Quote: So what can we do? Reach out to all of our vendors and ask them to do better. They need to ensure that key devices are auto updating and self correcting. They need to do a better job in understanding that merely installing updates won’t work if they cause headaches and side effects that block key issues like printing.
That's the suggestion?

Tech workers are set on long-term remote working, a new survey of industry employees suggest. But employers are concerned about what it means for team work. The good news: no commute. The bad news: Zoom calls

It probably means an improvement in productivity overall.
But then I'd say that, wouldn't I, looking at things from somewhere on the spectrum.

Mmm...
Better yet, document it in advanced and it won't be a bug, it will be a feature

DOS Subsystem for Linux integrates a real Linux environment into MS-DOS systems, allowing users to make use of both DOS and Linux applications from the DOS command prompt. "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents..."

My only question is: "why?"
What would this odd combo give me that a command-line installation of Linux (NO GUI installed) wouldn't give me?

Are you sure about that? Maybe your definition of "save" and mine differ a bit.
Let's see how many posts about problems due to this you post in the future...

I meant that you don't need two machines/VMs - one for DOS, one for Linux. But yeah, that was scraping the bottom of the justification barrel.

A "design flaw" in the Microsoft Autodiscover protocol was subject to an investigation by researchers who found they were able to harvest domain credentials. They didn't say _what_ it would autodiscover, did they?
