Finally getting some good hands on time with the SP5 since one of my clients just got 2. Kickstand feels better than previous and the type cover is much improved. I still think I prefer the latitude tablet though. Type cover is like these ones and the more IO is nice.
I found the most amazing hard drive cage design in a pre-built PC. [media]https://youtu.be/sq-Kh0EIqbo[/media] I'm thinking about making a series of the odd pre-built PC design choices I come across at work. Would anyone here be interested in me making more? [sp]Anyone know which subreddit(s) would be good to post this video in?[/sp]

They definitely didn't do it out of the kindness of their hearts

Really though, that is some ridiculous additional complexity and cost, why not just make it detach at that point?

So I found something particularly interesting with Firefox. For those who save their passwords using the built in credential holder: If you update a currently existing password with an extra character, you have the ability to see the old password along with the updated character in plaintext. That's insecure as shit.

At least Chrome makes you authenticate with device credentials
[QUOTE=Levelog;52414655]At least Chrome makes you authenticate with device credentials[/QUOTE] This is, IME, only on Windows. It's not the case on Linux. Maybe it does it on Mac too, not sure.
Got offered a nice IT internship, lads. Quitting being a cook was a good decision.
[QUOTE=wingless;52414664]This is, IME, only on Windows. It's not the case on Linux. Maybe it does it on Mac too, not sure.[/QUOTE] Ah, I haven't used the Chrome password manager in a long while so I couldn't remember. Just remember that it was introduced to the Windows version at some point, wasn't always there.
Oh, didn't know it was a common feature to do so. I've never used the built-in password holders. Seems a little sketchy if you ask me for that to exist without authorization beforehand. [editline]29th June 2017[/editline] Afaik that's how LastPass does it.
I suppose with Lastpass people could still get access to your credentials by selecting copy to clipboard. I only have it to reprompt for master pass for filling my CC info. But that would require someone to get on my computer when I'm not there and it isn't locked, which is pretty much impossible.
My friend gave me his old psu that was burnt out, an evga 1050gs for helping him fix his computer, I sent it in, got a 1200p2 back. $$$

Maybe I should ask for broken GPUs on Reddit and try my RMA luck :buddy:

[QUOTE=pentium;52415659]You could of just said you were referring to me.[/QUOTE] I don't think I've ever heard your voice, if I do I don't remember it. I'm referring to a friend from rural Ontario. So no.
Looking at cheap consumer routers, I want something to replace my WRT54GL. 100Mbps LAN with 802.11g is getting kind of old. But all these cheap sub-100€ routers suck so much. Archer C59 looks like a decent cheap option, but the absolute dickwaffles at TP-Link decided to use a 100Mbps switch for the LAN ports. Out of the cheap nationally available routers over here, maybe the ZyXEL NBG6616 is the best cheap option. Gigabit WAN, 4x gigabit LAN, dual-band a/b/g/n, 16MB Flash, 128MB RAM, supported on LEDE... but someone might have noticed no AC wireless. Archer C1200 has AC and gigabit LAN, but nobody supports it.
A friend and I got the Archer C7 back when it was one of the only cheap and decent AC routers and it's served both of us well (she has it on stock firmware I have dd-wrt) if that helps your decision at all.

Something like the RT-AC68U would also work well. Both routers supports DD-WRT and OpenWRT very well. [editline]29th June 2017[/editline] Basically, get a wireless AC 1900 router if you can afford it. If not, check out some AC-1200 routers (WRT1200AC; RT-AC66U)
Well I spent like 3-6 today at work drinking free beer, playing beer pong on our ping pong table, and getting free food from a food truck. I highly recommend the sysadmin career path.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;52413655]Glad I just got a Pixel XL. First party, awesome hardware, and I plan on moving to Fi which will work well for me.[/QUOTE] Fi is great. Having both T-mo and Sprint coverage (i think US Cellular too) is huge, plus the public WiFi VPN. No problems whatsoever, bill is cheaper on a light data month and overages are charged at the same rate as pre-paying for data.
Got a screwdriver set next day expressed to install the SSD on the weekend, they sent a circuit tester instead. Found screwdrivers in the server room that should suffice but how the fuck do you mess up a 35 piece screwdriver set with a fucking circuit tester?
