Tell me you have no idea how software development works without saying it…

If you play more regularly, you get quickly used to this message.

Maybe they should upgrade to support other OSes?

My daughter had to write a university paper once. They required two cameras to be running. One atop the screen like you use for meetings, and one showing the whole desk and the tested person.

Seems to be that learning sites in general are assholes. I once attended a language course, and while their “solution” was web based, it was focused on IE. I had serious issues attending the course under Firefox.

I logged a lot of errors on their site, but their tech support could only manage accounts, the web site had been built by an external company ages ago, and they had no fingers into that.

All while claiming they did “nothing” when they f-ed up themselves.

Around '98, a tech support guy got a call that their application didn’t work anymore. He tried to troubleshoot, but the system was a mess. “Did you change anything since yesterday?” - “No, we didn’t!”.

What they did do, though, was running the Win98 update the day before. Which, at one point, after doing lots of things, complained that it could not continue for some reason, and offered to “undo” the changes…

Pi5 with load - is good with small fan, yes.

It’s the SD cards that fail, usually. The RPi runs and runs and runs, at least the older models. The newer ones might die when the fan dies, or at least shut down.

Machine, software, peripheral, whatever.

If it does not work on Linux I simply won’t buy it.

If the judge thinks anonymization works this way, he or she is too incompetent to judge on this case.

They never do when it comes to the internet.

I’ve got a DELL server that I used as home server, but it was too loud. But it worked well, even at an advanced age. I moved the disks to a normal desktop machine (not DELL) that is much, much quieter.

I’m non-native (native German, learned English in school). Nearly everything I read or write is English, though, and I’ve probably read more English books than most of the native speakers.

Privacy first, but there is a file uploader? WTF?

They promise the file never leaves my device, but is there any way to verify it?

One of my schoolmate was a serious asshole. Our guesses for his future were either he’d be a lawyer, or he’ll make a career in the FDP (a more money for the rich kind of political party here, with a “liberal” label).

I was not surprised to learn that he is lawyer, working for exactly that party.

Windows user: “Whatever”, and keeps clicking around.

Network Administration.

If the network and servers all work: What are we paying you for?

If the network or one of the servers are down: What are we paying you for?

As soon as Windows is installed, Microsoft owns the computer.

Exactly that. Back then with the only usable Nvidia drivers being closed source it was a nightmare. Every bigger update ended in a shell from where I had to reinstall the official driver. I can understand and love open source, but this is sabotaging the own user base.
