This isn’t the first time they’ve had an ad supported Office for free. Anyone remember Office 2010 Starter, that shipped with only Word and Excel and also had a permanent ad banner.

Here I was thinking a new revision of Power over Ethernet was announced and I was thoroughly confused

For me, my default browser is LibreWolf with several privacy hardening extensions, but if I do come across a website that fails, my usual route goes LibreWolf > Firefox > Ungoogled Chromium

If it doesn’t work beyond that then I just won’t use the website.

This all happened two weeks before I started, so I don’t know the exact details. If it was set up the way I think it was, I’d say yes, the DC was in it’s own VM and then a separate VM would’ve been used as a NAS. Of course being hardware RAID the whole host server went down when that card failed.

They probably didn’t have a second DC set up due to the DEFCON 5 levels of “We can’t work!”

They were ultimately planning on going to the cloud anyway from what I heard and that catastrophe just accelerated that plan ahead

I got a server from ewaste because the RAID card did fail and having SAS drives they couldn’t even pull data from it with anything else. It was the domain controller and NAS so as you can imagine, very disruptive to the business. As they should they had an offsite backup of the system and so we just restored onto a gaming PC as a temporary solution until we moved them to M365 instead.

I just use software RAID on it now and so far so good for about 180 days.

Oh, was this why DuckDuckGo was down yesterday?

For the phone bit, I started off with really old smartphones like a Galaxy S1, but basically any old old phones are really built like mini laptops and are usually pretty modular as they weren’t often water resistant or actively anti-repair

However I fully get your point and fall into the same boat with cars

What’s the difference between Legal and Same-Sex Marriage categories?

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

23yo zoomer here. Like everyone else, I was stuck on the Michael Cera one for a while, but it was because I never heard of the guy and even after googling I didn’t realise he was in one of the other photos.

Gosh texting on the Nokia felt so normal and equally a nice reminder on how nice the mobile keyboards we have now are.

I’ve never heard of a boomerang, the comments here filled me in but I’m not an Instagram user.

The iPod was fucking magical by the way, always wanted one as a kid growing up, even begging my parents just for the nano but they didn’t see the value in that compared to the cheap knockoff MP4 players. I still want one nowadays but they’re all stupid expensive.

There’ll be a modloader in the next 5 years that will have you load .js scripts as mods

I mean the minute you see “Copilot bad, from windowscopilot[dot]news” should surely raise some flags

So I have been getting bored of Minecraft but felt like having a twist on my own new single player survival world.

So last week I started out in Minecraft 1.5.2, which was the version I started playing on, and I intend to slowly upgrade the world, along the way collecting mobs, blocks, items and world generation not possible in later versions (dubbed Discontinued Items).

My latest endeavour was actually switching to the 2013 April Fools version, Minecraft 2.0, and obtaining things like enchanted signs, creating setups for floating blocks (ladders, torches, floating sand/gravel, etc.), things that will survive the upgrade to 1.6.

Just a note to say that PolyMC has previously proven itself a troubled project, with the project owner Lenny at one point completely removing all other contributor’s access as he “purged the leftoids” (or something to that effect), and PrismLauncher is a fork made by those contributors

Hey, I just want to say you’re a real one for actually coming back with the Reddit comment and even a source essentially debunking what you said. This is why I love Lemmy, thank you.

I did a quick bit of research on this, and I wasn’t really able to find anything to corroborate this. I’d be interested to know if there is a proper source to this though

Edit: there can be some concern for those metal particles, although this is no different for any metal dust by the looks of things https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/do-old-hard-drives-contain-toxic-materials.1623183/#post-11646780

I mean you could easily get a cheap cabled headset to use with it.

I still have a early 2000s (I think that’s the era anyway) LaserJet 2200dn and it’s done nothing of that sort, even on my spare actual Windows XP laptop. Insanity that their more consumer brand printers had those problems by '07

I’m not sure what does and doesn’t control it, but I’ve installed nano on some Linux distros and it has no syntax highlighting at all, then other distros (currently using LMDE) just have it by default.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the error messages are in Rust though on compile time. I agree that having an IDE flag them before I compile is much better though.
