So I have a conspiracy theory around that. Android used to put the volume slider at the top of the screen. At some point they moved it to the right side, and now blocks the skip button on YouTube. I won’t doubt this was done on purpose, so if you lower the volume for an ad, you will be forced to watch more of it.

Got to get those datetimes properly formatted. I can’t hate on that

Thanks rimjobsteve

Hijacking top comment with something completely unrelated, just so people will see it

Can you change the report for this one customer who has a nonstandard completely fucking stupid set up that none of your collection points account for and goes against the entire point of this report?

Well, maybe not those exact words. It’s more like:

• rep: customers XYZ doesn’t like what they see on the report
• me: well tell them to clean up their shit and stop leaving orphaned systems in their environment
• rep: well can’t you just exclude the orphaned ones
• me: the point of the report is to help you clean up your environment. If they did that it would show improvement week over week until it got to the levels they want to see.
• rep: they don’t want to do that, they just want them excluded from the report
• me: no

My first thought too. I can listen to their entire discography without skipping a single song. And they are even better live. Saw them a month ago and even after tonsil cancer Mike hasn’t slowed down a bit.

I was 8 years old when I moved to Texas. I’ve never been more disappointed than the first time I saw a roadrunner. My only frame of reference was Looney Tunes.

We mustn’t dwell. No, not today. We can’t. Not on Rex Manning day!

Do CentOS next

All extremely valid points. Especially…

7. your mindset needs to change: you‘re now a guy responsible for implementing rdp correctly, embrace open source and make it work for everyone. See the amount of influence you can actually have.

This is the mind set I need. I was most likely so frustrated at the driver issues by this point, I probably didn’t give it the go it needed. Like I said when it came to compiling a dev branch, I just said f it. Hopefully I’ll get some time in the coming days to approach it with a fresh mindset.

It certainly made me think back to my early days of fighting IRQ conflicts in Windows ME. Or trying to get a LAN party going with mixtures of 98, 98 SE, and ME. And getting excited about the troubleshooting. I guess all these years later I’ve just gotten salty.

Damn autocorrect

So, I’m coming to learn that about Nvidia. I figured with the 3080 being a few years old now things would be alright. I was wrong.

It was a strange one. I had never seen anything like it before. It could still see the hardware, but listed it as unclaimed. Nothing I could do would get it to start working. When I finally decided to reinstall, I figured I’d try a different distro.

I’d prefer separate windows for each monitor. I tried both ways but it really didn’t like my setup.

I tried Remmina and it wasn’t working either. I couldn’t even get it to connect using the same settings as RDP free.

I agree. The majority of my issues come down to the manufacturers. I even updated my BIOS to see if it would help with the ACPI issues, but no luck. Motherboard is 3 years old, so it’s not like I’m trying this on brand new hardware either.

Guess I should have said love USB, but some old habits die hard. Either way having to go in and disable ACPI just to get it to boot is not something most people would be comfortable with.

I did try using the spam, same issues. I tried only using 2 of them and other combinations. Unfortunately no luck.

I use multiple monitor RDP in Windows on a daily basis. I want to keep my work and personal systems separate, but love having 4 monitors. So I just RDP into my work laptop from my desktop. It was buggy in the past, but I’ve been using this setup for a few years now and it’s been seamless in Windows 10 & 11.

I’ve been using Sideload Channel Launcher since they started putting ads on the home screen. It’s a simple clean layout that is easy to set up and get everything you want on it. It even has a icon you can add for power settings.
