always use FDE and strong passwords, even on personal machines

not only does it protect your data, but it protects everyone your data refers to, and helps disincentivize computer theft as a way to steal information, which benefits everyone

i kind of want to be able to define specific window stacks that are then treated like one window. like, three windows and when they're all positioned/sized relative to each other i can lock them and then drag the whole shebang around if need be

this happens with eclipse on a mac

and by happens i mean moving a windows ancestor also moves that window XD

probably, except each one keeps their half written in red marker on a sticky note on the outside of their desk, right next to a series of sticky notes with usage instructions scrawled out by some poor cj

the last sticky has a suicide note written on the back. no one will ever notice until long, long after the cj goes missing

hello yospos microsoft thread

i wanted to share a lil experience i had the other day with microsoft office autoupdater on os x yosemite

i installed the new outlook for mac which prompted autoupdater to pop up and suggest i let it do its thing automatically to which i said yes. it then started to download a lync update which grabbed screen focus every 3 seconds so that i couldn't do anything on my macbook pro while it downloaded, very frustrating.

when the lync update installer opened the autoupdater window appeared in front of it, prompting me to download the same lync update i had just downloaded. no matter what i did, this prompt kept reappearing and prevented me from installing lync - force quitting the updater just made the updater window close and reappear a second later.

another microsoft experience: i once got the opportunity to cj an azure server to federate as an identity provider or w/e with some other third party services so people could use sso - turns out azure is really, really bad at doing sso with things like netsuite openair or successfactors. ms support suggested using a thing where you manually enter every user's login and password for each web service you want to sso with.

welp, thanks for reading :sweatdrop:

you forgot the part where it kills Dock.app for no reason*.

*the reason is so it can spam all of the office icons into the dock, but it only does that on the first install.

also for your federation issue id be inclined to blame OpenAir as much as azure - OpenAir is goddamn trash and I hate it (though I only use it for expense reporting and requesting PTO)
