Modern start menu search was designed to drive users toward Bing and give MS-favored results to users. It’s hot garbage and has been for a while. So yeah, if you rely on as an IT pro it you probably aren’t very technical.

You can launch any common inbox or Office app and most MMC panels from the Win-R menu. And most of them haven’t changed since Windows 2000 / Office 95. Not being able to adapt and improve upon how you perform your job is sad.

It’s been broken and slow as hell since Vista. So yes, when IT “professionals” haven’t figured out other ways to run common programs by now, it hints at how remedial their skills are.

Have you had Culver’s root beer? It’s so good. It might be even better than A&W.

Win+R, wt, Enter

Win-X, I

The start menu has sucked for a long time, but you don’t have to use it. I cringe when I see other IT folks using its search feature to launch common apps.

At least they are improving the app list with a nice category view and removing the All Apps button (still in preview). That’ll at least upgrade it from hot garbage to okayish.

I’d tell you a UDP joke, but you might not get it.

Can’t say I’ve had this exact roast, but everything I’ve had from them has been good.

It’s unlikely since it uses the field ID and not the text, so it wouldn’t know which question went with which answer.

It’s so rarely needed to actually use these anyway, that it’s a non-issue IMO. You should never opt to use security questions as they are terrible from a security standpoint. This is just for when they are required by stupid websites.

Most DNS queries are UDP.

I’d do a modified scream test and change old.domain to something like 1.2.3.4. Then run sudo netstat or ss with -tpn, grepping for 1.2.3.4.

Or something like grep -r old.domain /etc.

Yeah, that too.

While I’m not 100% certain it’s not just confusing perspective, it does appear that the slope rise is shorter than the run, suggesting that this is from the top of the stairs.

Hardee’s curly fries are the best. By extension I guess that means Carl’s Jr. too, but I wouldn’t know.

You definitely should still check this, but even with proper indexing settings Windows is still garbage at search and has been since XP.

And this is coming from one of the only people who ever defends MS on Lemmy.

Yep, that would work fine for the first line of defense. Eventually, you can expand it to copy, replicate, or drive swap the onprem backups offsite somewhere (e.g., cloud, office, or family member) if you want to protect your data from site loss (e.g., house fire).

The only thing missing is a good backup.

If you are storing anything important – especially Immich and Vaultwarden data – you should have a good offsite protection strategy. And even the HASS config should be backed up with versioning because rebuilding from scratch could be painful once you get deep into it.

I’ll let others chime in on possible good backup options because I use Veeam and Azure, which really isn’t in the spirit of this community, and I’d be interested in good open source options myself.

Also, RAID (mirroring) is NOT a backup.

I read a lot of reviews before buying mine saying things like, “so heavy you could kill an intruder,” but still wasn’t prepared for just how heavy it was.

Definitely worth it.

Also the pupper is adorable. 😍

Keychron was a nice choice.

That just the summary aggregated from multiple sources. Below it you should be able to drill into the actual published articles.

Totally not disagreeing, but for some more context she married into the Walton family, inherited a 1.9% stake in the company when her husband died in 2005, and has never had a role in the organization.

This is the one use of Conversation View in Outlook for me.
