  • Actually the floon goes inside the zargnix. Duh.

  • Banking, entertainment services, e-commerce used to be easily accessible from a browser but now are gradually phased out in favor of a native apps, why?

  • My main worry is that if I lose my phone or it's stolen, especially if I'm overseas,I won't be able to access a lot of sites due to the 2 factor authentication. A lot of sites don't have alternative 2fa methods, only SMS or through the app. I've been trying to think of a way to access these sites if overseas and my phone gets lost or stolen, the only thing I can think of is to take my sim out and hide it, and buy a local sim when in a new country. If I need 2FA I put in my old sim, but for day to day stuff use the local sim. If the phone gets stolen / lost, I've not lost the 2FA capability.

  • ’13 Reasons Why’ Star Tommy Dorfman Reveals Paltry First Season Earnings: “This is Why We Strike”

  • I think we all assume that any actor with a decent recurring role in a hit TV show is earning thousands an episode. I often look up actors on IMDB while I'm watching something where I know I've seen them before, and it's amazing how many times you see they have gone years without being in anything. Some may be doing theatre, but a lot of familiar faces are often only in 1 thing a year, or go a couple of years without being in anything then have 2-3 episodes. I really feel it's not a viable career for most. Yet the execs make millions. This actor - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2895488/?ref_=tt_cl_t_12 - Susan Park, for example. She was in the first Fargo TV series in 2014, 5 episodes, which is where I remember her from. Then between 2014 and 2020 she was in a total of 29 TV episodes. Let's be generous and say she earned $10000 per episode. That's only $48333 a year on average. And 11 of those were 2016-2017, so between 2017 and 2020 she was in 6 episodes. She then was cast in Snowpiercer in 2020 and has been in other stuff since (High Desert most recently). She also did some minor film roles, I doubt the pay was much for those. So this is an actor I recognise who has been in some major TV shows, yet is out of work a lot.

  • Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes?

  • I posted the same movie before seeing this. I wish they would make a TV series of these books instead of Foundation. I thought the movie was a good robot movie, but was very disappointed that it didn't follow the books.

  • I, Robot - extremely disappointed that it didn't follow the books, but I've watched it several times and if you pretend it came out under a different title it's a good robot movie.

  • Intel is quitting on its adorable, powerful, and upgradable mini NUC computers

    Jump

  • I just bought a used Lenovo ThinkCentre M710Q Mini Tiny Desktop PC Computer i5 6400T 1TB SSD Win 10 Pro from Ebay for $289 AUD and plugged in some oldish external SSDs and HDDs and now have 10TB of storage. I'm really pleased with it, it took about half an hour to install Proxmox and I've now got 5 VMs up and running.

  • I wouldn't recommend a WD My Cloud Home - it's not a NAS as such, it's a bit limited; I'd go for a Synology. or One Drive as you suggest - a 1TB plan is quite reasonable with regards to cost.

  • In 2017, I bought a 1TB 960 Evo for 466€. Now, in 2023 the 1TB 970 Evo Plus is 43€.

  • I had a 2010 Macbook Pro that I was about to throw away a couple of years ago because it was unusable - beach ball of death constantly. I bought a 500GB SSD for around $70 AUD, went on YouTube and about an hour later booted up; it was like a new laptop. I eventually chucked it earlier this year because the battery had it and I didn't want to spend any more on it.

  • What's a company secret you can share now that you no longer work there?

  • My wife ran her own business, and a lot of her time was spent chasing up people like this and it was so frustrating. A lot of small business owners do everything themselves, so having to re-issue invoices and chase them up if they weren't paid was a real pain. She didn't mess about though, of they didn't pay and didn't communicate she would engage a debt-collection company. She also knew some of her clients were also small businesses and would work out a payment plan or extra time if they needed it. But some deliberately strung her along till the last minute.

  • I did some IT work at a hospital, patient records including names, addresses, conditions and doctor's notes (inc mental health notes) were stored in the database in plain text. You had to have admin access to the database (which I did), but I was stunned that I could browse anyone's entire medical information. A few weeks after I left I sent an anonymous email to a couple of people letting them know how bad it was - I didn't use my real one just in case they may have come after me for looking at the records.

  • Question on Proxmox Pools (I'm a bit of a noob)

    Jump

  • Thanks for the responses; it seems I can't really do it. I looked into ZFS but if I use that it halves the available disk space to 2TB. I'm using the VM for a media server and thought it would be better to have 1 4TB space instead of 2 2TB disks. At the end of the day it isn't a big deal, I just thought I'd be able to present both disks as 1.

  • I hope one day we will be able to charge devices without plugging them in - even if the amount of charge is small, it might be able to trickle charge all the time.

  • I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.

  • I've been on the internet since the early 90s and try to keep my stuff anonymous. But as you say, I am sure someone could find out all about me if they wanted, despite using a VPN 90% of the time, using dummy emails to sign up for stuff, never posting photos etc. If someone posts a photo to Facebook with me in it, with a comment "Me and John Doe having a great time", I have no control over it.

  • Why are so many climate records breaking all at once?

    Jump

  • I also read that what is not taken into account is that the people on the cruise ships are not somewhere else - so you have hundreds of thousands of people who are not driving, heating houses, flying, or basically not doing other things that could cause emissions. Whether it has an effect or not I don't know, but it does sort of make sense.

  • As an IT support person, I've learnt to dumb things down for management. They don't want to hear stuff like "Increased the SGA, changed the buffer size and added a function based index...etc". Sometimes I'll do a short and a long version something like "the issue was around memory settings which have been increased", plus the detailed info.
