has anyone posted that accuweather #windows #error screen yet? The server(s?) providing some of the weather maps apparently have a bad case of either a dead/dying disk or fikesystem corruption. 'The file or directory C: is corrupt and unreadable' on a classic box looks OK.

Is there a #Windows equivalent of #nmap? I know nmap can be downloaded for Windows, but I'd like to avoid suggesting downloading something. -

@null The critique that it looks like something plastic to appeal to children is spot-on. Agreed that it looks less vomit-inducing when tweaked. I've done this several times. There are additional issues. The "leave no cycles to do actual work" attitude. The "fix it yourself or don't bug us about it" attitude. The shit apps that crash, won't open, can't open their own files, or lose your data.
I've said it before and I still stand by it: If #KDE was the only #Linux DE I'd return to #Windows. -

Kollege aus anderer Fachabteilung behauptete am gestrigen Tage, dass sie kein Problem damit hätten eine PDF-Datei auszudrucken. Man beachte bitte die Tätigkeit! Heute wiederum meldet sich anderer Kollege aus genau der gleichen Fachabteilung und möchte erfragen wo denn die AUSGEDRUCKTEN Dokumente verbleiben. Fernab davon, dass die BATCH-Routine auf dem Server (Ich hasse #Windows!) aufgrund eines Updates nicht mehr funktioniert hat: War es nicht so, dass man angeblich kein Problem mit dem Druck als eigene Tätigkeit hatte? Nun ja, die Antwort war: "Ich bin doch nur Sachbearbeiter!"
Auf mein Angebot zu helfen und mit Wissen zu unterstützen: "Nein, ich will nicht mehr wissen. Brauche ich nicht!" Jau, so kann man natürlich Kompetenzen aufbauen. #IT-Alltag #Unsinn #Fragendes-Gesicht -

Honest question. How does one test something on #windows if one does not have #windows?
Seems obvious, but does one actually have to purchase windows to ensure that their app works on it?
Same goes for Mac...?
Those are pretty hefty buy-ins for a random bloke trying to make cross-compat apps...

I'll start this post for tracking progress about my test for an appropriate linux distro for SHE.
Follow this conversation for more posts!
Requirement: easy to use, well supported, DE recalling #windows, rolling release.

Well, it's kind of more clear to me that I have to migrate my private servers to another more open base. For now I'm using an Intel NUC and I don't like this any longer being based on #Ubuntu-14.04. Time for a change to #Hyperbola. No #systemd, more flexibility. Also I think that a APU2C4 systemboard from #PC-Engines could be enough.
Being honest: I don't believe that #Ubuntu getting back to old positions and I don't need a unixoid copy of #Windows. #Time-for-Change #Free-and-Libre #GNU-Linux -

@david_ross also, the stubborn #EcoWarrior part of my psyche believes that if Skype worked on WindowsXP, any #VoIP app that won't work on this PC is bloated and needs serious pruning. Not wanting to have to constantly upgrade to run bloated software is a major reason why I moved from #Windows to #GNU-Linux

@kame Grundsätzlich einverstanden, aber "out-of-the-box" impliziert den Vergleich zu einer meiner Erachtens falschen Vorgehensweise. Auch unter #Windows funktioniert das eben nicht immer, egal welche Version. Oftmals wird der Eingriff benötigt und wenn ich dann sehe was man derweil so unter #Windows-10 für Verrenkungen veranstaltet und welche Tipps Manche geben muss ich schmunzeln: Dann wäre die Verwendung von #GNU-Linux auch keine große Sache. Und sofern der Vergleich mit dem Mechaniker dann passend wäre: Dann müsste man jedes Programm erneut kompilieren und umgehend den Quelltext lesen können.
Bei der Argumentation "Beschäftigt euch mit dem System!" geht es ja nur darum, dass der Anwender seine ureigenen Interessen vertritt und nutzt. -

@ignitionigel good luck with that ;) It's been so long since I knew anyone who used #Windows and *not* webmail, I have no idea what to suggest (other than Thunderbird)

@hikerus Okay, was war jetzt konkret das Argument nochmals? Es geht auch nicht um "Power-User" sondern schlicht auch um die Verhaltensweisen dahinter. #Windows wird beispielsweise wieder "schlecht" durch das komplett restriktive Verhalten des "Unternehmens" dahinter, also Firma "Winzigweich". Und #Firefox schlicht und ergreifend durch den Bruch idealistischer Grundsätze seitens #Mozilla. @thori -

@thori Nur bedingt besser. Natürlich ist #Firefox kein SCHLECHTER Browser, ebenso wie #Windows kein durchweg SCHLECHTES System ist. Das Problem sind die vielen kleinen und großen Details, die das Ganze dann wieder umdrehen und zu einem faden Brei verderben. Das finde ich schade, gerade weil #Mozilla es doch besser könnte. -

There was an issue on our NAS at work, it couldn't copy as backup files with path+name over 255 chars, so after some cmd and with regexp i was able to find the problematic folders...apparently my colleagues loves do folder inception with long names...
But main fault is still #windows of course... -

Every day, we get people whose systems are sufficiently changed by #Windows updates and the agency's constant configuration change pushes that #Bitlocker decides to deny access to the drive. It doesn't make me confident in the stability of #Win10 or the safety of BL. -
