Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Ryujin]

UGH, 24H2 is utter trash. We're doing an InTune and Windows 11 rollout, and 24H2 breaks our VPN client.

I am a nice guy (have actually been called "sweet" by people for all my 48 years, which drives me mad), but for your client, if you were my employee, I'd tell the client that he can either follow your plan or not receive further support. I am a nice guy, but as soon as someone proves that they will be an obstacle just to be an obstacle, the niceness is replaced.

Our VPN seems fine with it, though we tend to go through a few versions in order to get the best performance out of it. This is complicated by our Network Security team wanting to have a single version for both Mac and Windows, which is unrealistic.

My personal computer is an Precision 3660 with a Nvidia A2000 video card and three monitors. 24H2 has killed my ability to RDP to my local network computers using the built in Remote Desktop app, so I had to go for a download from the MS Store. My first monitor behaves fine but my second craps out with anything requiring hardware acceleration. Even web browsers that have it enabled. There's artifacting in the video via RDP on that monitor as well. Unfortunately I had already deleted the rollback before I noticed these odd errors.

EDIT - I'm hoping that tomorrow's updates fix the issues, instead of just making them worse.

Oh, that behavior doesn't require a feud. My wife sees it all the time - she sees the client's animal, offers options, and the client refuses them all, and keep clamoring that the doctor needs to do something.

Broadly, a lot of people want magical solutions that work exactly they want, usually with no effort on their own part. The fact that such solutions don't exist is not really their problem.

Oh, I'm well aware that clients can be that way without a feud being involved, but for him it definitely started along with the feud. On the bright side I was able to close his previous call because, despite the fact that he wasn't responding to messages on it, his current call effectively indicates that the old issue is resolved.

Well, a Mama Snarf always told me... Snarf, if ya can't be a part of the solution, you should be a part of the problem. That's why yer momma always needs to get good and likkered up before them PTA meetings. Lets yer momma have a little extra fun when she's heckling all them boojie Karens goin' on 'bout readin' and fundin' BS like getting rid of that asbestos in yer class. Now, get yer mamma a few bags o' crystal and a keg o' Natty Light so she can go to parent-teacher night and tell yer kindergarten gestapo lady that she needs to shut her piehole.

It’s always good to be in the presence of other intelligent people, especially those with whom you have things in common.

As always, I strongly suspect some of you with the really strong opinions on what goes on a pizza and how it's served haven't actually had occasion to eat it in years, maybe decades.

But that's only because they just don't make pizza like they should!

You know, like the awesome pizza in the '70s. If it's not 1970s Pizza Hut pizza, it's not really pizza, is it?

As a note that feels similar but is actually more different than you might initially think... It is painfully obvious how some of the most vocal voices about the ingredients in a pizza have never actually cooked one. Yeah I get that your experience eating them has value (and you never, ever stop offering you advice as a food critic). But, well, have you ever seen The Menu? Sometimes it feels like a like a room full of Nicolas Hoults.
