Thanks for this, really handy
And the bar icons ... in the end I just bought Bartender to cope with the notch.
Still used in Windows IT environments as it's portable, even if it is a bit slow and there is no console version for generating tree-maps for remote viewing.
In my experience large Microsoft customers deployed applications with SCCM, now perhaps moving to Intune. Distributing MSIs via group policy is fairly primitive compared to what endpoint management platforms can offer.…
I'm wondering how much of the frustration in the comments here is due as much to the arcane design of the Windows Installer format as to shortfalls in WiX and its documentation. I would say that you need a good…
When Microsoft launched the (let's face it, baroque) complexity that is Windows Installer (MSI), we didn't get the WiX Toolset, instead we got an expensive proprietary profiling tool for capturing before/after…
Isn't the licensing an issue? As far as I can tell you can't use Obsidian at your workplace without an annual commercial license, which is fair enough but maybe too heavy a lift for many.
You'll care about it if you can't pay for you coffee at Starbucks or whatever. I'm not if there is overlap between Oracle's public cloud and their own hosted services, but a lot of hospitality runs on Oracle (formerly…
And Freehand was better than Illustrator IMHO, but Adobe bundled Illustrator with Photoshop to schools and so we lost a great drawing and layout tool.
The JRE security horrorshow might have started before the Oracle aquisition, and we wanted rid of java on the desktop for the same reason we wanted rid of flash. Apple used to advertise that only Windows suffered from…
* "detected state activity", or even "detected foreign state activity". WTF does "nation-state" mean? Bhutan?
Quiet ... I'm typing this on a Lenovo P15s whose fan only stops when the laptop is off. Not sure if it would be so loud as a hackintosh but constant fan noise can really harsh your mellow
This is the research inspiring Naomi "Sexy Cyborg" Wu's wearable microphone jammer (a choker), see https://youtu.be/H1rozZ7ebxQ?t=111 and later on at https://youtu.be/H1rozZ7ebxQ?t=1319 for live testing out in public.
In New Zealand as a young teen you had to wait until midnight before pop radio was turned over to one of Peel-inspired DJs until five in the morning, playing all this plus Aussie and Kiwi music. Sometimes it was easier…
I assume it's going to ignore the system-wide autocorrect settings, and lack any option to disable spellcheck, which is one more reason to use the web version. With Teams I just rename "node-spellchkr.OFF" each time it…
> Windows gets this right. _If_ you turn it all the way up. The default setting "3" allows certain "approved" apps to be launched without the UAC prompt, based on what's in their manifest I think. Turn it up to "4" and…
Where did Epstein's money come from? He claimed to be a hedge fund manager for select clients, however in the aftermath of his rearrest after the Miami Herald series there were comments from Wall Street people that…
Homes are heated with communal hot water, wood gassification (pellet burners), heat exchange with the ground or deeper bore-holes, or electricity. Not much gas, heating oil was gone by the 80's sometime.
Many Swedish suburbs are supplied with communal hot water for heating (fjärrvärme) produced by burning non-recyclable rubbish or maybe a local factory. The last stage of houses built near us was so thermally efficient…
Not really familliar with PCI DSS but it might be that the card-readers/terminals aren't PCI-compliant if opened? So not the manufacturer's issue but the customer's.
Not Syria but Syrian music, from Aleppo to be precise. I saw the Al-Kindi Ensemble (http://www.alkindi.org/) many years ago, and you can find an album on Spotify. The whole evening was enchanting, and reading up on…
I like to think wankers who stop hospitals go to jail and never work with a PC again. It would be nice if those BTC were hard to cash out too.
Very minor quibble with the copy on the front page, it should read "It's likely your long-term tasks are being shunted to the side", not "shunned". Like a train, not a shame.
Less useful on non-US keyboards, unfortunately, may require three keys in combination.
Powershell's "native executable" story (running things which aren't cmdlets) has never been simple or graceful [1], which means that posh scripters might call exes like curl more explicitly and avoid the alias…
