My uni used Ubuntu in the CompE computer labs; unfortunately all other labs were windows. But the introduction to Linux was certainly nice!

Oh, of course. There are negatives to everything for sure. But I think as a whole it’s made life better in a lot of different ways.

That group of 34 people moving to Russia have been referred to by some as the Russia 34, or R34 for short.
This was the very last post on my Lemmy front page, which says something, I think
My grandfather lives in the south, and for a number of years after Tesla became a big name, he genuinely thought it was “Tesler” because that’s just how everyone he knew was pronouncing it
That’s incredible
Not sure they did… I’ve never even heard of it before until just now
I mean, someone was still bowing to it… just not multiple people
As someone that works at a storage devices company - we do still manufacture 10K HDDs. They are faster than the 7200s of the same spec, by nature. All 2.5” drives for enterprise systems. And will actually continue selling them until ~2030. That said, they’re all but obsolete at this point, and aren’t really being developed on any more.
Sue-dough & s-s-h here. Can’t speak to zsh yet, haven’t actually talked about it w/ others yet. How about /etc/? Sometimes I call it “e-t-c” but others I say “etsee”
Most of the time, the product itself comes out of engineering just fine and then it gets torn up and/or ruined by the business side of the company. That said, sometimes people do make mistakes - in my mind, it’s more of how they’re handled by the company (oftentimes poorly). One of the products my team worked on a few years ago was one that required us to spin up our own ASIC. We spun one up (in the neighborhood of ~20-30 million dollars USD), and a few months later, found a critical flaw in it. So we spun up a second ASIC, again spending $20-30M, and when we were nearly going to release the product, we discovered a bad flaw in the new ASIC. The products worked for the most part, but of course not always, as the bug would sometimes get hit. My company did the right thing and never released the product, though.
I think it’s the caller ID. Should be easy, just have to get my mom to set it first.
Interesting, I guess I’ll have to try again. It kept telling me that there was an error processing when I tried locking it.
Might? Will.
