  @mlnews said in Miscellaneous Tech News: European Commission to challenge Apple tax bill verdict The European Commission plans to appeal against a ruling that Apple does not have to pay 13bn euros (£11.6bn) in back taxes to Ireland. The EU's General Court had ruled in July there was no evidence Apple had broken any rules on tax paid there. Ireland never disputed the arrangement but the European Commission, which brought the case, argued it enabled Apple to avoid taxes on EU revenues. The EU said paying the correct amount of tax was "a top priority". In 2016, a court ruled that Apple had indeed been given illegal tax breaks by Dublin - but this was overturned in July 2020. Yeah, after Ireland sued the EU for tax fraud. It turns out it was the EU, not Apple, that was scamming the system and attempting to collect undue taxes!

WTF? You quoted the part about Ubiquiti. No UniFi or EdgeMax gear has auto updates. It is not for consumers. Unifi offers it now.

  @Dashrender said in Security breached in millions of devices...: @scottalanmiller said in Security breached in millions of devices...: @jkaspersen said in Security breached in millions of devices...: do they care if the local water supply shut down , or the electricity get shut off... Care? Sure. Responsible for? No. We can only deal with our own devices and make good decisions about the vendors and approaches that we use. Which it seems almost no one actually does. The less than 1% IT pros out there who care don't even make a dent. A dent is not our concern, though. Only our own environments. We don't need to make a dent, that's nice and all, but if we focus on ourselves, that our neighbours get hacked isn't our problem.

  @pay56 said in How to Play Wii Games on Ubuntu Linux with Dolphin: Can I play Wii games and Gamecube games if I install the Dolphin Emulator? Did someone try this with this emulator to play games from these 2 console games? I have found the games that I want to play and now I'm confused is this emulator will support them, I'm new at this so any new advice would be nice. It's specific purpose is Wii games, so yes, that's the idea. And GC as well.

  @scottalanmiller said in Nextcloud Talk 8: @JasGot said in Nextcloud Talk 8: Is this normal in other VC applications? Clicking off the page will end the call? Leaving a web page ends the app in that page? Yes, it's 100% universal. Just how web works. It didn't occur to me until I read your remark that they meant browsing to another url in the same browser tab. When I read it, I thought they meant clicking to another application running on my computer. It all makes more sense now.

  Bottom line... using Mitnick in this way, especially adding him to the board... is KnowBe4's way of telling me how they view themselves. It's their warning, in a way. A way of expressing who their target audience is. Just like did with him. They knew that their primary audience wasn't IT pros, but buyers looking for big names and flashy acts on stage rather than technical know how and expertise. That both of them use Mitnick in the same way is very telling.

  I just updated my Nextcloud this morning, and was able to get it going with the OnlyOffice Document server and both of them on the same system... Just used the Install guide for OnlyOffice Document server here: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/Docker-DocumentServer and some googling for some other errors. Performance is not bad at all.

  @Dashrender said in Veeam Company Announcement: @scottalanmiller said in Veeam Company Announcement: @StorageNinja said in Veeam Company Announcement: Smart watch leaders are apple and samsung. Samsung isn't in the big three. Xiami is number one, Apple number two. Xiami is the largest wearables maker in the world. So big that they don't just make their own processors with their own fab, but they use their own architecture! And they are sold everywhere but the US (or at least I've never seen that brand at any retail location I've been to) They are definitely sold in the US. We buy them here (they are cheap and resilient.) I don't see them in stores too often, but like on Amazon and stuff they are just a normal item, not imported specially or anything. They are widely available. I like them for travelers because they are cheaper than average, but work well and have the best battery lives (often 1.5 months on a charge!) So you aren't likely to get it stolen, or have charging issues, and if they break just buy another.

LP is fully a part of LogMeIn's company, I would expect nothing less - unless there was also an announcement of LMI spinning LP back into it's own company or being sold to someone else. Right, when you buy a company, you get all of it unless otherwise stated.

  Is there a reason that you are looking into Awk? Awk is a programming language that used to be popular for extension text processing in conjunction with BASH. But in the last decades, its use has fallen away and that is why you won't find examples of it. It's only used for very basic things now. Languages like Perl and Python supplanted it being easier to use, better known, more portable, and vastly more powerful. Awk is really a legacy tool today.

  @Dashrender said in PDQ Drops Inventory (Deploy) Agent: @coliver said in PDQ Drops Inventory (Deploy) Agent: @warren-stanley said in PDQ Drops Inventory (Deploy) Agent: @coliver from memory it allowed endpoint status display, along with connection when outside the corporate network for running commands and application management. It was part of the subscription and didn't require any other additional setup - so was nice in theory. Ah. Salt and Ansible can do similar things but would require some backend work. Salt has an agent, right? Yes, and Ansible can be setup in a Pull configuration so it can act like it has an Agent as well.

  From her past posts, I'm assuming it's going to be something aligning with open compute and taking things like how Facebook designed their racks/servers into account. Like here: https://twitter.com/jessfraz/status/1106336080956018689?lang=en

  @Dashrender said in Integrating OnlyOffice with NextCloud: @JaredBusch said in Integrating OnlyOffice with NextCloud: @JaredBusch said in Integrating OnlyOffice with NextCloud: I just did this with Nextcloud 17.0.1 and OnlyOffice 5.4.2, running on separate Debian 10 instances. both NC and OO are running certbot themselves because bad planning. i have 60 days until NC renews and 90 until OO renews to look at WTF I did here and clean it up. Why is that bad planning? Because things were rush/done without full planning for what was needed to make things happen correctly. That was not my thing. But the thing I'm presented with now. I can fix it. Just annoying.

  @Danp said in When Can We Fork a Topic: @scottalanmiller Did it move as expected or did it disappear into the netherworld? So many posts in the thread that it went to, I gave up trying to find it. I'm assuming that it is there. I'll test this more when we have a smaller fork to send it to.
