Yep, perfect.
I don't edit text files in the terminal often enough to make spending time learning vi(m) worth it (yet).
Has anyone in here worked with Cisco VoIP and Cisco Jabber? I've got the app on my phone now, have company e-mail access on it, I'm just trying to get the app to talk to my desk phone so I can answer it if I go get a cup of coffee or something.
I'm so used to Vim that I wind up generating a lot of :wq s in my file if I try to use anything else
I'm also so used to Vim that when I use vi (no m) I wind up generating enough entropy for some very secure passwords

For some actual content, my university paid for office365 for every student and are now desperate to get people to use it. When they saw usage rates spike at the beginning of the years then fall to almost nothing within a few months, they initially wrote it off as a bug. They're seemingly on the "bargain" part of the stages of grief now, since they gave these flyers to new students this year

Office 365 would be great if you could pick what you want installed. I have to have One Drive for Business (it's as shit as One Drive with the reliability of Skype, kill me) installed and running because I need the other shit.
I have 1 TB of One Drive and unlimited on Google Drive but my internet is too shit to actually make use of it.

On the other hand, once you set it up, you will more or less not have to so much as look at it again for several years.
[QUOTE=Demache;50921461]Does the writing say "NTNU is desperate" or something like that? Don't read norweigian, could be a false cognate. :v:
Any reason why people aren't using it though? I was happy when are university got it because I got the full version of Office without paying extra.[/QUOTE]
The direct translation would be "NTNU is becoming desperate" but i would say you're right.
No one actually wants to use the 365 part of office with mail, cloud storage and online editors. If they don't use the chance to switch to LaTeX, they end up logging in, downloading the offline desktop programs and call it a day.
It's nice of them to give everyone the software, but i get the feeling they could've gotten a much better deal by giving everyone individual keys rather than pay for 365. If that wasn't the case they wouldn't be so desperate in trying to get users to justify the investment.

It is probably a lack of awareness honestly, I had no idea I could get office 365 for free though my college until recently and I only found that out while researching student discounts on surface products. My college doesn't have anything about it on their website or anywhere else.
I recall about two years ago that institutions can include student licenses in their 365 agreement. Microsoft was directly advertising that students could get Office 365 University free through their school.
To be quite honest though, a four year license for $80 is still pretty good value.

I think a possible trade off would be the OneDrive storage that you get with your school account. At least for mine, it was using SharePoint and it was terrible. My school had it set up on one of their servers and it was using an older version of SharePoint where there was a 2GB file size limit. I think more recently they switched to OneDrive so it's a lot less terrible. I can use the online versions of Microsoft Office Word, Excel, etc. but I'd imagine my storage and the school account would be gone eventually after graduating.

When I was first starting out I would manually configure my partitions but now I just tell the installer to use LVM and figure all that shit out for me because I honestly don't see the point in manual control for home use.

Normally I'd agree but brt isn't exactly doing it for home use and he needed to use the btr file system instead of the default ext4 for whatever reason
[QUOTE=Levelog;50921263]But vi(m) is the only option?[/QUOTE]
If the only option is to be blatantly counter-intuitive, then I make my own option with Nano.
Or if GUI, then Leafpad/Mousepad, whichever comes first.
gvim is pretty neat, and with windows mode (So it allows you to CTRL+C and V for copy/paste and use the mouse to select text and have keybindings just like Notepad++) it's pretty comfortable.
Apart from that, I use atom, which to me is the most visually pleasing editor, and seems to have better font rendering on windows compared to Sublime text and such, but requires a good amount of performance to run decently, so it may not be enjoyable for some people. And also because it's the only editor with excellent support for Arma's Scripting language.
And for anything Programming, I use Jetbrain's IDE's.

I wanted to see if btrfs was a good solution for my usecase. Using odd sized drives, having checksums, and being flexible and adaptable. Performance is for the most part not a concern. So I'm willing to severely compromise on it. Basically an improved form of BeyondRAID where I can use my own hardware.
I gave up yesterday though, spent so much time on it and got next to no where. I'll mess with it again in a few days.

Save yourself a few nanoseconds, :x is equivalent to :wq unless nothing was changed, then its equivalent to :q!
Windows Defender claims its definitions are automatically updated and yet I keep getting warnings about it being outdated, and I gotta manually update that shit.

I only use vim in Linux. That's what I learned on so it will stay that way.

I keep having to turn Windows mode off because I hit Ctrl-V to enter a literal ^G character or something and suddenly whoops there's my clipboard

Nice try, but I'm not likely to break my explicit :wq habit any time soon. They'd have to actually deprecate the command first.
So dad bought a printer a few days ago and set it up over the network with [U]sharing disabled.[/U]
I look at my printer list today and find out that somehow, my W10 found the printer and automatically installed it and added to the list.
Ok, how the fuck did you manage that 10.

Maybe on the printer, the sharing was enabled the second it was turned on up until your dad disabled it during setup, and your W10 found it. If you can send something to print, then the disabled sharing is bs on the printer.

I'm gonna say Canon can't do security for shit when it comes to network settings.
I can even get into its control panel without a password, you can bypass the damn login screen.
I'll refrain from a speedtest post because everyone hates that for some reason but Comcast upgraded our internet again randomly
The last speed we paid for was 30mbps, it doubled to 60, went to ~85/6 (previous speed), and just now I noticed we have 130/12?
Cumcast must be feeling the heat of Google Fiber and various city owned fiber networks
I think we can all relate to this feeling

I could get 100/100 if I could be arsed to dig the trench for the fiber cable for our driveway.
I'm waaay too cheap to pay the company to do it for me, and maxed-out ADSL2+ is good enough 95% of the time, so lack of effort on my part :v:
I'd give up my 100 down if it meant I could have like, 50/50, or 75/25
