Conference room monitors are still (mostly) dumb.

I work in IT and I harshly judge anyone else in IT who willingly chooses an iPhone.

When I started with my current company they gave me my choice of iPhone as a company phone (basically last year's model at no cost, or I could pay a bit and get the latest model).... when I asked if Android was an option I was told "oh, no... Android is open source, so it isn't secure". If I didn't need the paycheck I would have quit right then. I just stared at my boss and didn't know what to say. I mean, I knew what I wanted to say, but I also didn't want to tell my new boss that he's a dumbass.

So now I carry 2 phones and last year I broke my Android phone and had to use the iPhone as my daily driver for a couple of months. I figured I'd come to appreciate the iPhone but no, there was almost no redeeming qualities.

Do you have to pay for the shots or do you get them for free?

In the US that's a tricky question because for the most part our insurance will cover it at 100%, so it feels like they are free shots because you can walk into a pharmacy, get a shot, and walk out without having to pay. However, we pay a lot out of each paycheck for that insurance (those of us lucky enough to have a job that offers decent insurance).

 

This is a weird one. My MacBook will just stop communicating on my network. It shows that it is connected to WiFi, and if I reboot it it will load a webpage for the first few seconds after I login, but then it just stops all network communication - even though it still shows connected to WiFi. Nothing else on my network is impacted. I can't ping in or out. I reinstalled macOS and it worked, for about 4 days, then stopped working again.

Anyone seen this before?

They aren't climate change deniers, they are pro-climate change. Putin has said that a warmer world would be great for Russia since it would open up Siberia. The whole reason trump wants Canada and Greenland is because he knows that new shipping lanes and oil deposits will open up.

Or Gemini which crimes trump was convicted of...

But I don't see anyone complaining about... Ah, point taken.

Thanks... I hadn't actually read it until just now.

I'm an idiot.

My mother-in-law makes a great Cincinnati chili. She always makes a huge amount and it freezes well too.
