And he actually likes Tesla

And he wonders why NASA turned him down for bringing those astronauts back…

I’m sure he already calls his lawyers every day at 3 AM while half blitzed on K to pitch exactly that

On top of that, even the server setup they talked about wouldn’t actually cost that much energy to run, because that’s not all that will be running on it. That physical host will likely have dozens or even hundreds of servers running on it, and the small menu serving webserver will account for hardly any of the power draw from the hosts.

Oh, and I almost forgot: the company is going to have a website anyway, what company today serving the public doesn’t? Adding a page or two isn’t going to raise the power consumption in any measurable way if at all.

Was going to say, it’s West if you go far enough

He’s clearly not paying enough then

ESPECIALLY red ones.

They go faster.

How about the submarine he was going to build to save kids in a cave that obviously would have drowned long before he could have even really started work? But it’s okay, he could just accuse the guy who actually saved their lives of being a pedo

That’s not just limited, that’s an incredibly tiny bit of user rights assignments, which is an incredibly tiny part of group policy and does nothing to configure the system… It’s useful, but not really what I’m talking about

As cool as that is, I’m only seeing authentication and rights management, which have little to do with what GPOs do

As kludgey as they are, though, I do wish there was a good replacement for GPOs in Linux

I have no clue what the issues are with Cinnamon getting messed up, but mine works just fine still. Even went back to using it for a bit when changing my monitor setup broke KDE for a bit (some poller service wasn’t getting the responses it was expecting and it kept messing up the resolutions and disconnecting one of them until I figured it out and turned it off)

Sounds like they were right

Any recommendations on how to get started with that? I’ve been using it but without digging through a frankly intimidating list of configuration options, I’m not feeling like it’s really adding much value yet

I think I’ll just shop elsewhere, thanks

Honestly? Yeah.

They’re perfectly functional still and capable of pretty much anything for a modern workload, spec depending… If they can run win 11 fine (and they should be able to if they can run 10), then the cutoff is arbitrary and will cause more systems to find their way to landfills sooner than they otherwise would have.

I dunno, I think they make more from server and that tech stack is still likely to be proprietary as hell. And Linux doesn’t really have anything that could adequately take the place of Active Directory and group policy (I mean, you could, but it would be a ton of work getting it up and running at a similar level). They could also still sell their OS with the promise of everything working the same as people are used to out of the box.

But I don’t think they’ll go that direction, at least not for a while

Which makes the whole thing so transparent considering Trump literally couldn’t have done anything as he’s still not president yet… The whole thing was a stunt.

PowerShell is the only thing that comes to mind but I’m not sure how that’s useful for a handheld
