Huh? I was pretty sure it’d fall out of OS support this year. And without security patches, shudder
Instead of a “renaissance man”, I’m a “renaissance nerd”. Pinball? Sure. Sci-fi? Of course. video games? Natch. 70’s Italian Prog-rock? A raison d’etre.

Go do the demo. It is honestly really impressive. Had no intention of doing it, I’m not the target demographic or audience, but I was there to get a battery replaced and while I waited they did it. My jaw dropped at least twice.
I’m at a loss for the kind of things it can do for me day-to-day right now (and yeah, they have to come up with good selling points there), but for a virtual desktop I’d be there if it were cheaper. But you kinda see where they’re heading - glasses where you could read the web, check weather, watch tv, or play games, the UI, and the phone is just a computing brick that sits in your pocket all day
It’s not just SQL, it’s frequently the OS. Corporate tools don’t support the new OS so you install the “supported” OS, which is now several years old, and which only supports the next version or two of SQL Server. Microsoft also didn’t help things with 2012R2, which was 2 years later but had the same EOL as 2012.
And yes, you can set compatibility level on the database, but there are still edge cases where the engine version matters. And the business prioritizes, but upgrades are lower on the list than money-making features.
Correct. They don’t pay you to code. They pay you to solve problems, which normally ARE solved by code, but they really don’t care how.
Like others have said, it’s an entirely different type of beast. It’s not your traditional “snarky but likable protagonist almost designed to be read by Wil Wheaton in the inevitable audiobook“. But it is very good military sci-fi.
Everyone I see using them merely uses it to blow the detritus into the street. What you’re saying makes a lot of sense, but people don’t do that
I believe the hardware for the touch was on the X and Xs
I use Feedly. It’s not Google News, but it works well, the mobile app is great, and it’s not going to be killed on a whim.
That’s the goal. (Unsure of sarcasm)
Thanks. Bounced repeatedly against Harrow and wasn’t sure if I should bother with book 3.
Unfortunately, it’s probably just because it’s a “major version” feature. All reporting sounds like they are using one of two different models, either their own or possibly googles, but they want that to be a big part of the push for the new phone, I’m sure, just like they did with the iPhone 4s and Siri. I’m hoping it just incorporates more local device features, like better shortcuts and better Siri. I don’t need it to draw photos, I don’t need for it to look up shit on the Internet… But if it could summarize the page I’m currently reading, that might be nice
Let us know what you wind up going with.
Spoken like somebody who’s never had a corporate laptop with all the big-brother-ware and anti-virus. At 10pm, having stepped away hours ago, the fan is still at full blast.
I love the ancient Microsoft Ergo keyboard. 1995 is texting.
I used it for a good 2-3 years. More than anything, it was stable and reliable. Updates worked fine and it handled all my hardware, which I’d run into problems with on other Linuxes. No complaints, though migrating versions was a WTF, because there was no clear path with CLOS, so wound up learning Debian and their Toy Story-based version naming convention.
Yeah, definitely a concert to Mermaid.
Excalidraw. Reading is hard. (Yeah, I missed that it was mentioned in the thread)
What did you use to chart this? And nicely done.
There are so much fantastic space opera out there. Some high-points for me, but depends on what you want out of a space opera:
Thanks for the info. Yeah, that support is even better than I’d thought, and it was already top-tier
