Rustdesk is great. I’ve also used AnyDesk.

Recently I’ve used Parsec on a couple systems and it’s zippy, but I can’t get keyboard shortcuts to work for some reason.

What would be even more wild is if you edited/replied to yourself and said, “nvm figured it out”…only to later discover it and not remember what you did

I wonder if it’s possible that they’re paid money by Google to not support Firefox?

I agree with the first part of your comment, but laundromats are absolutely a high profit business.

source: family friend owns a bunch of them, every single one was net profitable inside of a few months and they are now basically pure profit month over month. They make more money than I ever have from a single software development job, even at my peak, and they largely just farm maintenance out and pay some labor.

This makes no sense. In my entire software development career, no government agency ever built an app in-house. It’s always contracted, to random individuals or companies. So this badge is garbage.

$350k TC seems low for a job of that magnitude at Google.

Oh shit, I forgot about that movie…guess I’ll have to rewatch it.

Can confirm, I run enterprise at home and have yet to see some of these shenanigans I’ve seen posted.

But there’s still enough I hate about Windows 11 that I’m slowly transitioning to Linux and then just running windows in a VM for things there aren’t good alternatives for.

Unsubstantiated guess, but based on a cursory search for flights on Delta, it seems like 90% are Boeing.

I mean it’s my personal machine but I am a software engineer consultant/contractor so I use it for work, too.

Hmm, getting server stuff off sounds fun! I have a couple laptops sitting around so it might be fun to even just use those to offload some processes.

I’d love to get my own little server rack or something, not the best timing financially, but that’d be awesome.

I’ll have to look into the RPi thing. Thanks for the ideas!

You do you.

Hahaha, it stressed me out so I hide all the icons and changed the background to just black.

Interesting to know for sure! I guess I can’t speak to what they’re doing for optimizations first hand, but at the same time…my 128GB cost me like $300 on sale so, I dunno, a wash? Haha.

I’ve tried to become a Mac convert a few times, mostly peer pressure, but I just haven’t been able to do it successfully yet.

I just said I’m not doing graphic design or movie editing. I typically have 10 different browser profiles open to separate data / bookmarks, maybe 8 email accounts in tabs and Outlook (if not on Linux), 4-8 VS code windows, a mix of jetbrains rider or visual studio instances, a smattering mix of postman/SQL server/azure data studio/thunder client, among other things like PDFs and documents. And then multiple docker containers and other local running servers.

The swap usually comes in when I’m parsing a data file or something.

I’ll admit I don’t use Macs, so maybe they are more efficient than the Linux and windows machines I work off…

…but I typically use machines with 64GB and recently upgraded my personal machine to 128GB. I still swap about 50GB to my SSD from time to time.

And I’m not doing heavy graphic design or movie editing stuff.

I cannot fathom for the life of me how 8GB would ever be feasible.

I miss that show. It was so perfectly cheesy and fun and silly, with a great array of characters. The finale was great.

I hate him so much.

I tried Starlink, had high hopes, but unfortunately due to living sort of in a valley and being surrounded by numerous 100+ foot trees, service would cut out every 10-15 minutes. Wasn’t viable for video conferencing or large downloads.

Cellular was OK, but the speeds could vary wildly and really only peaked at maybe 100/30.

Ultimately, I ended up paying a local provider to bury a line directly to my house for me (well into the 5 figure cost). Worth it.
