This feels like something a C-suite came up with to carve out extra profit and had some bean counters crunch the numbers on, fluffed them up a bit and then had the company roll with it on his idea.
I’m usually disappointed by consumer apathy, but from everyone I talk to who has a car with a screen, if they have CarPlay/Android Auto they couldn’t do without it, and if they don’t have it it’s the biggest thing they wish they had.
I’d agree with your first statement if they were getting the boot in the place of a company with honesty, value, integrity, quality and security.
GM is none of those things, and it’s highly unlikely they’ll ever be any of those things.
This is bad news.
My one hope is that the meltdown is tied to commercial real estate, which will hopefully avoid this whole thing.
lol exactly.
I want to show up, do work, get paid, be left alone.
I’ll do really good work, and take pride it in because that’s just who I am, but I don’t want to do overtime, I don’t want to go above and beyond for the company, I don’t want to play office politics, I don’t want to jockey for higher roles. None of it.
Show up, get paid.
This is it right here.
If I want to watch something, can I do it within 2 minutes?
Now? If it’s not in the current app I’m in and featured, unlikely.
Piracy? Through a handful of services, local or remote, I can be watching that movie in one place in 30 seconds in the highest quality.
What service was once decent has been ruined by capitalism again.
Amplitube is great, I really like BIAS as well.
I’m commenting on this again because I actually tried this tonight. The info is pretty sparse. I know it’s an alternate install method, but in bottles there’s a lot of variables.
Even just knowing which runner was used in testing would help a ton, as there are quite a few, and each has tons of versions.
They’re counting on people being complacent and just whitelisting.
The problem is, they’re probably right to try the tactic too. People need those dopamine hits.
Is it fun yet?
Thanks!

That economic loss isn’t affecting the people it needs to affect for there to be real change. That’s the problem.
On my main server: I have my SSD RAID1 ZFS snapshots of my container appdata, VM VHDs and docker image, that is also backed up as a full backup once per night to the RAID10 array, then rsynced to the backup server which then is uploaded to the cloud.
The data on the RAID is backups, repos or media that I’ve deposited there for an extra copy it for serving via Plex/Jellyfin. I have extra copies of the data, and if I were to lose the array totally, I wouldn’t be pleased, but my personal pictures/videos wouldn’t be in danger.
I run two back up servers, which both upload to the cloud. One of which takes bare metal images of all my computers (sans servers bulk drives), the other which takes live folders.
This is more due to convenience so that I can pull a bare metal image to restore a device, or easily go find a file with versioning online if necessary on both accounts.
As a wise man said, you can never have too many backups.
I had a recruiter after me hard one time. They had a company they were trying to grow and had already plucked away a couple of guys from my team.
He offered what he thought was an aggressive offer based on what the other guys said they were making.
I asked about WFH, he said the company preferred people in the office to collaborate. This was my third time asking this, the first two times I told him this was a non-starter, and this offer was to try to go above and beyond that to sway me with dollar signs.
I laid out the costs that were involved: commuting, car, gas, childcare, lunch, etc. and how his aggressive offer still had me coming up behind, and that’s before I even take into account time and comfort lost.
He’s called back again twice, and it’s the same freaking question, “any movement on work from home?”
We all know the answer.
Definitely. Android has tiers, from flagship down.
You can get an Android that surpasses any iPhone in specs and price no problem.
So you get carte blanche to be insufferable because you consider yourself to be a holier than thou messenger with self-assigned credentials?
Dimishing returns tax calculated on personal worth, not including liabilities.
The more you make/have the more you pay.
Doesn’t matter if you have it sitting in investments, antiques or income, it all gets taxed the same. Can’t hide it by subtracting liabilities, because those are your own responsibilities, not the governments.
This will shift the burden to the upper class and remove the burden from the lower class, it will also help the middle class by not being stuck in the middle and being able to be judged on levels and on a scale.
Apply the same to companies, it will actually encourage mega-corps to split into smaller companies.
Complaining about downvotes is a sure fire way to get more downvotes.
But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the information you’re presenting, so much as the way you’re presenting it.
There’s tons of emotion around news and facts these days and people just want it cut straight without the fat. Don’t tell us how to feel, or why we should feel that way, tell us what the facts are and we’re grown ups, we’ll put our big people clothes on and make up how we feel about it on our own.
Any emotion you put into it is likely to undo any good points you may have made. There’s a time for that, this isn’t it.
It’s basically just their Outlook web app. It offers no extra function, and breaks a LOT of old functionality.
There’s a registry key to turn off the button.
Microsoft’s phone link app works with iphones messaging app now.
