Yeah same, I remember initially feeling the Outlook integration was extremely clunky, for example, but there’s a big simplicity to being able to grab a recurring meeting link and then just attach it to any meeting regardless of whether it’s rescheduled or has an unusual pattern.

Teams is much more annoying in this regard since it pretty much requires calendar integration for the meeting to work. Trying to set up any new meeting regenerates the meeting link, and it’s maddening. Like just let these two things not be connected if I want.

In Windows 95, wordpad was still write.exe, is it possible they just renamed it?

Hasn’t been called “.NET Core” since 3.1

Although it’s essentially the subsequent version of core, .NET 5 is the successor to both .NET Core 3.1 and .NET Framework 4.

Since then, it’s just been called .NET 5/6/7/8/…

The router settings, require a password to change whether it’s in family safe mode or not

BDS?

I don’t get it, can you Xplain?

The cynic in me says maybe your coworker was just taking their time

Yeah just tried it again now.

I deleted the partition again first, then when I got to the installer, it had created a new 50GB partition and mounted /var/crash and /var/log which can’t be unmounted (tried force unmount and all that jazz)

I recently tried this for the first time for my grandad on an old dying laptop of his which was struggling to run at any speed.

During the install it had already messed with the hard drive partitions in order to run the live environment, which is a big no-no for me.

The whole point of the live environment is it shouldn’t change the system until you try to install!

It also meant I no longer had a free partition to install to anymore so I couldn’t even get through the installer since I also couldn’t resize etc. because the partition was in use.

Been using Debian/Ubuntu based Linux for about 20 years and never seen this issue until Pop! OS

Also doesn’t allow you to export so you can’t switch to another service

This isn’t an ad, it’s a suggested result from one of our partners

Learned this lesson the hard way, once bought a cheap replacement laptop charger for one that had broken.

It didn’t work and instead borked the backlight of my screen. I then discovered that on this model, the backlight couldn’t be separately replaced, had to buy and fit a whole new screen and then also buy another replacement charger.

Yes, the point they’re making is that if you upgrade the laptop components, you can use the old components as another PC

It says right in your first link that it doesn’t support self signed certs

Oh yeah, I completely concur. I don’t get the ux argument either, I always find it to be incredibly slow and frustrating to use whenever I have to

They may eventually get dragged there kicking and screaming but will milk consumers in other markets for every penny they can before that happens

Think you might have confused iOS and MacOS

You are both correct, the law states that it has to be as easy to opt out as in, but most companies are not implementing it correctly

What should it do? It should ask you to confirm the login with a configured 2FA
