In our environment (our product is a windows desktop application) we use packer to build a custom windows server 2022 image with all the required tools installed. Build agents run on a azure vm scale set that uses the said image for the instance os.

The new app (XApp) is an improvement to the original one which worked maybe 15% of the time. Having to join your phone to the camera wifi is still a requirement

Well at least one did in the 90s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_MS_Estonia#Offi...

Indeed. In the past tunes would keep evolving. Now everything has that tuba bassline, soft sounding kick and different kind of snarling sounds with echo and that's it.

Where I'm from AMEX is basically used for free stuff and cancelled afterwards. And for curiosity like reservations for me and my fisherman's friends.

I also have ipod touch 1G in my drawer but instead of iOS it's running android (because why not). Or maybe it was dual boot, I can't remember. Android performance was pretty horrible and it was more of a party trick than actual usable system.

Tortilla avataan?

US Department of Defense has 14 /8 blocks. You'd have to wonder what they do with that large number of public IPs.

Sure, some companies have large blocks but that's nothing compared to that.

There's DC association [1] (RY) in Finland that operates a DC-3 and you can book a flight on it if you are into that. I think they mostly fly during the summers, though.

Google has managed to make themselves a startup of established companies: You never know when the service you are relying on gets discontinued.

Our company main product is a windows desktop application.

At my previous employer we had a 24 disk zfs storage server built using these disks (thanks to an external consultant who replaced enterprise grade disks because "they're basically the same").

While they were still under warranty we replaced 50% of them and after warranty 100% of them were replaced using another brand.

I think sometimes windows settings (the modern settings application) fails at this too.

Up until you mentioned Denmark, I was 100% sure you talked about my home country, Finland.

A while ago I gave stadia a try figuring it was a netflix kind of service in which you pay a monthly fee for all the content. Turns out that in addition to that, you are supposed to actually purchase the games.

Taken into account of google constantly pulling the plug on their services, that's not something I'm willing to do, so I cancelled my subscription.

I've always considered macports/brews as last possible solution for problems on macos because you eventually end up with broken system. Luckily you can run most of the stuff on a remote linux with containers.

Anything related to windows command line or automation is flimsy and you never get the same results. Administering windows build environment makes me want to cry.

I suppose it's the "green lock" that drives people to still use certificates issued non-automated way.

Back in the 90s we had a cat that liked to play fetch. Every now and then it would come to you with a bobble (a hairy ball) and you were supposed to throw it and it would bring it back (it would even drop it to your open hand).

She also liked to eat cheese puffs.

Explorer also launched a lot faster than especially the late versions of netscape.

I got my first IT job through IRC. A friend whom I knew only through Internet (and who also got his first job through IRC) invited me for a job interview (I think I was the only one who they interviewed).

Because it's April 1st.

I actually planned to include a link to this video in my original response but then left it out. Thanks for posting!

A few years back there was an incident in Sweden where noise coming from the gas based fire suppression system going off destroyed hard drives [1].

The app is a nice curiosity and works as an advertisement but nothing else. Everyone knows IKEA makes the most buck out of crap people buy while coming over to the store to see something they actually planned on buying. It's not a coincidence their stores are like mazes.

Buy a small PC with lots of network ports and install VyOs [1] on it. If I recall correctly, Ubiquiti's EdgeOS is based on VyOs.

Fusion (originally "Digital Fusion" by Eyeon Software, now part of Resolve) is also a purchase [1].

It's not just Ryan Gosling. It's Ryan Gosling with "Charlie Chaplin mustache".

We used titokone [1]. The newest version of it even has some graphics support in it (although it's super slow).

I was also recently surprised when I made a service call for one of our lenovos and the replies to it came from an ibm.com address.
