yeah this is my dog. at the vet last week he knew something was about to happen and was absolutely not interested in cheese.

After he had his vaccines and it was all over, so much more relaxed, would eat cheese again.

Definitely. What I didn't mention is all that took over a month!

Been there many times. Had one case where support had to through the reseller who sold licenses in our country. Actual people who knew what they were talking about was tier 3.

We had a bug and were trying to report it and get a fix or workaround. Just told no, we're doing it wrong. After a lot of back and forth we had to pay for an "expert" to fly over and show us what we were doing wrong. Turns out he wasn't an expert, he was a salesmen. Made a demo for us on the flight and the first time he ran it was in our meeting room on projector.

Failed in exactly the way we had been saying. It was very satisfying.

Finally he phoned the dev team who confirmed the docs were wrong and we couldn't do what we were trying.

I think another key difference is everyone can use whatever tool they like and still work on the same codebase. They don't have proprietary file formats that lock in you and your entire team forever.

I've worked on SCADA systems. The most the keyboard was used for was logging in then then putting something heavy on it stop the computer going to sleep. System was entirely controlled by the mouse and head office didn't consider that 1 person might be monitoring 4-6 computers on their own for an 8 hour shift and enforced a 5 minute idle lockout on all of them.

I use audible, then download with audible-cli and decrypt with ffmpeg.

Your tap water is expensive! Is that a typical rate? Its $551 for me for the 5l/hr for 5 years. $0.0075 per gallon. This is in UK. Its billed at £1.98/1000l.

I'm running Jellyfin on 6th gen i3 and quicksync works fine.

It would quickly get very annoying because one of those essential cookies is remembering that you rejected the rest.

The law doesn't actually mention cookies at all. Its about tracking users, they need your explicit consent to track you or to share data about you with third parties. Cookies are the primary way of doing this but there are others and they need your consent too.

You've never worked in finance then. All our systems at work do nothing but move large amounts of txt files around.

That said, many of our clients still don't support utf-8 so its all ascii and non-latin alphabets are screwed. They can't even handle characters 128-255 so even stuff like £ is unsupported.

And remember not all currencies are 2dp so get a list and use the appropriate exponent.

I had to update our currency database this week because there's new currencies. It's almost as bad as timezones.
