This doesn’t kill the crab

OP: “Hey, check out my website idea! It’s still a work in progress, but let me know what you think!”

You: “If it’s not 100% perfect with verifiable sources for every single fact ever then you suck and should feel bad until I’m happy”

That’s a valid point.

Willfully ignorant people like that, yeah I don’t disagree.

If you use a company-provided computer for work, then it’s safe to assume they’re already doing that.

¿Por que no los dos?

I mean, if it’s a company-owned laptop, they can do whatever the fuck they want with it. I bring a personal laptop to work for browsing and YouTube and whatnot, attached to a VPN.

the PS5 has what? maybe 15 exclusives? less? whats’ the point? There’s nothing out on the PS5 that makes me say “I need to own this console” especially when many of their “exclusives” are now available on PC.

Last time I booted up my PS5, I was teaching my son how to play Minecraft on PC. I was going to hop into the world he had made on my PC from the PS5…and that’s when I discovered Sony locks out all network multiplayer behind PSN, even just over LAN.

At this point, I might just sell the fucking thing. My PC (5800X3D/7900XTX/32GB) can run PS3 games just fine via RPCS3 with a Dualsense controller, and that’s 99% of the reason I paid for PSN. But even then, playing PS3 games on the PS5 is just streaming from rackmounted PS3 hardware based in some Sony datacenter. So I’m not even sure why I still have it. I don’t play on it enough these days to justify paying nearly $30/mo for PSN when I can just get PS exclusives on Steam and buy cheap PS3 games on eBay to rip and play on my PC.

The PS5 has incredibly capable hardware, but it’s so locked down that it’s impossible to enjoy anything about it without paying for PSN.

Console price increases

Game Pass/PSN price increases

$80+ Nintendo games

Micron axing consumer RAM sales

Nvidia cutting consumer GPU production

Gee, I wonder why…

Hopefully they use it as a lesson in consent. And leave it at that.

I don’t know enough about England’s politics to form an opinion on how they will actually end up botching it, but I feel like it’s going to be botched.

That’s why they’re asking here.

I use Syncthing to sync my database between my laptops, desktop, work computer, personal phone, work phone, and my NAS (which gets everything and is set to never delete anything). NAS is backed up weekly, and the password database is also backed up to a few trusted cloud services.

Trump will launch nukes before ever admitting to fucking kids.

That’s just Samsung’s version of “recovery mode”. Pretty much every Android device operates this way.

Oh for sure, 100% on all points. I’m actually waiting for the RePS2 PSU to come back in stock for my own fat PS2.

unless you’re a die hard that insists the hardware be 100% original.

Ugh. I cannot stand purists. I will happily upgrade or modify things to keep the original “look”, but with modern functionality.

What MDM is your company using? My work iPhone is provisioned with Intune MDM software and does not allow copy/paste between work apps and non-work apps.

Work provides a phone and laptop. Neither are touched after I clock out. But for the off-chance I need to do a work thing at home (filling out a forgotten time card entry, informing the team that I’m sick, etc), I have a separate and isolated “work” VLAN at home they can connect to.

I carry two phones. Work provides me with one. It goes on DnD mode as soon as I clock out.

It is a huge problem here, unfortunately.
