As someone working in the Microsoft ecosystem at an MSP, we seriously wonder what the fuck goes on over there. We’re supposed to defend everything y’all do which is getting really hard to justify without sounding like idiots.

Do they need money for plane tickets? I’d be happy to pitch in

These are the same people who think deregulating everything will make us safer

I’ve met people who won’t date someone because they have an Android. Never once seen it the other way around.

seemingly unaware that China, Japan, and South Korea all have overworking problems

That’s exactly why he’s saying it. It’s an international race to the bottom.

ChatGPT/GPT-4/BingChat and Claude 2 are so much better I feel Bard is comparatively unusable.

Even the most terrible AAA games sell millions of copies these days. They more than make their money back with each one, the margins are slimmer but the volume is magnitudes higher than ever. Cry me a river.

This is incredible news if you are a mouse.

Let’s hope it translates to humans without also causing cancer or some other horrible condition as all of these miracle drugs seem to.

Promoted several top performers. To fill the vacancy left from this, they then hired several incompetent, inexperienced people to fill the leftover roles, who unsurprisingly underperformed.

Well then wouldn’t you know it, our profitability went down.

So then they start several rounds of layoffs where they fired all of the top performers who had been promoted accusing them of, ironically enough, poor performance for the first time in their entire career at the company.

Throughout the entire process the same people who were eventually fired were reassured they were safe.

The underperforming idiots still work here, they just shifted some of their responsibilities on to other people like me in other departments so they have less room to fuck up.

Oh and they froze our yearly raises and bonuses, meanwhile our CEO got a raise even while making more than double the average for a CEO of a company our size (8 figures).

It looks like a toddler’s paper mache project

I think they’re gambling that either the legal precedent will end up in favor of generative AI being exempt from copyright, or that they can out spent anyone who would want to take them on.

Ran just fine on an i5-6600K paired with a 6600XT. Had it on max settings with FSR on at 60fps and it was quite playable, even with Plex server running in the background.

Occasional crashes but the 6600K is below the minimum spec so I was surprised it even ran at all.

Took him two days to figure out a hello world in react?

Clearly it’s a dog if the background is green.

Otherwise, it’s fried chicken.

Just assumed, I get asked for tips basically everywhere at this point so I assumed that would be the case with someone pumping your gas for you.

Sounds pretty nice.

Is it expected to tip the person who pumps your gas?

A cop told me after my car was totaled that he called the local tow truck, and the cost was covered by the city.

Imagine my surprise when I went to the tow yard a couple days later and they handed me my $800 bill.
