No absolutely don't use full stops for one word replies. It can come across as very rude.
They forgot to renew their domain 😂
They are a member of the EBU which a bunch of other non EU countries also are.
Which series how long ago?
I doubt the 3000 series has them because they suck, but all the 5000 series laptops I have used have had a shutter. Granted, I'm only really referring to laptops that released within the last 7 years or so.
I currently have a latitude 5430 and a brand new precision 3490 and they both have a shutter, but that's not too surprising considering that they look identical to each other.
I have to know that I'm dreaming to know that I should look in a mirror though.
Or am I supposed to just constantly look into mirrors throughout the day so I knew that when I don't look into a mirror, it's a dream?
Most Dell latitudes and precisions also have a physical shutter.
I love that feature. It makes me more comfortable around the computer because no one can look at me without my consent.
Just stop speaking in riddles man.
Sure, but that's entirely their choice to make. It's not comparable to when they bought exclusively.
I don't see what was supposed to be funny but sure.
Just seems like you can't accept that you were wrong 🤷
Keep track of your own stuff dude.
Dell DRAC similar systems like HPE ILO and IPMI are so called light out management or out of band management tools. They are used to administer servers even when the host OS is broken, non existent or shutdown. Most have a KVM functionality. They can also be used for a bunch or other stuff like alerting, setting up hardware raid, changing bios settings, automatically updating firmware, logging of various telemetry,
It's a very, very useful tool but it's not really meant to be used as a daily replacement to SSH, RDP, or similar tools.
And yeah while monitor and keyboard carts (aka crash carts) are common in data centers. They are very undesirable compared to lights out management, since you have to be physically on location in a very noisy and frankly hostile environment to use it.
