I barely notice it.

The SD card slot is pointing down when I use it.

I also have a case which makes it even harder to see.

Lemmy has nothing but time.

Isn’t Lemmy decreasing in numbers?

The reason that most companies don’t want you to do that is because they don’t want people running around installing their own OS and doing whatever they feel like on company devices.

Letting people do that would be an IT and information security nightmare.

It’s the same reason that no (sane) company would give local admin privileges to everyone.

The reason why companies generally don’t have an official way to use Linux is because it’s hard to support two platforms simultaneously. Especially when you have, certificate and/or AD network authentication for wireless and wired like we do. You also need to consider how the two platforms should interact with each other. For example Linux devices should be able to connect to the AD domain with Kerberos and need to be able to access SMB shares and probably other systems.

In short it’s more complicated than “just let me try”.

I am a Windows admin but two of my colleagues who are Linux admins use Linux machines that are running Ubuntu+a few internal tweaks to make it better fit us. The Linux platform is developed primarily by one of the developers at the company and some others (primarily developers) also use Linux. The vast majority of the company uses Windows.

There are also a few hundred Macs.

I have been considering getting our flavour of Linux installed on a VM or maybe even dual booting for testing.

That applies to most of the drama surrounding Linux.

Suggest a country then

I’m not a designer (I have spared the world from my designs) but I think the Affinity suite is pretty good. It’s not as feature complete as Photoshop but it’s fairly close and the UI is also fairly close.

As they said the app needs ongoing maintenance.

Sure, but I’m just curious because of course a very cheap model is very cheaply constructed.

Also comparing cans to machined aluminium is pretty weird when they are completely different.

What model?

It sounds like a really cheap model.

Do you also backup the files externally? If not you shouldn’t consider them backed up.

Haha, yeah 16 is actually pretty long.

I guess I’m just used to being forced 16 characters long passwords at long.

Consider shortening your passwords. Random passwords longer than 20 characters is a complete waste of time.

I typed it like that with the slim hope that someone would misinterpreted it, lol.

No VNC

Yeah, at least the ones I used have some kind of console/terminal you can use and often you can access BIOS and reinstall the OS if you want.

Moode maybe.

Well, I at least chuckled.

Yeah, absolutely!

I actually like the change.

It’s just that it will create a lot of work for us (especially for me and my colleague) short term. I would very much appreciate it if Google actually bothered to give an exact timeline (optimally a few months or a year in advance).

PSA: All public certificates (private internal certificates won’t be affected) will have a lifetime of only 90 days soon. Google is planning to reduce their lifetime in 2024 but considering that they haven’t given an update on this since early this year, I doubt it will happen this year.

But it will happen soon.

This will be a pain in the ass for my workplace because we primarily use Digicert and manually renewing certificates every 90 days is just impossible for use. We are currently looking into a way to switch to letsencrypt or similar.
