I really don’t get why there’s always this group of people who feel the need to constantly manage everything for others—like sysadmins, for example. Sure, there are valid scenarios where management makes sense, like printing or shared drives, but most of the stuff is just over the top. As a developer, I’m sick of all the constant restrictions—broken VPNs, stealth monitoring, and antivirus software that slows everything down. These "security measures" are supposed to help, but they just kill performance and cause frustration. At the end of the day, I just want my system to work smoothly without constant interference.
I think everyone hates it, but they're often legally required. Even when they aren't legally required, they usually are by insurance companies.
Nobody wants to be on the news the first time Becky in Marketing opens an email attachment she shouldn't.
*EDIT* I left out one of the biggest benefits: Dummies & Newbs. The world is filled with people who have never used a mouse before they started this job Last week and people who actually NEED the stupid warning stickers on their toasters. If you don't lock down their desktops your support costs will be astronomical and downtime will be constant. We know this because there was a time before these tools, and it largely sucked for everyone.
Did you know that you can bypass the windows 98 login screen by just clicking 'Cancel' instead of 'OK' at the login prompt? Nice and simple, right? That stupid button not only wrecked security it caused 10's or 100's of thousands of hours in lost work because people forgot their passwords, clicked Cancel, and then would call the help desk wondering why network shares didnt work. It would sometimes take hours to figure that all they had to do was reset the password and login properly.
Project Code Rush documents Netscape’s move to open source and the birth of Mozilla during the first internet boom. The dynamics compared to today’s AI surge were different—commercial web vs. an AI arms race—but the pressure, rapid iteration, stock-driven hype, and “new-tech gold rush” energy feel familiar.
Settings > General > Window Filtering called "Show minimized windows" that you can enable. It's turned off by default, but if you flip that on, all your minimized apps and their windows will show up in the list.
The only heads-up is that live previews aren't available for minimized windows due to a system limitation, so they'll show the app icon instead.
The reason I created this was because I missed the profile sync daemons commonly found in Linux. I haven’t looked into this specific one, but most available solutions are Linux-only.
Oh this bring back memories. As during communist era, there were no extra money or even stores where to buy. So we copied casettes. First load game then save on blank cassete. This worked for almost all games, but one. That one instead of waiting for run or save command, started game immediately. So only way to copy was using double decker. But most of double deckers were shitty. Adding so much noise, that copy didn’t work. I remember visiting one friend that has high quality deck, that was able to make a workable copy.
I'm not stock expert (but bought 80 shares of Nvidia yesterday). My rationale is, that if DeepSeek lowered barier for entry into AI model development, actually more companies can afford to join. Yes, big dogs may require less cards with efficient algorithms, but to me, more companies = more cards needed.
Tangential, but rclone[1] supports this kind of workflow with the `copy` subcommand, if you don't mind spending both download and upload bandwidth at once.
This will definitely be implemented, in fact we mention it on the website as the next major feature. We would also like to support NAS & FTP as well, but most likely start with the major cloud providers.
