No MFA, and stale passwords up to 4 years old. And they say “anyone can do IT”…
After the recent Google AI stuff, I’d expect an AI children’s book tool to teach children how to make mustard gas with cute cartoon characters. :P
Was anyone else expecting an article talking about the subject? I was reading and then, "Oh they've set up an interesting topic to discuss... wait, other articles to read, where is this article?"
Also, the internet access mechanism (starlink) is incidental to the subject matter, why mention it in the title?
Also, what @paultimate14 said, "youth not respecting tradition"...
I have been ping ponging for almost two decades on the desktop. Currently on Pop!_OS (Ubuntu derivative) with a “safety blanket” dual boot with Windows. I went through a lot of these stages many times. So far, ~3 months on this has been the least frustrating Linux desktop experience. I’m still missing some of the power management controls and cloud file integration is kind of a joke, but an interesting time. For the many things that work well, the performance is so much better than Windows and all the other Linux distros I’ve tried on this same hardware.

I switched to Pop!_OS about 3 months ago and have been loving it! First Linux distribution that just worked for me, and every app works better than any other Linux or Windows 11 on the same hardware.
How many times? Every single time…
Hadn't realized that change was in there. What a mess.
The only thing worse is New Outlook. They took away all of the power features and a good deal of the customization, and so you are left with something that feels like it was designed for a mobile app while you try to manage thousands of emails.
Over the last few months I’ve tried half a dozen Linux distros. PopOS has been the best so far for me. Plays the games, didn’t have to force the audio to work, and regular apps open way faster than even other Linux options, it is astonishing. I have used Linux on servers for ~30 years, and this is the first time I’ve been really comfortable on the desktop side.

We had a large layoff a few months ago, including people with over a decade of time at the company, and a meeting afterwards where an exec said, "Yes you were working hard before, and now with many hundreds of people let go, we are asking you to work even harder." Not all rainbows and butterflies where I am, just that one piece about remote work. :)
Got a weird speech recently that we all need to work hard for the company to succeed, but raises and bonuses were dependent on the "economy and stock market" doing well, if "the economy" was going to continue to do poorly, then there was nothing management can do about skipping another year of raises, and we should just be glad we haven't had another RIF.

Recently I was thinking about how I missed webrings for websites instead of reliance on search engines, many of which aren’t even directing you to the sites anymore just showing AI summaries.
