I actually downgraded from whatever the latest Note was at the time for a second hand 6a. No complaints. And a fraction of the cost, and I’m not paying Verizon monthly installments for a “free” phone.
Related, I used to armor my phone because I get up to things that could result in damaging the phone up to and including dropping it in several feet of water. If it happens to my Pixel I’ll just go get another used one. Less stress FTW!
As a young engineer I went all in on SharePoint when it came to our company. Became evangelical and learned how to make it do all sorts of shit.
How naive I was…
Fuck OneDrive with a rusty hook.
Ok, so not OneDrive generally but specifically the unholy merging of OD and Win11. JFC when I navigate to a folder and save a file there THAT FILE HAD BETTER FUCKING BE THERE and not in some shadow folder you default mapped to OneDrive because FUCK ME, RIGHT?
This irritates me so much. Get off my lawn.
Thanks for sharing this. Started hosting a local copy of several wiki sources last weekend once this news broke.
Another commenter said downloading is missing out on the best part of Wikipedia, the ongoing editing. Which, while true, is also going to be a weak point.
How many of those amazing editors are going to stick around when their full time job becomes combatting obvious right wing bullshit, when they have to submit gov ID to have an account on the site, and when common sense and fairness becomes a crime?
Wikipedia was a high point for humanity. Whatever comes next I’d like to preserve a little piece of it.
My first network stack was written in assembly for a Motorola 68k. It was hot.
This. So fucking much this. I’ve seen Jira used to plan waterfall schedules, to track meeting actions, and as a relational database. And all of them claiming to be “agile”.
When used for the right thing in the right way, Jira is a great tool. It is people who make it shitty, and specifically the type of PM who doesn’t understand the complexities, people or technical, of their work.
Yeah, he’s not getting made fun of for his shoes. They’re just a convenient target of ridicule. Son is about to learn a life lesson.
I’m sorry. People are shit.
Seconded. The only reason I use Google is if I actually want an ad served to me.
Depends on if you are on a big endian or little endian architecture.
Common misconception… Unsigned booleans (ubool) are always 16-bits.
01111111 = true
11111111 = negative true = false
So are all the leaders at my company.
Confidence is promoted over competence every time.
Nothing wrong with appreciating a strong woman. However, that sounds terrifying.

“So you’re the one who’s fouled up my engine designs.”
Never been so turned on in my life.
Why is this posted as humor? Seriously, this is how anyone actually seeking a job should directly translate those phrases.
I love this platform. Reasonable conversations with reasonable people. You’ve given me hope, internet stranger. Keep being awesome.
That only goes so far… Being a part of ending democracy and the future for everyone including his own descendants doesn’t get a pass just because he raised a kid.
As for the tone, I would guess OP knows their father better than any of us. I certainly wouldn’t speak to my own father like that but maybe that’s their usual style of banter.
If my own child talked to me like that we’d be done texting and the next conversation would be face to face. Very face to face. But, I hope I’d have the self awareness to at least consider they might have a point.
This so much. If you can’t articulate it I’m going to make sure it stays your problem, not mine.
Just left the same comment. It was surreal for the few moments you were on the bridge.
The other thing I remember vividly is the poor guy who ran up to one of the actors who was in full Klingon costume. The guy belted out some phrase in Klingon you know he had been rehearsing for weeks and stood there, proud and expectant. The actor glared down at him and in forceful English said, “I do not speak that dialect, human.”
I’ve never seen someone’s dreams be shattered so visibly and thoroughly in so short a time.
Seems like a missed opportunity. That is definitely “stop sign”.
