I love e-ink for informational displays around the house. If they were cheaper, there’d be one in every room driven by an ESP32.

How did you go about setting it up on the highest ridge in your area? I’ve got a lot of hills/mountains in mine but most of it is owned by someone or public land like parks. I would love to do something like that, though.

True, but again, you’re making a lot of assumptions here. I don’t see anything about proxies anywhere.

He probably got caught because of an internal audit, that’s the assumption I would make.

Are you doing a “well, akshully” here while also complaining about that very behavior?

You’re not educating anyone, you’re just being hostile for no reason.

Did GFCI not allow for it?

Use grayjay.app, they have it for desktop too. No ads, sponsorblock built in, and has multiple platforms in one place.

Try just telling someone that they need to switch to Linux with no other details. They’ll either get confused/overwhelmed by choice, or possibly choose one that isn’t user friendly and hate it.

People have to start somewhere, and I see no issue with recommending user friendly distros to get them going.

The other catch with WP is that there’s a lot of overhead, and you have to keep it updated to avoid security issues. Static site generators have minimal overhead and updates, but may not be as easy to use when building the site.

Rivian didn’t over produce, and notably, didn’t go all in with the new authoritarian regime. Also, a 36% decrease in sales is much less than having $800 million (in MSRP) sitting in lots. The R1T is a very successful vehicle if you compare it to the Swastitruck.

This absolutely depends on your location. My power company recommends charging at night, when the grid isn’t as strained. My area primarily uses hydro and wind, and this article seems to be talking about solar which is not very efficient here.

Much of the study is focused on the area around Stanford, which has access to a large amount of solar power nearby, so it would make more sense there.

I sure hope that “some time” is coming soon, because I’m exhausted after three years and counting.

I’m not saying there wouldn’t be layoffs without it, but it certainly would be better. I know from experience that a lot of the people that were laid off were a critical part of the team, and those that remained had to bare that load. It has burned me out several times, because I’m doing work that should be done by two or three people.

I’m a DevOps engineer, if that counts.

It is, at least in my experience. Further, my recently laid off colleagues have been trying to find work for months, some of whom have been applying for jobs that would require pay cuts, with no luck.

Pretty much every job listing in the tech space gets hundreds if not thousands of applicants because the layoffs have not stopped for three years. You can see what I mean at layoffs.fyi. In tech, 60,000 so far this year, 153,000 in 2024, 264,000 in 2023, and 165,000 in 2022.

That’s not even counting those that graduated in the last couple of years. Those people are in an extra bad spot because they have a large amount of college debt with no way to make their payments.

All of STEM is suffering because of corporate greed and rising anti-intellectualism.

Sure, it’s just even worse with big tech.

Depends on the meat, if it’s beef, I don’t. If it’s poultry or pork, yes, because I don’t trust myself enough to not get food poisoning.

There will definitely be more, especially as the economic situation in the US continues to worsen. Big tech works under the unsustainable model of unlimited growth, and even if profits increase, if they don’t increase “enough” they lay off workers. They could save a ton of money by laying off execs, but they’ll never do that.

I’ve found layoffs.fyi to be pretty up to date with tracking how many people are laid off in the tech sector. It’s no wonder that it’s nearly impossible to find a job in tech, and these execs and boards are to blame.

I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t considered a career change, not because of the work itself but because I’m exhausted from worrying about if I’ll have a job to pay the bills tomorrow. The only thing stopping me is that I have no idea what I’d do otherwise.

Personally, I’d rather not have a card that could catch fire or have missing ROPs.
