I think they are claiming the media outlet is nothing but propaganda, sort of like Russia Today. Do I have that correct comrades?

Vehicles are expensive in all Western Countries.

Didn’t GIMP release an entire UI overhaul earlier this year?

Same here.

Sure but as @[email protected] noted MS is ending support for EWS in M365 in less than 12 months! So it took them 18 years to release something that still doesn’t fully work (no Calendaring support, WTF?) and won’t even be usable by this time next year.

🤦

If it only supported outdated Exchange servers that would be one thing

The only Exchange server that ISN’T outdated at this point is the 4 month old Exchange Server Subscription Edition. All other versions are now EoL and have no support. So unless you have a very particular need to keep your EX environment On-Prem then you may as well migrate to EXO.

If you are already using EXO then Thunderbird’s new EWS support will stop working next October.

I have a Win11 PC sitting here with a Core i5 8500t, 16G of RAM, 1T M.2 SATA NVME, attached to a three position KVM. Hooked to that KVM are three monitors (2 x DP, 1 x HDMI), wireless keyboard & mouse, Creative USB T60 speakers, and a USB WebCam (logi 970e). Since it’s a PC I use for work it’s Entra joined and InTune managed running Managed AV, MDR, and a DNS Filtering Agent. Oh, and the drive is encrypted with BitLocker.

So I basically have as much USB attached crap as you do, sans hard drives, and it’s going through the USB Hub that’s built into my KVM.

Time from power off to usable desktop for that machine is under 40 seconds.

Your external hard drives are a likely culprit. I’d guess that they are either on an older interface or your PC is set to do a full AV scan of attached drives at boot.

Don’t get it twisted, Microsoft and their products piss me off on a daily basis. I’m not defending them.

I’m glad they have it but adding EWS support at the end of 2025 is nothing to brag about. EWS came with Exchange 2007, almost 20 years ago!

I literally don’t turn my computer off because even with an SSD windows takes so long to boot up properly.

I admin several hundred Windows PCs so I’m pretty confident in saying that your computer is either a moldy potato, something is wrong with your hardware, or you have a very unusual software load. A modern Windows 10/11 desktop should go from power off to logon screen in < 30 seconds and from logon to desktop in < 30 seconds. Even an 8th Gen Core i5 with 8GB of RAM, a SATA SSD, and a full stack of security software will be ready to use in 60 seconds or less.

Whatever your problem is it ain’t “windows”…and I’m typing this comment from my home PC running Linux.

Yeah, it’s a real shame that they never got around to writing a 9th and 10th Amendment…oh…wait…

they argued that not criminalizing abortion gave women rights that the constitution did not explicitly protect(?)

No they didn’t. They decided that the question of legality should be returned to the States because Roe v Wade was decided based on a 14th Amendment Right of Privacy through Due Process. Your comment is about the practical outcome of their decision in some places.

Frankly I still think RBG had the correct legal argument and that Roe should have been decided on the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

I’m sure they have no problem writing an opinion that allows bans on gay marriage.

Except they had the opportunity to do just that and refused. So obviously they have some kind of problem with it.

What’s more distressing IMO is people making disparaging comments when they clearly don’t understand the U.S. legal system.

Essentially anyone who loses a case in a Federal Appellate court, like Kim Davis did in the 6th US Circuit Court of Appeals, has the right to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court then decides if they want to hear the case or not. It’s a good thing.

I don’t like Kim Davis nor her agenda but that’s no reason to upend over two centuries of procedure.

Crazy that we’re in this situation where the there’s a question over whether a court will overturn its own precedent.

It’s happened with SCOTUS before and at least sometimes it’s a good thing. Dred Scott being an example.

I wonder if I could port Petsci Robots to it.

The GFW is about logging, mining, and controlling Internet traffic and data but your comment is about phone calls. These two things are only loosely related.

The article purports that the GFW is able to track electronic documents so closely that it can tie them to an actual individual. Assuming that’s true it positively refutes the notion that the GFW is “futile”. If the article and data leak are accurate then we also have proof that the GFW has the capability to detect many kinds of VPN despite strong obfuscation efforts and potentially decrypt the data streams. That is not “futile”, it’s scary AF.

Specific to phone calls you and your Aunties can chatter about whatever you like but there’s a strong possibility that those calls are being recorded, transcribed, and reviewed by automated systems for potential real world action. We know that the American NSA has this capability so it’s a near certainty that the Chinese Government does as well.

But I’m not seeing any of this in the guts of the article.

It’s a 3 part series so presumably that kind of content will be coming in either Parts 2 or 3.

I’m glad the lawsuits didn’t kill them but what Kahle tried to do with “Open Library” and “Project 78” was truly insane. Admirable but insane. They absolutely had to know right from the outset that the Media Companies weren’t going to allow it to continue post-COVID.

The deflock site doesn’t show any cameras at my closest HD but I don’t know if this means that they respect their customers slightly more than Lowe’s or if it means the site just hasn’t been updated yet. I’ll have to make a point of looking the next time I’m up that way.

Same here. I’d like to think that there don’t exist here but I’ll bet they do it’s just that no one has updated the map.

Reolink for the cameras and deny them internet access. You can tell them to record to internal SD Card and / or setup an NVR like Frigate. If you don’t want “roll your own” headaches and have the money for it then use gear from Ubiquiti and UniFi Protect.

Which means they have to run and maintain servers.

I’d bet money that it works just like similar devices from Reolink. Local recording to SD Card or NVR. If you want cloud recording then you’re paying a monthly subscription.

This device from Aldi is at a very low pricepoint but it’s specs are garbage. 480p recording? In 2025? C’mon…
