All instances should be federated. There’s no reason to need more than one account for basic use.
If it came from an OEM then their tool that grabs driver/software updates. Lenovo Vantage for instance.
If it didn’t, then native apps that perform a similar task. Intel has one for their software/drivers, and another that’s only for their gpu. GeForce experience is another for their gpu cards. Likely others.
Powertoys. So many little apps that make things easier.
Monitor .inf files. I usually don’t notice an improvement but I like seeing my monitor in device manager instead of “Generic”
I used to say “Greenshot” but win11’s built in screenshot capture is good enough.
I go to the office website and make a PWA out of it. Makes it easy to open documents in their free web interface versions of office.

Bitwarden or whatever password manager you use if not Edge.
It depends.
I think 1 home per adult is fine, for instance.
I also think some places are designed to be short term rentals and have a heavy tourist local economy.
I personally would like to tie some extra taxes to people that own more than one home.
I’m thinking of buying a property near a lakeside town. Ideally it would be a townhouse or have 2-3 separate houses or cabins on the property; one for me and my SO to live in 2/3rds of year, the others for rentals or guests.
Does that make me an asshole?

Saw this idea in Taiwan about a decade ago, but it was a more proprietary setup. The batteries were cylinders with a handle on the end. They locked into place in the charging shelf so no cabinets were needed. Full size scooters needed 2 batteries.
Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy"

Ouch. There’s also a stat somewhere that shows women blast their acl more than men for some reason. Sucks.
Contracts aren’t set in stone. Not only are those contracts modified before they are accepted by both parties, it’s difficult to limit liability when negligence is involved. CS is at worst going to be defending against those, at best defending against people dumping them ahead of schedule against their contracted term length.

How to make an old USB brother laser printer wireless?
I have an old Brother laser printer that's been doing fine and doesn't need to be replaced, but it only supports USB. Is there a device besides an old computer/laptop that would make it a shared wireless printer that supports windows machines well? I'm pretty sure i could come up with something myself, but i would prefer an off-the-shelf solution that handles updates and bugs without needing any attention from me.
Edit: Raspberry Pi 5 ordered!
Linux is still not ready to replace Windows
Windows 10 EoL is fast approaching, so I thought I’d give Linux a try on some equipment that won’t be able to upgrade to Windows 11. I wanted to see if I will be able to recommend an option to anyone that asks me what they should do with their old PC.
Many years ago I switched to Gentoo Linux to get through collage. I was very anti-MS at the time. I also currently interact with Linux systems regularly although they don’t have a DE and aren’t for general workstation use.
Ubuntu: easy install. Working desktop. Had issues with getting GPU drivers. App Store had apps that would install but not work. The App Store itself kept failing to update itself with an error that it was still running. It couldn’t clear this hurdle after a reboot so I finally killed the process and manually updated from terminal. Overall, can’t recommend this to a normal user.
Mint: easy install. Switching to nvidia drivers worked without issue. App Store had issues with installing some apps due to missing dependencies that it couldn’t install. Some popular apps would install but wouldn’t run. Shutting the laptop closed results in a prompt to shutdown, but never really shuts off. Update process asks me to pick a fast source (why can’t it do this itself?)
Both: installing apps outside of their respective stores is an adventure in terminal instead of a GUI double-click. Secure boot issues. Constant prompt for password instead of a simple PIN or other form of identity verification.
Search results for basic operations require understanding that what works for Ubuntu might not work for Mint.
While I personally could work with either, I don’t see Linux taking any market share from MS or Apple when windows 10 is retired.

How to work with someone that regularly arrives as the wrong answer?
I work with a person that went presented with a problem, works through it and arrives at the wrong solution. When I have them show me the steps they took, it seems like they interpret things incorrectly. This isn't a language barrier, and it's not like they aren't reading what someone wrote.
For example, they are working on a product, and needed to wait until the intended recipients of the product were notified by an email that they were going to get it. the person that sent the email to the recipients then forwarded that notification email to this person and said "go ahead and send this to them."
Most people would understand that they are being asked to send the product out. It's a regular process for them.
So he resent the email. He also sent the product, but I'm having a hard time understanding why he thought he was supposed to re-send the email.
I've tried breaking tasks down into smaller steps, writing out the tasks, post-mortem discussion when something doesn't go as planned. What other training or management tasks can I take? Or have I arrived at the "herding kittens" meme?
I know nothing about e-bikes. Which should I get?
I’d like to start looking for an e-bike. The primary goal is something off-road capable. I’m thinking simple trails and sand.
The next goal would be portable: if it can break down a little bit so that I could get two inside my small SUV instead of on a bike rack that would be ideal.
Edit: for those stating to look at my local bike shop, the closest is 1.5 hrs away and is Trek-only. There are a few other dealers also around 1.hrs away.

Is the Nvidia GPU Activity monitor app inaccurate?
I have a laptop with both a dGPU and iGPU. when gaming i see the nvidia dGPU in use but the Activity Monitor remains "grey". If i open the app i see it lists the game is using the dGPU. At some point the Activity Monitor will switch from grey to colored to properly indicate that the dGPU is in use.
Later, after I close the game the Activity Monitor will remain lit up, even though it's correctly showing no programs using the dGPU.
Should i just accept that this app is pretty awful?
Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL?
Next year Windows 10 goes End of Life. Microsoft will undoubtedly push windows 11 hard, but a lot of machines won’t support it leading to a few economic points of interest:
The demand for new machines will be high, driving up cost.
The supply of unsupported machines will be high, driving down the used market.
Are you all ready?
