Maybe a local construction company dumping stuff?

I used Sublime Text for YEARS, then they kept changing the license and pricing model, so with everyone at work going to VSCode I finally gave in for scripts and web dev. For Java (which is a decent chunk of my day) I use Intellij.

I don’t think it’s fair to jump on Microsoft for this one. Windows 10 has been out for almost 10 years. Apple gives less support for systems than 10 years, they are closer to 8, which is still a while.

If you bought a PC in 2018 or later it should support tpm in the CPU, if it doesn’t it’s on Dell or HP or whomever made the system. If you built a pc you can buy a TPM for most motherboards.

Microsoft said you can pay for updates for windows 10 if you want. If your parents core i5-2700 with 4gb of ram from 2012 will no longer get free updates… that seems fair… or go to Linux, but we know most people won’t. Honestly it would be a great time for a “convert to chromeOS installer”

And that’s why I like working from home

There is also a big enterprise group who write extra verbose legacy java, vs a more modern light way to write

I have already seen my and other companies say things like “we were going to role vSAN but after our recent license talks we are not”

Android OEMs also get android…

I feel like anyone doing any automation with aws could hit this

It makes it not feel like a premium device

Another worry could be: how do you know if it’s a real victim who needs help, or an AI generated image.

I love the little robots

The brave browser allows you to Picture in Picture and blocks ads!

My car has an alarm if they drop 0.1 psi

Drill brush!

Also Brave Browser, I use it just for YouTube. It allows backgrounding of videos, Picture in Picture, and ad blocks.

How long till all the trains are delayed because people in masks pushed it on the tracks

Micro SD cards, 1TB that tiny, for $50

The glory days!

No one else said it… I like Java, and more than the language all the tools available around it. They have been adding to the language to cut down on the traditional verboseness, and it can even natively compile now** some of the time.

The tools are also great, with Springboot for web services and jOOQ for databases, you can very quickly have a web app with strong typed database objects.

I have used Rocket.Chat before, their free version supports most of the features they have, and the web client is good. You can setup webhooks in and out for different automations you may want.
