Been switching monitors with Nvdidia card last few years (edit: yeah, laptop. So two monitors setup), every single one is plug and play. What am I doing wrong?

Actually, stop telling people to "deal with" Windows (okay, this one is pretty weak). Windows is either supposed to be easily navigable without going through a dozen of buttons-tabs-subwindows, ot it's not the right thing for most people

Either dumb it down, or don't expect people to use it

Damn, I really hoped nothing else does this. Sorry, it really makes one angry

At fucking everything. I don't find my WiFi suddenly not working until I reboot it, reset all settings, dig out the password and connect anew again

We are humans, so the "men/women are more emotional" view can go to hell. And since mysogynism does exist, this view can spread by any uneducated fool of any gender, and often is

Ubuntu like 10 years ago, drop to terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F5 or something), vlc video.mp4 Aand it started playing it with ASCII graphics. Magic

But picking up pitchforks- uhm, guns- and fighting back is somehow hard, as I read in another thread. Niice

Almost. Application Binary Interface

Nice catch, I am annoyed as fuck with access approval even as a dev. But, since I am advocating for moving financial analysis to using databases instead of spreadsheets, it becomes my problem, so: me makes a separate db for this very purpose, and the access is given to any and all accountants. Security guys are welcome to join the dev process of preparing the db and data flows that write from other sources into it, so that financial guys have up-to-date state of data: want restrictions - go ahead and tell them they don't need this and that

No, I will give them a separate one, and when they make a mess out of it, I'll make it known, then fix it without any hurry, then they make another kind of mess, I make it known, fix it with no hurry, then... at some point either they learn (because they make efforts or because get told to by superior management), or I reach the conclusion that working here isn't worth it and move on

Why not use database, actually. I am yet to see anything related to money that is not a rabbit hole of wildly different things interacting by wildly unexpected logic. Ffs, is writing esoteric formulae in a spreadsheet really easier than learning some SQL dialect with a few pretty advanced and specific features?
