Dear @1Password . I tried to sign up to your forum but apparently my name contains restricted text and it won't let me join, so I will post here instead. This latest update that requires double confirmation to save an entry that doesn't have a website in it is the worst change you have made in the 10+ years I've been using your product. People use your product for more than website logins. I have everything from license keys to service accounts on systems and I do not want a website listed with them, nor do I auto fill those. While I get what you're doing, please make this a configurable setting as I almost lost a changed service account credential the first time because I didn't notice it hadn't saved.

It was bad enough when I had a Cisco ISR in my home office. I couldn’t imagine having to work with servers next to me not to mention the thought of permanent hearing damage. There’s a reason I always wore earplugs when I worked in datacentres. You can’t hear our GarageDC from anywhere in the house unless the internal door is open, but you can from the street. There’s two more servers (another Dell R630 and a Cisco UCS C240), a Definity PBX, and a Cisco AS5350 in the rack since this photo but thanks to the wonders of 10Gbps Ethernet it’s just my music and my thoughts while working in the home office. The enclosure around the rack is just a portable greenhouse but it has aircon that kicks in if it’s too warm which is a must here as it reaches 48c in summer so it’s never more than 25c in the rack. It was supposed to be temporary until we got a permanent solution for cooling but it’s worked so well we’ve kept it. With gigabit fiber Internet and a 3000VA UPS we can also host things from home too.

These have been so frustrating to report because it’s impossible to explain to the “person” or support bot on the other end that they only show up with a certain referrer. All my reports have been rejected as nothing wrong with the site and not compromised. I gave up.

I am sure all @plex users are anxious to know when the ads will return.

Thanks @Atlassian for forcing your AI into the Confluence "what's happening" feed. It's so useful how pages in English are now summarised in German.

Mine ended in .fidonet.org and you had to wait until zone mail hour to get new email. I got a Hotmail address in 1996 and have had my personal email at my own domain since 2000.

I’m pretty sure they do it so their computer stays unlocked and their status says they’re in a meeting all that time while they go off and do other things. I’ve joined meetings again where this has happened and the person that stayed is never actually “there”.

I do this as I’d rather spend 5 minutes talking with you and explaining something vs spending the next 3 days emailing. If it’s a huddle or teams call I can even share my screen and show you! Afterwards I then usually write up a quick summary and send that for future reference.

Plenty of opportunities for that iced coffee/beverage after the job interview.

I’ve been saying this will happen for years. Introduce a convenient and cheap online format for content and destroy physical media ✅ Slowly jack up the prices over time ✅ Introduce ads ✅ Pre-roll trailers (ads) on premium tiers ✅ Ads across the board. ⏭️

Shall we start a betting pool to see if @Samsung @SamsungAU will publish my review of the last Samsung TV I will ever buy?

“Why don’t people go out anymore?” I’m not an economist but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out it might have something to do with one round of 4 beers at the pub after work on Friday costing $70.

I jokingly said to a friend that the 2TB NVMe that I put in my PS5 is now worth more than the PS5 itself. It was pointed out to me that I need to check the latest PS5 pricing and I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Bought a new Samsung TV and not only does it have ads in the menu, the ad went full screen with sound. This will be the last Samsung device I buy. I’ve had enough. I only use the menu to switch between my BD Player, Apple TV, and console so the Ethernet cable will be unplugged.

8 “thank you for your purchase” emails from Sony downloading some free DLC for a PS5 game (Saints Row). I’m sure these count towards the “digital sales” metrics the sycophants are parading around.

No thanks Sony, I think I’ll go for the physical copy and save myself $35.95. I can wait until tomorrow.

Apparently reading in public is performative now so I’ll read in the office instead.

Picked a good day to come to the office. Sydney is looking fine today.
