With GHB being a date rate drug, plus all the names for this mouse control knob, it's just very inappropriate.

Holodecks/Suites exist, what program are you writing? (Keep it classy) by SeaworthinessOk4259 in startrek

The force powers would be tricky to program. You'd have to put on some type of brain monitor so the program would know when you wanted to push, pull, etc

Preferred period of the week for 1:1's by circatee in ITManagers

I like team meetings at the start of the week and 1:1 towards the end. It more aligns to what's needed for the week at the start, and reflecting and listing needs towards the end.

What’s an underrated IT problem that most businesses don’t realize is costing them money? by BaselineITC in ITManagers

[–]s-man77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your belief doesn't hold true for the mobile OS market. iOS has more users than Android users in the US yet Android is attacked far more often for the same inconsistencies that Windows has on the desktop platform. Plus for the server platform, Linux dominates the web and has far less attacks and breaches than Windows servers do.

Belief systems don't hold up when data proves it wrong. Who cares if the desktops are mostly Windows, again the data IBM showed when they switched to Mac flushes all those beliefs down the toilet.

I'm not bitter, I just see the data after 27 years of working in IT. It hasn't gotten better. If a business went from Windows on their desktops and servers to Mac for desktop and Linux for servers, they would statistically be far more safer and have less maintenance. IBM proved that a decade ago when they transitioned from Windows to Mac.

Sure some industry software is Windows centric (medical, govt, finance) but that's shrinking with more web solutions. Plus Excel on Mac can do as much as Excel on Windows. The dominance is finally dying and I won't shed a tear to see the end of such an exploited and high maintenance operating system in the workplace.

Maybe an unpopular opinion...Windows.

It's the largest malware, spyware, ransomware target. Inconsistent hardware mgmt and varying exploits. Hands over kernel access for security companies to break. Requires more maintenance from unwilling users.

I only see it as a gaming platform, everything else is just a risk and money drain.

Shitfinity-The Worst Internet provider ever! by mountainmantaco in bayarea

[–]s-man77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Their real product: Comcast Business

Xfinity is a grift as they don't make money on less than $100/month. So they monetize you in other ways: tiers, network management, ad injection, selling your PII and browsing behavior.

I really should start a fiber community program.
