Microsoft is shit.
But, if you have an estate of Windows servers, you have to deal with them anyway.

Always found the therac story fascinating, I don't know why. Some of the bugs were really basic and terrible, but it's the way the machine had the hardware interlocks costed away and the response of aecl that was especially bad.
Highly recommend going in to it for anyone who hasn't.
I do wish we had the source code.
I don't live in the US, and I wasn't going for particular analysis of Trump, I just find the idea that we should tell large groups of people 'that their voices will not be heard' a dangerous way to start going.
I find it all rather absurd. Surely if there were good opponents then nobody would still be talking about him.
It beggars belief that all these years on, the media still can't get away from Trump. Their constant coverage is surely feeding in to the hype, intentionally or otherwise.
Those things are already prone to setting on fire, without the threat of thin and cheap USB cables charging them.
Sometimes you just need to accept you're dealing with a segment that can't be trusted, and ensure the cables are beefy and not interchangeable for the sake of it, without any fun protocols causing issues.
We have connectors that are designed to take such loads, like the XT- connectors commonly used in battery charging for RC cars and drones and whatever.
Well, yes. Every bolt will have a torque spec, and it will undoubtedly have to be tested and logged.
That clearly hasn't been done.
My brother puts up information displays (wall mounted and floor mounted) and every bolt has to be tested for pull out strength. These are just displays. Not aeroplanes.
Clearly those involved in assembly are guilty of negligence of the highest order, but it could be a whole company ethos, it's hard for outsiders to know.
I've looked at the door design and it seems decent, it would need to be mounted incredibly poorly to pose a risk, which is what has clearly happened.
Especially primary education? Care?
You can find all kinds of examples where there's "imbalance", but the reality is, maybe people don't want to be forced around in to roles they don't fancy, just to balance a spreadsheet somewhere.
I don't think there's anything inherently anti-female about IT. My wife doesn't work in IT as such, but she works in a deeply technical role, and writes documentation using a markup language (DITA) and has a lot of 2D and 3D cad experience. She wants to do that, but not a lot of females necessarily want to.
Maybe we shouldn't go looking for problems where there aren't necessarily any. But I get it, it's easier to just blame soft targets and prattle on about nothing than actually tackle real issues affecting females today (or any other group, for that matter).
It shouldn't be possible. The device is on-prem, all the data is on-prem.
Ubiquiti should be providing a proxy to your device, using encryption that is only ever accessible from your account to the devices that match, your device should be rejecting all connections which don't have the appropriate key.
The fact this clearly isn't happening is insanity.
They need to do a total rethink of their security model. This has made me immensely distrustful of them, and I'll have to take measures.
That generation of laserjet was so good, and so easy to maintain. Designed to be maintained, no less.
I know people rave about the laserjet 4, but that's nostalgia speaking, the 4000 series was absolutely miles ahead, and would still be a decent printer today. The 4 is just too slow.
It's huge, and there's no headphone jack. It's also quite expensive.
If they could make a smaller version (preferably no bigger than 140x70), with a headphone jack and two physical SIM card slots, i'd be interested.
One physical SIM and e-SIM is no good for me. Oh well.
This whole thing about phones needing to be huge to have big batteries is a lie. A Xiaomi Redmi 4X is 139x70x9 and has a 4100 mAh battery. And it has a headphone jack. and an IR blaster.
Heck, my RAZR MAXX HD is 136x68x9 and has a 3300 mAh battery. I miss its form factor badly.
It also doesn't need to be huge to have a removable battery and two physical SIMs and a microSD. A Galaxy XCover 5 is 147x71 and has a removable 3000 mAh battery (I admit, that's small, especially compared to the previous two examples with fixed batteries), but it has a headphone jack, two SIM slots and a microSD slot.
