@dcon yeah, what else would you expect from boeing these days. Back when boeing delivered real quality their planes didn't care about pesky details like fuel in their tanks, they just kept flying.
or has "trying to fly without fuel" always been an antipattern for jet planes? Don't know, I am not into planes so much...

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)

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.

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. .

Sadly, no.

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... -

In the Netherlands, I have never ever seen a title of an English-language movie being translated in a cinema.
If it was ever done, they must have stopped doing that before the 1980s.For languages other than Dutch and English, titles may have been translated into Dutch in the past. These days, they usually use the English title.
I recall the Bud Spencer/Terence Hill movies usually had Dutch titles. But yeah, that would be seventies
