How about clicking a document link, and they fucking put Word as a tab inside Teams, just so Teams can be even more bloated and make viewing documents a pain. Teams have come a long way from when I started my job, now it’s not a dysfunctional mess, but things like that still annoy me.
When you change your password for something and the Gmail app takes you to the internal browser and 1password doesn’t recognize the password field so you switch to 1password but when you come back to Gmail the internal browser window is gone
This really triggered an itch in me and I’m having trouble finding answers. It sounds like .profile might get sourced by your desktop environment when you log in but I’m having trouble finding out one way or the other. Every search I make just ends up with people asking about shells.
While we’re on this topic, why does “update and shutdown” reboot the PC after updating? Just had this the other day. Was in my bed when I heard the PC running and when I got up to check, lo and behold, the login screen…
This is what is supposed to happen with that option, in reality there is a very good chance that it just doesn’t shut itself off afterward. Back when I used the OS I would have it set to auto update and since I shut my computer off nightly I didn’t have a problem with it, but I found that it had a fairly good chance that if it updated when I shut it down my computer would still be running when I woke up in the morning. My work around that I put for it is I put a scheduled shutdown in task scheduler for early in the morning when I knew I was never up so if the system had restarted but failed to power itself back off again it would turn itself off.
Also, I like how this problem had a really simple solution all along
There really isn’t anything we can do to prevent memory safety vulnerabilities from happening if the programmer doesn’t want to write their code in a robust manner.
Yeah, totally, it’s all those faulty programmers fault. They should’ve written good programmes instead of the bad ones, but they just refuse to listen
Right, those devs with 20+ years C experience don’t know shit about the language and are just lazy. They don’t want to catch up with the times and write safe C. It’s me, the dude with 5 years of university experience who will set it straight. Look at my hello world program, not a single line of vulnerable code.
Yeah, for sure. Human error is involved in C and inertia too. New coding practices and libraries aren’t used, tests aren’t written, code quality sucks (variable names in C are notoriously cryptic), there’s little documentation, many things are rewritten (seems like everybody has rewritten memory allocation at least once), one’s casual void * is another’s absolute nono, and so on.
It has nothing to do with knowing the language and everything to do with what’s outside of the language. C hasn’t resembled CPUs for decades and can’t be reasonably retrofitted for safety.
