Bunchie, is that you?

Bonus security because you're clearly developing for legacy code.

Simple solution there is requiring certification in Canada under Canadian supervision.

I think the complaint is that it got linked in the linux community? Idk

I suppose the organization I'm in never made use of those. Wasn't even aware that they offered an alternative to power automate as a means to integrate with MS software lol

You know, people gripe about it endlessly, but after they rewrote it to be more performant, most of my problems with it ended there. It's fine as a chat client. Calls work well, video hasn't been a problem, screen share quality is decent and you can even provide remote support through it in a pinch. It doesn't even consume 2GB+ of memory when sitting idle anymore.

As far as Electron apps go, Teams hasn't been terrible for a long time now.

Jut to add, he was otherwise a part of OpenAI and contributed to their evolution until it threatened his own business model.

Well this is... disappointing. I picked up an A1 at the end of last year because it "just works", and I was tired of fighting my Ender 3 instead of actually printing with it. I'm extraordinarily happy with the quality of the printer itself, but I'll be refraining from updating the firmware I guess, as I don't allow it to use cloud services, and it lives on my LAN as the only means of management.

Except we do. Canada's military isn't large, but it's quite modern. We've been a significant part of training Ukraininian forces on how to use NATO equipment. I think you're a bit confused.

And while I don't agree with our participation, Canada hasn't been a peacekeeping corp in a long time either, having been a player in the war in Afghanistan and Syria. We've pretty consistently assisted American troops in these areas. Canada is a member of NATO, and a developer of arms and munitions as part of the indistrial military complex. We aren't reliant on an island across the ocean for our own protection.

Lol, how long ago was that? Kids these days talk just as much, just not via a phone call. Discord is just how it happens. I figure if you put it into the context of a cellular data plan it might work out better, but even then a lot of those are "unlimited" now

Can confirm there's also no such setting on a Pixel running "stock" Android. Inclined to believe this is a feature specific to (potentially) something like Samsung's OneUI. Doesn't appear for most people that there's an easy way to disable it.

Personally, I like it better than the one that used to appear next to the task switcher, but I can understand the annoyance.

It's an absolutely beautiful work of art worth every penny spent on it.
