What's something about the fediverse you know but most people seem not to? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Much like good old MySQL, it's named for its creator and the last name My is pronounced 'me'. At least that's what I remember hearing or reading somewhere... I'm sadly too uncultured to know for sure (never made it that far around the globe).

All those examples have the company (the ISP in this case) choosing to hire someone, this would be more similar to:

If someone rents a hotel room, and then gets busted by the police for prostitution, is the hotel liable?

I'll admit I didn't open the article, as far as I'm aware the best way to sidestep silly requirements like warrants is to just purchase data intended for advertising. Databrokers really have an amazing wealth of info ready to be tapped into, all you gotta do is pay.

90 days is standard for "you're code is fucked when someone presses this..."; if the issue is Dave left the keys in the parking lot and someone copied them, two weeks is more than enough time for them to recieve the notice, create a ticket to rotate the keys and a ticket to trigger an investigation (gotta document anytime an org fucks up so it doesn't happen again, right?). Maybe I'm over simplifying it though, I don't know how their org operates.

Windows 10 only has a year of support: 12 months left to keep Copilot off your desktop or learn Linux in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

Oh they aren't shared, he is holding out because he believes he'll have gaming issues; my wife on the other hand, just doesn't want to make the switch yet.

I probably could have phrased it better.

Edit: when I had said 'his last computer', meant that he just has one left on Windows.

Because she still like the familiarity of Windows. She doesn't do anything specific to Windows, just doesn't want to leave it yet.

Been doing that for the past 15 years or so, being able to use group policy is essential with Windows. I'm pretty sure my son really wants to upgrade his last computer (to Linux), but I may have more work to convince the wife.

I always just bought grey market keys (for Pro/Enterprise), in nearly 20 years I never had one fail or quit working randomly.

The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing in c/games@lemmy.world

[–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 10 points 1 month ago

I don't disagree they are their games, but is it their emulator, or did they just download one of the many online? Really doesn't matter, just love to see companies bitch about something, then turn around and do it themselves.

How "out of date" is Debian really? in c/linux@programming.dev

[–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's exactly why Debian is my go to.
