Sounds like a military thing? Not a normal US civilian worker phrase.

There are people that use Firefox who also get served ads?

It’s an office chair, for sure.

Client: “How much is this disaster recovery plan going to cost me?”

Me: “A hell of a lot less than when you don’t have (valid, tested) backups and need them”

I, too, have had the audacity to say WSL is useful on this community and it was also met with down votes. Purists hating and gate keeping, and then they wonder why Linux isn’t more popular.

Customer: Why is there so much latency over my tunnel from us-east to us-west?

Me: checks latency seems pretty normal, what’s the issue?

Customer: The latency is too much. Why is it not as fast as us-east-1 to us-east-2?

Me: They are near each other. Us-West is across the entire United States

Customer: Make faster

Me: This is the speed of light. And over copper it’s about 2/3 that

Customer: hmm are you sure that’s as fast as it can go?

Me: Well, unless we change the laws of physics your not going to get any better latency

OSX offers both case sensitive and case insensitive filesystems

Pay: $40,000 - $250,000 (based on experience and qualifications)

Which just reiterates the initial point, communication solves this.

‘hey guys, so, basically we can’t get your bags on the plane lolol wanna still go? Stay on the plane. Umad? Get off and get a refund’

Wow. Hard stuff.

Lol as if people have a choice and there isn’t a monopoly on ISP coverage

Depending on the nature of the work and security protocols it isn’t the WTF. When you’re working, on your work device, on the work network, there is zero assumption of privacy (and there really shouldn’t be). The company wants to maintain it’s security and so it is ensuring it is aware of things happening on its network.

It’s not necessary for everyone everywhere but it has valid use case that isn’t some mega shady weird thing.

Especially since quantum threading individual tabs, I’ve never really had an issue with Firefox performance.

Individual site performance and things like DNS over https and ddos mitigation add more latency than anything I’ll notice from the browser level. And I’m happy to wait an extra second if it means having more control of my data and my privacy.

For the ‘average’ user you’re suggesting to be helping none of these are remotely difficult to address…

“I’m confused about antivirus,” Windows handles it

“I keep forgetting to check on updates for the program I use so much,” The apps you use will ask to update when you use them

“I’m unsure if I’m on the correct site to download an exe file from,” The website for the application

“I keep getting ads in my taskbar,” Disabled in literally 3 seconds at install and never think about it again (yeah it’s dumb it happens at all, fine)

“I was going to find a different browser to use but my computer dissuaded me from doing so,” getfirefox.com. install & run. Click set default browser when it pops up.

If you can’t answer a simple one sentence answer to an easy question I don’t think it’s Windows fault. I say this as somehow who has helped tech illiterate people of all sorts on Windows, Linux, and Unix systems over the past 25+ years.

Glad she’s okay, she looks very sweet! And yeah aside from mine being occasionally extra picky, the Merrick seems to be great grain free food

My cats pretended to like that Purrfect Bistro duck until I decided to buy two cases of it, now they won’t touch it. They love the beef but it’s been impossible to find for a few months now.
