value ever shows up at this point and the user experience is absolutely terrible. Are these paid placements? Does this section of results have a proper name?

I manage our company’s Windows machines and I was thinking this exact same thing the other day. In years past, you’d be pestered to reboot until you finally acquiesced and now Microsoft thinks they can get away with updating everything on the sly but the effect is often exactly as you described. I’m not loving it.

I think this is only an issue with the models that end in ‘e’ if I’m not mistaken. They’re pushing it hard, but if you know to look you can find the same model without these absurd restrictions. For example, the HP LaserJet M209dwe (d=duplex, w=wireless, e=HP+) will require an Internet connection and HP’s Smart app, but there is also an HP LaserJet M209dw that does not have these restrictions.

I genuinely wasn’t sure whether psychoacoustician was a cheeky synonym for audiophile or not. :). I looked it up and, sure enough, psychoacoustics is a legitimate field of study.

That’s astonishing. I clearly don’t have any type of intuition for the amount of earth these mines are extracting, because the number you’re putting out there seems comical.

We’ve been using it for years and it’s always been irritating in the way you describe. It seems if you miss the first push notification, you’ll receive a flurry more, many of which don’t really seem to do anything even if you do approve them. It’s possible that I have the timeouts set incorrectly, but I’ve followed Microsoft’s guidelines. Unfortunately we don’t have a better solution, so we suffer with it.

Not exactly the same, but theverge.com has recently decided to shove about 50 Outbrain ads, across 3-4 loads, in between the end of the article and the comment section. It makes me livid every time, yet still I go back :(.

I don’t know if you’re joking or not, and I say this as someone who uses Edge as their primary browser, but Edge does not improve the situation you describe. Edge is just a flavor of chromium at this point and absolutely gives Chrome a run for its money in the tracking and telemetry department.

Are you speaking as an employee or a customer? I just checked my password db for a few Citibank accounts and all of them were far longer than 8 characters.

This is me too. And the me of 2 years ago would have been aghast about that. But I now finding myself missing pretty major news cycles regularly because eventually you learn to trust the fact that you can "catch up" at any point in time. I've really enjoyed letting news happen and not getting caught up in the immediacy of it.

I think the threat models of the overwhelming majority of individuals would prioritize scenarios that involve lost or stolen laptops/desktops over law enforcement. So Microsoft defaulting to protecting the security needs of the common man over criminals seems entirely reasonable to me. Criminals (or the security/privacy conscious) can organize their enterprises to make sure that their BitLocker keys aren’t stored where law enforcement agencies can get them. And I say that as someone who really does have concerns about the possibility that this can be abused, but I still believe it’s a reasonable default.

I've never felt a game to be more disrespectful of my time than when playing Animal Crossing. The number of completely unnecessary menus, transitions, loads, and otherwise flow-breaking elements is astounding. That game was simply not for me.

Is there an actual bug here? It's much nicer than before in my opinion. It actually remembers whether your Bluetooth radio was On or Off when last in Airplane Mode and that's a new feature of iOS 11 as far as I'm aware. I frequently go in and out of Airplane Mode without dropping Bluetooth. What's the bug?

Also, this method no longer works either since they dropped the "chrome://plugins" page in Chrome 57.

I'm on my second OXO garlic press because the hinge on the first one cracked. They did replace it for me for free, but I was surprised that it broke at all. It does not feel like a cheap tool and I'm not sure I could break the hinge on it again if someone challenged me to.

It appears there is some history with this Vess character being wrong and particularly obstinate about his position too. So while we all jumped into this conversation without that background, I'm not surprised that these developers are being harsh with him. He seems to have made a long-term habit of ignoring the crux of their argument (which is a super strong argument IMO) and continues to put forth his own ignorant views.

Not everyone sells. Nail Houses are a real thing. Although, they certainly don't make it easy to stay.
