But linux fan-bois are more interested in the struggle (installing wine on windows) than the actual result (running an app in wine).
The better option is to install linux in a vm, and install wine in that vm (as opposed to dickin' around with win10).

Oh, for f***k's sake.
Why can't people focus on getting the work done, rather than on their preferred (and usually incredibly inefficient) ways of doing it?
If the work can be done more efficiently on linux, then do it on linux!
Wasting everyone's time on "Oh, I can do it here, I can do it there! Aren't I clever!" cr@p doesn't get people's salaries paid.

The issue with this workload is that evidence suggests working significantly more than 40 hours a week for a prolonged period actually makes you less productive, and there are plenty of developers on record about the mental and physical cost of sustained crunch periods. My six-hour work week is killing me!
|
|
|
|
|
So you only do 47 hours' work in the 60 hours, rather than 33 hours' work in 40.
No employer is gonna buy this. We need to find a better excuse.

Some weeks, when I'm on a tear, I honestly want to put in more time and I generally do.
Other weeks, when writer's block hits, I need to scale it back a bit and focus on SA stuff. I'm lucky that my management seems to understand this.

All the way back in October 2018 we heard that the next major version of Windows 10 would be code-named Vibranium, with the more minor Windows 10 19H2 update being code-named Vanadium. Great - an imaginary material that absorbs all action it contacts
"Last version of Windows EVAH!"

That's the wrong vibranium.
The original vibranium dissolved metal, leaving only a sludge of dead computers.

That works too.
I thought they retconned that to "anti-metal"?

There is no ret-con.
Only morons buy into ret-cons.
And only complete idiots buy into reboots.
I never even reboot my computers.

DOJ charges Pakistani man with bribing AT&T employees more than $1 million to install malware on the company's network, unlock more than 2 million devices. I'd make a joke using one of the slogans, but I can't remember ever seeing or hearing a commercial for them
"Bringing good things to life"? No, that's GE, isn't it?
"Just give us your money. We don't care." No, that's Comcast.
Dang. "Come here Watson, I need you?" :shrug:

Unlikely they survived the crash, but never bet against those boogers.

Are they f***ing mad?
Let's take some cats and rabbits to Australia, because they'll make it a better place!
Let's bring some of those pretty algae to Europe, because they're so decorative!
Only a f***ing lunatic would introduce species to the moon that might thrive there!

It is possible to thoroughly hijack a nearby vulnerable Qualcomm-based Android phone, tablet, or similar gadget, via Wi-Fi, we learned on Monday. This likely affects millions of Android devices. This is what happens when you phone in your security?
"The good news is that all the bugs have been patched by Qualcomm. Now for the bad news. When exactly these fixes will filter down to actual Android users is not clear."

OK, Chaps!
You now have an excuse for the missus to buy a new phone!

Yeah, right.
Over the past few months, issue after issue has been noticed where ms is reaping data of a more personal nature than things like google's "location data used to serve ads" cr@p.
And, strangely enough, the data they've been reaping is precisely the kind of data that isn't wanted by ad agencies; it's precisely the kind of data that's wanted by the US and UK governments.
So the US government's "approval" of ms may well be somewhat more sinister than people like computerworld have noticed.
Tip: If you don't actually need to go to microsoft.com: firewall it, at least or a few months (until the story breaks).
