No, but Windows is so entrenched that they don’t need to actually be competitive in order to keep making profit. Instead, the Windows team has to invent things nobody ever wanted or needed that they can advertise to make it look like they’re still useful. Software UX polish-passes don’t make good marketing. You can’t seriously put “you know that one weird thing that only happened to a fraction of users sporadically? we fixed it” on a marketing campaign.

it’d be real cool if the mods of the biggest community on lemmy.world would actually do some moderating

ISP shittiness aside, ISPs do actually pay for Internet backbone access by the byte. Usually there are peering agreements saying “you take 1tb of traffic from us, and we’ll take 1tb of traffic from you”, whether that traffic is destined for one of their customers (someone on Comcast scrolling Instagram), or they’re just providing the link to the next major node (Comcast being the link between AT&T’s segment of the US backbone and Big Mike’s Internet out in podunk Nebraska).

And normally that works pretty well, until power users start moving huge amounts of data and unbalancing the traffic.

How? You could certainly temporarily break the boot process, but I can’t see how you’d completely brick it.

My favorite is when the sssd package maintainers don’t properly update their dependencies, so when some of the packages get updated, they don’t pull in others, and then I’m not able to log in with my external account.

It depends. I’ve used a chargeback where I sent a product back for a warranty repair, and the seller stopped responding. The bank just wanted documentation, and they put it through. I imagine you could argue for a chargeback in this case, if you used a credit card.

Also tell the person administering it to do it slowly. In my experience, most of the pain was from them doing it too fast. Something about the fluid stretching the muscle in painful ways before it can spread out, or something.

If electric bikes were the only thing allowed on back roads, you’d never be able to make enough grocery/dump/Tractor Supply runs to have time for anything else in your life.

I can’t just run an extention cord out an open window.

This is exactly what my neighbor does in his apartment.

But he has a driveway, so it’s not like he’s running it over the sidewalk or anything.

I can’t count the number of times I had to do that under ESXi, or do manual vSAN recoveries, so I found myself quite comfortable doing that in proxmox too (especially since proxmox is regular debian).

Google Drive does not count as cloud backup, especially for something business-critical.

They don’t have to be stolen. Imagine some clever thief drugging your drink, then when you’re incapacitated they take your phone and press your finger to it or hold it up to your face to unlock it, then transfer all your money out of Venmo or whatever money transfer app you have on your phone.

Just now? Not after any of these? Or the fact that it’s controlled by China?

Okay, so can we shunt all the “tech billionaire celebrity entertainment” posts somewhere else?

I started banking with them in 2011, I think, on recommendation from friends. I’ve continued to use them because of my satisfaction with the things you’ve mentioned as well as the services they make available through the site and app. (It’s USAA, for reference).

I am a millenial.

Nobody is stopping you from copy-pasting the third clause into the two-clause plus patent license.

What are you trying to accomplish with the patent thing? Have you already patented your software?

There are a bunch of APIs, actually. Plaid is a pretty popular one. The problem is getting the banks to implement them.

But people definitely choose banks because of their apps. For example, my bank doesn’t have any physical branches in my area, so I do everything through the website or app. Remote check deposit through my phone camera, for example.

Captchas or other challenges, and better spambot detection.

No need under Windows either. Hasn’t been since Windows 98.

Don’t forget to check your permissions and selinux file contexts.
