I think some of my coworkers are just high coherence media transformers.

Gotcha CUPS installed by default + no firewall by default = really not great.

So CUPS has to be installed and port 631 exposed for this to be an issue?

You guys have met 20 people?!

Robertson over Torx? I’ll not call you antisemite, my good sir. I’ll call you monster!

Borrowing to invest is inherently more risky. Let the borrower beware.

Or we can round out the confusion and call it PythonScript

I don’t think I’ll install Belarus Linux.

Agreed, but I had to disable autocorrect to type it on my phone.

Upvote for using decimated correctly and also being spot on with the math. Made me completely forget about what an ass-hat Musk is for a short time.

I use Thunderbird on a Debian desktop and a client on my phone Fairmail https://email.faircode.eu/

Their stated goal is to stop sex tourists. Releasing the names of the ones they find seems an efficient way to do so.

Ah, yes. Easily adoptable by coworkers + low repeatability = no need to change. Stick with spreadsheets.

I agree that spreadsheet use in engineering is one of the most complicated use cases, but I submit for your consideration another very complicated use case: laboratory software ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_information_management_system ) LIMS do what Excel can but with the added benefits of being more controlled, secure, user friendly and faster because they’re built upon the back of a modern database. In my experience with engineer built worksheets, the engineer that built them is typically the only one who knows how to use them. This is job security for that engineer, but isn’t scaleable for others’ use. In the lab software, a scientist builds the methods, and lab technicians use those methods over and over again daily. Each step of each use of the method is recorded with the inputs, the results, who performed it and exactly when. The workflows are built-in and the calculations are comparable to those used in engineering.

If an Excel sheet is that big, it should be replaced with a proper database, which most likely would run on Linux. I think you’re right, though, about the lack of planning around the practicalities.

Ooooh. So close. Care for a third try?

I promote Brother because HP is so so bad. Product, business model, service. So bad. I want to save others from the nightmare of dealing with HP. I willingly exchanged my money for a good and service: a Brother printer. The $4 bil company didn’t raid my village and burn my house down. They offered me a printer at a reasonable price and I’m tired of pretending otherwise. So: Team Brother!
