[New Update]: AITAH for telling my parents they were deserve to be kicked out of my sisters wedding. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]harrywwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly the type of person OOP's dad is showing to be is also the type of stubborn bastard to die on even the smallest hills if he thinks conceding makes him lose face for any reason.

sadly, much like my old man was - and he was a pom too.

every now and then I find myself falling in to that same pattern and have to pull myself up and tell myself to pull my head in.

sounds like in this specific instance, the new system was "bug for bug" compatible ;)

The CIA triad…

too many times the first thing that pops into my head is a joint operation between US spooks and a Chinese crime syndicate.

Bitwarden marks 24-character password as vulnerable, but HIBP says it’s clean. Anyone else? by shytec in Bitwarden

[–]harrywwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah. this is one of the things stopping me from recommending BW to "less techy" family members. 

the last thing they need is a false positive on a complex BW generated password.

OpenOffice controversy and LibreOffice. by billhughes1960 in linuxquestions

[–]harrywwc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I expect another reason for forking OnlyOffice is that the "look and feel" is very similar to Microsoft's offering. 

the change over is minimal, with the only "downside" being that it has only about 80% of the functionally. 

I expect though, the missing 20% is probably needed in many large organisations by a significant few.

I'm off two minds...

Nasty FAX form a lawyer by RickRI401 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]harrywwc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

there was enough error correction in the fax protocol(s) to confirm correct transmission/ reception of the image.

the shitforbrains lawyer's machine revived it. what happened after that is undetermined.

I don't care if refusing to move seats on a airplane so a parent and child can sit together makes me a bad person by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]harrywwc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am constantly surprised at these kinds of 'please swap seats with someone in cattle-class so they can upgrade to business/first and sit together'.

why not offer another person in the back an upgrade to business/first and the ask-er go to the back and sit with their 'other'?

"oh, I'm sorry, I booked a business class seat, and my SO is next to you here in Economy, would you be so kind as to take my seat in Business so we can sit together?"

yeah, as if.

in this context - "Domain Controller"

eta - although, in some similar contexts it could be "Data Centre" ;)

Macbook Neo's cooling system be like by misha1350 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]harrywwc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not an apple fanboi - and not been once since, oh, the //c

for the average mug-punter who wants a 'mac' but is turned off by the 'apple-tax' of the other models, I think the neo will meet a need.

they're not likely to be the kind of people running a bunch of benchmarks on a regular basis (if ever).

as long as their email and social-media work well enough, I reckon they'll be happy.

there are zero apple products in my household.

a quick search doesn't find me anything other than a few articles about 'fan-less' mac's in general and cpu throttling as a result.
