My experience with this is even if you spend a comparatively huge amount of money on a mac with good specs, even if you want to update the graphics card there's a very high chance it's not "supported" and things like the boot screen don't work anymore lol.

Is giving away rapidly dwindling restricted stock something that companies usually attempt to inspire confidence? Seems like every time I hear something like this happening its because a company is circling the drain.

The times I've worked places where this kind of offer went out -- I have a habit of killing companies -- everybody took it as a message to get out while the getting was good. Haha wow I didn't even think of that. Christ what a terrible idea. I believe Sears also started doing sometime after their idiot Randoid CEO hosed up everything, and yeah...

Even in NYC, a lot of the trains are old and don't display the next stop, and are filled with ads so you're lucky if you can see a track map. If the conductor does announce the stop, the audio is terrible so you can't understand it half the time. Not to mention any of the stations outside Manhattan (and even some Manhattan stations) still look like they've been hit by a hurricane recently.

I got a smart TV and fortunately never had to connect it to the Internet, and just use in as extra monitor to put videos on a big screen from my PC, and it does a pretty good job of that. It's a Westinghouse Roku one if you're looking for a TV that doesn't harass you or require an Internet connection.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/16/geofence-warrants-reverse-search-warrants-police-google https://www.wired.com/story/geofence-warrants-google/ quote:In January 2020, an alarming email from Google landed in McCoy’s inbox. Police were requesting his user data, the company told him, and McCoy had seven days to go to court and block its release. So if looks like you have to disable location and/or turn on airplane mode to avoid incriminating yourself just by being in a certain place and time with your phone now that Google is just giving out location data like candy to cops? Or is just disabling Location enough since police would have to request cell tower records from phone companies in that case?

The Internet as a whole just seems to have made spreading right-wing propaganda and lies that much easier, and could possibly be the main reason for the rightward shift worldwide. Especially in the last couple years with many people apparently not finding anything better to do but sit at home and be indoctrinated by Qanon garbage, etc. The lack of moderation on social media or any attempt to curb this by libertarian tech bros I'm sure hasn't helped.

Mr. Fall Down Terror posted:the internet equalizes all messages, left or right, valid or batshit. we're more fearful of the right gaining power but over in chudland they're equally lamenting the coming left-antifa alliance who bans meat and forces everyone to worship obama Like Crain, I also greatly disagree with this. Right wing propaganda is many times easier and cheaper to spread, and people seem to take to it like heroin. I would love if facts and logic would have an equal shot by default but this has not been the case.

Maybe they should have named 4K blu rays something else, cause I'd be under the assumption that regular blu ray players could play them even though they can't. Doubt it would have made much of a difference, like it didn't with with "HD DVDs" though.

Can confirm that even the Tesla 12V battery dies and there are no "Tesla authorized repair shops" (dealers) around, you are megafucked because they are special sized batteries that are not sold in stores. Also you void the warranty for your car if you somehow manage to get one and replace it yourself. It's some Apple device proprietary poo poo, but in car form. Your option is to get a flatbed truck to tow your brick all the way to a Tesla dealer, probably costing 500+ dollars. Just had to go through this whole charade with a friends Model 3, the heating system stopped working because the car got too cold (LOL), meaning it could not keep the 12V battery warm. After many calls to Tesla telling us to disconnect and reconnect the battery (which didn't work), we took it out of the car and put it on top of a heater indoors for a while because it was basically frozen. Put it back in the car during the day, and thankfully the main battery had enough juice to recharge the 12V somewhat, and we were able to get it to a charging station and just leave it plugged in overnight. The heating system was still failing because the 12V was nearly dead, but this at least let us drive it back to a Tesla dealer so they could replace it without voiding the warranty.

Yeah there are a lot of people in tech, management mainly, that are desperately seeking to justify their jobs. At bigger companies a lot of their "solutions" get cargo-culted around without anyone stopping to think why we would actually need something until it fails. At the biggest companies these ideas often fail upwards for quite some time just because they have the money to waste.

Just having your last name changed at your own job can be a disaster. Any idea on how many systems will suddenly break or not allow you to log in because your email address changed and it wont sync over from active directory properly? At least half of them, and you'll be dealing with broken poo poo or finding new broken poo poo for months, at least. I'm sure this has nothing to with women traditionally having their last names changed and tech being functionally or actually misogynist either.

Yeah once my HP ink cartridges started drying out in less than a year I figured it was time to dump that whole scam and just got a laser printer too. Also lol that HP ink printers need to "clean" the cartridges constantly, like on every startup, wasting even more ink every time. Oh yeah I still use the HP printer/scanner for scanning and it bitches about not having ink on startup every time and I have to confirm it before I can scan, what a loving terrible product. I at least got it for free from someone else who didn't want to deal with it. Mercury_Storm fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Jul 22, 2022 |

This probably has something to do with them charging up to $12000 to beta test autopilot (seriously ). I'd imagine people wouldn't be happy if they suddenly had to buy an expensive lidar upgrade for existing cars or the project just being declared a failure and only supported on models that don't exist yet.
