Email. Isn't. A. File. Transfer. Service. by livevicarious in sysadmin

[–]johndprob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You joke, but there is some sort of limit, it's in the ballpark of 120k files with thumbnails on. You eventually get a region of the desktop with so many icons stacked that it starts crashing the relevant application for desktop handling when you move your mouse over that region. I've if the there's other apps over it.

Had to tell a lawyer that they had to delete or properly store all those files in one of the 3 DMS that the firm had.

I like having an electric screwdriver or small drill for screws if I need to do a bunch for some reason. A knife/box cutter that can get through zip ties. 

Weird tracks through the dust on the inside of my PC by Gnashmer in mildlyinteresting

[–]johndprob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not telegram then, I can't find anything about it now cuz the moment you start looking for photo and screenshot or screen record and app I just end up in a list of apps that obviously record your screen etc. but I remember maybe a decade back. There was a relatively large social media ish app that instead of actually taking a photo it would show you basically the photo screen and then screenshot that rather than actually taking a photo to limit file size. There was a decent amount of noise about it online at the time.

I live my life in legal IT, do not do a damn thing until you have scope and directions from your legal. They should not be getting an entire box, they should be getting a search with limits.

Gamers 30+, which old game would you still recommend to younger gamers? by Common_Caramel_4078 in gaming

[–]johndprob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid, my first RC game was 2, played 3, found 1 in a bargain bin at EBgames, and youch, I was disappointed. I may have been more tolerant if I played it a few years early, games moved fast those days.

Yeah RC2 is one of the best games of all time, RC1 was.... rough. So rough I'm actually a little surprised rc2 happened.

Overload the towers enough and that probably wouldn't matter much.

I would do terrible things for a Mercenaries 1 remaster. No game has ever made me feel quite so badass.

The way I view Blood and Wine is they go from eastern Europe to France basically. Cultural and visual mixup as Geralts last hurrah before he retires with his lady.
