Honestly wouldn't even be that difficult to build. Windows is just a GUI for Powershell anyway.

Damn... Now I want new gear.

Also "I ride almost exclusively in the midwest US, so hard, rough, icy conditions that most people wouldn't consider snowboarding in are the every day" - I'm in the northeast, so I am very familiar with ice boarding, so I'm sold.

Damn... I still snowboard in my gear that is over 20 years old. Has it really changed that much? I only go a few times a year so I never wanted to spend the money on new stuff. Lift tickets already cost an arm and a leg.

Is there a simple way to find out if your Information was in this leak, and what information it is? I use haveibeenpwned for leaks linked to my email address, but from I read in this article, it's not linked to my email address.

So how do I found out if my data was leaked without paying for a credit monitoring service?

And if I understand correctly, they are safer because there is less chance of parts touching inside. I don't know the correct t terminology, but one of the big problems with current li-ion batteries is that if they get physically damaged, parts inside can touch, which basically starts a short/chain reaction that turns into a dangerous thermal runaway.

Also if I remember correctly the guy that invented li-ion invented some kind of solid state battery with glass right before he died. I'm assuming this technology stems from that.

Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this. Knowledge is power.

Also in the context of working, this isn't just computers. It's tools in general, and a computer is a type of tool. Problems with your saw? Problems with your batteries? Problems with access to electricity and your extension cords not being long enough? Problem with losing your 10mm sockets? If you're a trucker or driver the problem could be your vehicle. Etc etc etc.

This article is stupid. Tools break, they always have and always will. The tools we have now are better than they have ever been. They will probably keep getting more and more efficient, but they will still break. Because tools break.

Confusion like this got me my current job. They were looking for somebody with experience in "Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager", and I look that up and I'm like "Oh, that's SCCM, I do that". Go through the interview process they keep asking me if I know Endpoint Configuration Manager and I'm like "yeah, for sure". I get the job. Day one, the other systems engineer is like "here is the link to our Endpoint Manager Tenant", and I'm like "oh... Shit I have never ever used this"

Well... Ends up Endpoint Configuration Manager and Endpoint Manager are two different things. Fortunately for me they are pretty similar in function and rely on knowledge of Windows and Powershell, which I know.

So my first 2 weeks of work was taking a shitload of courses in Endpoint Manager and watching a lot of videos and learning it inside and out.

2 years later and I'm an Endpoint Manager/Intune pro.

I have been living in the Samsung ecosystem for quite a long time now, and i finally decided to make the switch to Pixel because the 8 looked pretty great, and it was time for a new phone.

Big surprise to me, is that I can no longer use any of my Samsung Smart Tags, which I have quite a few of (Dog collar, Luggage, Car, eScooter, Keys, Backpack, etc).

I am pretty upset with this, as I purchased the smart tag pro's, and it wasn't exactly cheap. I previously had some Tile devices, but I found them to be incredibly unreliable, and I really don't want to have to re-purchase a bunch of devices and the things that hold them (collar, waterproof container etc).

With all of that said, is there any unofficial way to get the Samsung smart devices working on a Pixel? From my understanding, they are just bluetooth devices. I don't see why there would be any physical restriction to pairing them to my Pixel, it's just the software stopping it. Like is there some kind of jailbroken Samsung Smart Things apk that tells the app that you're on a Samsung device? I've looked around but haven't had much luck finding antyhing, so I thought I might ask here.
