All the gear, no idea?

None in Brittany either! This is a bad sign

Had project manager at previous job the same. Worked about 3" from his screen. He was the proof that a good project manager is worth their weight in gold though. Guy was absolutely brilliant.

Either Slackware or Red Hat Linux 5, can’t remember. I do remember that when I first installed RH5 I used “Hick” for my language.

A couple of weeks ago I moved Firefox to one side. Window disappeared, but Firefox was still running “somewhere” on my desktop, but was not actually be rendered to the screen. Killing the process and relaunching just resulted in it be rendered to this weird black hole. Log out of gnome and log back in? Same! Reboot? Same!

Ended up deleting it’s config folder and re-attaching to Firefox sync in order to have it working again. No idea what went wrong, nor will I ever most likely.

That didn’t end well last time though

No need for poisoning. Where he was -30°C is normal at this time of year. Not giving him a coat would have been enough to kill him

No, going overnight from running at a massive loss to “time to make loads of cash” is what ruins everything.

I’ve had beetles on the forehead while road cycling. Even at 40km/h that seriously hurts. Wouldn’t want it to happen at 100!

Shame, one of my favourite workplace proximity associates is called Kyle.

Do they still do the free tier that gives 10 pages a month?

50% of 0 == 0 :)

Easy workaround: live in the countryside with no neighbours.

Yeah, for a living room TV the only option is either “digital signage” or no network.

I’ll just stick to not connecting my TV to the network.

Will he cancel it though? Or will “Trump Trains” become a thing?

The US invented neither trains nor cars.

It is true the US was basically built on railroads, so I agree that it should have an awesome network, but it is just too big. Even if France ships you all a bunch of TGVs it will take days to go from NYC to LA. Something that takes hours by plane.

It’s one of “the rules” that bikes on top of your car should cost more than the car itself.

Because they can afford it and want to have top end carbon, dura-ace, etc.

Do you need it ? No! Does it feel good to ride? Hell yeah!

They are, but that is a halo product

Why? I love being able to buy a 2 year old BMW for the same price as an equivalent Renault

I have one of those and it works perfectly from Linux using standard software. You can also go over the subscription, you just pay (still comparable to buying ink cartridges though, perhaps even a little cheaper if you’re printing photos). It also worked for 2 weeks with no internet connection, although it did complain about that lack of an internet connection after a week.

It has also proved to me that HP are conning everyone with non InstantInk cartridges. After 3 years we are still on the same cartridges, which I am sure it would have claimed were empty if it were not InstantInk.

Disclaimer: I got the printer for (effectively) free and use the free tier subscription which allows me 10(?) pages a month with no rollover. It has cost me about €2.50 in 3 years. I would never have paid for a modern HP printer.

Edit: I am not defending HP’s abhorrent business practices. However, in this case I found a loophole and was able to exploit it. It was also free because I had a awesome employer who gave out Fnac vouchers every year. I am also only able to exploit that loophole because I also have that little Brother laser that just works.
