While being forced to travel literal lightyears away from everyone they ever knew, and potentially outliving everyone they care about due to relativity shenanigans.

The default settings absolutely are not conpetent, espiecally for how messy computers for personal use get.
My workplace uses OneDrive to sync a specific set of user profile folders so we approximate having profiles and files that follow us without everyone needing a personal folder on a network drive that mounts at login.
The only issues we’ve had are profiles auto-downloading too mant of peoples files and eating drives on shared machines (so you just have your meeting room computers wipe all profiles every reboot and schedule reboots nightly), and I’ve had some issues where OneNote hadn’t actually synced the notebook back to the cloud before I closed on one machine and opened on a different machine so I lost some notes.
Beyond that, it’s handled even situations where I have the same file open siniltaneously on multiple machines smoothly. Syncs between login on multiple machines take 3 minutes max, and I can force it faster if I really need by pausing and resuming the sync.
I’m sure there’s situations it’s still not suited for, like editing and syncing large monolithic files (think video files over 1GB a piece). It probably sucks big time on personal machines where you’re going to have a complete mess of every file type imaginable tossed in one big unorganized heap.
But configured correctly, for general business use, it can work very well.
wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft just changed where your Word documents live — here’s why it mattersEnglish17·5 days agoI would be shocked if this hasn’t had some set of controls to disable it in Group Policy for months now.
This is just rent seeking against Home users.
People with One Drive through corporate Azure sjbscriptions (rather than the free “you have a microsoft login” tier) already have fairly robust controls available for handling and securing private data. There’s even special Azure tiers for government work that are even further secured.
This is only going to impact home users and conpanies without strong IT teams. Which is an egregious amount of people, don’t get me wrong. It’s also a horrible anti-consumer move. But this isn’t “Microsoft fucks over their golden calf: business users”.
wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Games@lemmy.world•Day 450 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playingEnglish4·5 days agoYou might like Mullet MadJack too, if you like frantic shooters with a “keep killing or die” element.
Completely different style, and no customization that I know of, it’s 90’s cyberpunk anime styled. Each level you have ten seconds until your heart stops. Each kill gets you more time, and flashier kills like melee finishers get you more, as in universe you’re doing some sort of livestream death game. At the end of each short level, in roguelike fashion, you get to pick one of a few randomly selected upgrades/powerups.
Look up some footage on youtube, it’s a lot cooler in motion than words can cover. But it’s definitely one to play with mouse and keyboard so you can do twitch movements fast.
wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•How do I fix this or Get rid of it?English61·7 days agoAI is not looked upon kindly in most places on Lemmy, for good reason.
Far as your problem goes, learn how to read? The error message doesn’t have too much extraneous shit in it.
Ignore the start part, as that’s clearly talking about the HTML, the building blocks of the site.
Quota exceeded in ‘storySoFar’. Whatever it’s storing as storySoFar is too big. You aren’t the developer, but that’s a pretty clear variable name. The story so far exceeds the quota. The story so far is too big.
I swear, reading error messages shouldn’t be a god damn super power. I’ve never used this slop generator in my life, I just read your error message.

wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptionsEnglish5·10 days agoSounds like it sucks at every level. From what I’ve dealt with on just software/drivers:
You want to use scan to email through anything that isn’t a fully open, no auth, anonymous SMTP relay? Go fuck yourself.
Wait… we changed our mind. We’ll totally support SMTP authentication, but with an arbitrary undocumented limit on the password length we can store, which is definitely shorter than the password length requirements for most SMTP relay suites. Certificates? Holy shit are you from the future?
Or you can scan to network share, but I hope you enjoy finding all the hidden catches and caveats that are completely undocumented!
You want an option so people have to log in at the printer itself to release their print job? Enjoy six different interfaces for five different underlying standards for how that works across two different manufacturers. And we reserve the right to just stop supporting that feature or change it entirely with any firmware or driver update. And if there’s a mismatch between the driver and firmware then we’ll just make the print spooler/job queue shit itself and require manual intervention to continue printing.
You want our driver to properly communicate to end user software the paper sizes it supports? If it supports double sided printing or not? How it will collate multiple copies? Man, we can’t even care enough to indicate to software if we’re Black and White or Color. Best we can do is completely ignore the options you picked through your software and our driver and just do whatever we think is best. That’s a good compromise, right?
For the price of these god damn enterprise mfds, there’s no excuse.

Some people involved with the Pirate Bay got into the BGP router for North Korea and made it look like they were hosted there for a while. Maybe you’re thinking of that?

But this is Google, they want to flex their analytics and get as much additional info on everyone as they can.

This is absurd. If pre-compilation or caching is needed, just fucking do it.
On top of what you said, that any company with the funds of Gearbox has no excuse for not being able to optimize it to happen during runtime without tanking FPS.

After the short term, or a scant few outstanding ones that stay with you, the only thing left long term is the brand recognition. That steers your choices when you buy things.
Put simply, people don’t have the mental capacity to keep a full list of every company that advertised to them in a shitty way in the front of their minds constantly, beside everything else required for daily life.
I think you considerably overestimate his level of influence. Just because Trump’s cult isn’t letting a good shooting go to waste doesn’t mean he was anywhere near as important or influential in life as they are acting like now.
