CU Updates most likely install okay, but feature updates (Aka W11 "22H2" that's due out next year) most likely will not, as it probably some the same checks the W10 >> W11 update process uses.

The problem is is that the company has the liability of providing a safe working environment to EVERYONE. While vaccinated can pretty much be care free, with so many unvaccinated people roaming in an office, whether the workers like it or not, they have to protect them and the business. My work is only 40% vaccinated. With Delta/Indian variant gaining a foothold, COVID will be back with a vengeance this fall. Vaccinated workers will get sick for a day or two at worst and be back to work. Unvaccinated workers will end up all getting it due to higher transmission rate, and be out for 2-4 weeks with severe symptoms and even some workers could die. This would and could shut the business down for weeks, or for good if it causes a big enough impact. Let alone the human cost. It's therefore in the businesses best interest to provide as many incentives to get everyone vaccinated so they can stay open, and in everyone's best interest so that you have a job to come back to as well.

Also, in my state, 70%+ percent are vaccinated. "If everyone gets it they aren't a guinea pig" statement is false. At this point, if you aren't, you're the outlier.

My partner and I both had Flu shots back in October (NorthEast US). Late February early March they got SEVERELY ill and feared COVID. Three tests confirmed negative for COVID, and two tests weeks apart they tested positive for Influenza-B. (It took a few weeks to fully recover). I never had severe symptoms, but for a few days felt a little tired like I was fighting something off but never sick really, so the vaccine worked for me or it didn't impact me as bad.

We had been quarantining as well, no indoor dining outside the house or gatherings, and had only just returned to work the week before they were sick, so it had to have come from it circulating in our shared office somehow.

This will be wildly inaccurate.

For example, my home speeds on fiber, luckily, are 1gig up, 1 gig down. Testing on wireless though, you will be hard pressed to find a phone or device that can surpass 400-500mbit on wireless. I have a latest UniFi U6-LR WiFi6 AP, and have tested it with a Note10 Plus that's also WiFi6 and connected at 1.5gbit+ speeds still only suck down 500mbit, same as my Pixel 4 XL connecting at 866mbit. Even laptops running on wireless 5ghz channels at full 1.6gbit+ speeds using AX/WiFi6 will cap out around 600mbit.

Plus in a wire, full gigabit.

Give me a website or CLI to use like SpeedTest, then we can get accurate results.

This was the last remnant of my favorite store and I think pretty much first online purchases or close to it, Cyberian Output. They were headquartered about 30 minutes from me, although the shipping and warehouse locations were further away. I ordered a old games, controllers, and drives from them and they would show up next day every time, it was the first Sunday delivery I had too.

Quadro cards have done the same thing for years and years already....

Those that run Plex or other media stream services know the non Quadro cards, you're limited to only two transcode sessions are once on GeForce cards, but unlimited on Quadro.. not because of performance, but driver lockouts. They want you to buy higher end cards for that...

Cox is the same, except Comcast exempts their Gigabit plans (1gbitdown, 35mbit upload) plans from it. Cox does not. Here I am with 940mbit down, 35mbit upload... limited to 1.2TB a month. With 3 30-Somethings in a house that play games and stream, on top of all working from home due to COVID19, it's not viable.

GoNetspeed, a local ISP to CT and PA, literally just ran fiber lines on our street this week and last week. I should have a install date of late December for 1gbit upload, 1gigabit download direct to home fiber with no speed caps, no data caps, and paying $10/mo with static IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Can't get much better than that.

The US needs more broadband alternatives like companies like GoNetspeed and municipal ISPs.

You're right. DKIM and SPF are useless in blocking SPAM. They aren't designed to block SPAM. Period. They're designed for domain security and control so email addresses and domains cannot be spoofed. They do their job really well when used properly, shy of accounts being compromised. (And I'm talking G-Suite or O365 organization emails being hijacked, not consumer GMail or Outlook.com emails which anyone can go and make and send SPAM from). A DKIM signed email, or a email that passes SPF means nothing in terms of SPAM and wasn't designed to be a indicator for SPAM. Only Spoofing.

As a sysadmin that administers out email servers, you don't know how many times users email us about emails from contacts getting blocked due to misconfigured protections. SPF is the major offender, but we also get DKIM failures all the time. It's some admin half assing implimenting it for their domain. Usually, it's because they add SalesForce or something and it tells them how to add DKIM or SPF record, and they inadvertently do not turn it on for their primary email servers, adding DKIM to the servers or for SPF not adding in their server's IP's or IP ranges to SPF's "allow" list.

Before anyone ever even thinks of the idea of adding rotating DKIM keys or such, please teach people how to do it correctly or the problem's only going to get worse.

This is a flat out lie. This are doing this to about 90% of the groups out there. I am in 3 small local town community groups (Where people gripe about zoning changes, kids walking on their lawns, etc etc) and I admin one of them. EVERY SINGLE one of those groups was hit by this probationary thing. There's 3 admins for a 5,000 member groups that cannot keep up with post approvals. The one I admin, we have given up and moved to MeWe for our local group and having people post in there since we cannot effectively moderate everyone's Lost Dog/Cat post and "ISO/Selling" posts in reasonable time limits. Facebook is really russing to get Section 230 removed. Given the Senate will be GOP majority, House gained a lot of GOP seats, and the Court now have a Conservative lean, they're set to have that removed. It's still 3+ months before Ajit Pai may possibly vacate, but only if by choice. He can fight it and stay in longer until he is forcefully replaced if wanted.

This combined with their major censorship for people that "dont know better" hopefully starts their downfall.

I have been using TinyTinyRSS since Google Reader went dead. 100% open source, and I run it on a cheap shared hosting account I use for a bunch of things. A cheap LAMP stack and its good to go. No longer at the mercy of apps or extensions getting hijacked or going EOL. Even if TinyTinyRSS dies someone can pick the project up.

I have it setup to run git update on the site via cron so I always have the latest version. I keep their nice mobile app on my phone for easy mobile reading in the morning and use the site at work or on my pixelbook.

Anyone reminded of Arnold's "6th Day" movie? RePet?

My workaround I use when setting up systems is simply just don't connect it to WiFi when setting it up. Leave ethernet disconnected if it's got a port. Then in the setup it's forced to use an offline account. Then once you get your local account set up, plug in/enter your wireless key and go to town. You shouldn't HAVE to do this but it's an easy work around.

Nope. Nope. Nope. You give it your credentials, and it seems their servers connect to the servers vs your device itself. No thank you, not leaving credentials on a 3rd party server. MS Outlook app for iOS and Android did the same thing.

I'd settle for them getting to my house.

They kept consistently putting them in my mailbox and raise the red "return" flag to avoid going up my 300ft driveway. This is illegal. Also problematic when the POST OFFICE picks up your item before you're able to revive it, as they should because red flags up and it's in the box. Then Post Office DEMANDS shipping fee to turn your item to you. Happened to me. Consistantly complained to Amazon Customer Support that they are NOT to go to mailbox and should be delivered TO THE HOUSE up the Driveway just like UPS, FedEx and other services do. I literally have security footage of the driver not even stopping and tossing two packages out the window on Sunday morning, half in the road at the bottom of my driveway. It rained. Packages got soaked. LUCKILY they were plastic wrapped inside the packages so they were safe. Complained to Amazon again, I doubt anything will be done.

There are a few nice drivers, that rent UHaul Vans and wear reflective vests that drive up and hand deliver packages that are professional. But majority of the drivers are lazy looking to get paid and dont care. They get paid in "Blocks" ex you can a set price to delivered a set packages that should take you X amount of time by their estimate. If you deliver it faster, by chucking shit out the window, you can then pick up more routes and make more money per hour effectively. Thats what these people are doing,
