  • A few years ago Walmart released a line of gaming computers and the ars technica article I saw was titled something like “Walmart released gaming computers and the prices aren’t awful”.

    I copied and pasted the title verbatim and the post got downvoted a ton and all of the comments were trying to give me shit for the prices not actually being good (I feel like they were in line with normal prebuilts but oh well).

    The Internet is a weird place. And to be honest, since I left reddit and have been on Lemmy I feel like people here vote with passion instead of based on the content of the post/comment a lot more than reddit. Its one of the only complaints I have so far.

    First, you should probably lessen with the therapy speak. This is a personal thing but the commodification of therapy is actually a huge problem that we should talk about. But I digress.

    Second, maybe clarify this up a little bit? Are these people your roommates? Your upstairs neighbor? Downstairs? Next door? I genuinely don’t know who you’re talking about.

    But (I’m assuming these are your up or downstairs neighbors?) I had a buddy who was in a similar situation where even the microwave beeping would cause the upstairs neighbor to thump on the floor. He just had to complain to the apartment complex a bunch (basically every time it happened, as it happened) and eventually they got it sorted. The upstairs neighbor stopped being annoying and moved out shortly after.

    In an apartment you will hear your neighbors and it’s unrealistic to expect them to be perfectly silent all the time.


  • Ubuntu Server supports Windows Active Directory. I haven’t used it for anything but authentication (and authentication works flawlessly) and some basic directory/share permissions but theoretically it should support group policy too.

    It’d be cool if there was a mainstream FOSS alternative though (there might be, I’ve done literally 0 research), but this works okay-ish in the meantime.

    But for management of the actual production servers at work I use a combination of ManageEngine (super great and reasonably priced) and Microsoft’s Entra (doesn’t work well, don’t do it)


  • I actually just switched my tablet from a galaxy tab S8+ to an iPad pro. I use it for work a ton too so it needed to be able to keep up with me, and the iPad is enormously better in basically every way (except side loading which I don’t do anyways) than the Galaxy tab.

    Plus its not even like the Galaxy tab was cheaper. It was like $200 less than my iPad and my iPad has cellular which is incredibly nice.













  • My quest 3 is already plenty good for PCVR so it’ll have to be really good and honestly idk if I trust valve to make a really good headset. The index had really good controls but the tracking, screens, and tether were all annoying even when it launched. But the steam deck is incredible so we will see.

    Plus I actually use my quest in AR mode probably more than I use it for actually playing VR games so I’m really excited to get a headset and OS built focused around AR.
