are they actually managing to keep the insane split between "teams" and "teams (the other one)" while still kicking people off one of them? so is there a "teams (the third one actually)" now?

im mainly an AWS dude but have been doing some Azure poo poo recently. its funny how Azure has features that are the same AWS only they made it more annoying. AWS has SSM Session Manager for in-browser SSH access to VMs. you click butan and poof it just works. on Azure you have Bastion which does the same but you need to setup a whole VNET and subnet for it and also it costs money. AWS has CloudShell which gives you an in-browser shell session in your user context with AWS CLI available to do things. you click the butan and bam there's your shell. on Azure you have Cloud Shell which is the same however you need to setup a storage account and file share first for it to work which is just annoying. so yeah idk AWS seems to do things in a very straightforward manner while Azure adds all these extra things. ofc at the end of the day they're both bad, YOSPOS bithc the end

that was kind of in jest, but generally a chromebook with the same specs as a windows laptop will be significantly cheaper sometimes you can get a really great deal, i have a 4K OLED samsung chromebook with 16 gb ram, a 512 gb ssd, and an i5. it was about $500 iirc of course the catch is that you can't easily run something other than chrome os, but it's certainly possible

yeah i got a couple of older ones to play around with before that one (an asus c302 for me and a samsung chromebook pro v2 for mrs) and i have windows installed on one of them lol i think the route i used to do it was pretty interesting too, windows2go on microsd -> dd to the emmc. you do have to flash coreboot first though, but that's easy enough to undo if you want (assuming the initial flash didn't fail or something that is) e: but the newer models require some dumb google usb dongle to do that, though. i can't even get the oled samsung (galaxy chromebook) to boot linux from external media ![]() Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Feb 10, 2023 |

I have a cheap chromebook and I would consider buying a more expensive one but I don't think that they necessarily compare that favorably pricewise anymore compared to just buying a normal laptop if you don't want chrome os. Especially, you have to buy a fairly expensive one to get decent amount of ram/ssd and I think the ram is soldered on a lot of them (you might be able to replace the ssd on some). mystes fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Feb 10, 2023 |

Apparently you can replace the ssd but you need to use a tool to create a special recovery boot image or something. mystes fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Feb 10, 2023 |

mystes posted:I was just thinking about that because I was eying this dumb deal a few days ago for a "gaming chromebook" (apparently they're inexplicably pushing that now but they have no discrete gpus so presumably you could only use them for streaming game services) for $450 with these bizarre specs: lol bizarre indeed. chromebook specs are weird af, it definitely seems like most of them are overpowered for what they do it kinda sucks tbh. i was fine with that when all you needed to do to open it up was flash coreboot, but you need to do a bunch of bullshit on the newer ones: https://wiki.mrchromebox.tech/Firmware_Write_Protect i haven't really looked into it much since figuring out i needed a special cable or whatever a "suzy-q" is though Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Feb 10, 2023 |

my work laptop had trend micro pop up and say it caught a virus so i was unironically like sweet, time to spend a half hour on call with tech support i knew theyd be like "ehhhh idk it caught it but i can set it to scan again" and i was like "ok thanks please do" but it was a good excuse to not work imo

burning swine posted:not 100% on this but I'm pretty sure that they don't do any testing of teams running on non-domain workstations as a standalone. For me teams hasn't been able to remember a logged in state or start without errors since at least 2020 this makes a lot of sense, cause it kinda works on the work laptop. when im trying to log on teams with a personal account it just completely shits the bed also very often it will show the other side as a thumbnail, but not big. the big window will always be black or grey until i minimize or alt-tab, then i get a nice thumbnail. tbh its just very badly made overall
