  Just wondered if anyone else uses this to mount smb/cif shares locally. Dolphin does mount shares but when using programs the shares don't work correctly. however using SMB4K mounts locally with no issues. or do most of you mount using fstab? I think gnome doesn't have this issue with their built in file browser.

  Google's Pixel 6 processor brings AI photo features

  Google has unveiled its latest smartphone, containing the tech giant's first self-designed computer chip.
  The Pixel 6 contains Google's "Tensor" processor, which it says enables new phone features powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning. It is also the first phone in the series with a "Pro" model, designed to compete at the high end of the market. "The whole goal when we started was to reach this point," said Rick Osterloh, Google's head of devices. "Really, this is our original vision that we're finally able to get to after building a lot of capabilities both in technology and in product development capabilities," he told the BBC.

  @laksh1999 your best bet would be to print out the Sec+ exam objectives and study each item on it.

  I used that and some practice tests for good measure.

  @jaredbusch said in Indentation Style:

  @pmoncho tab indentation needs to die in nuclear fire.

  Thankfully, modern IDE systems like Visual Studio Code and others all auto swap a tab for 4 spaces by default.

  Personally, I prefer a 2 space indentation, but 4 seems to be the most common.

  I didn't think Tab's were that big of a deal as I never had an issue between Vi, Nano, Notepad or Notepad++. I guess it is mostly a habit from using text editors.

  Hmm... I always hated having press the space bar more than twice (only after "." mostly). Maybe I will try using two spaces in the next script to see how that pans out.

  Might be worthwhile checking to see if there's something already available within your payroll or HR software. Just to avoid re-inventing something that you might already have.

  Excellent suggestion. Thanks.
  The current setup does not have such functionality.

  Loosing good account reps seems to be the norm in the SBM... a sales person often seems to start out on the SMB desk, if they excel, they are promoted to other desks. This has happened to me at least three times across different vendors.

  @Pete-S said in To vSAN or not to vSAN?:

  The problem the way I see it with old stuff like the OP has is while there is nothing wrong with the technology itself, everything is relatively slow with today's standard and much more complex than needed.

  It's very true. And the risk today is that we are so accustomed to that complexity, that we often avoid the simple answers today.

  Awwww.... this was our sale day for tickets for the last MangoCon.

  Fingers crossed we get another soon.

  With dick shirts?

  How did this happen is the real question? 😂😂😂😂

  This had to be intentional?

  It was intentional, I was just sad I missed it.

  Whats the joke? We're dicks? 😂😂😂

  The joke was that the shirt had a questionably shaped object as the main center piece of the shirt. I didn't even feel comfortable wearing it around my kids. :) Right @scottalanmiller @Dominica ?

  @Dashrender said in Lenovo Bypass BIOS Options:

  in the 2010's many laptops came with a boot to BIOS/setup button, a Tiny button typically on side of the laptop meant to help you bypass this rapid boot feature and ensure you get into the BIOS

  Never seen that, ever.

  My old Lenovo had it.

  @JaredBusch Still happy with this?

  I don't use it. Never did beond a 1 year trial.

  Nothing wrong with it for those that want an RMM. Good features decent price. Multiple RMM have the same pricing scheme today.

  @Obsolesce said in YAML terminology and Ansible:

  @Pete-S said in YAML terminology and Ansible:

  Other than that it doesn't matter to me what anyone calls it.

  You are 100% to call it whatever you want. But a key/value pair is commonly referred to as a dictionary... or a hash table which is a dictionary data type. This isn't exclusive to Python in the least.

  "Commonly referred" depends on the programming language in question. For example in many other languages it's commonly called an array or collection and never a dictionary.

  If you look at the part you quoted, YAML calls it mappings.

  The proper computer science terminology would be associative array.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

  The best thing to do is to call it exactly what the language or software you are referring to calls it. If Ansible wants you to create what it has named in their documentation as a dictionary in YAML, that's what you refer to it as. Otherwise, someone who is familiar with Ansible and it's documentation won't know what the hell you are talking about if you call it your own thing.

  I can agree with that point of view - YAML in the context of Ansible.
  https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/YAMLSyntax.html

  So you'd call it dictionaries then. And lists.
