I worked for a small company, not an IT job, this happened like 10 years ago.
The office administrator lady got an email from an unknown address. The email was in Italian, she couldn’t speak Italian, but we had an Italian client, so it was not unexpected that we got an email in Italian. The email had an attachment, a docx file. She downloaded it, opened it then Word asked if she wants to allow running macros embedded in the document, and she obviously clicked yes. We had a small Linux file server, and the virus running on her PC encrypted several tenthousand excel files before it was noticed that something is happening and her machine could be switched off.
No problem - said the boss, we only lost a half day of work, as we have an offsite backup, it runs every night, we can just restore yesterday’s data. Unfortunately the backup stopped half years ago, but no one checked the logs…
infeeeee@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•ISPs seem designed to funnel people to capitalist cloud servicesEnglish7·1 month agoYepp, Hanlon’s razor: they are mostly just lazy and maybe incompetent, not necessarily evil, that’s just a side effect. E.g. in my country if you call them that you want to get out of CGNAT they’ll just do that for you. My IP haven’t changed in years, but I don’t pay for fix IP. But it may be different in each country, I have mostly good experiences with local ISPs here.
Your generated answer contains no relevant information. You asked the bullshit machine incorrectly, as from the community it should be clear that OP is looking for a Linux related theme, and from the image it should be clear it’s a wm or de. Not a terminal. Not a Google Slide (wtf) or whatever.
The only slightly relevant part was listing GNOME-Look and KDE Store.
I’m not a luddite, this current AI technology is a nice and interesting tool, but please don’t bring it here this way. We are humans discussing a topic, we don’t need this off-putting and irrelevant wall of text. You gain nothing, we gain nothing, no VC fund behind lemmy, there is no incentive to generate content above all. Your karma means nothing, it’s only point is sorting comments in a thread.
If OP would be interested in an AI generated answer, they would just type the question there. It’s not something only you can do.
And it doesn’t even answer the question, it sounds like the out of touch answers on microsoft support forum, why did you copied it here. You haven’t even read it? This is one of the worst usecase of an LLM I have ever seen.

infeeeee@lemm.eeto PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Changes to wolfgang's PSU low idle efficiency source.English2·2 months ago1.3 W is around 1 kWh per month. I checked on local electric company’s website, that’s around 0.2 USD per year here. Prices may be diffferent wildly worldwide, but we are definitely speaking about a less than 10 USD difference yearly.

There are different communities for answers like that, for general techsupport. Maybe OP asked it in a wrong place, but if it’s already here, and does not sound blatantly oftopic it should be answered in the spirit of the community.
And the answer was also wrong, OP asked how to save as inverted, not how to open inverted.
As we are in !opensource@lemmy.ml maybe OP would like to use a foss tool? You can’t be further from foss with aDoBe AcRoBaT rEaDeR
People are different, different people like different things, and they care about different features of a device.
I never had any apple device, but I help a lot other people with iphones and macs, and I have to tell you they are just devices. I’m familiar with their features, but I don’t care, this whole thing is only about you. If you want an iphone buy one. If you don’t want one, just move on, life is too short for getting mad about unnecessary thing like this.

infeeeee@lemm.eeto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Any dialer apps for Android that don't suck?4·2 months agoWouldn’t it be better to replace the full rom at this point? You trust other parts but not the dialer?
What I’m trying to say, if you think your built in dialer is a spyware, it’s very likely other components of the rom could be spyware as well, and you don’t gain too much by replacing only this component.
infeeeee@lemm.eeto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Any dialer apps for Android that don't suck?2·2 months agoWdym spyware? Isn’t the stock dialer comes from aosp and it’s open source? Or your rom doesn’t use that one?

It sounds like storj from a decade ago, but you got at least some monopoly money for your storage there. I don’t follow what they are doing nowadays but it started similarly

infeeeee@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Trying to find a general-use project management software solutionEnglish5·2 months agoHave you checked nocode platforms/databases? It’s basically a cross section of a super powerful excel and a database manager. You can set up the way you want, link records from different tables, add images, files to “rows”, like excel on steroids. You don’t have to understand SQL at all, that’s why it’s called “no code”.
I use nocodb. Tried baserow before, but I didn’t like that a lot of basic features are not available in the foss version, in nocodb only some bells and whistles are behind a paywall and not available in the self hosted version
They are also called airtable clones, as airtable was the first well known platform like these.
Some other similars exist: https://alternativeto.net/software/airtable/?platform=self-hosted&feature=database-management
