  • Keep everyone, and I mean everyone including senior management and directors, on task, on track, and all pointing in the same direction.

    Good ones keep scope creep in check, and make sure decisions made last week are adhered to today.

    The problem is there are a lot of not great PM's, and a lot of management that run roughshod over PM's.

  • Sounds like this is nothing more than the native credential token caching NT always had. So even if you lost domain connectivity for months, anyone who had previously logged into that machine could still log in (of course, because it hasn't connected to the domain directory for credential updates).

    Not sure why it's seen as an RDP specific thing, I don't see anything in the article clarifying this only affects RDP. It should affect the entire machine/any local logins (not local credentials, any logins that happened on the machine, so the domain credential token was cached).

    Some clarification around how credentials are updated from Azure/MS would be helpful, and clarify if this is any more than the original NT token caching.

  • Ooh, ah, thinner sliders, background blur in quick settings.

    Quit fucking around, and give us real changes. Like letting us fully disable immersive apps (I'd like to see my status bar in maps, thank you very much), fix the worthless waste of space oval quick settings, which I just stopped using because they're now useless. I went and loaded a sidebar app, because it works so much better than the now pointless quick settings.

    And let users adjust a lot more stuff, like for accessibility. I can't imaging handing a new phone to someone with vision or motor issues. I hit the wrong thing all the time, and I don't have either issue.

    Oh, bringing color back to the status bar, but only for Google icons? Can I please have the color back like I had, oh 15 years ago? So I know who messaged me by the color of the icon?

    Keep on dumbing things down, while also making them more opaque.

  • About once every 10 years. Though I have a 20 year old dryer that just started squeaking on occasion. It's because they use bushings instead of a proper sealed bearing.

    You can get the kit on Amazon for $15-$20, depending on the dryer.

  • Such a weird thing to have, except... The Taurus did change Ford, and was a massive impact on the industry too.

    Thought they were ugly when they debuted, then a family member got one, and I found it was a good car - one of the best American cars I've driven or worked on (especially for the era). Still a homely car, had to look at it's ugly ass for 300,000 miles. Yep, that good of a car.

    Probably my only mechanical complaint is how they implemented the front suspension - the combination of a less-than-ideal subframe mounting and unequal length half shafts meant it was a bitch to keep aligned and suffered some awful torque steer.

  • Meh, DRM has been repeatedly circumvented. It's a cat-and-mouse game, with very few cats (DRM developers/vendors) and many mice (DRM circumventors) who are very motivated.

    DRM is to prevent the average consumer from sharing stuff.

  • Verizon has had this since flip phone days.

    As you noted, it uses cell tower data, so anything that has a SIM can be located pretty accurately. (Technically anything with a cell radio, as towers will track that).

    It's how they had mapping on flip phones.

    I remember talking to peers about location tracking with the first digital cell phones circa 1996. We were concerned then, but couldn't get any non-tech folks to hear us.

  • There's a reason it's recommended to put kids in the back seat: it simply doesn't have the risks of the front. The other requirements for front safety and rollover have a knock-on effect of making the rest of the vehicle safer (can't improve rollover without improving the strength and energy distribution of the lower half of the car, which means improving impact protection too) . Note that cars have side airbags in the rear, they don't have forward ones because they simply aren't necessary, since there's no dash to impact in a frontal collision.

    I'd much rather be in the back seat in any accident.

  • Doesn't remind me of a Tucker at all. Here's a Tucker front. (Also, what a gorgeous car the Tucker was).

    But that rounded front is pretty much the design element of the times.

    Looking at the Nash, I see "streamlining", which was a pre-war concept akin to what we'd call aerodynamic today (though it wasn't necessarily aerodynamic, just a visual style). Streamlining is more associated with art deco period to me - it appeared on things like train engine designs in the early 20th.

  • This is great news.

    As an early Android user, the F-Droid app is challenging enough that I don't recommend it to people, because I don't have the time to hold their hand everyday. This is unfortunate as F-Droid repositories are the easiest way for non-technical people to get more privacy-friendly apps.
