Comment Re:So they are making it worse? (Score 1) 80

I so want to give you an upvote. If only I had mod points today. This behavior is one of the most f*cking infuriating things in my daily misery of using MS Software for work. What's even more annoying is that apparently it was b/c it was Billion Gates' preferred method for forwarding, carried over from some god forsaken email client he had used in the past. And we're still stuck with it 30+ years later.

Comment Obvious Problem is Obvious (Score 3, Insightful) 191

This is pretty much always what happens when you let a non-engineer lead an engineering company. It's always a very high likelihood of tanking: IBM, HP, Boeing, GM, Intel is getting there... we'll see if the ship can be righted. And these are just the obvious ones. I'm certain with time I could find many more (likely a lot of 80s mainframe companies).

Throw out all business admin BAs or accounting BAs from the helm of any and all engineering firms - they simply don't know shit, except maybe how to shotgun a beer.

Comment Re:Not your domain, not your email address (Score 1) 69

If you wish to spend the money, a very basic 1-2 disk Synology can do most of that for you. But it does require some knowledge of how to set up mail. And if you want to make sure all of your friends who annoyingly use Gmail can actually get your email, you're going to have to enable at least SPF, and probably DKIM.

But I also type this as a person who always uses business class internet with a static IP and has hosted his own email for almost 25 years. No data caps and a static IP are kinda nice like that.

Comment It's Pretty Much PEs That Are the Problem (Score 1) 258

This has happened in Oregon, as previously stated. I think the upshot is that PEs are twats. I've met several and I've never come across more overinflated, self-important arseholes than PEs. Well, neurosurgeons are up there, too.

Tell them to shut up and sit down.

Comment If it weren't Google... (Score 1) 262

I would also pay the monthly fee. After all, I'm using a service, I should pay for it. But I know that even in paying, Google is /still/ going to make me the product. So uBlock Origin it is.

I'm lucky enough to like several (well, 10-12) creators that also stream on Nebula, so I pay for that service. I wish everybody I liked was over there but I can't have everything.
