Yeah, you can’t yell at someone to RTFM when they didn’t opt to use the product, and the “manual” is just a barrage of question on a Microsoft support forum where every answer goes to a Microsoft.learn page that hasn’t been updated since 8.1.
It’s so fucking bad.
I’m currently having an issue on my work machine where my Windows App doesn’t close properly, and will hang the next time I try to connect to a virtual desktop unless I kill it in the task manager.
Imagine the crazy vague answers you get when you search for “Windows App won’t close”.
You can’t just say stuff like that.
Would you have supported her if she said “I think America should have like, C- tier fighting force, and old military hardware”?
The problem is Microsoft is trying to push the corporate environment away from on-prem infrastructure and into the cloud. There is less and less you can do from Active Directory and Group Policy, more and more of it gets moved to InTune everyday.
Microsoft is pushing Azure Arc as well, which is intended to let you manage your on-prem resources using your cloud management interfaces.
but other areas it would be illegal to ignore invasive plants and not remove them.
I’ve never been in a park or area where you, as an individual, were legally liable for not removing invasive species.
That being said, I did get in trouble for having thistle in my yard, but there was a specific city ordinance against thistle, and not against invasives as a whole (otherwise most of the fucking neighborhood would be torn up, which TBH would be great.)
By your reasoning nobody learns anything before they go to university?
Absolutely not what I said. Please re-read my comment.
Because in what other educational environment you would read multiple books’ worth of information about a single subject…
Yeah… You definitely did not understand what I wrote. Read it again and see if you still feel the same way.
Glances nervously at Ford, BMW, VW, Mitsubishi, etc…
Reading can be part of learning, but just reading Wikipedia is not. If you want to learn something, you need to invest the time in it to understand not just the words, but the context of that information, you need to be able to apply what you have read, and make use of it, even if that use is purely academic.
For instance, you can read about the American civil war on Wikipedia, but a history teacher would not say that you learned the history of the American civil war. You would need to read multiple books on the situation before the war, during the war, and after the war, along with exploring the relevant technologies available at the time. You’d also want to look into primary sources like the diaries of some of the major leadership on both sides of the conflict, and review maps of battle sites and troop movements with time and dates, maybe even go visit some of the major battle sites, and at that point, you could say you’ve learned the history of the American civil war.
Same thing for space. You can read the Wikipedia article on space, but you can’t claim that you learned about space from that. You’d need to look at other sources, rely on previous education you’ve had in school, maybe make some observations of space on your own, watch interviews of astronauts and astronomers, and then you can start to say that you’re learning about space.
Learning takes an investment from you. Simply reading the material is not learning, you need to interact with it.
You write like a seminary school dropout with a 3rd grade understanding of biology fishing for a fox news daytime correspondent position.
You could trust the evidence of your own senses
Very funny you mention that, because your own senses aren’t worth diddly-squat in the scientific world. It’s what you would call “anecdotal evidence”… Barely better than a secondhand recounting of a Facebook post. It’s especially funny to put human senses on a pedestal when communicating to someone who wears corrective lenses. Do you even know what your senses are? It’s mostly chemical/electrical impulses made by bits of meat, sent along bundles of meat to a meat-based signal processor, which interperts those signals and makes it available to other parts of your meatiness to react to. I don’t trust my senses, because what I have to sense with is made to see food, hear predators, and smell mates. My senses are wholly insufficient to see individual cells, let alone the proteins that make them up, and the nucleic acids that code for those proteins. My fingers lack the precision to detect the shape and size of a virus. You can’t rely on your eyes for that you need a microscope. You can’t measure tiny distance by touch, you need a micrometer. I don’t trust my senses, but I have confidence in the steel, glass and repeatable precision of a machine.
…wait till you’re actually sick before reaching for the medicine.
Seems like you are the kind of person who waits for a car crash before reaching for their seatbelt. Frankly, the world’s is better off it this is true.
It really is funny, because there is no shortage of optical and auditory illusions. Hundreds of thousands of people claim to have seen ghosts, or flying saucers, or bigfoot, but none of those things has been confirmed to exist. Your senses do lie to you, and they lie a lot. Pilots are trained to rely on their instruments when flying, because your inner ear evolved to keep you upright when walking and running, and not to tell you which way is up in a tumbling aircraft. Your eyes evolved to spot food and predators, but even our advanced human eyes fail to discern the ocean from the sky, and no small number of experienced pilots have crashed because they didn’t trust the artificial horizon in their airplane.
I hated chemistry in school, because it was teaching us irrelevant shit like the electron structure of atoms.
It’s only unimportant because you don’t care. Reading random facts on Wikipedia isn’t learning, it’s just reading. You can read the Wikipedia page on juggling, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggling) but I wouldn’t expect you to understand (much less, perform) a 3 ball cascade, reverse cascade and waterfall after just reading the page. Those are very basic juggling patterns and fundamentals to more advanced patterns, such as juggler’s tennis, mills mess, boston mess etc… and that’s the difference between learning, and reading.
Not ripping on going on a Wikipedia dive here, it’s one of my favorite things to do, but recognize that it’s not the same as learning
I think that you are a true believer…
You’d be the first to describe me as a “true believer”. I’m about as skeptical as it gets, but being skeptical does not mean “disagree with everything on principle” it means “everything needs to have a standard of evidence” and right now, claiming that mRNA vaccines are dangerous and ineffective does not have a peer reviewed consensus amongst medical experts. In lieu of having my own lab, and the time and funding to run my own study and get it peer reviewed (something I have neither the funds, time, nor expertise to do) I must rely on experts in the subject who are respected in their relevant fields.
Little late to the party, but I’ll jump in.
4 reasons to fear the present vaccine.
Without context, I’m going to guess you mean the Covid vaccine.
It’s different from prior vaccines.
If you’re taking about the mRNA vaccines, then you are partially right, but there is a non-mRNA option you can get in the US.
So much so that they changed the definition for vaccine so the new one would fit it.
Source? I’m also curious to get your definition of what a vaccine is.
It’s being pushed by untrustworthy entities.
It’s also being “pushed” by multiple world-class regulatory organizations with millions of hours of experience in testing the efficacy and safety of all kinds of medicine.
It’s got serious side-effects.
Any and every kind of medical procedure can have serious side effects. Clearly you’ve never read the waiver and info page for any vaccine you’ve received. There is a mile of potential issues, along with a guide on what to do if you experience certain symptoms, and resources for you to reachout to if you believe you are having an adverse reaction to your shot. Vaccines are considered based on the chance that you will have an adverse reaction, and the severity of that reaction, and ultimately the mRNA vaccines do not rise above the risk threshold for other “conventional” vaccines.
It is being pushed by the biggest propaganda campaign I ever saw. It really is impressive, and scary, to see the media and the public so in-synch.
This is a wakeup call to let you know that you’re an oppositional defiant luddite who has been scared by reknowned liars and conspiracy theorists. Also, you should listen to your wife more, she’s right most of the time.
Windows 11 is vibe-coded garbage. Vista was a better OS at launch than 11 is 4 years in.
Did you miss the part about unencrypted admin creds being widely available on the internet?
This is why the correct method is splitting, where you cut the head in half down the middle and partway into the main body. Cutting the head off still leaves a significant chuck of the “brain” alive and unwell.
Anyone with a few bucks and a grocery store nearby that carries them? I am happy to say that this is pretty rare. As a kid in the 90’s it felt like every grocery store had live lobsters for sale.
Reading flock their own response about their security and recording it via one of their active and installed cameras was fucking great. I mean, it was nightmare shit, but at a certain point, you have to appreciate the irony.
Rain is a thing.
They’ll shoot you if you try to camly drive away from a man trying to get into your car.
