TORFdot0 , to technology in Millennials: It's ok to mourn the death of social media

Mourning? More like dancing on its grave. With the fediverse being everything social media 1.0 was and more, there is no need for the legacy platforms. I just hope that the fediverse can get some more traction with folks outside tech circles and we can normalize cooperation and free social platforms as in free speech not as in free beer.

TORFdot0 , to technology in Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices

AWS/GCP is an order of magnitude more expensive for those specs. And they would ban you for downloading copyrighted material without a VPN. So I wouldn’t recommend that. I was able to get a similar set up using Linode but the specs were way worse and I couldn’t do transcoding, and I didn’t torrent using the $5 a month VPS.

Where are you getting a 4 core 8GB VPS for $5 a month with unlimited bandwidth/CPU time?

All the reputable providers have 1GB, single core shared compute for that price.

TORFdot0 , to fediverse in Lemmy posts are starting to pop up on search results with Google (+ other search engines)

The cool thing about the fediverse is that if grows to much where and the moderation turns to crap on some instances, you can always defederate from those problem instances and avoid the trouble makers entirely. Instance admins can always turn off sign ups when they feel like they have reached their limits for moderation as well. And users can always self host their own instances and only let the people they trust sign up. The fediverse is more resilient than traditional corporate run social media

As a consumer, having certified static hardware configuration means you know exactly how it’s going to run off reviews on the same hardware. You know that you are going to get support the manufacturer and aren’t going to have to worry about the manufacturer of the motherboard pointing fingers at the manufacturer of the GPU or RAM or CPU if you have a problem. Updates and driver support is all handled by the OS.

But probably the biggest reason is that consoles already have the best name recognition, higher user adoption, and hardware is sold at a discount compared to comparable PCs.

TORFdot0 , to technology in Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’

Unless twitter gets an actual bank charter and is regulated by the FDIC, X wouldn’t get a cent from me. Even if they claimed to pay incredible APY. Elon musk would steal billions from his customers and wouldn’t blink. And if your deposits aren’t insured then your money isn’t real.

TORFdot0 , to sysadmin in fuck Adobe and fuck their licensing

Expensive as hell, it insists I use their insecure office add on “PDF Maker” but people around here find it worth $350 a year to be able to merge pdf’s from the context menu so I’m stuck trying to find ways to support it with out compromising the network. I hate the adobe suite

The app support was just so bad in a time where it couldn’t afford to be that bad. But yes windows phone 8 was my favorite UX for a smart phone ever

TORFdot0 , to technology in Top Apple analyst says MacBook demand has fallen 'significantly'

That’s pretty much describes me. I was a notorious macOS hater for a long time. But the battery life, quiet cooling, and overall power of the m1/2 has totally converted me.

TORFdot0 , to technology in Top Apple analyst says MacBook demand has fallen 'significantly'

If you’ve gotten on apple silicon there really isn’t any reason to upgrade within the ecosystem yet. M1 is still amazing in terms of processing power to battery.

And with Macs fetching premium prices, people are going to use their device longer and longer

TORFdot0 , to technology in Microsoft is preparing to bring on Amazon as a customer of its 365 cloud tools in a $1 billion megadeal, according to an internal document

Yes OneDrive is such a cluster. A lot of resellers will try to sell SharePoint as a drop in replacement to AD/SMB shares and it’s not and it causes all sorts of issues if you try to use it that way. We get all the same problems with OneDrive creating endless shortcuts if you use more than 1 PC, problems with the sync client creating new folders for automatically synced libraries every time it has a major update and so on.

If you (not talking about you specifically) half-ass the migration to 365 instead of completely retraining your employees on how to work with files and how to use SharePoint correctly. The problems is that the marketing and documentation make it seem easier than it is, and so most orgs don’t realize it until it’s already become a shitshow. That’s how it was for us too.

365 increase your risk profile as it increases the dependency on an outside vendor and increase the attack surface, but it gives you so much more tools for mitigating the inherent risk in running exchange, SharePoint, RDP on premise that it’s absolutely worth the investment. If not 365, then workspace. In my opinion you will spend more trying to maintain and properly protect AD+Exchange than you would properly configuring M365, Entra (Azure AD), and Intune.

TORFdot0 , to news in US campuses in uproar as Israel-Palestine conflict exposes divide

You are right that Palestinian civilians deserve to be able to live in peace and safety but Hamas is the one taking civilians hostages and using them as human shields. Either Israel has a right to defend its borders against its neighbors who hate them and wish to kill their innocent citizens or it has no right to exist.
