Not quite there yet but I've heard good things about https://www.ritualzeroproof.com/

I'm at a small business that gets maybe 2 dozen new computers a year but line 1 on my setup list is "DO NOT PLUG IN THE ETHERNET CABLE"

I can't believe it's come to this...

Yeah it definitely feels like it's from a different era, I got nostalgia just hovering over the links in Arial bold and thinking of all the hours I'd spend trying to come up with the perfect :hover color. Now it's just lighten 10%, and that's if you even bother since everyone is on their phone.

He is saying his "luck" skill is maxed out, so he is +10 while others could be having a real -10 of it.

And you have to actually click submenus to expand them, you don't just hover. And of course other menus like bookmarks open submenus when you hover, so it's a gamble every time.

Impossible is definitely better tasting, but I'm happy to see Taco Bell is included in this deal (though not in the headline here on HN). I haven't been there since they got rid of potatoes, so having a vegan option would make my taco consumption during lunch break skyrocket.

Or they just saw the giant sign that says it's the Speaker of the House's office and they grabbed a laptop?

WIN+"calc" opened up a Bing search for the term "calc" inside of Edge for me the other day. I imagine in a few more years that will actually be the expected behavior.

Everytime I use this I expect my coworkers to react with "how did you find that so fast!?" and I can share the magic with them, but they're probably just thinking about what to order for lunch.

I can't wait to save the article's screenshots of code blocks to my Pinterest account!

There was also MSN, and then on the side there was your Xbox Live account and your Games for Windows Live account. I think mine have all been merged at this point, but people at my job still click on the "work" account when they really want their personal (we don't use 365) and are confused when their account is empty.

You're correct that they aren't preinstalled, but once you connect to the internet they will be downloaded and installed automatically.

Of course, but at a certain point you think "how many more times can I possibly have to re-confirm this?" and you just let it run its course. To top it off, they bought 2 2-packs. The last battery lasted me 4 years so I guess they're invested until 2036.

Wow, this is a ~5 paragraph article, but the scrollbar would make you think it was an in-depth examination. Nope, just listicle ads for holiday gifts.

Yeah I think there is a pretty huge gap between most people's office/home differences, and what the OP misses:

> I miss occasional after-work drinks at the sky bar with the $18 well drinks that we always convinced management to pay for.

It just took me a dozen emails, 6 phone calls, and 2 tedious in face conversations to get accounting to buy me a single AAAA battery - not AA, not AAA, but AAAA, yes I'm sure, AAAA, yes I only need one. So yeah I don't miss my office.

For whatever reason, the homepage flashes dark mode, switches to light, but the icon stays a sun. I have to click that twice to get to dark mode and then it works as expected.

8 different font sizes, no logical line heights, some elements are spaced tightly (ordered list, share button) and some far apart (radio buttons). And the primary buttons in image 1 and 3 are teal, but in 2 we introduce a yellow button and in 3 there's a red one.

Even though this is about infographics, there is a lot of useful information here: https://blog.datawrapper.de/beautifulcolors/

Living in Florida, I've gone weeks without power. It's so disappointing to get up, go to work, come back, and still not have power. And it's 90 degrees and 100% humid, and if you open the windows bugs will get in. It's just up to you and whatever neighbors are nearby to clean things up so the utility crews can try to rebuild.

One hurricane knocked the cable out for months and I got so desperate that I signed up for AOL...

I've got mine networked with an old Orange Pi using some old cell phone charger plug running the brlaser driver and it works great. Before that, I'd always have issues between Mac/Windows/Linux for seemingly no good reason. I'm glad brlaser came around.

Same here. Everytime I get a chance to breathe I get another lucrative "can you come fix this legacy php app?" request even though I have a day job making new angular / .net core applications.

My understanding is the newer Android/iOS apps (and maybe Windows/Mac, who knows) filter everything through Office 365 in some way, even if you're using Exchange or your own server. Is this following the same model?

Yeah their constant revisions to the UI lately has made me start reaching for Bitwarden more and more. There was once a time I could run it on Windows, Linux, Mac, at home or at work, and it all looked the same. Now I'm always guessing where things moved to or how to copy additional attributes...

Include the full sentence.

> Of the 483,127 PRs submitted during Hacktoberfest, only 23,299 (4.82%) were identified as spam, with 19,587 (84.07%) of those being in a repository that the Hacktoberfest team excluded from the competition for not following the shared values and 3,712 (15.93%) being labeled as "invalid" by project maintainers.

Spam submissions were sent to spam repositories, that hasn't been known for years.

From the article, they act like it's their burden alone:

> Their solution, per their FAQ, is to put the burden solely on the shoulders of maintainers.

But, as a contributor, I see plenty of links for me all over Hacktoberfest to report repositories that are also trying to skirt the system.

Any old SBC can run that reliably on it's own, the parent is talking about swapping out the OS with netboot on the fly.

This has been going on for years in commercials. Have you ever heard the full version of a song used in a Target or one of those drug commercials? Outside of the hook it's basically just a beat from a Casio keyboard.

I was sure this was satire of the kind of response you'd get from any run of the mill mail provider. I can't believe you're being serious...

GTA is supposed to be satire on the real world. That's why you have your Cluckin Bells and Ammunations. If it was just a 3D environment based on the current world it would be pretty boring.

Spend one day trying to work on a graphic design project with the file saved in the Creative Cloud sync folder. The amount of "filename (Sync Issue1).ai" files you'll see accumulate will make you never want to use it again.
