Missed opportunity to call it displaycer


Indeed Apple is a frivolous enterprise. MacBooks and iPhones aren’t used for anything important.


That's why closed platform is bad. That's why closed platform is bad. It's dead if hardware is no longer supplied.


A guy was on Irish radio and he said he bought the cheapest outbound ticket he could find. Managed to get to the arrivals lounge and find his bag there.


I'm not following this strategy. Did he need to buy an outbound ticket to go collect his lost bag?


To get on the other side of security. Presumably this was in the international baggage pickup or something.


The slightly cheaper tactic may be to actually to buy a fully refundable fare (usually for thousands) for much later in the day, and then cancel it and ask for a full refund.

(This is also how airport lounge abuse is done.)


Fully refundable tickets are awesome. My old company had a contract where all international business travels to customer sites must purchase fully refundable business class tickets. I remember someone had to cancel their travel just before boarding, and the airline refunded everything no questions asked.


To get through security and make his way to arrivals from within the airport, I guess.


+1 for bitwarden. Of all the things not to trust closed source software with, passwords are the main one


[flagged]


If there were ever a post to drive me away from a product, this'd be it. Good to know that I should stay well away from KeepassXC, if this is what its defenders sound like.


It's really disappointing to see what's a now flagged post and push-back to what was obviously a flagrant comment. For a more level-headed opinion on KeepassXC, it's decently polished and easy to use. It's also open-source and cross-platform. I like it and came from the original Keepass. I didn't have any specific issues with the first besides wanting to try something new. I haven't noticed any major issues with KeepassXC myself but open to hearing others' experiences.


Comment was flagged so I have no idea what they said, but I use KeePassXC and I'm happy with it. Regular KeePass is good too, but I use XC because it's cross-platform.


If you turn on showdead in your user profile settings you can see flagged comments. I find it helps with context in situations like this, but certain types of posts do attract a lot of racist/sexist garbage that you normally cant see so be forewarned.


Can you comment on why you think Bitwarden is a „POS“ and what KeepassXC does better?


>KeepassXC is fortunately the only sane password-manager

What's wrong with Keepass?


Most teams have career opportunities on their websites. I suggest starting there.


Apart from the fact Linux has total customisability, a working search function, doesn't spy on its users, has programs to run Windows apps, isn't anti-consumer, and of course is free.


Maybe you missed the part where I said I was Linux exclusive for a decade plus. For me the trade-offs aren't worth it anymore - I'm mainly interested in a Linux programming environment. I'm sure the trade-offs are different for others.


Linux programming environment is a desktop distribution. Maybe WSL has some part of it, but a VM is a VM.


> VM is a VM If it runs fast so you can barely notice any difference with WSL2, does it really matters?


Hardware abstraction. AFAIK WSL2 also even uses a non-standard init system.


Maybe he is, but if a system is to function properly it must work in the worst-case scenario.

Therefore, I disagree that this person is arguing in bad faith and is in fact attempting to point out where the system fails in a worst-case scenario such as this.
