RE: Care to explain your avatar?
@Tsaukpaetra my avatar is carefully chosen to capture the essence of the first letter of my name. I think it works rather well, considering the effort I put into it.

RE: I, ChatGPT
@BernieTheBernie Well, makes sense: have ChatGPT generate your homework into perfect English, and have it google-translated into broken German so that it still resembles a legitimate homeworking assignment. win-win.

RE: We shouldn't let people get used to the idea that software fails
@ben_lubar did you try to prove a point about tech is crap? If so, I couldn't hear it, but I can clearly see it.

RE: The absolute state of faxing in 2020
@remi years ago when you bought a car you had to go to the post office to transfer ownership. Either party could do that, as long as you had the ownership papers and the proper form with a signature of "the other party".
If you ended up at the post office without the signature they would tell you the equivalent of "the computer says no". All you had to do was turn around, find a pen, sign the form, get back in the queue, and everything was OK.
No, you were not allowed to sign at the counter. Yes, apparently it was fine if they could see you sign it at the other side of the post office. -

RE: Windows calculator can only count to 999
@Tsaukpaetra I had the reverse with a banking app. When transfering money it used 2 fields to enter the amount, one for euros, one for cents. Of course it concatenated the two using a comma (it being Dutch), and subsequently parsed it using the system setting (for which I had set the decimal separator to a dot, to keep me sane), and thus it tried to have me transfer the amount I wanted x100. Luckily I caught it on the verification screen.
Made a bug report at the bank, got a call from the app developer, and in the end they put the blame on me "Yes, but you use non default windows settings.". Yes, I applied the virtual clue-bat at that remark.

RE: I think I'm creating an WTF of my own
@sockpuppet7 have you considered universal packages? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/artifacts/quickstarts/universal-packages?view=azure-devops
After all, why bother with the well known wtf-ery of npm, when you can use the universally unknown wtf-ery of universal packages. -
RE: I, ChatGPT

SSH doesn't have any method of signing certificates or even certificates at all.
it is (or at least openssh does). The first duck hit for signing ssh key gave me this hashicorp link, but we are using it also in our environment (without hashicorp)

@Tsaukpaetra you mean the fact that windows rather ate the music and videos folders than that it dare touch the cheese buns?

RE: Searching in shops across 🇪🇺
@Bulb My method for PC things is usually: first try to find the model I need through a tech website that also has price info on all Dutch/B*****n shops (https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/) And then an additional search on the webs for the exact model&type. Usually I end up with the Dutch shop anyway, due to shipping costs. Not aware of any general non-shit EU-spanning (curated) site.

Amazon deserves to die in a fire for being such a horrible mess of a UI, a chinesium delivery pipeline and full of scammers.
QFT. Nothing to add to the discussion, I just felt a need to agree loudly in a random forum.

Elevate individual commands within cmd or Powershell rather than the whole session?
Some things (e.g. installers invoked by winget) can ask to elevate themselves already, although it may be that winget launches them in "Ask for elevation" mode. Come to think of it, maybe that's all this "new" sudo feature does
Read the article? No, why would I ever do a thing like that?
The usual workflow in linux is that you invoke sudo (or su, or gksu), and that invokes the target process with elevated privileges
In windows, the impression I get is that you first start the target process with normal privileges, and then the target process invokes some API to trigger the privilege elevation dialog to elevate privileges in the already-running process.I've been using gsudo for a while on Windows now. Useful if you are in a regular prompt and need to run something with admin permissions.

RE: Visual Basic for Quantum Computers
@dkf true, but if it exceeds more than 4 weeks the "other" country wants a piece of tax as well (or so I have heard). And the company probably doesn't want me to "spend" those weeks on a workation so they can decide. .

@Zecc I think (or rather, hope) that's the point they were trying to make:

on vacationat a vacation destination, instead of the office.It's just marketing speak for WFH.
Sadly, no.
I'm allowed to WFH half the time, but I'm not allowed to do that from a different country (for tax reasons). And ymmv, but living in , my holiday destination is guaranteed to be in a different country . -

@Tsaukpaetra said in I, ChatGPT:
They'll feel like they're talking to a "real" person that actually understands. Until realization settles in.
Would you prefer an AI prone to confabulation that doesn't understand, or a peon on minimum wage who doesn't understand?
It remains to be seen, but I feel like the customer will be enthusiastic. At least the vast swaths that don't actually need real support.
I'm not sure how often you contact enterprise level support, but when I need to pass the tier-0 support first, then for sure would prefer the AI experience.
Come to think of it (and remembering discussions with colleagues), it'll probably increase the number of support calls. Currently I usually don't even try, as wrangling past tier-0 is just too painful...
