today was one of the weirdest encounters i’ve had at work

i’m a supervisor at a company, and one of the employees i’ve been overseeing for about 4 months uses ubuntu on his work laptop. it was always a bit inconvenient since everyone else uses macs (company provided), so we’d have to deal with flash drives or uploads instead of just airdrop, but whatever — he got his work done so i didn’t care

until today

i gave him something urgent to finish. came back after an hour and asked if he was done. he says he’s “having issues with his OS”

we’re on a tight deadline, so i offer him a spare dell latitude to just get it done quickly

this guy straight up refuses and says “i don’t use this trash”

at that point i don’t even care, i just tell him we need to finish the task NOW. he takes the laptop… and instead of doing the work, he starts trying to install ubuntu on it

that’s when i lost it. like actually what are you doing? you’re on the clock, we’re behind, and you’re reinstalling your favorite OS instead of doing your job

My work assumed someone was stealing because a box of sandwiches went missing (most likely it never arrived on the truck but was labelled as having arrived since stealing an entire box isn't possible unless multiple employees were in on it). So my manager decided to install annoying as fuck cameras literally all over the back of the store. Now I can't feel at peace or even take a quick 5 minute sitdown without feeling like I'm being watched and will get written up. I'm trying to find ways to hack the cameras since I know it's pretty easy for most IP cams.

Anyone have any experience hacking 3xlogic Cameras or their Vigil client? I want to constantly be taking them down, even on my days off just to piss off management.

I work alone on overnights. I get everything I need to get done within only 5ish hours of my 8 hour shift. I'm essentially just a warm body to run the register when I have nothing else to do. I can only lock the store to use the restroom for up to 5 minutes and customers do complain if I use the restroom so they'll find out if I do that. I just want to be able to sit in the back and wait for people instead of standing at the register for no reason. They also get upset if I use my phone, even though there is literally nothing to do. I'd rather hack the cameras because fuck these niggers. This aint prison

>it was just meant to be a tiny black box that sat by your PC

No, it was meant to be the PC that the lowest common denominator of Steam users would buy, so that hopefully they purchase more Steam games with it.

A lot of people were complaining the specs of the steam cube were garbage compared to their 5070 builds, that's not the point, you aren't the target market if you have an already decent PC.

This is for people who will play cs2, or dota 2 or whatever on Steam and MAYBE buy 1 or 2 games on summer/winter sales, they're going to already either have a 2nd prebuilt in the future, or build their own cheaply, well why not just get the steam box and play more games?

A lot of people are just upset they can't jump on the bandwagon, whatever, you aren't missing out on anything big, it's just a gaming PC at the end of the day, but with valve's own design.

I only started using it because I vaguely heard that other browsers were banning adblock. That was like 4 years ago and I don't think it's actually true but I'm too lazy to switch back to Edge. I remember Firefox always being the second biggest laughing stock after Internet Explorer back in the day, now I see why.

The 'privacy' features are pretty cool though, I'll give it that. Of course they don't actually do anything but they really sell the illusion that they are. I see why it's used as a base for the fed honeypot browser retards use to buy drugs and watch CP.

Her only claim to fame is organizing DebConf23, an event where a Debian developer literally fucking DIED because basic health & safety measures were not followed.

A much more qualified candidate was hospitalized during the nomination window and couldn't apply in time, yet she has refused to reopen nominations.

Debian is FUCKED unless the Debian developers all vote NOTA (None of the above).

Depends. Some are more self respecting than others.
Despise being meme'd on, arch doesn't actually push unstable software into their main repos, you have to manually enable their staging repos (or whatever they call it). Those guinea pigs get their cake and eat it too.
Fedora is different. You get some unstable code being pushed while also not having the latest and greatest of everything. Worst of both words, plus they're owned by red hat.

Fedora is a point release distro. Only minor version updates get pushed after release, with some exceptions which I can't remember. v43 was released 4 or 5 months ago, a new version should be released soon.

I am learning so much shit about PCSX2.
Even its memory card operations are not accurate. It doesn't really care if you fail to send a read/write end command at the end of reads or writes, whereas a real PS2 will get into a wonky state.
PCSX2 will send default memory card stats back if you request it while no memory card is inserted, but with 0xFF in the first two bytes, but real PS2 will respond with all 0xFF bytes.
PCSX2 will erase 16 pages from the addressed page in the memory card. It seems on hardware some weird shit can occur if you don't align it.
