92% of Indian knowledge workers use AI in the workplace, finds Microsoft and LinkedIn 2024 Work Trend IndexMumbai, May 16, 2024: Microsoft and LinkedIn today released the India findings of the 2024 Work Trend Index on the state of AI at work. The report titled, “AI at work is here. Now comes the hard part” shows how, in just one year, AI is influencing the way people work, lead and hire. The report spotlights employees’ strong desire for AI integration in the workplace, the opportunities it creates for career growth, and the emergence of AI power users[1] in the future of work.
Microsoft and LinkedIn partnered for the first time for the fourth Work Trend Index to provide a comprehensive view of how AI is shaping work. The findings are based on a survey of 31,000 people in 31 countries, labor and hiring trends on LinkedIn, trillions of Microsoft 365 productivity signals and research with Fortune 500 customers.

Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next yearndroid's open nature set it apart from the iPhone as the era of touchscreen smartphones began nearly two decades ago. Little by little, Google has traded some of that openness for security, and its next security initiative could make the biggest concessions yet in the name of blocking bad apps. Google has announced plans to begin verifying the identities of all Android app developers, and not just those publishing on the Play Store. Google intends to verify developer identities no matter where they offer their content, and apps without verification won't work on most Android devices in the coming years.
Google used to do very little curation of the Play Store (or Android Market, if you go back far enough), but it has long sought to improve the platform's reputation as being less secure than the Apple App Store. Years ago, you could publish actual exploits in the official store to gain root access on phones, but now there are multiple reviews and detection mechanisms to reduce the prevalence of malware and banned content. While the Play Store is still not perfect, Google claims apps sideloaded from outside its store are 50 times more likely to contain malware.

open and edit as super user or root user the GRUB config
/etc/default/grub
change line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
and append
fsck.repair=yes
in the quotes
so it'd look like
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash fsck.repair=yes"
then
sudo update-grub
then update the BIOS for your specific laptop model if there's a newer version available, sometimes has ACPI fixes.
don't power off or unplug during BIOS update or it could brick it.

>>105602The funniest thing is that I brought another Linux "resuscitated" laptop from home I hadn't used in a while to work instead and was hit with a prompt to "log in" from the terminal screen and it wouldn't let me input text in the password form, as if I remembered what my username was for that one to begin with. Piece of sh*t! heh
That very day some boomer I know who I hadn't seen in a while gave me a 15 year old Thinkpad he sto-...requisitioned from a former rentoid of his and I installed Linux on that too. LOL
It has the dude's name written on the top of it in permanent marker and had what I assume to be like, tree sap on the screen and elsewhere. I was able to clean it up though and it actually looks pretty good now (at least as good as a 15 year old STINKPAD can look anyway).
Somehow this piece of garbage has 32GB of RAM in it. It can't game worth a damn but it seems to perform well for most of the basic stuff I need it for so far. All I really want to know is what demented asshole put the Fn key where the Ctrl key usually goes. Frick you!11

> trashing open-sores freetarded lolbre trantifaggotryUnderstandable. I say this as one who jumped ship from win8 like a decade ago to mint then bounced around a few others like manjaro, bohdi, salix, and slackware before sticking with MX for the past several years. But something fucking happened and pretty much all linux seems to be universally shit all of a sudden.
Unironically considering buying a $4000 iMac, Mac Studio, or Mac Pro just so I can feel assured I have a computer that JUST WORKS again! I haven't had one of those since win7! Well, okay, Slackware was rock solid (but a pain in the ass to upgrade or install every little fucking thing by COMPILING FROM SOURCE EVER TIME and half the time it just wouldn't compile for no apparent reason even following their readme so I'd just fucking NOT get to install some things whatsoever! this is why I went with MX which is debian+antix but no soystemD which is why I got Slackware in the first place) and so was MX Linux until 3 years ago.
Or I might try some non-linux open-source thingy like *BSD or Haiku or OpenSolaris or AR-OS or BeFree or whatever. All modern Apple OS's are based on Darwin which is a *BSD fork anyway, so hey why not?

Maybe you should use, well, the few dozen other similar sites for that. Unfortunately the one I was on briefly before deleting my account because I'd get like twenty emails a day on "recommended local activity" must have gotten lost when I had to delete almost all emails with 100kb+ worth of attachments so my inbox was no longer near 100%. Unfortunate.

If you're too young to know: "bulletin board" (like image board and phpBBS [bulletin board system, like gamefaqs and somethingawful of the antediluvian Web1 and Web2 eras of 90's and 00's]) originally meant something like a giant corkboard or wooden sign in a public gathering place like town hall and public parks.

I don't hate the guy but it's not like he's a good buddy of mine either, more like an old guy that happened to see someone younger than him using a computer so periodically harangues him for assistance like this. Granted, he's treated me fairly in exchange-as I said I don't have too much against the guy-it's just not really something I want to be dealing with when I'm already working long hours and have a family of boomers of my own to take care of already
>>105666Would definitely help for the site to give me an even remotely good reason why the listing doesn't meet their apparently lofty standards. I'm given zero info nor is there anyone to contact about it. A little frustrating but I'm not going to lose sleep over it either, I'm sure the old guy will make do one way or another. In fact I've recently listed his propety personally over facebook marketplace so it's not for lack of trying on my part.
He gave me this 15 year old ThinkPad a previous tenant had left there the other day and offered to detail my car so I'm not above going a little further on his behalf than I usually would.

>>105800Between you and me and the other five people that check this website a couple times a week I have to say that I think that computers and computer-adjacent technology being hard to use is GOOD for reasons that should be obvious by now ("hard to use" being distinct from something like, not automatically repairing boot sector problems though, that's borderline malicious wouldn't you say? lol). The democratization of technology or whatever you'd call it has not really made people's lives better at the individual level in any ways that make up for the profound SOCIETAL consequences heh. Obviously it didn't turn out like that and naturally it never could have stayed our personal soy playpen forever, but I'm just sayin'.
Computers are for the glorious Gaming race and we should have to type in command lines to do everything. A small price to pay to keep the normgroids to their pastures; I am not good at these things now but when I was young I was perfectly capable of using DOS etc., and I think there similarly ought to be a great filter in place to prevent the teeming masses of lower intellects from being destroyed by the tech oligarchs and their jeet minions who want to consume, expose and profit from their every waking moment.
