Dusty as hek

Much dust

Eventually my lab on campus should have a full rack of servers and 100 gb networking equipment for me to work off of but with COVID the campus is dragging their feet.

You should clean it

I know but who has the time

Just a can of air and a microfiber cloth to get the fan blades

I could make some more half ass excuses but you right

Jeez these chromium apps are memory hungry

That's why I hate electron

I'm literally not even running anything intensive and I have 15GB of ram being used

My laptop hated me when I was grading at the end of the semester. I was grading any free time I had about 80 student programing projects and while my laptop had 16 GB of RAM I was maxing that and using about another 6 GB of SWAP.

What lang?

Most students did python but some C and C++.

I always wondered if the ta's actually run the programs or just look at source

I'm doing part time master's software dev

I'm not sure about all TAs but I run the code.

That said, I'm fairly sure the TA for one of my undergrad classes never ran one of my codes because it would crash of you let it run to completion and I got full credit.

"idk compiles and runs fine on my machine"

lol

so true hahahahaha

thats my computer when im downloading engines and peripheral software

That's everyone's computer when I distribute an internal software build

a what

Anything I develop for internal testing essentially

oh

Not a huge deal when it's sent out to other engineers who are somewhat computer savvy, but when I have to send it to non-engineers it's always mess.

"My computer told me that file you sent me was a virus and won't let me run it"

"Hit Run Anyway ignore it I know it looks scary but just ignore it"

What's even more frustrating is when I send out a zip file (because there's a bunch of DLL's) and explicitly say; Please extract the entire archive then run someProgram.exe. And they shoot me back an email "Hey I get an error cant run the program"

Of course they didn't extract it and just tried to run the exe from the zip previewer

WinDef has gotten a lot better though haha

And I will point out that every single one of those 84 were viruses lol

Or trojans

I'd be more scared about what it *didnt* catch

The fact that you got windows defender to give you 84 legitimate warnings does not bode well for your safe computing practices

Lol it was intentional

But like I said ik you be bashing on WinDef, but like I already said it's way better than it used to be, and back at the beginning of 2020 was rated by several places among the 3 best free antivirus software out there

Fair
