UID_Zero

Please don’t take those recommendations out of context.

They also recommend MFA, but people only ever bring up the “no rotation” bit.

I see a "Women for T****" sign down the road. That's what the words say, anyway. What it says to me is "I vote against my own best interest."

While I generally agree, I must say that my Ryobi tools are doing just fine after 15ish years of use. Primarily the drill is what's used, and it's seen some shit but aside from a little cosmetic issue (rubber peeling off here and there) it's in great working order. I can afford better now, but I'm happy enough to keep what I've got.

I'm just a handy home owner, so it's not like I'm abusing these things.

Yeah, rough day. Reading shitposts and laughing at all the other orgs that were down...it was a blast.

Healthcare. I'm in IT.

Some people prefer offices, others not. My employer gave us the option of where we work, and it's been working out very well. About 5% chose to be in the office, another 10-15% are hybrid, the rest are fully remote. With proper support from management, it works great.

Investing comes with risks. Sounds like they're sour about being on the losing end for once.

I'm indifferent to them. I use their products, but I'm not a huge fan. I use them because I dislike the alternatives more.

I've been considering trying to degoogle myself, but honestly it would be complicated, and there's a wife-approval factor that likely hinders that. We have multiple Chromecasts, Next hubs, etc around the house, and my wife likes the ease of use. I am slowly building up a home assistant instance, but still tying it into the Google home integration for ease of wife approval.

I use what works best for me, and right now most of those options are from Google.

Interesting. Looks like perhaps your boot loader isn't properly pointing at your root partition.

I'm assuming you've just done the install and never successfully booted, yes? In that case, you can try to re-run the installer, or try rescue mode and try repairing the bootloader.

Are you doing dual-booting, or is this system dedicated to Linux?

Same situation, I packed up my Xbox because we're looking to move. Cancelled Game Pass Ultimate sub for now, but maybe I don't end up resubscribing.

Fair, but I meant updates from the original manufacturer.

You gain very little from security because nobody is targeting you...

It's not about being targeted, it's about being caught in the big fishing net that scammers are throwing. You don't have to be targeted to have security concerns.

If a phone isn't receiving regular security updates, I won't use it. My Pixel 5a just got replaced because it's coming up on end of support. My new Pixel has 7 years of support, so I feel a lot better about keeping it longer.
