If it weren't for the spiders, maybe I'd consider moving there 🫣

Is superannuation like a pension?

I'm loving my Galaxy Tab 9 Ultra. It's sturdy, can go in the shower (I don't normally but I wanted to test it), has great multi-window features, has Dex which is also sometimes useful, is snappy, and I can basically sideload whatever I want.

Wait, how? I have zero games installed on my 1TB laptop and still only have like 300GB free.

Ugh. That's bullshit. I still hope Elon / Twitter lose. Fuck that guy.

For me it's...

  • Visual Studio Enterprise (VS Code with a hundred plugins still doesn't come close)
  • SQL Server Management Studio (though with extensions, Azure Data Studio has gotten me pretty damn close)
  • Full-featured Office 365 software (Edge web versions are somewhat sufficient, but not quite there)
  • Teams with multi-tenant. The desktop Windows app lets me quickly switch between the 6 orgs I need to, unfortunately on Linux I have to have 6 different browser profiles and use the web version which just doesn't fly.
  • More responsive RDP. Unfortunately for server management I'm juggling 3-4 RDP instances daily and I'm not typically allowed to install AnyDesk or VNC or anything. I've tried a couple RDP alternatives and there were just all sorts of problems from keyboard issues to rendering issues to general sluggishness.
  • There is one weird VPN program a job forces me to run and unfortunately it isn't available on Linux.

But! All the above said, I run Linux and have a Windows VM. And I also run Windows and have a Linux VM - so it's almost there for me. If work & clients all ditched Microsoft's ecosystem, it'd be a lot easier for me to but, unfortunately, they pay my bills.

Absolutely the case for me, I had like 5-6 alts, now I use maybe two.

You're the real MVP. Thank you.

No, no, I get all that. I'm just trying to understand what is meant by 401k being insured against losses...I didn't think that was a thing. I thought any investment whether my personal stocks, 401k, or Roth IRA were all subject to "could disappear overnight kthxbye".

You win my favorite internet comment of the day.

My personal cuticles need more seasoning.
