It probably still uses rdp, but doesn’t let you connect to your own instances, just the cloud ones.

tibi@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Forced to lie on a questionnaire (BioLife)English5·2 months agoI seriously don’t understand why anyone would use it. It’s basically a platform that copies images from the internet and lets you bookmark them. Something browsers had since the 90s. Or you could just download the pictures to a folder, so you can see all the thumbnails.
Same in my case. But we were also learning c++ using Turbo C++ (the msdos one with the blue UI) in the 2010. Everything about high school was 15-20 years out of date. The OS (windows xp) was probably the newest thing on those computers.
When I was in high school, computers had Deep Freeze setup, because kids would constantly break the OS and download malware. It’s a software that resets the C drive to a known state on every reboot. You might consider using something similar on classroom workstations.
Also, it might be worth learning about network booting, automating the Linux installer and ansible to install things on every machine at once and automate configuration work.

tibi@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and againEnglish23·6 months agoAmazon is deliberately built to be terrible for the users, so they can push products that make them the most money. Most filters are useless, and some don’t work properly, you only have limited sorting options that also don’t work properly (if you sort ascending by price, it will still put sponsored results that don’t respect the sorting order). A while ago, I was looking for a product that I knew should cost about €5, and I couldn’t find any cheaper than €10 until I got to the 10th result page.
For an example of a good search interface, just check farnell.com. It’s insanely good, you can basically filter by any attribute of a product. Being able to use something like this to search for a laptop, or a mobile phone would be amazing.
What about the accountant who keeps track of the finances and ensures compliance with the laws? He doesn’t produce anything but still needs to be paid. There are a lot of jobs which are essential for the operation of a company, but aren’t producing anything.
Being paid by the hour is fine. What’s not fine is upper management and shareholders hoarding all the profits for themselves while the people below are struggling to pay their bills.
If the map was titled properly like “Great lakes vs deepest and highest elevation lakes”, I wouldn’t mind.
No metric either, and only 2 non-american lakes.

Old hardware might have security vulnerabilities which could be exploited by malware. Running an up to date OS is not enough to keep you secured.

tibi@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump will plunge U.S. somewhere 'between recession and depression': MSNBC analyst8·8 months agoThat’s a weird way of spelling fascism.
Also, agriculture is awful… You can’t make a living unless you have a lot of product to sell. You can’t have a lot of product to sell unless you mechanize. The equipment is prohibitively expensive, so it’s only worth doing it if you have a lot of land. And even then, to get decent yields, you need to sow at a specific time, harvest at a specific time, use expensive fertilizers, use expensive machines that can reduce wasting seed or fertilizer.
Even worse, you are at the mercy of wheather. Which, lately, has been shit. And everyone is trying to fuck you, from assholes controlling the markets, the assholes who make and fix the equipment (like John Deere), the asshole neighbor who let their animals escape, and mother nature with pests, diseases, and bad weather.
Every mistake can be costly. Broken equipment is expensive to repair. You might need to build expensive silos to store your product and sell it when the market is more favorable. Expensive because they have to keep things dry and free of pests, mice and rats love cereals. Harvesting when the cereals are too wet is bad, because it can rot and grow into plants, and drying is expensive (but you might be forced to do it because the weather is bad and you want to avoid a complete loss).
