Man I forgot how hard that game was.

TL;DR

I do believe the phrase is "Shut up and take my money."

I couldn't always predict when a call would come in over something and the only "quiet" space available is out in my car. It wasn't always a good option but I would go out there if I had to call someplace about a bill.

I was mostly surrounded by customer phone support people so I doubt I was distracting them.

It's like your own private office!

Just love it when people comment on phone calls you just had.

I found myself having conversations with family members where I never mentioned words that would give away what I was talking about.

What drive me even crazier is co workers that took an almost insane interest in what I was eating for lunch.

Yeah, it's a fucking big mac... have you never seen one before?

Hell, why aren't you just using construction worker ear protection and a horse blinders?

I suggest perhaps a fetal position desk:

The past year I just got an office and so happy I have my back to a wall. The amount of stress from people walking behind me was getting too much to take.

I tend to find it funny that management that proposes the Open Office idea tend to be the ones who are in offices.

I am less worried about NSA attacks on my lastpass. To be honest they could get somebody into my house and attack my computer directly.

If the NSA wanted info from you they have out of channel attacks that can get things more directly. I may have a 20 character password on my gmail but google can hand all that data over.

I just couldn't bring myself to use close source drive encryption software.

That did really look the like maintainers flipping the table over and walking away.

Yeah as well as coding a new system from scratch. If they wanted to replace the Amiga they can go on Ebay and spend $400.

At best can replace it with a Raspberry PI instead of a full on PC.

Does anybody know how this handles multiple domains and multiple domains on one IP?

How trustworthy is this?

Can always buy a cheap vm on amazon and tunnel though that.

Great googly moogly! terabytes of ram!

But then how will I watch the log files go by in real time?

It looks like from the outside it's a case of experts in screwing over everybody while making it looks like they are not.

Or just trying to siphon off value out of the system using applied phlebotinum and handwavium.

Perhaps I'm just a cynic.

> 2) This isn't the 90s where Apple was at risk of folding and going away.

No, but they are seriously unpredictable. Just ask anybody that built expensive workflows around Final Cut only to find out the new version wasn't backwards compatible with project files.

Zap the PRAM is the mac version of "Have you tried switching it off and on again?"

Wow, that's cool and yet doesn't seem to be the best power vs cost solution.

Vendor lock-in is a bitch.

Well remember: 74 is the new 24, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u5c-Qndqio

(The artist that did that music video is 74)

Not clear who this was and what they were selling.

The next problem is IP addresses. How is SNI these days? I've been meaning to experiment with it but the lack of extra personal certs have prevented me.

I install java but remove it from the browser.

...So hipster Minecraft?

Still, nice job.

It's just the first phone they support due to the radio support. I expect they will have other phones later in the year.

Probably that Nexus 5 reboot people are talking about.

Movement, CO2 and urine.
