Facial recognition anyone?

@JaredBusch Including facial recognition, but not really limited to that. @scottalanmiller expressed my thought in a very clear and laconic manner:

It's used for data harvesting.

You see! This is why you shouldn't patch!

Honestly, it's time for the government to be investigating treason here.

Sadly, Zimbra is an exception.

Oh wait, that's a Lenovo product. That would explain why there is spyware that can't be removed. That totally mimics everything we know about Lenovo. Honestly, FB is the least of your worries there.

$100k?

That would be a good deal 🙂

Analysis is that the new Apple iPad is not enough to help Apple in the education market.

@mlnews Ugh! I'm going back to my abacus.

My 8yo loves using an abacus.

@scottalanmiller not so limited. I do both linux and win devel. Win in vm is a pita so you run win bare metal and use linux in vm. Then you grown bored of setting up samba for sharing between vm and host, fire the vm on 1 screen and have another os in the other screen and so on. Now I just fire wsl from win menu and I go. It is simply more seamless to me.

When you say you develop on both, you develop the same things on both, or different things on both?

I share between systems via GIT.

No I've customers asking for linux stuff and other customers asking for win stuff.

What causes the need for the Samba shares between them, then? Seems like you'd just keep them disconnected.

While all end in a git service (bitbucket) having code sparse in 2 machines and duplicated tools is not something I like. So I prefer to keep eveything in 1 place use 1 editor and share sources/compiled code to run it. With wsl this is smooth and fast. Not having to devel for win would be a big win.

That's what I do, I just don't do Windows 😉

That’s a bit of a click bait.

The iPhone automatically requires password after two days or after power reset. So it is not an automatic get me in method.

I am not sure about android device settings but I would assume it is similar.

I loved the original Bard's Tale. It's the game that got me into role playing and adventure games.

We need a post that lays out all the reasons why Lenovo is bad. Then we can just link to it. It comes up all the time it seems like.

There is a link to Travis' blog post but his site was down.

Yeah, I got caught in the fun domain renewal and switch dance, gr.
