  • Well this thread is going in my saved list.

    For me, it's an odd one, but my love of jets means that Van Halen - Dreams is my all time favorite video.

    I remember sitting around watching MTV just waiting for it to come on. Other distinct memories from that era.

    Van Halen - Panama
    Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue

    And just some random picks of mine:

    Alice In Chains - Them Bones
    Tool - Vicarious
    Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
    Herbie Hancock - Rockit

  • You are missing something here. FTA "Alarmo will also let users check Records to get data on how much they move around while sleeping." You are paying to have a device in your kids room that will monitor their actions and report back to Nintendo. I am sure they will be completely transparent with what they do with that data.

  • I don't care if you play the game, or what you play it on. I have plenty of other systems that I could purchase this on. I have basically every Xbox console generation since the original, and a Nintendo Switch. So while I could be getting this or other rockstar games on multiple systems, I choose not to due to their actions. You play whatever you want on whatever you want.I would hope that as gamers we could muster up some solidarity against companies doing things like they did. Because sure it might be "insert os here" that they blocked this time, but it might be "your os" that they deem unworthy next time.

  • Awww, sorry rockstar but due to your fucking of linux users with GTA Online, I won't be spending any money on your products. I am sure this will mean nothing and no one will care, but I figured I would say it anyway.

  • Not sure what it runs natively, but I just set out to use a rpi to replace a machine I moved to another room. Just need it to run a browser and at most watch youtube videos. My rpi2 definitely wasn't up to the task, so I went to a rpi 3b and unfortunately it isn't up to the task either as the browser quickly chewed up all 1gb of ram and then used the 1gb of swap to where it came to a grinding halt even trying to open youtube. Plugged in a rpi4 with 8gb of ram and it seems to be doing the job. I have a rpi4 with 4gb, but didn't even bother trying it. Resolution didn't seem to be the issue for me, it was space, and possibly sd card speed, but I wasn't going to fiddle with it too much. The rpi4 is working good and I am typing this reply on it.

  • Honestly that's a lot of windows users. I have to deal with it at work because we are 'a microsoft shop'. Ughh. I am in a relationship that I cannot get out of, sort of an arranged marriage. Retirement can't come soon enough.

  • Will make all the files in the path owned by you. Be careful if you have more complex permissions on there they will be lost.

    This is where ACL permissions would help. He could give his new id ACL permissions to the files and that wouldn't mess with the current permissions.

    From the root/beginning subdir: sudo setfacl -R -m u:{replace with your new id}:rwx .

  • If Linux cannot help me do them then in what way is it a widely suitable mass operating system as proponents are constantly claiming instead of merely a hobby tool that can do a very limited range of things.

    Not sure what you mean by this as I have used tons of linux machines to earn a living for the last 20 years or more. Just because you haven't delved into it doesn't mean it is just a hobby tool. No offense, but if that is your attitude towards this then it might be best to not switch. Things might not always be up to par with what you are used to, but I have seen some pretty cringy things go on in current mainstream windows. Try having an issue with onedrive and asking the team supporting it to help. First step is to reboot. If that doesn't work they uninstall then reinstall. If that doesn't work, well then I guess you are out of luck. When I asked them about anything in the log files, all I got was blanks stares. My point is, windows isn't some pristine environment with no flaws that we should all strive to reach, it has it's own issues.

    For instance, your Notepad++ question. I know you don't want to use multiple tools to replace it, but I would venture to guess that the work I do daily, I would probably come up with solutions using vi, sed, and awk on the command line just as fast as you could using the gui. The thing is, I have been doing it for so long it's just second nature to me. Would I want to switch to Notepad++, no.

    Maybe come up with some examples of what you do in Notepad++ and people can give you alternative solutions.

  • I guess it depends on where you work. This was a large datacenter for a very large health insurance company. They made it a point later that day to remind people that it was a fireable offense to mess with production machines like that on purpose. And evidently the service he disabled was critical enough that it didn't take long for the hammer to come down. There were plenty of ways to find out who owned the machine, he just chose the easiest and got fired on the spot for it.

  • A guy in our data center couldn't figure out who owned a particular machine that he needed to work on. So his solution to figure it out was to let them come to him. He went and pulled out the network cable and waited. He was escorted out a little while later. The moral of the story is don't go disabling production machines on purpose.
