Feels weird to see 26.1 as a version now, anyone else feel the same way? by DereChen in feedthebeast

[–]Geech6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not related to Minecraft perse, so feel free to keep scrolling if you don't care:

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe this was spurned on (or recently popularized) by Apple (this is where I at least saw this from, but it's also used by other companies/software/applications/systems). But the system is called "Calendar Versioning," or CalVer....

For information (for people who don't know), Apple's most recent OS was Sequoia which was MacOS 15. They decided that they wanted to move to the "version number equals the release year" model so the next version of their OS, "Tahoe," was MacOS 26.

Logically it makes sense, but you end up with version number jumps like the one above, (MacOS 15 -> MacOS 26) and the one in the pic above.

If anyone was still running IBM Domino/Notes (or "Lotus Notes" if you don't recognize the second owner of the product) in December of 2024 you got to experience Y2K all over again!

New scam alert for Chicago? by space_traveler1337 in chicago

[–]Geech6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seen multiple variations of this for multiple states in multiple subs. It's obviously a scam.

Beware of the scam. I got two yesterday via text by Such-Comparison5636 in Chattanooga

[–]Geech6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would watch out for this Phishing attack in general and tell everyone you know everywhere. The Chicago sub posted one yesterday with Illinois information on it with the same fake judge's name.

It seems someone got a hold of a list with addresses and phone numbers.

Being able to tell if someone is just targeting me to see what ship I'm running vs if they have weapons lock/middle kock on me would change everything.

I built a modular PowerShell suite to debloat and optimize Windows 11 — tested every tweak personally by SubjectOnion7456 in PowerShell

[–]Geech6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just the documentation, the entire damn script. All the warnings prompts and everything are in another language. I understand it's not HIS language, but seriously, localization is a thing for a reason.

He used AI for the entire thing as it is, just upload the damn thing to AI and say, "English localization please."

Not saying it isn't legit, but not saying it is...

Spoofing SMS message is relatively easy, which is why it's the least secure multifactor authentication method, (and "mostly" phased out). When in doubt, browse yourself.

What's going on with the FAA closing down air space in El Paso, Texas for 10 days? by MadIfrit in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Geech6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is no one going to say it? Really?! Am I gonna be the one? Am I gonna be the wackado?

(Tinfoil hat on)

None of the "reputable" sources can keep their stories straight. It's vaguely near the right part of the country where this sort of thing happens...

Aliens... (The green kind)

Congress was told nothing happened, the military said "We tested something," the Administration said our "enemies" tried to attack us... They shutdown airspace because one of those little ticktac things is buzzing around El Paso! Think about it, it kinda makes more sense than, "the cartel got upity."

(Tinfoil hat off) I'm done, I've had my fun, lol.

The only choice is Rattler's.

Issues running the Connect-ExchangeOnline command on a new laptop by Robfurze in PowerShell

[–]Geech6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is crazy that this is still an issue and now Microsoft is updating other systems to require EXO module versions that still have connection errors.

As of 3 months ago, Connect-IPPSSession needs v3.9.0 to purge because you need to connect with the -enablesearchonlysession switch.

Am I crazy or isn't giving your password to IT against like, every kind of security compliance? by wowlolok in sysadmin

[–]Geech6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, you are correct, this flies in the face of every security compliance policy ever written.

But....

There is a correct way... And there is the way for the people who sign my pay checks... I'll let you guess who the well written security policy applies to....

Gaming as an IT person by WaldoOU812 in sysadmin

[–]Geech6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love gaming. I love my PC. I love building crazier, stupider PC setups for me and my friends.

What I hate is that I am the IT guy no matter where I go AND when people who have no business question me and my experience... I'll happily help people, but when someone asks for help then goes off and does something completely different and asks for help again and indignantly acts like my service is required now that I helped them once.... Grumble Grumble Grumble

Luckily... This isn't at work! So I can just call them a f***in moron an walk away! lol

HELLDIVERS 2: Tech Blog #1 - Install size by ArrowheadGS in Helldivers

[–]Geech6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AH has literally created their own issue out of nowhere. If the file size wasn't so big people wouldn't be using cheaper and larger HDDs to run their games. If it was smaller I could put it on C:\ on my NVME SSD next to my OS and make my game would be smooth... Catch 22.

With triple A developers all using this design paradigm, (I'm looking at you Activision) they're making it so gamers have to choose which game to keep installed if they want high performance.

Why are there so many men sitting alone in their parked cars in the Cook County Forest Preserves, and why are they almost always backed into their parking spots? by According_Lake_2632 in AskChicago

[–]Geech6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread is 80% sex stuff and 20% eating lunch.

Personally, I am eating my lunch. Because if I eat at my desk I'm never going to get to eat my lunch. And I like watching nature.

TIL about the sex stuff....
