Do you know which Jack is your favourite? You should have a contest determine your favourite Jack. A Jack-Off, if you will.

And My Axe.

WFM. Looks like you’re using Let’s Encrypt, which is fine, and everything seems to be consistent. I think you’re good.

<Sips licence like a fine wine served at a dinner party.> Ah, yes, GPLv3, exquisite choice.

I don’t know why but I thought they were some special inaccessible computers.

It’s their marketing. Marketing, marketing, bullshit and marketing. Macs get viruses, Macs have vulnerabilities, Macs crash. Doesn’t matter how much their indoctrinated fans might claim otherwise, Macs are just weird PCs. In that context, their refusal to allow their owners to control them is all the more jarring and makes owning the older models like you mentioned all the more sensible.

This is really niche, but most organisations have a Microsoft Active Directory, or equivalent, that tracks users, their credentials, and their permissions. The sign of a bad AD admin: permissions directly applied to user objects without any intermediary objects or abstraction in AD.

Obviously not meant to be taken literally. It refers to all manufacturers of dairy products.

“Federation” is like “non-fungible token”. Everyone knows what it is, but they’ve never heard it called that.

Fully dressed for WFH. Nude for in-office. Nude with shoes on for client meeting (in-office or WFH).

The secret to keeping water hot is minimising surface area and, of course, insulation. If you want instant hot water you can actually buy electric hot water tanks with, say, 10-15L capacities that go under the sink so the hot water only needs to travel the 50cm or so. Very cheap and much more simple than instant heaters.

Screaming?

…“Outside Pants”? I feel like this might be the real tip here. Please, explain.

You should invest. Nothing gets you dry better than a good Batman.

Get schwifty.

Maybe, but also relevant.

Oatly? Fuck Oatly. Also, Fuck Fuck Oatly. And so on.

For locked-down devices, they’ll be running LTSC or LTSB editions (Long-Term Support Channel/Branch), or Windows Embedded, which are simplified and heavily customisable versions of Windows. For general-purpose devices, they’ll be using Pro or Enterprise versions of Windows which, crucially, support Group Policy. Using GP it is very, very easy for a single admin to configure an arbitrarily large number of Windows machines to work exactly how they want them to work, including configuration options that aren’t otherwise exposed to the end user in any way.

Edit: just to add: the lack of an equivalent of Group Policy is what is preventing Linux becoming widespread in businesses. If you think you know of a service for Linux that works like Group Policy, then you don’t know Group Policy.

It’s the Express, so you can safely ignore it.
