    Disabling wi-fi on Samsung home appliances (specifically dishwasher)
  • Ok dude.

    Have you ever set up one of these devices? It's not a case of 'find my wifi, enter in passkey, connected' they literally broadcast an unsecured ad hoc network that you connect to and configure from.

    If you never connect it it will sit there blaring an unsecured wifi with access to its core configuration forever

  • Due to hardware reqs we're tossing the idea at work to replace the Microsoft termserv with Linux. Due to the userbase being all windows fans we'd need a full on GUI and i've been prodded towards Mint. Good idea or bad?

    I've happily set up a remote kunbuntu for my workspace previously, but accomodating multiple complete linux neophytes is giving me a bit of pause.

    Bit more info: The current termserv is a debloated win10 machine with the multisession registry edit. However, it's on an R515 with proxmox (and running extremely well). Due to partner network requirements, we can't run depreciated software, and the box won't support win11, and frankly, I sat the boss down and asked him if he wanted to be microsoft's bitch for the forseeable future and junk serviceable hardware. He's absolutely up to getting on a linux ecosystem, but the graphical desktop environment is non-negotiable on his end.
