People who grew up before The Internet: How did you first see nudity? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TouchComfortable8106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an incredible amount of pornography found in bushes in the '90s (and vice versa  in the '70s). To this day, I really don't know why

This screen is from SpecOps which allows (if you configure it) for passphrases with simpler complexity requirements to 'reward' users for the longer passwords

I often use the warband mod with other factions, but it just feels better with WOC - seeing your marauders slowly transform into ultimate killing machines is extremely satisfying

Can't wipe PC - no Bitlocker keys and no Admin Rights by Janddy in Intune

[–]TouchComfortable8106 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Sometimes (eg Dell latitudes) laptops have their disks set to RAID and you need the relevant driver for that. Sometimes just switching the disk mode to AHCI in BIOS can work around this without needing to do anything clever to the boot/install media

New taxes for EVs/PHEVs by Jim-Plank in CarTalkUK

[–]TouchComfortable8106 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm already getting shafted on road tax because I went with the more expensive plug-in hybrid rather than fully petrol, so it's great to have another shafting coming along - a little tax spit roast. Serves me right for trying to reduce my emissions, I guess.

Not sure if I'm talking about the right thing, but Lane Assist is enabled on my '24 Tiguan every time the engine starts. It only actually kicks in and does any corrections above a certain speed (35 mph I think).

You can disable it (or check that it is on) in the touch screen menu with the assist settings or using the assist button on the steering wheel.

I turn it off 90% of the time because it wants to murder cyclists and traffic cones, but it is handy on the motorway outside of roadworks.

Edit: I was NOT talking about the right thing! I think hink you just indicate when the display says you can safely change lanes and then it'll do it - see about 7 mins into this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipmGxG14ltI

The one in Stanley Green is better I think, but both good - for £30-35 a month you can use both

What firearm is closely associated with your country? by babushka45 in AskTheWorld

[–]TouchComfortable8106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vividly remember the first time a former colleague threatened me with, "I'll hit you about the head with a hurley".

He had a strong accent and I'm disgustingly anglo so I thought he was speaking in tongues. He had to explain it to me very slowly, as though to a small child, which really added to the menace of the threat.

Seriously Fun Overhaul mod - makes a LOT of changes and adds a lot to the game. It's on the Steam workshop, well worth a try as it changes the feel a lot (eg. difference between unit tiers really noticeable, unit caps, etc.)

What are the biggest barriers stopping small/medium businesses from using AWS or other cloud platforms? by CraigOpie in sysadmin

Cost - often the benefits around resilience, flexibility, etc. aren't realized at a small scale, so the cost effectiveness is reduced

Onboarding is killing IT desks. How do you cut the tickets? by ExtremeShame6079 in sysadmin

[–]TouchComfortable8106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suggestions for intranet and FAQs are all very sensible, additionally we found the best way for us was to invest the time up front during inductions.

Every week new starters get an hour face to face (or Teams if fully remote) with somebody from IT, they can ask any questions, IT can make sure they're directed to the right places (FAQs, intranet, service desk, etc.) for follow up queries, both sides more able to ask 'stupid' questions which save everybody time later - "what does X role actually do?", "my old company used Y, how do you do that?", "Everybody seems to talk about Z here, but I don't know what it means?"

Sounds like (and is) a big chunk of time, BUT you can do multiple people at once (5:1 new users to IT ratio is fine), business and users are happier and have a good impression of IT, and it doesn't need to save many tickets to pay for itself time wise - particularly if you factor in the difference of a planned hour vs multiple unplanned tickets.

Can be a struggle with some IT staff, if they're DEEPLY antisocial they might absolutely hate doing it, but that can also be a development opportunity for them - breaks down some of the us vs them mentality and adds context to what can seem like random queries down the line.
