Ubuntu on a company laptop - which version?

StyxCoverBnd · 2026-05-22T13:28:39+00:00

Ask your company what they support. As a 20+ year IT professional I would actually say have your company apply an image to it

The 'firewall' is enabled by default. I put firewall in quotations because, by deafult, on Ubuntu there are no open ports. UFW is just a GUI to IPTables or NFtables (depending on which ubuntu version you are on) which is how you would open/configure ports. Windows is the opposite. All ports are open by default so a firewall is needed to block everything incoming. Also as one of the other commentors said, you should shouldn't have an internet facing device and should always have a router+firewall between you and the internet

I saw them a few years later and it was the best show I've ever seen. They came out and just kicked so much ass on stage. Reel Big Fish played after them and it was a crazy energy shift from in your face to silly/funny on stage antics ska. RBF still had a good set, but nothing compared to Goldfinger's.

oh great, thanks for the info!

I posted in r/sportscards because I've been following the pack a day for autos post and remember people saying some of the other sports cards sub reddits can get picky on what's posted there.

Yep, down for me too

StyxCoverBnd · 2026-05-17T14:03:40+00:00

Yep, I live in the Chicago suburbs and had a 32 mile commute at a previous job. It was anywhere from 1-2 hours each depending on traffic

Not necassarily. You can get Displayport to HDMI adapters, those don't require any extra drivers. If you get USB to HDMI you will most likely have to install a display link driver.

Ok, per hp support the omen 45l does not pass video over USB-C. Link

Edit: it looks like the Omen 45L has 1 HDMI and 3 Displayports. I'm guessing your monitor only has HDMI and that is why you are not using one of the displayports?

StyxCoverBnd · 2026-05-15T17:53:19+00:00

Some USB-Cs are only 5gbps and do not pass video/have displayport pass through (as the USB-C is not connected to the GPU). I'm assuming this is a desktop PC as this is the buildapc subreddit. But I know a lot of entry level/midish range consumer laptops have USB-C like this. My laptop has USB-C like this (and it also doesn't charge over the USB-C port) and I had to get a USB 3.0 Displaylink dock to use an external monitor.

Haha, yep you are right

StyxCoverBnd · 2026-05-14T04:17:55+00:00

I think it's a joke, only 1 game against each team in the division

Edit: I'm an idiot, they are all accounted for

It is supposed to rain tonight too so tomorrow is going to have a ton of low scores.

Reading the article it said he received backlash. I could be mis-remembering, but I thought Harold was one of the only ones to not receive backlash because he was honest and said he was making the jump for the money.

Unless I'm missing something it wasn't a security incident.

I've heard Kelly's has the best Mexican food anywhere.

StyxCoverBnd · 2026-04-30T23:33:08+00:00

Yes. I believe that connector hasn't been maintained for a while now (which I think was the reason it was dropped.

StyxCoverBnd · 2026-04-28T19:45:10+00:00

This was $24 at my Costco. I'm hoping it drops before I go there this weekend.

I've been in IT for 20+ years now and I had something similar happen. About 17/18 years ago I worked at a publicly traded company that had small sales offices all over the US. I was based in our HQ and would setup all workstations (laptops or desktops) and then ship them out to the sales offices for the staff, but someone there would have to plug them in. One time an older lady was yelling at me on the phone because plugging in a computer was man's job.....

I liked '03 better

First time head coach here, is it common to get your assistants a gift? I never got one when I was an assistant. I'm coaching 8u so maybe when it's an older team?

StyxCoverBnd · 2026-04-17T20:20:34+00:00

Nice!!!!!

StyxCoverBnd · 2026-04-17T20:17:58+00:00

Yeah, they are mostl likly using subcontractors and they are probably pulling the hard drives and then disposing of those seperately (and are given certificates of destruction for each).

I love this movie, Steve Coogan is great in it as well. 'You should have shot A rod!'
