My authenticator app requires my fingerprint, which is biometric, so fingerprint plus device for the MFA.

Fingerprint + Authenticator as well.

Fuck passwords, use proper MFA.

Phishing training is good though.

Thank you.

However, the article doesn’t mention whether or not 75% is an abnormal percentage for these cards.

The top cards on the latest steam survey are are the 3060 and 4060, followed by things like the 4050 and 1650, 4060 Ti and 3060 Ti

So they seem like the most popular cards even from before, and likely made up a large portion of sales anyways.

The number one google result is Owncast.

Looks like it doesn’t save the video by default but there are workarounds to record it.

No.

The scarcity isn’t artificial though. The actual objects are not available in the quantities needed to keep prices level.

The reasoning for that matters not at all.

Someone is buying every single chip that SK Hynix and Nvidia are producing. The fabs they’re using are all running at maximum capacity.

Those chips are going somewhere.

Scarcity applies to the things that actually exist, or not.

There are fewer graphics cards being made for consumers right now than there were a few years ago, and they have less memory on them on average.

It’s not really artificial scarcity, there is actually less consumer hardware available at the moment.

To add to this a bit, if the site is just a single page that will be fine. If your site has a bunch of pages that all need to share the same theme and headers and footers and such it may be worth learning a simple templating system that runs before the site is sent for hosting.

That way if you need to update something in the design or theme you can do it once, rather than on dozens of pages.

Personally I use eleventy for my little site.

I don’t see your argument against teams.

It sounds like:

“It’s all together in one place, how dare they.”

At this point I don’t even bother using the desktop version of outlook, the web app is easier for emails and my calendar is in teams.

You act like cloud services are bad, they aren’t. If they were terrible, people would be switching away from them. They’re adding value beyond their cost and everyone knows it.

Could Microsoft be better at some things? Sure.

But they’re already far better than the alternative, which is a janky ass system of 30 different products from 30 different vendors.

Total number of businesses maybe, but they account for something like two thirds of all employees.

You can’t really say it’s much of a business IT stack if it’s just a single freelancer using a Mac.

They wouldn’t be setting up teams in the first place.

“lots of businesses operate on macOS”

No, they definitely do not. If you go into any business in Canada or the US with more than 200 employees, they are running windows on the computers sitting in front of every office drone they have.

Very specific industries or business may, especially those who are stuck on Adobe’s software, but “lots” is extremely far from the truth.

There’s no mass exodus towards Linux in the business user space.

It’s still 99.9% Microsoft Windows.

Lync, not Lynx.

And technically Lync got birthed from the corpse of Office Communicator, not MSN messenger.

I quite literally teach and consult on Teams, and have for 8 years now. I worked with Lync, Skype for Business, and Communicator before that.

People complain about it all the time, and yet… I’ve never had any significant issues with it.

Other than M365 outages, which impact everyone, I’ve never seen it crash. I’ve never had issues not loading. I’ve never had sound or sharing issues that couldn’t be resolved by clicking the dropdown and selecting the correct option.

It can be a bit slow, especially loading file related stuff, but it’s not any worse than a network drive.

Placeholder avatars in different parts of the App? Teams doesn’t even support task assignment, tasks are handled in MS Planner which is an entirely different product that just happens to be visible inside Teams if you want.

Touch? Mac? Airpods? What the fuck are you doing? You aren’t doing real business tasks if you’re using an iPad.

Maybe the people with problems are the ones running 10 year old hardware with a barely supported operating system?

No it doesn’t. Plenty of people do it out of fear or even laziness.

You realize the animals in the wilderness kill each other constantly and frequently starve to death when the slightest thing goes wrong, right?

Plenty of examples of people burning down capitalism/mercantilism based societies too… It’s happening right now in the US.

Capitalism is not freedom, nor the devil. It’s just a tool. The same as communism or socialism. They each have their pros and cons.

Look at Canada, better healthcare because… Socialism. Cheaper more functional electrical companies because… Socialism. Then they use Capitalism for other industries that work just fine.

The economic system should really be set per-industry based on which one is likely to provide the best outcome.

As a broad overview, In my opinion, Communism should be used for land ownership, Socialism for core necessities, and Capitalism for luxuries.
