It was a local restaurant run by a shady businessman who’s known for running less than good quality restaurants. Whatever, I figured, it was cheap and close to my house.
Except me and my family were served rotten meat when we ate there. The manager only wanted to give us a 20% discount. Like hell I’m paying for rotten food. Never again.
Easily the lead singer of Kings of Leon. That whine in his voice makes me want to chug bleach.
If I had a nickel for every time a full power cycle fixed it all, I’d be rich. However, if you did power cycle before and call in again, often it’s an issue that needs deeper investigation. In that case, the tech can likely watch the process of your equipment coming online in realtime to see where the issue is happening. Network entry, authentication, package application, DHCP, it can often be monitored as it’s happening. A reboot while on the phone starts the process right from the beginning so it can be monitored to determine what happens immediately and what happens after it sits for a while.
Fortunately there are no commands to enter or buttons to click. They’re designed to handle losing power.
I work in the magical world of ISPs. If you’re having an internet issue, reboot your router and/or modem before calling in. It may not seem like much to you, but many background processes happen when you do so. This can be useful to troubleshoot where the issue lies. There’s a reason why techs will make you do so when calling in. And yes, they can tell on their end if and when you do so. So don’t bullshit them by saying you already did it if you didn’t.
You know what? Ubuntu. There I said it.
I’ve been using it since 2007 - 7.04 was my first foray into Linux ever. At present day it’s been the most “it just works” distro for me. I installed it and… that’s it. Everything just worked.
I don’t care about the “ads” in the terminal. I don’t care that it’s “bloated” (even the most bloated distro is less bloated than Windows).
If a company is porting their software to Linux, chances are they’re focusing on Ubuntu. Not Debian. Not Mint. Ubuntu.
If something isn’t working, chances are there’s a community post about it with a working solution.
It’s cool that distro hopping is a hobby for a lot of people. It isn’t for me. I want no bullshit, just set it up and let it work so I can focus on doing stuff within the OS, not setting up and fine tuning the OS itself day in and day out. And for me that’s Ubuntu.
It’s unfathomably stupid that Samsung removed it for the Flip series, but I suspect it was a cost cutting measure.
No support for the Z Flip series. Lame. Still would be useful to use as a desktop monitor or something.
If Game Maker ends up releasing their Linux IDE in a non-beta state, I’ll switch to Linux tomorrow. It’s one of the few tools still keeping me on Windows.
And we’re a drop in the bucket compared to the Reddit userbase. A rounding error. Some impact we made.
I thought that too. And then nothing happened when Reddit killed third party apps. The Reddit userbase will continue to bend and spread. As long as Spez spits on it first, they’ll continue to take it.
Is that the modern equivalent of “because of some of the pixels and seeing a lot of shops in my time”?
Bubsy 3D. The controls were awkward, the platforming was horrendous, and the levels were nonsensical.
