rejectfinite··on WFH – Watched from Home: Office 365 and workplace surveillance creep (2022)
Im amazed people work from their personal PCs

How is that allowed lol

From the company side, they dont know whats on my machine. I might have pirated everything and keyloggers out the wazoo, thats my choice.

rejectfinite··on Brave Browser introduces vertical tabs
>Vertical tabs. Nice. From now on, any browser not offering this feature, shouldn't even bother applying. Nicely done Brave!

Been a thing for years in old Opera first

Firefox has extensions for it

Edge and Vivaldi has it native

1. Dont North of USA also get really cold and dark? My winters in south of Sweden are like -10C max for a day... Not very brutal.

2. Take some Vitamin D and its fine...

3. Dark is cozy too

What country are you from?
rejectfinite··on Google Cloud Workstations managed development environment is now GA
I guess this and Windows 365 is instead of Citrix or Thin Clients. It's not about price, it's about security, control and flexibility. Not meant to compete on price. Now I admit I kind of don't get it either.
rejectfinite··on How well does your country provide for its citizens?
Let me ask, do you have a job with the countries median or average salary? Or you have a western job salary, and therefore you can live it up? Did you bring all your gadgets, pc, laptop, phone etc or did you buy those in the country or ?

What I mean is of course you will have it better in a third world cheap country if you come in with a western salary or even western tools already bought in from elsewhere.

I keep seeing this. I don't get it. You are Swedish too, right?

One, why do you think startups are so good to the avarage person?

Two, Spotify, Ericsson, SAAB, Skype, Thepiratebay, our military in general (we are country of 10mil and we build 3 jet plane models, our subs, and cruisers are renowned) and ofc IKEA. :))

They were all startup mentality once.

Plus how many people really start their own companies. More importantly, WHEN they fail, and they WILL, how will you survive in the usa without massive private savings as there is no safteynet?

Turn lights on dummy.

I love bing in the dark, reading, watching something or playing games. :)

I mean this did not spring up from the ground.

We made our countries like this :)

You could also say we got lucky with our climate, no major disasters and fewer corrupt politicians.

You can change hospital/primary care though?

And any country has a connected system. If not taxes then its gonna be insurance.

rejectfinite··on How well does your country provide for its citizens?
>It’s that these systems are full of nasty people who take advantage of their power to satisfy their own psychological needs, at the expense of the vulnerable (read: me 5 years ago).

As a fellow Swede, elaborate?

If what I am going to healthcare for is REAL they take very good care of you. They know when it's serious or not. If you waste their time, gtfo.

rejectfinite··on Sweden's 250-year-old Freedom of the Press Act gets UNESCO status
It's not. The women did a Swedish TV documentary last year I think. They haven't gained anything. Why lie about this.

Sexual assault is a crime, yes. You are not absolved from that, being a journalist.
rejectfinite··on Twitter launches new Pro tier for $5000/month
Would pre-elon Twitter have handled 500k in one Twitter space? :)
rejectfinite··on Twitter launches new Pro tier for $5000/month
For me, it's better.

They removed the annoying login pop-up.

I only interact with twitter using links from other platforms. I don't use the trending hashtags or search.

So for me, it's been better since Elon took over.

rejectfinite··on Lenovo profits sink 75% as PC demand continues nosedive
You are right but one thing. Gaming laptops are terrible and a bad deal.

>And they are as cheap as an equivalent desktop - which may or may not bring any visible performance and quality improvement

They will. Either cheaper or better performance for same price.

And what do the technical people use?
rejectfinite··on Lenovo profits sink 75% as PC demand continues nosedive
>but who else needs a powerful PC besides gamers(who mainly use consoles anyway)

1. Gamers depend on market and games. Have fun playing CSGO2 on a console.

2. If you even do web browsing, youtube/netflix and documents work on a PC its nice to have a beefy one that does not lag. You can skip the GPU but a nice i5 or i7, 32GB RAM and big SSD is really nice to have and use. Plus all the extras.

rejectfinite··on Lenovo profits sink 75% as PC demand continues nosedive
For Lenovo you really have to look for deals like this or similar for them to be worth it.

rejectfinite··on Windows XP Activation: Game Over
I Remoted/Teamviewered into a Windows XP laptop a few years ago form my Windows 10 work PC. And WOW the XP machine was so fast. They installed XP on a new-ish Intel i3 and 4GB RAM for some reason, probably old software. And the UI just flew, so smooth, even over Teamviewer.

They wanted it on corp wifi however... that was a no-go
