My job trialled azure cloud PCs a couple of years ago.

It was pretty good from my point of view as a user.

However the cost was higher than $8000 laptops we have, so we didn’t adopt it.

Wonder if it’s still the same. Guessing the cloud is still suffering the same hardware price hike anyway.

Yeah but how else can I exchange shower nudes ?

Yeah it’s wild.

All of my female partners have at about 20 likes for every 1 that I, a male get from females.

I think I prefer to be on this side of the fence to be honest. Having more than a handful of people to chat with at once would be overwhelming.

I couldn’t stop laughing when one of my kids showed me a picture of his 10 year old friend’s effort with the texta. We are talking comical magician curly moustache. Roblox verified that account as 18 though and now that account can’t talk to his school friends.

It took me longer than many but I accepted it to.

Never going back to cable slap when exercising. True wireless buds for ever.

SD card would certainly be nice still.

But realistically I’ll likely still buy this as long as it has half decent specs and is IP67+

Ironically I bought a cheap moto g because microslop intune settings where I work do not allow for Graphene os in the attestation check. Only use it when wfh so if I’m away from my desk I don’t miss teams calls and look like I’m doing laundry (which I probably am)

So I’m forced to use windows at work like the majority of my industry.

The start bar is still a thorn in my side since we switched from 10 to 11.

Standard office set up is 2 x 1920x1200 monitors and a 1920x1080 laptop. Some just leave the laptop shut when docked.

I preferred having it on a stand and using the lap top screen real estate.

In windows 10 I could make a monitor the primary and have a start bar only on the laptop. Not being able to do that in windows 11 is fucking annoying. They also fucked up auto hide start bar, it’s always jumping up for bullshit I don’t care about and not hiding when it should. I gave in and accepted I can’t have those bottom few lines of screen real estate because they are Microsoft’s.

As an engineer I do sometimes get feelings of imposter syndrome. But then I look at what Microsoft did to the start bar in windows 11 and think well at least I didn’t do that.

As far as laws regarding digital rights / freedoms go, we have no chance in Australia anyway as the major parties are all against them.

In fact the coalition has an even worse track record than labor.

Is there a setting that can be enabled at the management end to allow Graphene to pass the device health check?

When my employer rolled out intune I had to get a second device to run their ms apps. This was after them trying to figure out a way to get them to work on Graphene.

Part sun / part shade.

Mines in a large pot so I try to keep it where it won’t get the afternoon sun in summer, but gets a bit of sun in winter.

One was enough.

I had lots of flowers for a couple of years and no fruit. I suspect that was caused by not giving it enough water around this time of year. (I’m in Perth)

Mine took 7 year’s until it did.

Even a broken clock is right at least once a day.

What if they fucked right off and left parenting what kids do on their devices to their parents?

Maybe I’m just getting old, but the idea of “verifying” my real identity to a faceless website or mobile app is abhorrent.

I guess it doesn’t help that governments in some countries (UK, Australia that I know of) are encouraging this bullshit with Trojan horse laws claiming to protect children from adult websites / social media.

Can’t help but think there is also an element of pot meet kettle here, when users of an app designed to dox and slander people without their knowledge are now the ones getting doxxed themselves.
