Yet another reason why I work remotely.

Neither scenario touches the torture I endure the morning after pepper-heavy, spicy Mexican food.

Ah. Of, or pertaining to, the experience following consumption of milk-based products for those who are intolerant to lactose.

Worth a try. Highly capable. It’s my default.

I banished Windows from my life a long time ago. My quality of life improved shortly thereafter. I had reached rock bottom after spending a day trying to unbugger my mother in law’s computer. It felt like waking up after a long bender in a pile of my own sick. She caused the pain herself because Windows invited it without guardrails - yet somehow I was holding the bag. I’m Windows-clean now and no longer offer to try (or agree) to help. I know the personal risks. I support you if you’re still enraptured by the Windows range and despair. I get it. Getting clean isn’t easy. Gather the strength.

I don’t have to use a perl script to view the contents of a file?

open(my $fh, ‘<’, ‘filename.txt’) or die “Could not open file: $!”; while (my $line = <$fh>) { print $line; } close($fh);

Sick!

Parasite lays thousands of eggs that the host craps out in its feces to continue the trend in perpetuity. Both species survive as a species.

Okay I’m going to put this out there. I’ve never birthed a child but I can be certain that the birthing process doesn’t hold a candle to the monkey claw I experience after eating a bean burrito loaded with jalapenos and mole. I don’t think even an epidural could ameliorate that level of dire suffering.

The least rewarding purchase I had to make was a boiler for a house. It’s not like something you can show off to your friends. Just thousands in expense to maintain functional parity.

Tailscale.

Jellyfin. Tailscale. Bob’s your uncle.

The support you’re receiving here may be a bit flaccid

“valuation” I suppose. The “value” that we project onto something whether that something has truly earned it.

Ah the scenarios we are forced to imagine with back to office mandates. I’ll go with Dayzie because we have similar ideologies about deodorant and I can’t wait for someone to complain to Susan so I can be oppositionally defiant.

Linux squashes root over ssh. An OEM could preinstall a sudo user to get around this but that kind of BS would be their death knell as a vendor.

Neither Linux nor Windows but it’s a sensible guess :)

Nothing to do with Windows? Are we sure about that? Asus is a Windows OEM that pre installs Windows and has enough privileged access to insert a surreptitious executable compiled specifically for Windows.

Yes, agreed, if they chose a *nix like OS and they had root, they could do the same thing and that would be equally shitty. It is Windows OEMs that exhibit this kind of fsckery and yes we do have a choice.

Windows is a choice. You made it. Congratulations.

I’m sure he had to dig deep to endure the smell of urine and feces as is popularly described.
