Windows 2000, to the Judge while on trial: I know every Windows is allowed but four reuses of the archaic printer spool, and I partook six. I realise the error of these actions. They will never be repeated. I throw myself at your mutex.

IoT makes sense in industrial stuff where you can fire the dude whose job it was to watch a dial somewhere. When it goes down you yell at the vendor who you have a 500k contract and a real SLA with. If you have on location stuff you can avoid having people around for monitoring bullshit. If it gets hacked you crush the vendor under your feet

Does this chart mean that printer drivers have to choose whether to accept xps or gdi as their native input format? If so, are printers actually choosing the former rather than the latter?

I ran sonarqube against our companies main product. there are 10 hardcoded username and passwords in our source code. Thanks, junior India developers! I had to drop everything I was doing to write a report and send it to the CFO. Luckily most of those were for demo purposes, but 4 of them were from production. But hey! We have TLS 1.3 support! It's like having a foot thick steel door next to an open window!

A few years back I was on AT&T's DSL service and the installer said "they didn't give me enough power bricks for the modem, so gently caress it I'm just giving everyone free battery backups" so I had my modem on battery backup. I already had a UPS for my NAS/router/switch, but it was nice.

I already had a UPS for my NAS/router/switch, but it was nice. my apartment came with the fios system meant for phones, but i don't have a phone plan so they "disabled" the battery backup by just... removing the battery. like $20 for a sealed lead-acid battery later and bam, working fine i have UPS'es on everything else too though, both because the power does occasionally go out here (suspiciously often on friday/saturday nights with clear skies and no wind, so presumably drunks slamming into transformers) and because my dad put them on goddamn everything and i picked up the habit

Microsoft handled this by creating supposedly open standards for its formats, even though for example a lot of the OOXML spec is just like "insert a binary blob here and do whatever unspecified behavior word does," and they somehow got (bribed?) ISO to approve it. mystes fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Feb 14, 2019 |

PDF wasn't open soresed until 2008 and even then it isn't really open because its still largely adobes format. its still to this day a huge pain in the rear end to implement readers and editors for it. Microsoft created a PDF addon to office 2007 because adobe wouldn't let them include it in office by default. Adobe was still making money on acrobat and a pdf capable Word would eliminate acrobats entire market.
