To be fair his prior rant was about how bad he was at using and understanding Linux.

I'm all for more people switching to linux, but a lot of your windows issues sound less like windows issues and more like your specific installation is messed up somehow issues.

One thing I will mention though is that Windows does have native per-application volume control, you don't need to install EarTrumpet. You can right-click the system tray volume icon and open the mixer, or just search for "volume mixer" in the start menu.

Yes. That's exactly my point. Minimizing it in this case means having a judge without any dotted line connections to Google.

There are a number of EVs and PHEVs capable of "vehicle-to-home" power transfer as long as they have a bi-directional charger. The Lightning is just particularly well suited for it due to its massive battery.

PHEVs as well, since they have a gas tank which enables using the vehicle as a generator, so that in an extended outage you have a means of refilling your source of power.

A temporary one that you're expected to remove as soon as you've created the admin user(s) you need, but yes. It should only be there during initial setup and ideally removed before the server is ever exposed to the internet.

I think it's even more absurd than that. The CEO/board decided to make a long-term investment which wasn't going to pay off for several years. To what should be the surprise of no one, that meant short term losses.

Framing an investment in a massive amount of new infrastructure as a loss because it didn't immediately start operating in the black is beyond unreasonable, but that's the demand when all that matters is quarterly gains and year-over-year growth.

Always 5% higher than it currently is.

Any entity or group that can be trusted to self-regulate wouldn't raise the question about whether they need to be regulated in the first place.

Headless server accessed via SSH. Hosting Jellyfin, FoundryVTT, a Discord bot that I just mess around with, and also use it to run an IRC client inside screen.

Bad news. They usually don't hire based on relevant skills either. The skills required to create an appealing resume and do well in a job interview very rarely have anything to do with the skills required for the actual job.

The machine I have running mint is a fifteen year old Core 2 Duo T6600 laptop. Works great!
