Unless most “relevant” answers point to a Microsoft help forum with shit answers.

I have to use windows for work and I hate this bullshit.

Links means Left in german. Same pronunciation. Bilingual play on words if you will.

Heretic with Box Jades here. They’re awesome for typing and waking my neighbors up at 3AM.

Ok, opposite take.

Somebody with business knowledge with just enough technical Excel knowledge to cobble together a 5000 lines monstrosity of unreadable, unmaintainable python+pandas workbook that needs 2 painful hours of single-threaded processing time each run, with zero understanding of general development best practices, technical or organizational constraints, who asks us tu put their shitstain straight in production today because our fucking moron of a manager told them so.

Said shitstain could have been replaced by a 2h workshop and a couple of sql queries.

Said shitstain crashed almost daily in production. The running costs alone would have been offset in a month by a 1 week refacto.

Fuck this place. I’m glad I left before becoming insane.

I’ve successfully used Anyconnect for years in a dedicated Windows VM. However I only used it to connect to a Remote Desktop so performance was a non-issue.

Based as fuck.

Sure you’re absolutely free to do as you please ;)

From personal experience tho, anything connected to the TV should Just Work^TM. Nothing more frustrating than just wanting to watch an episode or play a quick game before going to bed and having to spend this time doing updates and maintenance instead.

As this is for a HTPC, I would rather go for uBlue Bazzite instead of Nobara. Same Fedora base, super gaming oriented too, but atomic/immutable so 0 maintenance.

Plus, uBlue projects are not distros but an alternative build pipeline system for Fedora Atomic projects. That means that the projects scope is tiny and much easier to maintain, and that the real distro maintainers are still the Fedora team. From a user perspective, it’s much better than a single-person effort like Nobara.

Installing Fedora. I had almost nothing to configure, it worked out of the box. How frustrating! I had the whole day planned and now what? Enjoy my free time like a pleb !?!

(/s just in case anyone was wondering)

I’ve watched videos and ordered the right type of connector. It doesn’t seem so hard with flood soldering techniques.

Fortunately the break is clean and happened on the connector’s legs, so the traces are unharmed. I think the hardest part will be to remove the remnants left on the traces.

My work keyboard has a cheap magnetic cable so I can easily plug and unplug it (I’m not leaving a custom mech unsupervised a work!). It indeed takes most of these strain.

Substituted a knife for the spoon and caulk for peanut butter. Awful taste, horrible recipe. Do not recommend. Would put zero stars but it won’t let me.

Makes sense, I think most users I’ve seen are french speakers. Which org?

Edit: nvm I found them, it’s Les Soulèvements de la Terre. Thank you!

There are two types of scrum masters. Those who are true believers in agility, and those who think it’s just a fancy bullshit name for “project manager”. The latter tend to be the the fucking worst, unfortunately they’re the most common breed.

Truth is, a real “scrum master” (or “agile coach” for SAFe 6 people) is at best a part time job, and has only two purposes. With experience and knowledge, help the team towards making their job easier/faster/more interesting/more predictable/more serene through continuous improvement using agile methods as a toolbox (and NOT a fucking dogma), and tell idiotic managers who can’t fucking anticipate a fucking deadline more than 3 days in advance to fuck off and stop being fucking morons teach managers to respect agile principles and have a clear short- and medium-term vision so their needs can comfortably fit the team’s backlog without jeopardizing the team, other priorities or the deadlines.

The other breed are fucking corporate yes-men who shove work over capacity onto the team and play make-believe-scrum by focusing exclusively on bullshit rituals that serve no actual fucking purpose.

Came here to post that.

On my previous laptop, the trackpad had a bug that made it spam interrupts after waking up from sleep. It ruined battery life and basically kept one core at 100% permanently.

So I duct-taped a systemd script that unbound and bound the trackpad after each wake up.

Just tried 100% + large text on Gnome, it feels much better than 125% scaling, thanks for letting us know it’s a possibility!

After spending a few months on the FW16, going back to a 16:9 laptop feels… wrong. Like there’s a ton of vertical space missing. Everything except watching movies benefits from a little bit more vertical space.

Wait, it didn’t work? I use Apple Maps all the time in DDG
