no, rooted in Marxism. if you don't understand the nature of international aid and how it is never unconditional then lol. USAID explicitly speaks of this in discussion papers, of aids leverage role and how it can be used to exert influence over policy. what do you think the states' / imf / world banks historical activity in Latin America was about, the goodness of their hearts?

hey, if you know you're too american to achieve any good with doing things for people you can't walk to because you'll just ruin things to the favor of some corporate board or megachurch, that's a shame but at least you're being responsible

intel has to create fake phones and tablets for their commercials because nobody wants to actually use their awful excuses for mobile products

also the windows brand is completely toxic and it's dumb nerds [us in this dead forum] who are the only people who think otherwise

microsoft has been drunkwalking for years

intel has been abusive for decades and at this point they don't even care who sees them abusing ... well, just about anyone who doesn't run away from them

failing that, network reset, re-add

failing that, make sure your drivers are up to date, then network reset &c

Main Paineframe posted:

well, no one else is getting paid to do QA for Microsoft either

On the one hand, you'll never catch nearly as much in QA as you will in real-world testing, because your QA is probably doing things reasonably and the real-world testing is the guy in the corner office whose understanding of using a general-purpose computer probably fits cleanly into a textbook model of the cycle of abuse.

On the other hand, dogfooding should be wider-spread in your organization, even if only as a show of confidence.

i took my work laptop home and it has this bizarre issue where it can't reach ipv4 addresses but seems to have no problem with ipv6 traffic

fixed routing demanding IPv4 servers that only exist at work, but no actual restrictions on ipv6 because that doesn't exist at work so why would IT think it exists anywhere else?

does ms still say disabling ipv6 is a ‘best practice’ along with static ipv4 addressing for every server? because that’s fun.

probably not, but 1) "we don't have ipv6 so it's not a thing" and 2) "that's what the best practices said in 1998 so"

cinci zoo sniper posted:

Some of the names being thrown around as possible acquisitions by Microsoft are, frankly, astounding, even unthinkable. But the fact that they are doing the rounds is instructive. The most recent one we heard (from a reliable source close to Microsoft) was, in fact, Electronic Arts. We also heard a whisper about Valve and about Korean outfit PUBG Corp., which Microsoft last year signed to a timed exclusive for its hit survival shooter, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

Wouldn't EA dying of Microsoft Acquisition Syndrome be a net good for the world, maybe force an org chart shuffle at MS, and basically only hurt people who willingly subjected themselves to working at EA?

Valve I'd appreciate MS waiting until a few more GOG Connect events happen, and PUBG wouldn't really mean anything yet, but EA's well into 'do it you cowards' territory.

eh, ea did a 180 from worst to best companies to work for, surprisingly enough. as much as i love internet circlejerks, im not sure there's be much gain here, especially considering that none of their games is a ps4 exclusive to begin with.

also what on earth is a gog connect event

1) i really want to see a comeuppance for loot boxes

it may not be rational but it's what it is

2) sometimes when GOG gets to start selling games that came out on Steam first they give you whichever of the games you already had on Steam
