Convenience is always going to be the answer. If you know of safe pirating sites that have good bandwidth and uptime, that's great! But lots of consumers aren't willing to go through ones with quetsionable ads, or fight…
I am working hard to manage my mental model when shopping now to try and minimize this affect knowing it exists. In a sense I've realized my mentality toward the world is less of "what brands are good?" and more of "how…
I have, off and on, for years written diatribes about how if people in our industry want to run around with the "Engineer" moniker at some point they should start acting like it. That means respecting all aspects of…
I like your analogy. Because while I dislike AI writing, it matters in context. If someone is trying to formulate a coherent thought of work tasks required of me then I don't really care if it reads like AI as long as…
I made mention on a reply to the other commentator but I feel the issue is due to lack of training data in the PLC/SCADA space. If an AI engine with the appropriate amount of training data was available to me I'm sure…
The biggest part of that is how there's a lot more community involvement for IoT and things like Home Assistant than there are for the proprietary PLC systems. In the PLC/SCADA space a lot of the development and…
The one thing that poisons the entire online discourse regarding LLMs to me is just simply not knowing who you're dealing with and what their problems are. This, like all things, is complex and nuanced. For all my…
As a Canadian I've had pretty shit experiences with the land crossings coming back to Canada from the US. They seem to be total grumpy shitheads all around. But at the same time I've had the absolute worst experiences…
This is Conservative playbook 101. It doesn't matter what the truth of the matter is. What Dear Leader says is used as a scare tactic and marching orders for the underlings to believe and repeat. If you live/interact…
As a Canadian who has been listening to the "51st state" wordvomit coming out of US administration your comment is very apt. For some reason I can't fully grasp, a LOT of US citizens are ignorant to how the rest of the…
You're discussing layoffs. OP is discussing firings. And yeah, there's crossover but they're not 1 to 1. At the same time, if a company is taking two people of equal position and firing one, or keeping the other, the…
@OP are you the creator? Could you add my GPU to the list? Radeon VII https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/graphi...
Not the OP you're replying to, but a parent nonetheless. From basically the very moment you realize you're having a kid you essentially become the #2 person in your own life. Its more so for the mother, but even the…
I could never get used to ergonomic keyboards. I actually spend a considerable amount of my day typing single handed across the entire QWERTY so I don't have to remove my hand from the mouse. I developed the habit…
Would be interesting to know how they were testing authentication. Were they using a botnet of any sort? Otherwise for every "valid" user/pass combo from an external leak they tested there'd be several failures. A…
Yeah... I randomly punched in $40,000 for Gaming and got (1) Parts that total $9,980, but claims it totals $33,950 (2) Recommendations for parts that are both years out of date, and vastly inferior to other options (CPU…
oooboy is it. That's what I get for not proofreading.
My company is generally good about that. We have lots of overlapping documentation that answers questions like that in different ways. From Electrical schemas to QA docs, picture archives of panels and wiring, ticketing…
For personal development, it was merely shipping things. The more I published, the better I felt about myself. The more I published, the more I had learned and had to refer to. Now when I'm taking on tasks I can…
Perhaps you're using a broad/generic example to try and make the point but I'll say this: If a seasoned mechanic is unable to figure out how to reset the Maintenance Reminder or look up how to sync Tire Pressure…
>Then again how much time do computers save? This is honestly a good question to ask at times. I remember back when I was trying to get into weight lifting. I was searching for apps and tools that would help me track…
>sexual fertility You think our government respects people taking time to rear offspring? Of course not! They're not contributing their labour to our economy while being parents so we've structured the incentives to…
Depends on what timeframe you consider the OP sees as "new thing". Reaganomics really was the start of this trend though I'm sure it is easy to find examples prior to then looking back until the Great Depression.
I actually had a decent experience with their support on my Pixel 1 with shoddy bluetooth. It was one call to tech support and they basically just said it isn't worth troubleshooting and arranged the entire replacement…
My wife had issues with her Pixel 6 Pro almost immediately after delivery. It was stuttering randomly doing anything. My rough diagnosis after watching it/replicating it was hardware issue there was no doubt in my mind.…
