It always comes down to the vendor and driver.

On Linux, I had to go through a dozen different drivers and just as many driver versions before I found the one that worked with my printer. For Windows, it worked immediately.

With my old printer, though, it was the opposite experience. Took forever to get it working on Windows but Linux got it immediately.

You’d think by now, with the dozen different printing standards that exist, we’d have some sort of plug and play driver that could work with every printer.

Set up a CUPS server and it’ll work fine with Windows too.

Printers are a massive headache on both. But at least with CUPS it’s only a massive headache once.

If you’re lounging around, 60 is perfect.

If you’re doing work outside, 50 is perfect.

If you’re doing heavy exercise, 40 is perfect.

Doesn’t Mastodon and Lemmy require 5 users before allowing federation?

Age discrimination only applies if you’re above 40.

And when they’re not showing weather reports, they’re showing off dope tornadoes and hurricanes and shit.

Oh it absolutely did not work properly. We lost a $300M lawsuit because the system would bill clients wrong.

What’s the use case?

Like for anything financial, Excel files are preferable.

Although I will say this. Companies are lying when they say they want Excel exports. They don’t. They want CSV but they don’t know the difference.

I work in Finance at my company and we always save revised copies for Excel files instead of saving over.

But we also have strict rules on it. File name is always “xxxx_Workbook Template Name_MMDDYY.xlsx” or “_YYYY_MM.xlsx”, depending on how often it gets updated.

Older versions get moved to a subfolder. It helps us go back and find out what something was if there was a mistake or revert back if Excel done fucks up.

My old company had a revenue system built in-house that only could run on MS-DOS. We needed a VM just to use it.

I left that company in 2019 and they were still using it.

Nah, the worst part is when I have to watch someone else use Excel.

YOU DON’T NEED TO RIGHT CLICK AND SELECT COPY. YOU CAN JUST PRESS CTRL+C.

And virtually none of them know how to paste values, so all the templates end up messed up.

At least for Ubuntu, you do need to set the permissions of the AppImage before it’ll launch.

I still haven’t figured out how to make .desktop files work yet.

I get mandatory tips on large parties as long as the policy is made clear before ordering. But like you said, service charges are ridiculous and so are mandatory tips for small groups.

I didn’t even bother getting the best price. I just selected things that would work well.

Get an LSI HBA in IT Mode for another $60 to add another 8 drives.

The case was chosen because it can support 11 drives. It comes with six bays by default but you can buy packs of two bays for $15.

As is, this will cost ~$560 plus the drives and allow you to use eleven 3.5", but cheaper and better options for the PSU, mobo, SSD and memory are out there. I just selected things that would be useful for what you need and provide better hardware than a Synology.

If you don’t need as much storage, you can shave off $160 with a cheaper case and skip the HBA.

That would be great, but you can buy a $20 burner from a gas station that’s more powerful than those phones.

The regular version uses the Allwinner A64 chip which retailed for $5 when it was released… Back in 2015.

The Pro version uses the RK3399S, which is a custom lower binned version of the RK3399. Neither chip was made available retail, but the SK3399 was released in 2016 and only otherwise used in low-end Chromebooks and SBCs.

I’ve got no problem with it, especially after I created some macros to tag and sort my emails.

Not Oracle Cloud ERP/EPM though. Those are the worst programs I have to use on a daily basis. For whatever godforsaken reason, the Smart View extensions for the Office apps are all connected to each other so if you’re running some SV function in Excel, Outlook will freeze up.

No worries, you can just disable the plugins in the other apps, right? Wrong. The plugins automatically re-enable each other.

I had a problem with some software I was using a few weeks back. I googled the error and the one result was a closed GitHub issue matching it exactly.

The sole reply just said that the poster should stop being lazy because the problem has been discussed in other issue reports.

Except that was the very first issue created for that repository.

Yep, Hank would have traveled to a library and rented the disc, watched one episode, and returned it immediately. Then he’d repeat the process each time he wanted to watch an episode.

I don’t. My four month-old doesn’t understand DST

It’s only the wrong solution if you’re writing something where every operation needs to be accounted for. Modulo is a great, easy, readable method otherwise.

Not too certain on C++, but I think this would be the cleanest implementation that still somewhat optimizes itself:

private bool IsEven(int number){
    return !(number % 2)
}
