@miaaowing Welp, guess you're a bit screwed on that front. DisplayLink is just not a great experience, especially with the latency it has

i will be daily driving the MacBook Neo for the next two weeks, professionally. I work in IT, and need to decide whether the Neo will be a viable device long-term. I will try to document all of my thoughts about it, bar usual MacOS bullshit

Roundabouts save lives time and money. Roundabout haters don’t know ball.

Roundabouts are terrible and un-American.

@HSVSphere Unfortunately sometimes it also sees itself and gets confused

When your Mac connects to a network, it first checks if the name it wants is taken in mdns by sending a broadcast DNS query. If it is taken, it tries again with a different name until it finds one that's free.
Avahi on Linux and Bonjour on MacOS handle RFC 6762 nicely

I connected to some WiFi and macOS alerted me that it had had to rename my Mac from "MacBook Pro (2)" to "MacBook Pro (3)" due to a name clash on the network. But why was my Mac the one that got renamed? There must be a hidden heuristic to decide which is the dominant Mac.

@thiojoe @DylanMcD8 "For the sixth year in a row, THIS truly is THE best iPhone we've ever made... No the DEFINING iPhone. In fact, future ones will be worse so buy this one!"

@DylanMcD8 Could this mean it will be the best iphone they’ve ever made?

@michgold1 @LinkofSunshine They wouldn't be using a flipper to steal a modern car...lol
English
@LinkofSunshine A crowbar is large and loud. Not quite as effective if you want to steal a car and get away quietly
English
Flipper Zero discourse is so funny because it basically just has the technical powers of a crowbar
"It can break into a car/house/garage!!!!!!"
so can a crowbar
𝟴-𝗕𝗜𝗧™@The8bitidiot
If you have a Flipper delete all your tweets about it. Just had Feds at my door again and they wanted to know what I was doing with it. They pulled up a tweet from LAST YEAR joking that I was going to intercept Amazon Drones.

@kanigtmare @uwunetes just stick to sheets/excel, i've tried many different alternatives and they're all pathetic

Honestly, which ecosystem do you enjoy using the most?

@LeakerApple Not a fan of ads in Google Maps, definitely not needed in Apple Maps either. Poor take from you
English
Stupid take.
Ads in Apple Maps will work the same way they do on Google Maps.
You search for pizza shops -> Pizza shop ad appears near the top.
Monetising Apple Maps will actually incentivise Apple to put more resources into it. I hate ads as much as anyone, but if it's done tastefully it doesn't bother me.
Tuki@TukiFromKL
🚨 Do you understand what Apple just did.. the company that built its entire brand on "we don't sell ads.. we sell products".. is now putting advertising inside Apple Maps.. Steve Jobs stood on stage and said the iPhone was about the user experience.. no distractions.. "it just works".. now you're going to get a McDonald's ad while you're trying to not miss your exit.. Apple charged you $1,200 for the phone.. $100/year for iCloud.. $10/month for Apple Music.. $7/month for Apple TV.. and after all of that.. they still want ad money.. this is the same company that ran an entire ad campaign attacking Google for tracking you.. "privacy.. that's iPhone".. remember that?.. turns out privacy was just the sales pitch until they figured out how to sell you themselves.

@UnpaidNotDead @uwunetes Of course it's cross-platform and all that... but Linux support? Over a decade ago? Just insane
English
@UnpaidNotDead @uwunetes Softmaker is pretty decent. Found them through a ancient issue of Linux Admin magazine and was pleasantly surprised that I could use a commerical office suite on Linux
English
@DevBredda @sidharthify @uwunetes Having administrated both Microsoft and Google Workspace, M$ just isn't easy to manage at all. Easy for end-users? Sure I can agree.
Having to click through 3-5 admin panels just to get information or troubleshoot account issues is not fun on the M$ side though
English
when considering IT, you would notice that the reason why big corp use microsoft is due to their enterprise solution.
its the best to manage and easiest compared to the rest on the list.
so if your company has a lot of employees (500+) which are around the world too, then you would be using microsoft...

@YourWaifu How to get banned from visiting my house, having charges pressed for property damage, and a stern "you had your fun, now get the FUCK out of my house"

@EggOfYourDemise @LavenderLovetap @MadsPosting Unfortunately lawmakers and legal precedent disagree for better or for worse

@2Heavensgaming @DEAADSEAA No. This is the default behavior since Windows 8. When you click shutdown, it closes out the userspace apps, keeps the drivers and background applications loaded, then hibernates.
Users think shutting down works like it did in Windows 7: where it closes all that and turns off
English
@kanigtmare @DEAADSEAA "In their mind" is your company doing the microsoft hammer restart or something?
English
@LickyOnMyBlick @InternetH0F The issue is when it turns into menial busywork paired with other forms of it assigned by other teachers with unrealistic deadlines and the assumption that none of the others would do the same.
It ends up perpetuating a cycle where grades slip because the kid needs sleep
English
@InternetH0F Homework is meant to be review of the material they’re currently studying, and to do problems over and over. Repetition is the key to success. If i do addition/subtraction problems over and over for an hour, i’m gonna do better at maths than the kids who didn’t do that
English
@2Heavensgaming @DEAADSEAA In their mind, shutting down and turning the computer back on is restarting. Unfortunately, thanks to Fast Boot, it hibernates the computer instead of shutting down, so it's got the fun effect of allowing issues to manifest and not get resolved by something most people do
English
@DEAADSEAA "I can remote over, while I get that pulled up have you tried restarting?"
"Duh of course I have"

@EggOfYourDemise @LavenderLovetap @MadsPosting Keep in mind that similar arguments against UAC were made when M$ implemented it. What do very few people do these days? Bypass the UAC prompts...
English
@EggOfYourDemise @LavenderLovetap @MadsPosting Unfortunately it's to protect idiots from themselves. Having to wait isn't really all that more difficult, sure it's a barrier, but it's not hard to get around.
It's possible to not be a fan of it, but simultaneously understand the logic behind why the decision was made
