Error wizard only updates leads us right into issues of insecure drivers being left in place because they aren’t causing errors. Or what if the drivers originally installed were engineering drivers, and an update was to correct them? Never going to hit because it never errored.

The reality is, the current solution works. Is it infallible? No, of course not. But this is like getting mad at FexEx because they didn’t confirm the package Amazon sent you was the actual item you ordered.

So you’d like to go back to the old days where users install their devices with a third party installer every time they get a new hardware item, require providing drivers during install, and never update those drivers?

Why wouldn’t it be up to the driver provider to vet the drivers being provided?

There are a few ways I can think of, such as coming from the factory with en engineering firmware, or a third party (manufacturer) tool pushing the update.

There’s also the question of how M$ would have even got the engineering firmware to begin with. If it did indeed get released through windows update, was it the manufacturer that provided it? M$ can’t really be expected to vet every driver they are provided.

We don’t actually know that’s the case though.

The irony of this comment is painful.

I’ve got no dog in this race, but they’re bugs my dude. Even then, it’s quite clear later on this isn’t meant to be a modern setting, it’s definitely medieval. This is like screen grabbing the first shot of Robin Hood and saying it’s in a forest so it must not take place in medieval times.

But there is. All the reasons people were saying there was no way the last director could have doctored the previous report to make Trump look bad, are the same reasons this director couldn’t doctor the report to make him look less bad.

How soft? Are we talking skittle, starburst, sour patch, or jello?

While I get the sentiment, you can’t really fit a tablet in most pockets. While a tri fold phone would fit just fine.

This isn’t for situations where a more powerful device is needed. Power doesn’t matter when watching a video, or reading a book, or scrolling the internet. Sometimes you just need more screen.

I may be an outlier on Lemmy, but I explicitly want a decent trifold device. Specifically for the situations I listed. I’m not looking to use the tablet “mode” for performance hungry tasks, I just want more screen sometimes.

Because he’s an idiot and assumed the next director can make the change.

I’ll reply the same way I do to the scam attempts: Do it bitch.

Everyone in the department has been pretty clear that the director has no real way to influence the numbers. I suppose they could just release a fake document, but that wouldn’t be very tenable in the long term.
