Don't. It's evil. Even though you might like it, it's not worth the risk.
Holy cow, I hate rhubarb. We always had it in the garden and my grandma used to bake cakes with it. Thos sweet cakes would be sooo good, but that pos plant always ruined them to non-edible garbage. At least for me, some people like that taste, though. (Europe)
I'm no big fan of car games (unlike my brother), but I played tons and tons of Porsche Unleashed. Awesome game for sure.
It is possible. It's been some time, though, so can't be 100% sure.
I once met a Finnish and he gave me something like (salty?) liqorice candy. It was basically black jelly, shaped like small hockey puck. Pretty good.
It comes preconfigured in openSUSE and requires 0 skill.
Screw Dota, this must mean Half Life 3! Or at least HL2 Episode 3...
Snapper for the rescue! Again. I still don't get how everyone else ignores this awesome piece of software?!
That's what we're using now and where quite some problems come from. I don't have anything against it, it's awesome suite for personal use, but running it in company we constantly run into problems with compatibility. Every partner we're dealing with is using MS Office and when they're exchanging spreadsheets or documents with us it's often pain in the a*s to make it work. And MS is not helping in this...
I haven't tried, but given how quirky it is (in house development decades ago with patches and hotfixes stuck to it over years) I highly doubt it would work. The main problem is that there's no will to use Linux in office environment...
We're at least running it on POS machines - about 150 openSUSE installs - where there's nothing fancy needed.
We recently had discussion on this too and 365 is also a possibility. Nobody wants to deal with MS and their licensing though :-D
It's small grocery store chain in the middle of European nowhere, with about hundred of stores run mostly in small villages. Some of those ancient software was made in-house decades ago for internal ordering from wholesaler (also run by the company) to individual shops. Everything in wholesale warehouse runs on the same DOS thing too, with stock inventory, invoice, ordering, ... There's already plan to (finally!!) put it to sleep and replace with something newer and more flexible, but given how low on resources and manpower the company is, it's not going to happen fast.
Thanks for deep reply. I'll chew through it.
Documentation is non-existent now and that's what bothers me the most. I, at least, started to put my agenda and acquired how-tos to plain txt files for future, because with so much shit going on I tend to forget stuff. I'd like to extend it and make it system-wide to cover all the IT related stuff in the company with some proper software to do it in (no idea which). But there's virtually no way this lack of documentation will change dramatically anytime soon. There's simply no will from higher ups and even if there was, there would be no manpower to do it :-( We're barely holding things running.
There are multitude of OS & software in running. Some people still use DOS, but most of those were already upgraded - to windows XP. These machines are currently being replaced with Win10 ones. But due to some specific old SW there still need to be some DOS machines running, at least for couple upcoming years. Linux is sadly not an option for typical office workers, again due to some software in use. There's at least open source in places where possible with more (Firefox, Thunderbird, tightVNC, ...) or less (LibreOffice) success.
Hello everyone, I hope I came to the right place to ask my stupid question. I'm currently working in a company that stuck way way back in time. I'm talking some people are still working in DOS level back in time. There is some revamping of this in progres, but it's going to be a long run.
The "IT department" (called computing department, lol) consist basically of 2 people, boss and me. Boss loves the old days, he's "happily" using Win XP on his computer and hates everything newer than Win7, although half of everything he tries to do doesn't work there anymore (and don't even start with security of the OS). Anyway... that's about the company background and what to expect.
During currently ongoing upgrades to get this company at least to 21st cwntury, there will be some sw licencing happening. I'm expecting like buying dozens of Office 2021 keys and some other standalone soft too. But there's problem with managing those keys, as there is no precedence, no rules and everything's going to be from the scratch almost. People are coming and going, PCs are dying (remember, there are still some DOS machines), hard drives replacing, etc. etc. Windows domain? Not in this company. Ever.
So, how do you keep track of what is installed and where? Thank you very much.
What was supposed to be possible for streamers to say then? "Well I can't criticize, so the game must be great. Ehm, is it? Nobody can say."
Somebody already recommended Primus so I have to come up with backup. And that is:
- Nuclear Power Trio
- Carnival in Coal
- Igorrr
Came here to say this. But as usual I came too late (except for intercourse, where it's the opposite).
Yeah. I was thinking like the usual 4 piece rock band. You switch one member and it's ok. Let's say next year one member dies, so he's replaced. Still ok. But when there's ultimately nobody from the original lineup, it's just not the same band for me. On paper it is, but for me it's just milking the name...
Browsing the web I came across this (meta) search engine. From the first glance, it seems promising and giving quite a good results to my searches. Definitely better than Google, Bing or DDG, which tend to be full of SEO/ads/AI bullshit these days. Does anyone use it?
It somehow implies it's open source and indeed there is github https://github.com/PresearchOfficial too, but I can't find any link from the presearch.com itself to it. It's just... IDK, weird?
I'd like something like JBL Charge, but with USB port that I can connect to PC and speaker would act like external audio device. I've only found ones with USB-A to insert pen-drive, which is not the same.
I use headphones exclusively at my PC, but there are times when I'd like to show something to my wife and since I have only one pair of headphones it's no sound for either me or her. Audio quality is not crucial, so I thought I'd buy bluetooth speaker (which I can use everywhere with my phone) and connect it with one USB cable and it's done. It would charge when I'm out and I could use it whenever I needed. Well, it seems this idea was wrong since every single one I've checked has USB port only for charging. Are there any of these that act as USB audio device?
Does thing like this even exist? If so I'm probably too stupid to pick right keywords to search engine. Thank you everyone!
I'm in Europe, looking for family car and have no idea what to look for, as cars are far from my thing.
I'll start with a bit of info. We don't drive that much, most often just short rides in town (like groceries, kids to school, etc.) or short drives to nearby towns (10-15km). Longer distances about once a month (50+ km). Slughtly bigger car is a preference as we usually have stuff to carry in boot. Currently we have old Ford Mondeo turnier from 2003 and due to its engine problems it needs to be replaced. I have around 15k € budget, so will be looking at used market cars.
Because of intended use I scratched out all diesel offerings. Right? Leaving me with either gasoline or hybrid options. Full EV are probably no go due to price. I've picked a few possible cars from local/nearby sellers and would really appreciate your input on them (or alternatives I should be looking at).
Ford Focus wagon from 2019. Has 1.0 ecoboost engine (92 kW / 125 hp), has some nice equipment options like auto AC, heated seats, steering wheel and front screen. It has a mileage of just about 90k km (60k miles). It's priced slightly under 13k €.
Toyota Auris sports wagon hybrid, from 2018. It's typical Toyota prius-like hybrid with 1.8 liter engine and electric motor. Not plug-in hybrid. Mileage of around 150k km (100k miles). It's slightly less equipped than the Focus (and it doesn't support android auto or carplay) and is priced around 15k €.
2019 Kia Cee'd wagon. It is probably the simplest car in this list - it has 1.4 liter engine without direct injection and without turbo (73 kW) - does it mean less things to break? Other equipment is pretty good though (parking camera, heated seats and wheel, ...), it has mileage if just 40k km (25k miles) and it should still be in factory warranty till 2026. Priced at 12.5k €.
There's also VW Passat variant 2016 plug-in hybrid. It's decent condition, although it has over 210k km (like 140k miles). I don't have option to recharge at home (flat), but there are 2 or 3 public stations in walk distance. Priced at roughly 16k € it's slightly over my intended budget, but it's a bigger more comfortable car and has plenty of optional features (like parking camera, driving assistants, full led lights, etc.).
And there's about another gazzillion of cars and my brain hurts... Would you please help me decide?
Check this Ukrainian band out, especially in these troubled times for that country. I'm the mountain is probably one of my absolutely top liked songs of all time.
This is something a little bit heavier. If you want something that sounds insanely distorted, brutal and hairy as f*ck, say no more. This is it. Check especially song Killdozer.
I love this band. It's not a heavy stoner with those massive distorted guitar sounds, more to the psychedelic side, but I love the energy. Power trio as it should be!
I don't know if it's only me, but I really like what this band do. And I rarely see them mentioned anywhere. When someone mentions post-rock, it's usually bands like Sigur Ros, God is an astronaut, Mogwai, Mono... Ranges? Barely ever, at least in my social circles. So here you go, try and listen. Maybe you'll like them as I do.
