Keep everyone, and I mean everyone including senior management and directors, on task, on track, and all pointing in the same direction.

Good ones keep scope creep in check, and make sure decisions made last week are adhered to today.

The problem is there are a lot of not great PM's, and a lot of management that run roughshod over PM's.

"Steak holders" lol, autoincorrect got you, but at least it's funny.

And I agree - good PM's are incredible. Bad PM's are useless.

Sounds like this is nothing more than the native credential token caching NT always had. So even if you lost domain connectivity for months, anyone who had previously logged into that machine could still log in (of course, because it hasn't connected to the domain directory for credential updates).

Not sure why it's seen as an RDP specific thing, I don't see anything in the article clarifying this only affects RDP. It should affect the entire machine/any local logins (not local credentials, any logins that happened on the machine, so the domain credential token was cached).

Some clarification around how credentials are updated from Azure/MS would be helpful, and clarify if this is any more than the original NT token caching.

Resilio Sync or Syncthing

Ah, just saw the browser requirement.

In nextcloud discussions I've heard of Seafile. I've never used it, so not sure what it's capable of.

That's just Charlie Brown Thanksgiving in real life! (Snoopy and a folding chair get in a fight). Hahaha, awesome, thanks for the link.

Ooh, ah, thinner sliders, background blur in quick settings.

Quit fucking around, and give us real changes. Like letting us fully disable immersive apps (I'd like to see my status bar in maps, thank you very much), fix the worthless waste of space oval quick settings, which I just stopped using because they're now useless. I went and loaded a sidebar app, because it works so much better than the now pointless quick settings.

And let users adjust a lot more stuff, like for accessibility. I can't imaging handing a new phone to someone with vision or motor issues. I hit the wrong thing all the time, and I don't have either issue.

Oh, bringing color back to the status bar, but only for Google icons? Can I please have the color back like I had, oh 15 years ago? So I know who messaged me by the color of the icon?

Keep on dumbing things down, while also making them more opaque.

I'm impressed the part was available, anywhere (and then for a reasonable price!). That can be a real challenge with appliances

Such a weird thing to have, except... The Taurus did change Ford, and was a massive impact on the industry too.

Thought they were ugly when they debuted, then a family member got one, and I found it was a good car - one of the best American cars I've driven or worked on (especially for the era). Still a homely car, had to look at it's ugly ass for 300,000 miles. Yep, that good of a car.

Probably my only mechanical complaint is how they implemented the front suspension - the combination of a less-than-ideal subframe mounting and unequal length half shafts meant it was a bitch to keep aligned and suffered some awful torque steer.

Lol, thanks for the tip...it's bizarro world

Meh, DRM has been repeatedly circumvented. It's a cat-and-mouse game, with very few cats (DRM developers/vendors) and many mice (DRM circumventors) who are very motivated.

DRM is to prevent the average consumer from sharing stuff.

You don't even need to have the cell on your own account - location data for most any mobile device can be purchased from vendors that sell such data.

Totally off the wall question, which I realize probably isn't very meaningful, but I was watching a movie where a character was using a suppressed rifle. Looked like an AR/.223 (I assume).

Well it got me thinking - how much can a given gun be suppressed (decibel reduction) before performance is significantly reduced (I assume it must impact performance, even if just a little since it's attenuating sound waves, which are energy, but what do I know?).

I'm sure it varies by round/load, barrel length, etc, so let's assume a subsonic .223 round in a 14" barrel (is that a common lenth?). Or if you know a specific case that's fine too.

Surely there are reasons why a given suppressor is chosen for a specific use case, and I don't know enough to see that (diminishing returns for length/weight?)

I tried asking chatgpt, but it just returned generic suppressor info.
