If you told me 10 years ago that people would be falling over themselves to PAY to build Orwellian tracking network on behalf of corporations for no reason at all I'd have called you completely insane.

I wonder what life is like with an IQ that low. I thought dumb people were supposed to be cheery but I guess not.

Normal people (idiots) would rather spend 4 years of their overall life "hacking" with Windows to avoid 30 minutes learning to use a forward slash.

There's a word for software that does actions without the user's permission or knowledge.

That word is MALWARE

The SMART thing to do is to buy a DUMB TV. Pay a little more and get a real TV- you know. A display, with speakers and HDMI inputs. Nothing else.

Has HP printers always been this bad? by Reygle in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 59 points 8 months ago

15 years ago HP was among the best in the business. They made workhorse products that did millions of pages (and those old models continue to)

Today HP is a malware and telemetry company who won't let the average consumer use their printer without a logged-in HP account slurping telemetry about every aspect of their lives. Any consumer who buys a printer with the letter "e" in the model number is paying money to be spied on. Anyone who buys a non-"e" model is still doing so, but in a less VISUALLY obvious, and obnoxious way.

This is not random assumption. I'm a tech. Anyone who buys an HP Printer today and asks me to install them gets a fast education on why they shouldn't cut the packing tape on that box.

Buy Brother.

Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission by Reygle in c/[email protected]

When using Microsoft products and accepting their incomprehensible terms and conditions, you have no say and your opinion doesn't matter.

Group policy doesn't matter, domain administrator, GPO rules, all of it- none of it matters.

You'll get dogshit and you will like it. (Friendly reminder that it was extremely overpriced also) That's the tax you pay for being in their horrible, horrible "ecosystem" from hell. Enjoy! Grease up or take it dry, you're "taking it" either way.

Exemployees of a company, what was your "fuck this shit I'm out moment"? by Reygle in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 43 points 11 months ago

Grew up with 2 passions- cars and computers. Wound up working at dealerships for 12 or so years.

One day I'd been with this dealer for about 4 years, I got passed over for a better position because "You're too good at what you do to move you out of it."

I'd been looking for an excuse to go back to computers, and that was it. Quit on the spot, took my tools home and started tech school.

Anyone getting app crashes on launch recently? (lemmy.world)

submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

3 comments fedilink

Not long after installing/subscribing, was suggested to update. Since then I've had the app crash when opening.

In case anyone else happens to see the same issue- at least for the time being, uninstalling/reinstalling seems to have done the trick.

New Zimaboard, weird ass SMB issue (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Got a new Zimaboard yesterday, running through using it to migrate the Plex workload off of my Synology NAS- but running in to a strange issue.

When mounting the NAS (which I'm still using for the storage of my media) everythiing works great, authenticates with a user I created just for it, finds the shares and displays them correctly, but entering any of the shares, they "appear" to be empty in CasaOS's file browser, which of course they're not.

Things I've tested- connected to my NAS with that same user credential in a VM, shares appear/work correctly. User has read/write permissions inside those folders.

Triple-checked file permissions on the NAS- all good from test VM.

Updated the Zimaboard's Debian OS from SSH, updated CasaOS afterward. Rebooted numerous times.

Anyone here familiar with CasaOS that ships on Zimaboard who might be able to enlighten me?

Any suggestions for extremely quiet fairly high core count pc for a homelab proxmox platform? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

5 comments fedilink

I do a lot of VMWare work but I'd like to tinker with proxmox at home- I just don't want to bring an awful old HPE server/etc home to try it out on-

Anyone have any reccomendations for a quiet, small homelab server with a solid (12-16 thread) core count?
