Cops. The ones who can’t do drugs as a rule of their employment.
Yeah, I’m sure they have all kinds of useful insights about drugs. I’ll tune into their podcast as soon as I finished the one from the Catholic priests talking about how sex and marriage work.
QEMM was the shit!
I feel like the sheer jump in performance from throwing an SSD into an old system was akin to what people would have expected from the “download more ram” scam ads of the 00s.
I think it was Gandhi who said “the best time to punch a nazi is 90 years ago. The second best time is today.”
Better yet, there’s sites that have filters you can set. So you set the wattage filter to 60w and then…. no fucking results. But if you clear the filter, there’s lots of results, because it turns out their entire inventory has a wattage of “n/a”.
Sounds right, and I’m sure worried. They rolled through Kyiv in 3 days because they’re so prepared!
Of the people I see posting stuff daily (or at least within a day of the few times a year I log in), it’s all posted by people I’ve worked with with in the past who I thought it was a miracle they were employed at all. And they usually still/again have the Open To Work badge on their pic.
If LinkedIn got rid of the entire concept of a feed, I think it would work a lot better. And the “loss of engagement” won’t contain anything of value apart from ad impressions.
„They hate us for our freedom!“ eh?
The problem with geosynchronous orbit is that you need to be at a high altitude to maintain it. That increases the packet round trip time to a receiver on the ground. Starlink satellites orbit low enough to give a theoretical 20ms ping. A geostationary satellite would be at best 500ms. It’s fine for some tasks but lousy for applications that need low latency, like video calling.
Yup. I was using self checkout once and it flagged me when I was trying to pay but didn’t say why. The supervisor was on top of it and unlocked the terminal and it made him watch a 5 second video of “suspicious activity”, which was me moving my reusable bag to the other side at a low angle. Some AI they use saw that as trying to sneak an unscanned product past the scanner.
I thought it was terribly clever but he just rolled his eyes and apologized for the inconvenience. As if an underpaid Walmart employee is going to waste their time arguing with a shoplifter.
lol. They’re promoting their employee shuttle. Classic Felon.
Did you put regular detergent in a high efficiency washer?
My baby has diapers that say “up to 100% leakproof”. It does not help my confidence in the product.
“I’m playing an evil character!”
No you’re not, your character is just a dick.
I had a Roomba that was cloud connected (when AWS has an outage, it doesn’t work at all).
It still just mindlessly ran various patterns and beeped when it got stuck, which was all the time. Piece of shit.
I bought Terraria when I was really into Minecraft. Didn’t like it at first because the only Minecraft thing is “pick up blocks and crafting”, but once I gave it a fair shake I absolutely loved it.
Fuck, now I have the game music stuck in my head from thinking about the game!
I have one. It’s a fucking lie.
It’s a little worrisome, actually. Professionally written software still needs a human to verify things are correct, consistent, and safe, but the tasks we used to foist off on more junior developers are being increasingly done by AI.
Part of that is fine - offloading minor documentation updates and “trivial” tasks to AI is easy to do and review while remaining productive. But it comes at the expense of the next generation of junior developers being deprived of tasks that are valuable for them to gain experience to work towards a more senior level.
If companies lean too hard into that, we’re going to have serious problems when this generation of developers starts retiring and the next generation is understaffed, underpopulated, and probably underpaid.
It sounds like you’ve got at least five hilarious stories to share if your day has left you feeling this way.
