punishedkissinger posted:everyone getting hype for Windows 11??? GAMERZ are currently having a run on TPM modules, stocks have evaporated in my area. Other than that most of the “new” stuff is a over glorified skin and most of that you could have done with stardock software(and bluestacks). The android apps in windows store being revolutionary in most blogs/YouTube hides the fact that those are Amazon android apps, devoid of google runtimes, so all your google play store android purchases won’t work.

Why is there a run on TPM modules? Did crypto people figure out how to use its hashing function to mine buttcoin?

Seriously though, there are no company rules against this stuff? Most major corps have rules about this sort of stuff. A couple companies ago though, we were HQ'd out of Atlanta, and IT upper management would get events like driving Porches at the racetrack, and Masters/Golf event tickets from our NetApp VAR, who of course we spent several Million dollars a year with. Totally all above board I'm sure....

Man, I feel like such a fuckup. I've gotten a few SOC Analyst interviews, which is already a miracle considering my resume. I've even made it to the third round twice, but I inevitably mess up because being a hermit from the pandemic has made me socially stiff, and I was already an awkward person in the first place. I thought I had nailed my most recent interview. I said something incredibly dumb right at the literal end, which I immediately regretted the second it left my mouth. It's gonna be one of those things that just pop up in my shower or right-before-sleep thoughts for the rest of my life.

People say dumb poo poo all the time. Don't beat yourself up over it. Hopefully it was something you had a chance to clarify, if not, I would focus on being able to work on that part of the social interaction and not the part where you never say something dumb.

Oh, I definitely had a chance to clarify. I'm pretty sure I made it worse with a panic response. The company actually called to give me a rejection, which I've never experienced before. Not sure if it's better to get ghosted or getting a call to be told 'No."

Not sure if it's better to get ghosted or getting a call to be told 'No." In my limited experience a direct rejection is worse, being ghosted is usually a "better luck next time" while flat out rejection is "never try again". Depends on the professionalism of the company HR.

As far as I know TPM is used to store cryptographic keys. Very useful for drive encryption systems (Bitlocker and others). For home users, that probably will never use Bitlocker, why would MS require TPM? To validate/tie to hardware a windows installation? Product key?

We literally had to turn off Teams access for their dept, the rest of the company has been using it for about 2.5 years at this point. How does *one* department get to make a decision like that? Do you not have company software standards? How do they communicate with the rest of the company? Sickening posted:I think their data center folks were starting at 90k.

Pretty sure online retailers could fix the scalping problem if they really wanted to. Or maybe not - I'm not a web-dev or coder.

ARS and all the mumsnet like tech press has started doing articles on tpm so whichever little stock existed is now gone. I'm sorta conflicted on my home computers, one is an old as hell laptop and is starting to break down, the other tower is still fully operational (beside the audio jacks being broken). The laptop will get replaced once oems start making native win11 metal(and not w10 kit with a different sticker on it), the other I'm thinking to just replace it with a m1 mini and forget about having to handle this mess of compatibility guidelines for homebuilt.

I was looking into upgrading my home computer a couple of months ago, but held off because prices are stupid crazy. Pretty glad I did now. Will wait another year or so, hopefully prices will be back to semi normal and I can do it painlessly.

Windows 10 will be supported until 2025 so you're in no rush to upgrade. And within the year I'm pretty sure every new motherboard will have the TPM module built in.

Too bad those new motherboards are going to be permanently sold out for the next couple years. Microsoft's timing is pretty poo poo on this one, we're gonna use every minute of that 2025 date for W10 (ignoring all the usual integration delays with a major OS update).

Sickening posted:What is good? Most communication platforms have less desirable sides but Teams is the absolute worst. The grouping of teams/channels is garbage. The random invisible state of channels inside a team is garbage. Managing notifications is garbage (the default settings for this are a landfill). The lack of structure in your chat history is horrible. Search in even just a few months of history is returning more false positives than actual results. The entire UI is a burning dumpster. The only thing that does work without issues is video conferencing/screensharing, but that does not make up for all the other crap. I hope MS forces their entire company to eat their own dogfood so the engineers from other departments will get so fed up using this crap that they’ll start improving it themselves. Basically what they did with Azure DevOps.
