I mean, if the king really wants to become beloved of the people he should indeed make a visit to parliament, and request they dissolve Musk’s UK holdings.

Commuting isn’t cheap - it costs most of us over £100 a week. Offices are rarely, if ever, catered, so be prepared to spend for lunch (or spend your free time prepping lunch,or paying extra for portable food).

Know what no-one factors in, the price of lost sleep for that commute, over the years you’re paying a real premium in medical care as conditions develop.

Bring back genuine office perks (catering, refreshments, a culture of clocking out when done, banning open plan offices, on/near-site child care, flexibility for school runs, near-site medical/dental visits, exercise facilities open before and after hours) and offset the financial stresses by paying a reasonable wage, and you might see folks being less adverse towards RTO.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll have a play in the new year and see if it’ll work ^_

Feel free to replace it with the remote tool of your choice. Just keep in mind that it needs to be easy to use from the supportee’s end (double click, read a code).

It’s going to sound really silly but here goes:

1. Ensure their background is the same as it was (seriously, they often use it as an extra way to find things).

2. Where possible, use windows icons for desktop shortcuts and mask link names to match vocab they’re familiar with.

3. Have rustdesk set up with a link saying “Let <your name> help me”.

4. Make sure they have their password written down somewhere.

5. Make sure you have their password written down somewhere.

6. Where possible have background updating, where not possible have a .sh file to do it for them.

7. Add desktop links for things like downloads, documents and pictures.

These are tips for any distro when moving less tech savvy relatives over. For those that like to game, ensure your fs on their gaming drive is a Linux one as it stops weird behaviour. Also, you know, install the games for them!

Got to love badly written laws right?

In this case, however, there is clearly no grounds as no IP is even remotely infringed. The onus is on the entity issuing the takedown order to check this (good faith being key, and an automated tool could be argued to operate entirely without this).

Sadly, it would be a long drawn out procedure without great odds of success as you suggest.

It was already janky when I found it - to be fair there isn’t much out there about bad faith DMCA because the law is so badly written.

It’s all about probabilities.

Truth is proof, and the article contains no details to establish this absolutely. So, we are left with supposition.

This wasn’t an isolated man with nothing to live for - while his career in AI was over, he’d left it to pursue a moral agenda. Suicide is not likely until AFTER he testifies and discharged this.

The fact he supposedly had documents and a testimony that could heavily harm a company is enough to make it very likely his death was the cost of doing business - why pay a billion in a court case when you can pay a million for a professional hit?

On the balance of probabilities, it looks more likely to be like foul play. As they say, Epstein didn’t kill himself.

And here we see an expert hacker at work, with just a few commands as a root user, they managed to gain root access.

I mean, it sounds like a lawsuit to me.

1. A takedown request was issued on false grounds.

2. This takedown was then actioned without any due process.

3. The issue has caused tangible, and measurable, loss (calculable from prior sales records).

Honestly, there needs to be a fixed penalty fine for bad takedowns…

It’s good in a way that isn’t really expected - the only thing I can say without spoiling is it did something really different with things that had been there a long time.

You know, one wonders if all academic works should be released under “academic license”…

Might be nice to sting these big companies for our free labour.

I mean, with winter coming in, and universities not bothering to heat the building, teams turning my potato work laptop into a furnace is the only thing keeping us warm this winter…

Serious question - is their long term strategy bad optimisation to sell hardware? Do they have shares in intel or something?!?

I think, and here the key word is think as this goes beyond my mandate so to speak, it’s more an act of resistance. A bit like protesting, but with less risk.

I’d say the aim is to rallying over retribution, to push those “good men” into fighting more strongly. It’s not a bad tactic, it’ll be interesting to see how it pans out.

It’s also not really that widespread, searches for it are up because it’s making the rounds is all.

The first time you say no to someone you really want to be with, that is when the 4B life starts. Till then, it’s just business as usual (I really hope you don’t sleep with/date people you don’t like!).

The life continues when you see them with someone else, and realise some things can’t be undone. People move on, they’re not static NPCs you can just reload and date later.

It goes ever on, life stops for no-one and it runs it’s course far too soon. To those who choose that path, make sure you know where it leads.

Edit: nice catch apostrofail! I’ll keep no-one though, I feel they need that special dash bond ;)

Surprised Pikachu is much surprised.

Counteroffer - spend that $30 on a drink and turn them down. Just keep on using windows 10 and clog up their support tickets ^_

Hits buzzer

The big windows 10 problem is that it updates to windows 11.

Might be worth spinning up an external 1080ti on the lappy and see if the magic is finally there!
