Ive had to start putting ublock origin on cuatomers systems by default. The web has become a far worse cesspool for scams than what it was a few years ago. The ads blend in with real content. The internet is a shit hole now.

Scum bags everywhere. Time to go back to private hosted BBS.

In this case, yes. NAFTA screws the average American and boosts the stock market which pur government is beholden to. The net effect around the globe is more exploitation for all.

I joined the auto industry around 5 years ago. It blew my mind to some extent to be made aware that some ~25 years later, the effects of NAFTA are still to be fully realized. I had assumed that enough time had passed that any economic rebalancing would have been complete.

The potential is there and ripe for industry to whole cloth make the move to Mexico. My company for one is rumored to have an unwritten rule that they don’t do new construction in the US, despite being a US based company.

Only a few crown jewel US locations are really well managed and supported.

So they’ll take down the easy targets. The streams will simply pop up elsewhere. Everlasting game of whack-a-mole.

I could seriously eat this every meal every day.

What year is this?

Not sure if there’s better things out there now. Last year I tried “This is Windows 11” from github to clean up the defaults I disliked in win 11. Ultimately went back to LTSC as I did not find win 11 to be my flavor.

But anymore, windows 10 pro or win 11 pro both have too much bloat packed in. Windows 8.1 was faster and more streamlined than either of them. Just not as much as in the retail skus. Just not as much as in the retail skus.

I really don’t feel like MS offers a true business class OS anymore. Enterprise should come absolutely stripped to the bones. But you’ll still get Xbox and a bunch of other nonsense in enterprise.

Bosch 800 series are great. Had one in our last house. New house, couldn’t get another within a year. Went with Beko, somewhere near the top of their line. I would say it competes well with the Bosch. Close enough to call it a draw after one year.

That said, check the drain and supply line on the one you have. If you have too much restriction or if the linea are routed higher rather than lower (requiring more pressure to pump) it might be stopping due to flow rate issues. Could be as simple as a line maybe got kinked.

Lol. OK.

Won’t just be tolerated. It will be widely embraced, just as it has been.

Thanks t shirt guy.

Same for me. My company talks a big game, but is bad at audits or detection for authorized devices / unauthorized access.

I wiped my work pc and ran linux daily for a year. Remina for remote management was far better than the native RDP client in Windows. Web based outlook got the job done. Teams app in Windows is just reskinned chrome anyhow. Works just as good in a browser. Had a remote box set up for any thing that absolutely required Windows.

Never been on anything except for ssri’s, over the counter stimulants and alcohol. But I recall one of my first girlfriends was ADHD and on Adderall. She would skip it because she said it made her feel like a zombie.

I seriously was thinking the other day I need to see if newsgroups we’re still a thing. It was so cool being able to dial up, refresh the threads and then read offline at any time without having to refresh or navigate multiple 20mb web pages… That meme the other day about scraping got me jonesing for barbones simplicity.
