I’ve been down this road, java Minecraft is fine, bedrock Minecraft is not. Most people and cross platform play Minecraft use the bedrock version. It’s literally Microsoft saying FU linux

I’ll counter the other comments. It’s not any more difficult to maintain than any other service. What is a pain is the spam, and as I run it for a business the users. The biggest problem I have is other mail servers been incorrectly configured for SPF, DKIM and dmarc , usually it’s things like external billing platforms that have been integrated incorrectly by customers and suppliers. Spam is now starting to come though with all the proper headers for SPF and DKIM

I think it’s more if you want to replace one you have to replace both, and if you don’t glue the battery to the screen the phone will fall apart, that’s what I’d do if I was an evil corporation and wanted customers to buy a new phone instead of repairing

I did see a m.2 based expansion card based on ASM1166 chipset, or failing that a sata port multiplier, but those depend on the data port supporting it

My wife hates been called “luv” mainly old dudes that think they are been nice, so she calls them luv back. Maybe someone needs to be greated every morning with with a nice big smile and a good morning flower.

Also if the getting left on your own for a smoke break when busy happens, just go for a smoke break with her, or be on your phone and say something like “I don’t know where Sarah went she just disappeared, oh wait I’ve found her outside having a smoke break, do you want me to tell her to come back inside”

As it’s a uni job it’s now your mission to wind her up as much as possible, don’t worry about bad references or CV gaps if anything goes wrong.

Also look up constructive dismissal

No not a few seconds. Ever walked near a jackhammer 130dB in the street for a few seconds? That is significantly louder. In general anything over 85dB for a significant amount of time causes damage. Concerts top out at around 110dB and you don’t see people popping eardrums there.

However if you have an ear infection so some other type of damage then maybe?

I read Texas so I’m going to assume it was due to shooting guns

Well shambhala at portaventura, spain. I tried the seat in the queue and fit fine, mainly to show the kids how the restraints work, it clamps your thighs on to the seat, no upper body. On the actual ride the leg restraint was a lot tighter, so much so that I couldn’t tense my muscle to move my leg, started getting numbness by the time it was over. Great rollercoaster, epic views, shame I couldn’t ride a second time.

Ah so it’s for drug trafficking not terrorism

New Folder (5)(copy) in a directory called TO SORT.

I think you are not understanding how global shipping works, the ship could be owned by company in country A, hired by company in country B, under the flag of country C, cargo owned by country D, crew from country E, F and G or any random mix of everything.

Also the vast majority of goods to Europe goes through the red sea, and Suez canal. Remember what happened last time shipping stopped going through the Suez canal. It directly effects the economies of Europe, which most countries are NATO, so you could say it’s an attack on NATO country, which is article 5 of the treaty, and the only time article 5 has been invoked, was the 9/11 attacks, which led to a 20year(?) war. So maybe there is some interest in not letting it get that far again

Well that sucks, if you ever get in that situation again, but I doubt you will, ask to play a co-op game.

All I’m reading from this is that the company has “ethical violation” problems and should probably be investigated

It all depends on how paranoid you feel. If the device has a hardcoded IP addresses changing the DNS won’t do anything. The only way to block that is by using a firewall external to your device and blocking it that way. You can get malware/backdoors in all the places you mention, and even built in to usb cables as well.

In the end the question becomes who can you actually trust, and how sensitive is your data. At some point you have to trust someone and potentially give any some form of data/information, otherwise you are just living in a bubble with no access to anything.

Personally I don’t believe anyone is interested in my data/info for anything other than selling adverts towards me, and potentially trying to steal money via scams, fraud etc.

I run a pixel 6a, some people will tell me that Google has all my data, and they are right, however I know what they have and can be pretty certain that I’m not going to have random crap and potential malware on the CPU or chip on the board, and it also receives regular updates.

Any app you run the phone (unless root enabled) will have to run on top of whatever rom you have installed, and is ultimately controlled by the Rom. It probably isn’t but again depends on level paranoia and trust you have. The paranoid route would be to build your own version of android from source on something like a fairphone.

Just out of interest I checked the UK’s system called PAYE, it’s was fully introduced in 1944. The only people that have to deal with bullshit tax returns are people that are probably going to be making enough money to be able to afford someone to sort it out for them anyway.

Are they actually called Important Folder (ABC), it might be truncating the name at the spaces, and giving the same folder name 3 times, Try Important_folder_a etc.

On Ubuntu it’s because it’s a snap package, and snap does whatever it wants. I have not yet been inconvenienced enough to bend it to my will yet

Not from the US, but I believe it’s to do with child protection laws, Google says it’s COPPA. Generally a service has to put in extra protections, such as prevent direct messaging, not tracking kids, not personal info. Basically all the bad shit that social media does, they can’t do to kids and most importantly have to actively monitor and restrict. That why most apps and stuff ask for date of birth or if you are over 13 or whatever

The amount of times I’ve had this argument in the office is untrue. I think the default values aren’t stored in the docx file or something like that, but when you manually set a value it does store it in the docx.

Then you have the whole proprietary blobs in a “open” standard to deal with.

The worst offenders are people who format with tabs and spaces and wonder why it’s all messed up.

If you have to use a program that is windows only you have to use windows. I could move our entire company over to Linux if it wasn’t for SOLIDWORKS been windows only.

Wine can be an option but I’ve found it very hit and miss on some of the more obscure windows only programs

In the past I’ve used virtual box (virtual machine) in seamless mode, so it looks just like a window in Linux. I can’t remember why I stopped, I think it was down to licencing and oracle buying it.

Exactly all programs should be web based cloud subscription only. We don’t want that filthy code on our rgb nvme drives
