That’s what I thought, too. I’m sure it’s a problem SOMEWHERE, but did we just get slapped with a global solution to a locally inexistent issue?

I’ve heard that there’s a measurable effect, though, even in Europe, so I guess it’s okay. The extent of that effect? Probably comparable to non-plastic straws. Meaning almost none, just political.

Heh, it’s a numbered list.

A coldinator! And after the president the whole tri-state area!

Sadly, it’s not just the US. Too many states are stuck in Israel defaultism.

Everyone should get the chance to prove themselves an asshole.

… This is a really bad time for a “I am Spartacus” thing.

I would recommend a VM to try a few things. HyperV, while not the greatest, is good to start off and comes with Windows Pro. Set up a Debian or Ubuntu and a Windows VM and take away its internet. That should get you most of the way.

Anything that exists is ridiculously expensive. 20k+ for the cheapest option. Last I checked at least.

Literally what I’m waiting for. I live alone, I have a 5km commute with crappy public transport. Too far to walk, bike in winter sucks, so some closed space for one or two people that can transport a bit of groceries is the largest I want. Smart sized, but affordable please.

For a while at least. Let’s hope it doesn’t last.

Heh, pardon.

Does the island protection with if you have two inverters running independently? (legally or not)

Also, emergency service hazard. The PV won’t turn off if firefighters take out the mains, which makes a house potentially inaccessible during an emergency.

And understandably you wouldn’t switch plans if all you’re talking to is sales without context.

That’s how I approve time off. I realize people have dependents and school vacations and shit, so - if it even comes to that - I’ll ask if they can move it. But I see their ‘request’ more as a notice that they’ll be away, because they can always be ‘sick’. So I’m trying to preserve the trusting relationship instead.

Because honestly, the world will keep turning even if we miss that arbitrary deadline by two weeks. Or six months.

we use vmware because customers do. if they migrate - which they might because of the licensing thing - we will too. so it’s an actual possibility already.

fingers crossed!

and we still can’t get vmware to run properly on our company laptops. current theory is p/e core scheduling shenanigans. it’s only been two years, what can you expect from the global leaders in virtualization and os.

i swear, before i upgrade I’ll move my team to Linux. I’ve been mainlining debian for six years without issues, INCLUDING RUNNING VMWARE.

So noone is going to mention the recent Most Upsetting Guessing Game In The World episode?

I am disappoint.

Thereby rendering the definition of antisemitism meaningless.
