Switched recently, and was positively surprised by the flexibility of the import process.

On: How fast is a macOS VM, and how small could it be?

[bakoo]

Maybe, but then likely only as a BYOD. A company owned enrollment setup requires linking up with Apple Business Manager.

On: "Negative" views of Broadcom driving VMware migrations, rival says

The worst part about the convoluted download process is that it seems someone have actively been making it more difficult since the first iteration, and I can't for the life of me understand why. Is it being done by someone who hates Broadcom? Or perhaps struggle with mental illness? Or is it due to a mix of micro management and extreme incompetence? I can't remember seeing something this bad since the horror shows people managed to create using stuff like Flash and Silverlight.

Probably just an unfortunate side effect of reusing the same systems used for restricted subscription downloads for free product downloads, combined with underfunding for the free product lines.

I would love to know where you got them from!

You can find them under the search phrase: "nasal dilator".

Freshcode.club isn't as vast as freshmeat felt, but at least it looks the same =]

All Tux, no bucks?

On: Ask HN: Did you encounter any leap year bugs today?

[bakoo]

Same with my colleagues most recent top model Samsung Galaxy Watch :]

[dotnet00 → bakoo]

Odd, mine is showing the right date.

[davchana → dotnet00]

Are you sure? My F91W doesn't even ask for year in settings. How would have it known it is a leap year or not.

Some other models (not F91W) does track year.

[dotnet00 → davchana]

I was responding to the claim about the Samsung Watch not showing the right date, I unfortunately have never owned the older kinds of "smartwatches" :)

[frankgrimesjr → bakoo]

Are they using a third party watch face? My Galaxy Watch 4 has no issues.

[kennethrc → frankgrimesjr]

I have a custom watch face on my GW4 and it's showing the 29th

[linker3000 → bakoo]

OK on my Watch4 Classic FWIW.

Directory Opus was great back in the day, remember the joy of binding a ton of scripts and cli and gui apps to various buttons.

On: Discontinued and unreleased Microsoft peripherals revived by licensing deal

[bakoo]

The ergonomics were awful, so I gave up on mine.
