Seriously, personal documents? What in the ever loving fuck. Jeez, no I don't want to play your game so bad I need to prove it with a passport.

Have you never worked in corporate IT or something? Of course we should blame Crowdstrike, that way we don't get a sev 1 on our scorecard.

Just buy a 20TB HDD or two and stock up on every console game up to PS3

Yeah, willing to give them a second chance, but very much want this to be addressed first.

My dude, welcome to the late 90s.

God dammit I'll kill you all, the word is fewer, there are fewer of them here.

You wouldn't download a bicycle would you?

Hahahaha, you're kidding right? I shit you not, I've literally seen a single line change almost cost a company £150MM during testing because "we need to test in prod because the guy we need to run the test hasn't got access to the QA environment"

Best part was the actual change, there was a bug where a number that should've been divided by 100 was being multiplied by 100, the dev somehow managed to implement the fix in such a way that the number was multiplied by a further 100.

VLC should sort you for video. It's been said before, but word docs may trip you up. Try libreoffice, if that's not working for you and you want to stick with Linux you've got a few options:

Office 365 online - might be controversial, but IMO if that's the only thing keeping you back at least it's not windows and office

Google docs - another viable option

Windows VM running under Linux just for office.

Maybe Valve should take another crack at the console market.

How many dev teams have a kernel dev on them?

Oh he reached out to them, agreed to send it and their graphics card (that they didn't use for the testing) back to them and then ~~sold~~ auctioned it off.
