@black3dynamite it's impossible if you don't have $200k to.piss away.

This is the Tesla model 3 which is there affordable model.

I thought there was a really long line to get those. And only the standard battery is available anytime soon from what I've read. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have one, but I prefer not having a car payment.

car payments are the devil

Not as awesome having that saddle on your back as you expected?

It's different. and the kicker is I'm paying x amount of money every month - for car insurance, and car payment - for it to sit 5-12 days at a time and I dont get to drive it! lol!

Why don't you get to drive it?

because I drive a work vehicle to and from work and around for work - and I usually have nothing going on to where I have to drive it- sometimes I just drive it to drive

Rent it out on Turo

Man, you see the abuse rentals get? sure, they have to have their own insurance or some shit - or you have to have special renters insurance, but I doubt that covers spilled icecream, etc, etc, etc.. It's one thing for Avis to go after a customer, it's another for you to do it.

Though - air BNB works under this principal.... and people are still renting out homes.. so not all renters are bad... but I'd say it's a lot easier to avoid issues like - other drivers, road hazzards, etc in a home than it is in a car.

HAHA that was my first thought too! I would NEVER volunteer my car for that crap. (Well...that and the service is not even near available for my area, after all Pierre South Dakota only has ~13k people.)

@Dashrender I wish I knew, I was so taken aback by the whole ordeal that I was literally speechless for a good minute.
I mean talk about a random and unexpected spout of bulls**t.
And she went on to say that I am not to download third party software for use in my script. Didn't think Chocolatey qualified, especially since I can very easily put a line at the end of the script to remove it.
(Chocolatey just didn't have the software we needed, understandably and I really didn't expect it to, it was just awesome discovering it for the first time. This was very recent too, maybe over a month ago.)

@black3dynamite I freaking love chocolatey.

Not to get off on a rant, but I was actually accused by my boss of plagiarism in my script.
I had a small commented out section from Chocolatey because I decided not to use it. My boss checked out all 300 lines of my Powershell script and told me why did I copy my script from Chocolatey.
Lmao...I hand wrote the entire damn thing, she read my commented out section (three lines) from chocolatey, checked out the website for probably 2 seconds and determined I used a script on their site.
Gee, didn't know their site has scripts for completely installing all the software we need to create a web server.

Hell I don't even think Chocolatey has scripts available for downloading.
It was a mess and really f*cked up.
Yay...being the new guy of (2 months at the time) three months.

@travisdh1 said in Starting a job search:

I used ZipRecruiter. It took me a bit, but finally found something that pays reasonably well. Once you get your information plugged in, applying is really quick and easy. A lot less work than any of the other sites.

That's my favorite.
Another great one is Indeed. It's simple, easy to use and makes applying easy (when applicable lol)

Dailywire.com Ben Shapiro. lol

@Oksana That's really awesome!

@Dashrender I haven't bought anything with a "home" license in a very long time. You are right. I need to start looking again. My current laptop is almost 6 years old.

Even an OEM Pro license probably doesn't add more than $120 to the machine, and likely less.

But a good video card, wheeeeeeeeeeeeew. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

@Dashrender Haha no doubt...c'mon now, Windows isn't all that much.
Especially now that you can grab keys from like...what's that site? Keys.com or some crap. Sure it's fishy, but I've had a few friends claim the sites work well.
(Disclaimer, I wouldn't try those cheap key sort of sites, you could end up spending more in the long run.)

Weeeeeeeeeeell, I mean at least car payments make sense. Now insurance, I think that should be significantly cheaper.
Though then we wouldn't have insurance companies...hrmmmmm

@JaredBusch I never hear about OpenSuse, how do you all feel about that OS?
Ever use it for a while?

@scottalanmiller

amazing tech, and works near-identical but due to anti cheat engines being in nature closed and deep-rooted in windows kernel many games won't work if they utilize and anti-cheat

Ohhhhh...yeah that's a problem lol

@Dashrender Man, that's the ONLY one I haven't played...But I've heard nothing but great things about it.

Ugh nowadays though, I'm terrible at RTS games, I just overthink things, then boom the enemy is at my doorstep.

@Dashrender The original?

@RojoLoco Yeah I was using that for a while, actually I have the plugin active on this very machine now (disabled for this site, as is uBlock Origin).
But I actually find Bing to work very well lol. HOWEVER, there was a situation where I was desperately searching for an answer to a...Web Administration script question I was working on, I turned to Google and actually found an answer. Of course I ended up not using the info from that site, but still lol.

@RojoLoco I've divorced Google completely. OH except my Pixel XL 2, but that's a money issue.

@scottalanmiller said in WPS Office 2019:

This is the native office application in Deepin, so we see it fairly often. It seems pretty decent, but we normally remove it and replace with LibreOffice because we are an ODT native format company. But WPS, along with OnlyOffice, seem like really solid options.

ODT? OnlyOffice?
I have some Binging to do. No...no Googling still sounds better. I'll have to Bing that! ok, ok that's better. Lol

ODT, the short name for the Open Document format as pioneered by OpenOffice / LibreOffice.

OnlyOffice, who is active here in ML, is more of a direct MS Office competitor. OnlyOffice and LibreOffice are the two that integrate into NextCloud for live, online, shared editing. On Linux, LibreOffice is the strongest ODT tool set. OnlyOffice is probably the strongest MS Office files editor. And WPS is the up and comer, but looking pretty good, but is not open source. The old K Office suite still exists, to some degree, as Calligra and is ODT native and okay.

Those four make up the Linux office suite landscape.

Wow! Thank you for the explanation, extremely helpful

@scottalanmiller Oh wow, that's badass.

Ugh, what about drivers though...I had a hell of a time installing nvidia drivers. I have a GTX 1070 in my HP Omen laptop, with a Gen 7 i7 something

Ok so I'm not on the hunt to replace Office 2019.
I stumbled across https://blog.wps.com/kingsoft-launches-wps-office-2019/.

Has anyone used this for Linux before?
How does it compare in terms of functionality and features?

Thank you

@black3dynamite Oh yeah, I'd imagine that's way past depreciation.
All you need is RSAT and Server Manager. Or heck Powershell I suppose
