infernal machines posted:requiring airprint for 100% print compatibility and zero-config printing isn't really making things hard for anyone but poo poo-tier printer manufacturers while this is true, it is also poo poo easy for apple to just say "sorry vendors, while airprint is great yadda yadda, read pg. 1285 pph 5 section 4 where we say if in conditions we need to.... yea.. we're now providing base drivers for all common make/models of wifi enabled printers.. sorry" it'd be a new line in the settings app under general "Printers" to set up a printer by hand instead of having airprint. woopdiedoo still will prolly be better than msft's version

computer parts posted:there's still a fair ways they can go guess who in university also had a thin client as a lab workstation me it was a full on unix workstation that was simply a 'thin' client despite its for the time massive graphics and memory inside i was at an automotive engineering school, a fairly respected one at the time the seat licenses for the apps i did CAD in on a unix workstation acting purely as a thin client were absurd amounts of money for me to sit and use those 'thin clients' which by all desciptions they were

im just saying, evaluate what you think is a 'thin client' i know HP and all are totally sold on this one take on it but sometimes thin clients require a lot of horsepower too, and they are still 100% 'cloud' driven with no function beside as a client the thinner they get, the less intensive the tasks involved it's a delineation between 'client machines' in purpose, and user desktops. if the users actually have real need for an actual desktop, then they should get one, and forcing a client machine on them doesnt make sense. if it's a rote job that is simply to interact with x, be it internet access or just getting to an old AS/400, , 'thin clients' or full client machines are desirable. to tldr the poo poo, if the users get insulted by using a client machine then its probably the wrong choice

mod sassinator posted:same, we had thin clients at a big state university 15 years ago. it was great for us in CS because we just ssh'ed into a shell account (run on big Sun servers, lol) and hacked around anyway. for everyone else it sucked pretty hard exactly. if you were in it with the right reasons you knew what was up on the other hand, if you mandate that thin clients are going to replace PCs in an environment that's not purely entry level type poo poo, you're probably an rear end in a top hat and likely not going to see the returns you seek

thanks, to those who now just got the fact that there are two threads about microsoft, and comment a lot now about how there are two threads, and even better - post the identical thing in both threads now because pram did it and he's a good poster so let's be like that and just post the same stupid bullshit copy-paste style in both threads!

it's not that microsoft has any real relevant level of excellence or even competence with bing it's that google keeps making GBS threads up their results worse and worse and worse and bing is relatively unfiltered
