Australis13

You’ve finally shown interest in it, so now they’re interested in it too.

Ouch. Glad I don’t run Windows 11…

Plenty of dogs I know would happily chase and harass a cat, so I’m inclined to think that it’s more likely that the dog deserved it than not…

I avoided overtime like the plague since my employer didn’t like to deal with it (so if circumstances required me to work overtime my supervisor was pretty good about allowing me to take it as time in lieu the following week), but unfortunately there were definitely times where I had to log in on the weekend (the challenge of having customers that require support 7 days a week).

Apparently I’m off the end of the chart. My last workplace set up had:

• primary 15" laptop with two external monitors (so 3 screens in use simultaneously)
• secondary 15" laptop with external monitor (so another 2 screens) when the primary one was tied up doing heavy processing (I was lucky and managed to hold onto my previous laptop when we did the usual rounds of device upgrades whereas most people just returned them to IT to be retired, so I had a spare that I could readily take home for WFH days without messing with my main office setup)
• a standalone PC monitor (for automation stuff, so the screen was there just for monitoring as needed)

In the undertaking, Google commits to removing certain pre-installation and default search engine restrictions from its contracts with Android phone manufacturers and telcos.

This ought to be interesting. At least it will hopefully mean one less bit of bloatware on Android phones.

I’m not sure if this is petition is actually helpful. It is 4 years old and hasn’t been updated to note the renewed focus on this legislation: https://www.techradar.com/computing/cyber-security/the-eu-could-be-scanning-your-chats-by-october-2025-heres-everything-we-know

Some of us do, but you can see their eyes glaze over the moment you mention Linux…

Not these days, at least.

I did go around telling people how much better 7 was over Vista at the time, though.

I fully expect tomorrow’s update to include a sixth and possibly seventh cat.

That has to be Chaotic Evil.
