It’s the opposite. Limitations foster creativity. Those old computers and game consoles could do amazing things when people wanted to do something. Now you didn’t have to think about what you’re doing, just expect the user to have high end equipment and a super high speed Internet connection. It’s the equivalent to saying you need a trophy truck in order to go over the road you just built because it’s too shitty for a regular car to drive on.
So there’s this company called flock safety. They provide license plate cameras for the majority of police departments in the US. They’re talking about providing another service in order to do traffic analysis. It won’t be too long until they start selling data to advertising companies. You would say, so what they can’t know who I am based on a licence plate. Guess what? If you go to a gas station they could take a picture of your license plate and corelate it with your credit card in order to find your name. Imagine driving down the road and having targeted ads on a billboard.
I usually use Ubuntu containers because it has more packages by default and then I don’t have to worry about dependencies so much.
Just shift the password descriptions a few spots compared to the passwords, then you’ll get email about failed logins as a canary.
You’re better off with random different passwords for each service written on a sticky note than using the same password/email combofor multiple accounts.
Most people don’t work in a comfy office with access to a printer.
If it’s under 50 lbs just sell it on eBay. Way less hassle, unless your account is brand new, then you’ll have a bunch of scammers trying to message you.
Marketplace and local groups for the tea.
That’s why companies went to that model, it prevents favoritism since some Managers and supervisors would penalize certain people for doing something like that. It keeps other people from taking advantage of that kind of situation and using it to dump their work onto everyone else.
There a difference between PTO and days off. With PTO you can take just a few hours or even fractions of hours off, rather than having to take full days. PTO is also accrued for hours worked, often days off are rewarded at certain times is the year, either your anniversary date or first of the year
From my experience it depends on if your boss is able to manage expectations and is willing to say no. I once had a boss that would say yes to everything management asked, last minute jobs, tons of extra work, plus he would try to do a bunch of stuff himself. Then he got replaced with a guy that would go into the morning management meeting and give them realistic timelines. He would also trust us to do the work we were there to do and leave us to it. Everything went much smoother after that.
The recruiter made a big deal out of the possibility of advancement later on as quite a few people will be retiring in the next few years. It’s still a very low level role and she talked in an unnatural corporate way, in not sure that it wasn’t an ai phone interview to be honest. They’re both manufacturers, but my current place is an assembly line and the new place would be small scale manufacturing where highly specialized parts are machined to order. I would be involved in various aspects across the facility, so I would have opportunities to learn everything about their processes and work closely with everyone from operators to engineers and management.
I would eventually like to work in something like continuous improvement and do more office work so I’m not stuck turning wrenches in my 40s and 50s.
Fuck Google and their phones, I got fucked by the 5a screen problem just after the warranty expired.
You can just use remote desktop into Windows. I used to have a headless PC setup with a GPU so that my wife could play Sims 4 over the network on her ancient laptop from the couch.
Definitely don’t forget about Christmas decorations. A decent Christmas tree is at least a few hundred. My wife has the Hallmark Hogwarts Castle and all five characters that go on the tree. I checked them on eBay and they sell for around $650.
I just replicated it by opening a second app. It doesn’t seem to do it every time.
How about if I go away from the mobile app and then go back into it, then it doesn’t reload the page I was just on. I can still see where I was until I click it, why do you need to reload it? Fuckin’ bullshit.
Not checking in with someone if we made plans. My wife will ask if I texted my family to see if we’re still doing the thing we planned. If I make plans with someone, then I’m going unless they tell me is cancelled. My family could make plans for 12 years from now and we’d all be there a little earlier than the time we said we would be there.
