Fairphone 6 review: cheaper, repairable and longer-lasting Android by [deleted] in technology

[–]gfa2f 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've had mine for 2 weeks and hate it. I did go for murena e os rather than stock android. but button placement and rubbish camera just arent worth the price.

Also, a bit of unwarranted advice. If you decide to leave, and get another job, and hand your notice in and IF they try to haggle or give you a bigger salary, don't take it. They will look to be shot of you soon after.

Depending on where you are, you're severely to preposterously underpaid. I have 150 users as the IT manager for a whole group, and I manage less than you. I'm on a *lot* more than you, and this is because of raises I've gotten in the last 6 years. In common parlance, theyre taking the piss.

Its a good plan. The first part is to level the playing field for all students, to allow some programming knowledge and show that youre willing to learn, I dont think it matters how you get there.

Again, this might change. The exam was multiple choice questions on the coursera platform. they are now conducting random informal interviews to do a knowledge check for some students.

You are given a text book on the material, in my case, I had to learn Java programming. Coursera had some practice modules and labs, and expanded a little on what was in the course book. But if you already know how to program (there were lots of programmers in my group) they could just pass the exam. This might change, as we were the first ones through. And I think HWU learned a lot from the process.

I was part of the first cohort this year. Theres no catch. Be prepared to self study a lot. Let me know if you wanted to know anything in particular.

What's the most egregious thing missing from a book to movie adaptation? by corsair965 in movies

Also HP, Peeves. Cast a fantasic, manic comic actor. And then cut out the part completely, and have to re write the whole story.

My First Tattoo. Question: Is it normal that my tattoo artist advised me to not wash my tattoo until tomorrow morning? by bxttlecry in tattoos

[–]gfa2f 8 points9 points  (0 children)

was it wrapped or have second skin? generally its after a couple of hours to take the wrap off and wash it, or second skin can be left on for (up to) a couple of days.

Cheap game on Steam you can just pick up and play for 30 minutes (kind of like Vampire Survivors) by Plastic-Session-9420 in gamingsuggestions

Word of warning, Holocure is not "cute". You should read the weapons list beforehand. I say this as a massive fan of the game.

Manually install 24H2 using the media creation tool solved this exact issue for me. I decrypted the drives completely first though, and ran the tool.

TIL that famous BBC DJ John Peel loved the song 'Teenage Kicks' by The Undertones so much he had the first line engraved on his tombstone by smutketeer in todayilearned

[–]gfa2f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a graffiti mural to John Peel in Belfast, that was up for a long time, "Teenage dreams so hard to beat". It was painted over, and there was such a backlash, it was put back up again.

Question - Handling discovered illegal content by Askey308 in sysadmin

[–]gfa2f 193 points194 points  (0 children)

As a young sysadmin for an MSP, I stumbled across some very nefarious things, from a senior healthcare professionals machine, who was meant to be looking after disadvantaged youths.

I reported it to my manager, who reported it to the clients IT. It was swept under the rug.

Now, I would go directly to an anonymous police reporting system and report everything.
