I've read over a bunch of old threads here (and Google was limited in help) regarding MS licensing. Nothing really has shown me what I'm after, though. What I want is a single source to show what is installed, what license we have (all licenses) and how many we can still deploy. This would cover our User CAL's, ServeDesktop licenses and extras like Visio, Power BI, etc. The O365 licenses are easy enough to manage in the admin portal but VLSC is useless when it comes to tracking what's actually installed and (preferably) where.
So, what do the admins of this sub use the most?

Hi I am trying to decide which DAC to get and am really overwhelmed. On one hand Bifrost 2 is highly acclaimed but costs $800. Does the Geshelli J2 at $250 have a close enough sound? is the 250-800 jump going to get me better sound?
Current setup: DAC: Schiit Modi 3+ Amp(s): Schiit Magni 3 Heresy (Schiit Jotunheim 2 is shipped and on its way) Headphones: Hifiman Arya Stealth (v3)
I have watched a bunch of youtube reviews and both the Geshelli j2 and Schiit Bifrost 2 are well regarded. however, I cant find much of a direct comparison. I would highly appreciate some advice from someone who has tried both. I just don't want to have FOMO if i buy the Geshelli J2 and not the bifrost 2 (since that will allegedly give me a perfect system paired with my jotunheim 2 amp).
Thanks,

The Metaverse has been a popular topic of discussion lately, with tech giants like Facebook and Microsoft investing billions of dollars in its development. While it offers a new and exciting frontier for digital innovation, the Metaverse also brings with it a host of ethical implications that need to be considered.
One of the most significant ethical implications of the Metaverse is the issue of digital identity and privacy. In the Metaverse, users will be able to create and control avatars, virtual representations of themselves. These avatars will interact with other users and the virtual world, blurring the lines between reality and virtual reality.
However, the creation and control of avatars raise concerns about digital identity and privacy. Who owns the data generated by avatars? Who has access to that data, and how will it be used? Will users be able to control their data and how it is shared?
These questions become even more critical when we consider the potential for Metaverse experiences to be linked to real-world identities. For example, if someone's virtual avatar is connected to their real identity, it could potentially be used to track their behavior in the real world. This raises concerns about privacy and the potential for surveillance.
Another ethical implication of the Metaverse is the issue of inclusivity. The Metaverse has the potential to be a space where people can connect and interact regardless of their physical location. However, the question remains, will the Metaverse be accessible to everyone? Will it be a space that is inclusive of people with disabilities, those from different socio-economic backgrounds, and those who are less tech-savvy?
The ethical implications of the Metaverse also extend to issues of power and control. With companies like Facebook and Microsoft investing heavily in its development, there is a risk that these companies will have too much power and control over the Metaverse. This could lead to issues of monopolization and exclusion, where smaller companies and individuals are pushed out of the Metaverse.
In addition, there is a risk that the Metaverse will become a space where corporate interests are prioritized over the interests of individuals. For example, companies could use the data generated by avatars to target users with advertising, potentially leading to a loss of privacy and autonomy.
The development of the Metaverse also raises questions about the role of regulation. Will governments be able to regulate the Metaverse effectively, given its global and decentralized nature? Will there be a need for new forms of regulation and governance to ensure that the Metaverse is developed ethically and in the public interest?
In conclusion, the development of the Metaverse offers exciting new opportunities for digital innovation and social interaction. However, it also brings with it a range of ethical implications that need to be considered. Issues of digital identity, privacy, inclusivity, power and control, and regulation are all critical areas that require careful consideration to ensure that the Metaverse is developed ethically and in the public interest. As the Metaverse continues to evolve, it is essential that we engage in critical reflection and debate to ensure that it is developed in a way that is inclusive, ethical, and accountable.

I talked with chat and they said no, is it possible or has anyone done it before to buy something online? Thanks!

And if I get an external drive, will I be able to use the same one with a Macbook Pro if I get one?
Thanks in advance. Looking forward to becoming part of this community!

Hello, I'd like to suggest a story about a tragedy that has been weighing on people's hearts for over a decade. I'm not sure if it really fits in as "strange, dark and mysterious" because the indications as to why it happened were not at all mysterious. It was pretty obvious. However I believe this story needs to be told over and over again. This all went down in the town of Santa Maria, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. On january the 27th, 2013, many energetic young adults full of life and ambitions went to have a good time at the local nightclub "Kiss". One of them was 18-year old Kelen Ferreira. Of course, she could not imagine she was walking into a deathtrap. None of the 1000+ kids could've possibly imagined what would go down. The band " Gurizada Fandangueira" started their show at around 2:30 am. At some point, the vocalist lit a pyrothecnic device and waved it around in front of the crowd. A little too late they've noticed the ceiling was on fire. You see, the acoustic foam used on the ceiling was flammable. By the time the crowd noticed the fire it was already spreading and only the people close to the stage actually saw it. Chaos insues. People start running trying to get away. Many of them not even knowing what they're running from. Many ran towards the door through they have gotten in. It was the only way out. To add insult to injury, the security were trying to block people from going out because they hadn't shown the payment receipt. Eventually they noticed the smoke and the first wave got out. But the rest, like Kellen, were still trapped inside. In the chaos, many mistook the bathrooms for the nightclub entrance. They were doomed. Some were removed in time and survived. Countless others lost their lives. Kellen, even though her arms were covered in burns, was saved and is alive today. Her leg had to be amputated. Some who got out were doomed as well. Even hours after having left the place, some people's bodies just shut down. But why? Another detail about the imflammable foam was that it created cyanide gas when on fire. The night club had become a huge gas chamber, the likes of holocaust concentration camps. Upon arriving on the scene, many parents desparately looked for their children among the warzone that it had become, with people running around trying to get people out, people trying to break in through the walls to get out the people trapped in the bathrooms. When parents didn't find their kids on the scene, they went to the hospital. When they didn't find them there either, there was only one last place they could be found. A local gymnasium, where many of the victims bodies were layed on the floor side-by-side, waiting for the parents to identify them. One line for women and one for men. A nightmare no one should ever go through, to bury their own children, had become true for the many parents in Santa Maria. Together they created the "Associação dos Familiares de Vítimas e Sobreviventes da Tragédia de Santa Maria" to fight for justice. Inumerous irregularities were found inside that nightclub building, which wasn't even capable of hosting 1000+ people. It had no emergency exits, no working fire extinguishers and most of the material used was cheap and of questionable quality. Like most things in Brazil. The parents have been pushing for the sentence of "homicide with possible intent" for the owners, the band vocalist and producer, which means even though they didn't ask for this outcome, they had to know it was a possibility as a result of their recklessness. They were all sentenced, but it was deemed a biased trial and the sentences were not carried out. As of to day, no one has been fully held accountable.
Kellen has been advocating for justice on her instagram, inspiring millions with her story. A netflix series called "Todo dia a mesma noite"/ "The Endless Night" debuted in January this year and it is quite thrilling, please check it out. Even if this story doesn't make it into a video, if I can convice even one of you to check for your local nightclub's irregularities before you go, I will be very happy with that. Keep safe y'all.

As fans eagerly await the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, speculation about the game's setting and location continues to grow. While Rockstar Games has been tight-lipped about the game's development, fans have been scouring the internet for clues.
One popular theory is that the game will be set in Vice City, the fictional Miami-inspired city that was featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. This theory is based on a number of clues, including a cryptic tweet from Rockstar Games that featured an image of a palm tree with the words "KIFFLOM" written on it. This phrase has appeared in previous games in the series and is associated with a cult that is based in the game's version of Los Angeles.
Other theories suggest that the game could take place in a new location entirely, possibly even outside of the United States. Some have suggested that the game could be set in Tokyo, Japan, or even in a fictional version of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Regardless of where the game is set, fans can be sure that Rockstar Games will create a rich, immersive world full of interesting characters and compelling storylines.

I just got into model trains and am beginning a small n gauge layout. I was wandering if anyone has some suggestions on which DCC power bus I should get and where to get it.

Which game should i get?
Used to be a huge fan of the nfs games back in the day but didn‘t buy any of the new ones the past like 8–10years not sure.
I wanted to get back into it and thought i should just get the latest one (Unbound) but it looks cartoony like it‘s made for little kids ?!
What i liked most about the games is the visual tuning so please recommend me which one to get with good tuning but that has real graphics not this cartoony anime bs

I usually just ask them if they’re familiar with AVGN, as that’s usually their only knowledge of Cinemassacre even if they don’t know what Cinemassacre is. If they say yes, then I simply tell them that it’s a community where we post memes about the way the channel has gone, and sometimes vent about it too. If they say no, I will give them a short background of what AVGN is, and then describe the sub. I don’t say anything that they might be confused about such as “Take a wild guess,” “Hey, I’m Justin,” or “Unfollow me, thanks,” as they’re more likely to get confused.
I thought I heard a coworker I was talking to at lunch today saying that he had to leave at 5:40 for a soccer game, and my Truther instincts kicked in. In reality, it was 5:30. I explained the significance of 5:40 to him as I thought he said that at first.

Kevin: Bill, I've got a half-baked idea for you.
Bill: Let's hear it, Kev.
Kevin: Okay, so you know how the NBA has a salary cap, right?
Bill: Yeah, of course.
Kevin: Well, what if we applied that to the Oscars?
Bill: I'm not following.
Kevin: Okay, so hear me out. We set a cap on how much a movie can spend on its budget, and then that budget determines how many nominations the movie can receive.
Bill: Hmm, interesting. I like where you're going with this.
Kevin: And we can call it the "Oscar Cap"!
Bill: (laughs) Okay, I'm in. But how do we determine the cap?
Kevin: We could base it on the average budget of the Best Picture nominees from the past five years.
Bill: That could work. But what about movies that are low-budget but still great?
Kevin: That's the beauty of it, Bill. The cap will force studios to be more creative with their budgets, and we might see some amazing films that wouldn't have been made otherwise.
Bill: Alright, I'm sold. Let's pitch this to the Academy.
Kevin: (laughs) I think we might need to work on it a little more, but I like where your head's at, Bill.
Bill: (laughs) Thanks, Kev. That was a great half-baked idea.

I have an existing , upcoming economy reservation where the economy rate is 11k points. Currently business class on my route is showing as 22k. I’m wondering what Aeroplan will say if I call in for a change ? Will I get hit with change fees? I know I could call in but trying to avoid that process. 25k if that matters….

Hello!
I've done a couple basic electronics projects but I'm still learning. I would like to make my son a nightlight that uses a rechargeable battery to power 2 or 3 5mm 3v LEDs. This seems simple enough, where I'm unsure is that I would like to be able to charge the unit and still have it function.
I've read it is unsafe to use a TP4056 module for this. Might anyone here have any guidance or advice?
Thanks!

Anyone know where one can be found? Almost had one on gunbroker a few days ago, but it ended with a buy it now option.

Hi... first ever post, long time lurker.. A few months ago I was diagnosed with ADHD and that finally helped me put into perspective my struggle with moderation and weed. It started off slow when the pandemic first began... getting high before cleaning made the act of chores so much more fun! So I started making it a ritual.. and now I have realized that I am full blown dependent on it for my executive dysfunction. I have now been medicated for a couple months, and while I noticed some help with the mood stabilization, I am still really struggling with doing all the things i know I am supposed to be doing - from the big tasks, to just keeping a regular cleaning schedule, to as little as brushing my teeth in the morning. Even right now I am trying to talk myself out of going to buy a vape pen because there is so much on my to do list (lots of little easy things...) AND I JUST CANT GET MYSELF TO DO IT. In the past.. I would just take a few hits, then everything would calm down and I would become super productive - getting everything on my list done and more usually and the real kicker - I WAS HAPPY AND ENJOYED DOING IT. Weed just makes me feel happier and like I want to be productive.. without it I just have the recurring voice in my head of "I don't wannaa....." and I'm just stuck in this loop. I know it's a lie.. I just need some advice, words of encouragement, or I don't even really know.. but I want to be the person I dream of being, but while sober... well part of me wants that.. the other parts want the vape cart and comfy/coziness of the body buzz to get through the day.

Blackbeard is from a country where people can’t sleep. And as someone pointed out, he doesn’t dream. And dreams and desires create devil fruits. Not sleeping means he can’t dream. Black beards current devil fruit stops devil fruits from working aka stops peoples dreams. Maybe devil fruits being created has something to do with the nation who can’t sleep. Maybe by collecting the one piece he aims to destroy all df and return sleep to his people.

I accept that my rank in comp is determined by my internal skill rating, but I fully believe there is another variable in play by Bungie to keep me within my rank.
The vast majority of my games, my team has little to no chance of winning. The skill differential between teams is incredible. The amount of games where either no one on my team is above 1.0, or I am the only one, cannot be a coincidence after this many games.

I'm slowly coming to the realization I may have an eating disorder.
Most of my entire life, I have always been on the heavier side. Last year around April, I lost my grandmother. Me and her would go out almost everyday to get ice cream as I was growing up. She would also make huge meals. She was basically the one who kept me a bigger kid for the most part. Well when I lost her last year, I stopped eating unless it was convenient. If i was at work? Starve till I'm home. I'm at home but cooking will take me 20+ mins? I'd rather starve. It's gotten to the point where I am now under weight. The smell of food makes me nauseous. Nothing sounds good anymore. Every single morning it's fighting a battle to be awake because I feel nauseous from being hungry. Usually the nausea goes away after I force myself to eat, but as I'm sure many of you are aware, shoving food down my throat is not a pleasant experience. I don't know what exactly to do. I throw up occasionally from the stomach pains i get in the mornings. This is kinda affecting my job life as well as my home life. Job because who can work 100% when they feel icky, and home because I feel like my husband is getting annoyed by how often I'm throwing up, or when he offers me food, I just cannot get myself to eat.
What do i do?
