I mean... if the threats and berating were due to Synapse I could see it, but this dude sound like a poo.

You can make config profiles pre-approving extensions/privacy prefs for apps and so on that get rid of the prompts just fYI. Don’t go too profile-crazy all at once, but you can solve a loooooot of headaches with config profiles. It makes me wish there was a direct equivalent of those profiles for Windows. I know there’…

Yeah as long as it works with your use-case, linux is fantastic SO stable, so resource light, I’m a big fan. I love it for infrastructure. Due to the nature of our environment, less than 1% of users could get away with using Linux, and those users are more... “vintage”, and would require a ton of time-consuming…

Nah it’s still pretty much poo - and the SSH app is only going to be as good as the *third party* developer tha puts it out. It’s not that the iPad is incapable of a native ssh client, they just don’t want you to have that level of access.

Macs are pretty easy to manage, IF you get “the” tools. It’s pretty much Jamf or GTFO. A lot of linux guys will manage macs with typical *nix management tools like ansible/chef, and while technically possible and highly functional... it’s just not the same as using Jamf. A well configured Jamf installation is…

I issued myself an iPad Pro to see if I could do my daily work with it instead of carrying a laptop. I’ve previously issued myself a Macbook Air, Macbook Pro 15", and a Razer Blade Stealth (windows and Linux), just trying on stuff to see what works/fits.

Single occupant prius plug-ins, box trucks, and buses are the bane of the HOV lane.

A lot of it depends on the frequencies involved, and the architecture. Around me, a lot of us have a driveway “tunnel” that goes down to the bottom level parking of our houses. The driveway tunnel works like a megaphone, so my neighbors with their straight piped cars piss off everyone on the block, even though the…

The triangletruck really just looks like it was designed that way to:

Freakin fiskers with the “development vehicle” stickers on them are all over the place around me. I still love the looks, have since the first ones, but the people driving them never seem especially jazzed... like dude, you’re driving a sweet karma and you’re at dunkin’, try to smile a bit.

While I don’t really like the design of the triangletruck, my first thoughts were “that looks quick to manufacture” and “easy to repair, too”. I think they used the super tough and durable steel to mitigate some of the concerns voiced by traditional truck owners as to a tesla truck’s durability on jobsites. Sure,…

That’s what project Kalamata is all about, replacing all the CPU’s with in-house silicon. There are a couple reasons this would be beneficial to Apple.

Apple’s switch to AMD with the 5k iMacs led to us switching soooo many labs to Windows it’s not even funny. Too much of the 3d software our students need requires Nvidia hardware and Apple’s solution of “buy an e-gpu along with the iMac” is unreasonable. Seemed really weird to replace iMacs with PC’s, but here we are.…

There’s probably one of tinkerbell pooping somewhere.

Eh people will ruin anything. I remember when it was requested that we allow students to change wallpaper in some computer labs. We pushed back hard in IT, even up at management level, thinking “this will definitely be abused”. They retained the ability to change wallpaper for 16 hours before it was demanded that we…

People need to be soooo careful with these. I have used one for years for a neurological condition, and learned a few things:
