I honestly don't think that Windows Vista was bad on its own.
My belief is that these things are what hurt people's perception of Vista:
1. The "Vista Ready" sales stickers on computers that weren't loaded with either updated drivers or were straight up below minimum specs.
2. Hardware drivers. Vista came with an entirely new way of writing drivers, while an improvement over XP, didn't get manufacturer support for a long time. Remember a long time in the world of software is very short time when your shit doesn't work.
3. Windows 7. When it came out it was seen as the savior because stuff just worked. But in reality what probably happened was driver support had improved since Vista's introduction of the new way to write them.

Those are my thoughts. I should add I didn't have any issues with Vista and upgraded in-place to 7 when it came around. The same machine was then upgraded in-place to Windows 10.

Do you agree, disagree?

Currently working on a webassembly Blazor project with IdentityServer4, gRPC, SignalR, and webdev is once again fun

For anyone starting to be curious to look into DevOps. We've moved address to DevSecOps.

Today I cancelled my devrant supporter subscription.

I've had it with the spam comments.

Got a Sparkmaker FHD resin based 3d printer two days ago. Last night I set it to print a rather large feral druid from wow. I'm pretty excited to see it finishing up this morning!

Just woke up to this notification from AliExpress

No, No you fucking don't you motherfucker. I will find you, and I will kill you. Murder is on my mind

Clean up your ways dear kartsriv.
This is about a deleted rant.

I was just sent this from a recruiter. It hurts to read this...

For those curious... I went with a Nokia 7.1 at a reasonable 238eur on sale.

Thanks for the tips

If you bought a new phone in 2018, why?
And why did you get that *model/brand*?
If company phone, then why not just pass?

I currently have an LG G4, which was a flagship phone of its time.
Now I'm considering buying a new one because this phone doesn't seem to like WiFi and my wifi doesn't seem to like the phone.

I don't think I want another flagship phone again, since all I've used this one for is email, telegram, conference apps, netradio, banking, devrant, Google music, pedometer. In the beginning I liked it had FM radio, but I'm not even using that anymore. And never used it for gaming (no blizzard, I don't want Diablo on mobile)

I don't want to throw lotta money at it.
So some of my requirements are: rootable, if possible changeable battery, great camera, latest Android version, exercise tracker of some sort.

Any alternative ideas for phones to look at or website that can give a list based on selections?

We have a patching system that takes a main version and applies small changes while they are able to work. I designed it inspired by how Google and Mozilla does it.

Last week I prepared a small change to the patch by replacing a single exe and leaving everything else so no database changes were required.

I committed the patch file and left it for our testers without changing version numbers as that wasn't required here.

Well... More changes were made and version numbers were bumped. Which required version changes in the database, but no changes were being executed by the tiny program that does that because they made changes to that instead of just reusing the old version to.

That change were made to prevent it from redoing old changes which I guess is fine. Except now it did no changes at all.

Please test if you change what I commit.

Your mom is so round a 32bit calculator overflowed

I hate when my co-worker a second after explaining the problem for him automatically says "I don't know what to do".
Maybe think about possible options instead.

Which do you prefer:
A = (stat != "0")
Or
B = stat != "0"
Ignoring that () are redundant

Grrrr every 2nd request to github fails with certificate errors right now

Thought there might already be the first high altitude rant.
Hello from 10km above you all.

Things to complain about:
The LOUD plane.
The LOUD Asians.
The seat swapping Asians. Throws passenger manifest out the window in case of accidents.
The hairiest dude next to me which is only like 3 links away from being descendent of monkies.

The good stuff:
Modern Boeing 737-800.
Free WiFi for everyone.
Friendly crew.

I now know how serious linksys takes my security.

Today I heard a story from my workplace about a clinic that uses our software.
They received a virus that causes the computers on this clinic to bork because the owner clicked a link in an email with a fake postal message.

Right after we had restored them...
Then he wanted to see if it would happen again if he clicked the link...

Thought that would have taught them.
But it happened a 3rd time in the same week.

So this fucking registry database key exists.
Thoughts?
