Now I’m wondering who that guy is and how the company fucked him over.

You’ll have to use a virtual machine and pass through the USB device.

You’ll have to install QEMU (ideally qemu-desktop since you’ll only need the x86 VM), libvirt, and virt-manager. Start the libvirtd service (enables the management interface), then run virsh net-start default as root (enables networking). Create and install a Windows virtual machine in the Virtual Machine Manager application. I recommend Windows 10 or earlier because 11 needs extra steps. Once the VM is running, open the Virtual Machine menu, click on “Redirect USB Device”, then choose the device you want to configure. It will be detached from the host OS and passed through directly to the guest.

previously cracked services such as ANOM

Shit journalist. ANOM was created by the FBI as a honeypot trap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Trojan_Shield

Isn’t that just sparkling racism?

That’s nice, but also inaccurate in my case. I was at a point where I didn’t give a rat’s ass about my employment there. The most experienced veterans had quit because they weren’t getting a fair salary, and new personnel (hired at a starting salary of 1.5 times that of the veterans) were absolute morons that I and others had to train. Management was also doubled in size in my final year, but at the cost of moving even more people (the experienced ones) away from the production floor. The place was in a nosedive and I was ready to jump out and watch the flames from a distance.

So no, I wasn’t the voice of reason, I was the voice of not giving a fuck.

At my previous job, I was often criticised for pointing out the obvious weaknesses and failure points of new ideas. I always made sure to remind the project’s owner when it inevitably failed, and that they shouldn’t have ignored the doomsayer in the room. The best part is that they couldn’t fire me because I was a competent worker during a shortage caused by the pandemic.

Color management ensures accurate and identical color reproduction across display devices. It’s extremely important for artists and designers, and its absence in Wayland is a deal breaker for them.

I call it “insurance against corporate-sanctioned theft”

I was ready to have a rant about PHP. Well played.

Even worse is that there have been several episodes with that message. Many of the Geordi-focused episodes, and the woman who couldn’t live in normal gravity in DS9.

Basically I wanted her to take a long walk out an open airlock then have Picard reverse course and later apologize to Geordi for causing an in-flight human ingestion. She is not fit to be a physician if she can’t reconcile her views with another culture for the benefit of her patient. Great episode overall, but as always, I wish there had been some fallout later.

The barrel incident really made me fucking hate Crusher.

“Archiving legally purchased content as an insurance against corporate-sanctioned theft”?

You’re having a day-long freakout on the “OK Mate Wanker” community with a banner of beans and tagline of “Obviously satire, dozy wankers”. Take off the clown shoes, you’re bringin shame to the profession.

Qtile was my first daily driver tiling WM. It was a pain in the ass to install, but it’s damn near as extensible as DWM (since the config file is literally a python program). The only thing I hate about it is that you can’t reposition windows in the tiling layout by drag-and-drop.
