  I need to experiment and come up with a plan. He wants to buy some new hardware too as his is getting up there in age. He knows there is better/faster equipment out there now. I already did an SSD swap in his laptop (W10) and his iMac (2012). Right now, he is talking about a new Mac Mini and multiple monitors. Parallels is installed on the iMac so he can run Win XP for some old PC games. Virtualbox is a possibility with Linux VMs but I can't say I've ever used it on MacOS. Parallels is another option.

  @bnrstnr said in Freemium Games: @Dashrender said in Freemium Games: @bnrstnr said in Freemium Games: I have no problem paying for QoL features, but pay to win pisses me off. assuming QoL is quality of life - I don't know how that equates to these games? But they have all been pay to win fast forever. You "not pay" to win in like 20 years. Not necessarily these games, but, for example, I play Path of Exile, and there are no "microtransactions" for currency/extra damage/content, but you can buy stash tabs to store more items and organize things better. They also have microtransactions for visual effects (like flashy swords, etc.) and stuff too, but nothing that makes your character stronger. I suppose there are many people out there who would like the flashy sword and are willing to pay for it, I'm not among them.

  @Mike-Ralston said in 4K vs UHD: 4K is actually a 16:10 at 4096 x 2160 Actually, even DCI, that make that projection defitinition, doesn't have a single standard and DCI 4K (which is not 4K, it's DCI 4K) isn't a standard, but a list of standards. So even by the book DCI 4K doesn't necessarily match what you claim to be a requirement. So even if you believe that DCI has the right to own the term 4K, you don't result in a 4096 pixel standard.

So I find it very ignorant for you to keep this petty stuff up... trolling or not. Nice try. Of course I have used it. No, it is not real good. Yes, it worked, but not as smoothly as real tools. Okay cowboy. What part of this is not smooth? (besides the quality and framerate of the gif) Requiring a microsoft account for starters. You have a MS account, what's the issue? I just seen a screenshot of it on TG, of you logged in to O365 or something.

  @travisdh1 you have a problem with Googles tracking I bet security isn't a problem but that tracking is debatable. You can always install Neverware and lose some of the tracking especially if you don't use the Google Console.

If so, you'd expect there to be some record of the government announcing not to call it. No more - I would expect the government to use eminent domain to demand it turned over to them.. but surprisingly, they haven't even don that.. As of right now, we aren't even sure they know. Scott and I have both tried to report this and so far... crickets. That's the biggest issue - I'm sure it's been reported.. but whoever received the reports didn't know what to do with the information. CCWTech even sent it to Trump! Well, shit. Now we know it will get fixed. I mean, he'll delegate it to the best person, a really terrific guy (no women allowed in the clubhouse), just a fantastic individual. Then in about a month, he'll fire that person and hire someone else as an interim, or maybe no one at all, but by then, we'll all have forgotten about the issue, until the person that first brought it up goes to a committee after 4 months and then ...wait, what was the original problem here?

  @Dashrender said in If there has been a breach.: @scottalanmiller said in If there has been a breach.: @Dashrender said in If there has been a breach.: Pretty much, which makes them horrible 'private' pieces of information. Which, neither is. Both are public non-ID items. The issue is random people choosing to avoid using an ID and is effectively a scam. Well, we'd like to say they aren't IDs, but the SSN has definitely become a defacto ID. You can hardly do anything without it - you can't get a job with it, they must report to the IRS using it, you can't get credit without it - the credit agencies only use that as a verifier of your identity, etc. Yes, but it is not an ID in those cases. It's an extra part tied to your other information that together form an ID. SS on its own in not unique, so doesn't identify you. You have to have one, and you have to have the right one, but knowing one doesn't prove the slightest thing to the IRS. Credit agencies make up something unrelated in association with it.

  @gjacobse said in Aliexpress: Has anyone ordered items from Aliexpress? The order I have placed with them is on hold, they want some financial information I don’t feel they need, but since we are talking about another country wanted to ask. They want a photo copy of my card statement, drover’s license or passport,... Seems odd to me,.... Never had any issues. Think of AliExpress as eBay + clearance platform. The question is: Who is asking? AE or the vendor? I would simply contact AE's customer support.

  @JaredBusch said in Hardware lifecycle expectation - discussion: @Dashrender said in Hardware lifecycle expectation - discussion: In light of Sonos and What's App dropping support for older hardware, I'm curious what others think about forced hardware/software retirement? What, if anything could be done (that would likely be accepted by the public) to solve the issue. I don't know about Sonos, but What's App is dropping support for iOS 8... That is fucking ancient. I assumed that the Android version was comparably ancient. Yeah I think it was froyo that they dropped support for. Which is from like 2009.

  @Dashrender said in Banned on VitalPBX forum?: @JasGot said in Banned on VitalPBX forum?: @Dashrender said in Banned on VitalPBX forum?: sucks.. what is call flip option? It is a variation of blind transfer. Example scenario: You are speaking on the phone at your desk and you need to leave the building. You press a soft key on your desk phone and your smartphone starts ringing. Since it was some sort of a blind transfer, when you answer the call on your smart phone, the call becomes live on the smartphone and disconnects from the desk phone. the person on the other end of the call does not hear any hold music or tones during the flip. and that's different from a blind transfer how? I should have asked the difference between flip and call forwarding?

  @CCWTech a bizarre ad to run for a company that doesn't have any sort of data loss protection on their big products and who encourages their customers to run with just a shared universal password on admin accounts. Telling people that data loss is a big risk, when that would instantly drive their customers away from them, seems like a crazy gambit.

  @WrCombs said in How did you learn?: How did you learn Power-shell scripting? any books worth looking at? Looking at expanding some more, and I know Automation makes jobs way easier. This (https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/GetStartedPowerShell3/01) combined with doing tasks in PowerShell. In my opinion, as others have states, it's easier to learn via doing tasks. Added bonus is you complete a task with PowerShell or script it, then see if / how you can improve your script.
