For real, installing Linux nowadays is pretty painless for the most part, windows has this 27 stage process for opting out of a online account.

Like both have issues, you’re just used to the windows issues, but those are progressively getting more intrusive.

Eh crunchyroll killed animelab which was a better service all round, I guess what goes around comes around.

What are you using now? I’ve been thinking of switching to popos but I’m keeping my eyes open for options.

Good fucking luck, the hardware will likely be a 2022 tablet if the switch is anything to go off of. Considering as well the console will likely have similar architecture, and switch emulators already exist, I’d give it about 3 months.

100% agree. I haven’t been on the backend of managing crowdstrike so I don’t know if this is a option, but running a wsuz server and manually weeding out bad updates was such an improvement over rawdogging windows updates.

Gonna try my best here:

Crowdstrike is an anti-virus program that everyone in the corporate world uses for their windows machines. They released a update that made the program fail badly enough that windows crashes. When it crashes like this, it tries to restart in case it fixes the issue, but here it doesn’t, and computers get stuck in a loop of restarting.

Because anti-virus programs are there to prevent bad things from happening, you can’t just automatically disable the program when it crashes. This means a lot of computers cannot start properly, which means you also cannot tell the computers to fix the problem remotely like you usually would.

The end result is a bunch of low level techs are spending their weekends manually going to each computer individually, and swapping out the bad update file so the computer can boot. It’s a massive failure on crowdstrikes part, and a good reason you shouldn’t outsource all your IT like people have been doing.

I’m amazed gen z is watching any amount of broadcast tv at all. I’m a millennial and my tv hasn’t been hooked up to an aerial since 2009.

Type I best. I don’t have anything to back that up but also it does stay in pretty good and it’s my one so yeah

Any recommendations for a beginner or hobbiest? I’m going to assume it goes beyond writing more performant code

That sucks my dude, it sounds like some really shitty people ruined something you liked. So far I’ve found that the only way to protect yourself against that stuff is to set healthy boundaries. It doesn’t have to be rude, but unfortunately some people see it that way. It’s a rough time.

I think it’s nice of you not to be mean. The industry turned me a bit mean as a defence against people constantly shoveling more work onto me. Try to protect it if you can! I miss my lack of mean dearly.

Nah fuck you I laughed

We’re already riding it it I reckon. Should be like a deep breath out, but I think we’ll eventually recover.

That’s a good tip, it probably can but I’ll need a bit of learning to figure it out. The Linux audio situation is a hell of a learning curve sometimes.

Would love to use it, it has the incorrect channel map for my surround sound system which apparently cannot be changed like it can in pulse? After that gets sorted then sure.
