will eventually

You’re looking for “may eventually”. We’re not anywhere near this so using it as a current argument is rather silly.

Obviously the way to combat this is to organize dozens or more people who just walk around, load up shopping carts, then leave the store without buying anything. They can pay people to put everything back.

I believe it’s a Crowdstrike EDR software update pushed through a windows update that caused the outage, which is definitely not a consumer solution.

Having had something to do with endpoint management in my past life, this is exactly the reason why we roll out updates gradually, and not to everyone all at once. My current employer did this the right way, and we had like 20% of the endpoints blue screen and we could actually function today while we worked through the issue.

Can you trust whatever AI you use, implicitly? I already know the answer, but I really want to hear people say it. These AI hype men are seriously promising us capabilities that may appear down the road, without actually demonstrating use cases that are relevant today. “Some day it may do this, or that”. Enough already, it’s bullshit.

recall taking screenshots periodically

Seriously, you didn’t get through the first paragraph?

the notion of a tool that silently takes a screenshot of your desktop every five seconds”

Saying “periodically” is a pretty trivial way of putting it.

Microsoft and Adobe fighting each other over who gets enshittification of the decade award. Sam Altman is probably crafting a victory speech about what chatGPT 12 might possibly be able to do, someday. The sooner all this snake oil hype crashes and burns, the better off we’ll all be.

This isn’t solving any problem, this is yet another mask to push content advertisements in front of people.

That looks better.

Do words just not fucking mean anything anymore? What exactly does “maven” have to do with any of this? Is everyone treated like an expert at everything? Is that how it works?

The entire tech industry is tiring, bullshit, and I’m exhausted with all of it.

However, what if it were possible to hail a small electric vehicle right when you needed it – via a taxi- or Uber-style app

Uber style app. Seriously, fuck no. Send trains or don’t, fuck Uber and their business model.

So…mercilessly incinerated to a pile of ashes?

In this case, customer service is giving roughly 80% / 95% discounts. Which I think bolsters your point even further.

Just curious here, because I don’t really know how this works - will they have to disclose how many shares they sold to power users prior to the IPO? I’d love for that number to be as close to zero as possible.

“Losing free labor will hurt our business”

-signed, the plantation owner who made $193,000,000 last year

It’s biz insider, not sure what anyone expected here.

I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do about that. I started WFH in 2017 after the global company I worked for moved headquarters and offered me the option to work from home.

For context, I started as an entry level CSR, with a GED and no college degree. I still don’t have a college degree but with over 15 years of experience, I make great money in a low COL area. It can be done, but it takes work. It’s certainly not for everyone.

Remote work. I could never get around these interactions in an office, but remotely, I can stretch out the IM replies to slow the people down. Then they generally move on to someone else to get instant gratification when other people answer them faster than I do.

I wasn’t swearing at anyone. Was my reply wrong? The only way tech companies tech take notice is if people don’t use their services when they’re unhappy with it.

Just stay off YouTube for a fucking month. Or even a week. If the traffic plummets, then we win. Why’s it so hard to understand this?

Hell, make it one day where nobody uses YouTube.

The upfront cost is a tough pill to swallow though. I drive a 20 year old Toyota SUV that I bought in 2018, and now has 190,000 miles. I bought it for $3,000 in 2018. In that time, I’ve personally replaced the radiator and brakes and changed the oil when it needs it, maybe twice a year since I use synthetic.

Sure, I’ll readily admit that my vehicle is terrible on gas mileage, but I work from home and drive about 5k miles per year on average. The initial cost of a new EV is a dealbreaker, let alone one that can handle 4 kids. And the thought of possibly having to suddenly replace a Li-Ion battery on a used one with degraded performance is a non-starter for me.

I’m not against EVs, and they certainly aren’t practical for everyone, yet at least. The dependability has to improve, and then I’d consider it. I still can’t see how it makes sense for a regular person like myself to dump $40k-$50k into a car because it doesn’t run on dinosaur juice. Especially in my situation.

Tesla’s build quality is shit anyways, on top of blaming drivers’ habits for their engineering mistakes and then refusing to fix it. Then there’s the fit and finish part of it, where the panel gaps don’t line up on this piece of shit $100k “truck”, that has no truck capabilities that apparently can’t drive in the snow. Elon Musk is a snake oil salesman, but I’d be willing to listen to an argument where I can get 5 years out of an EV for under $6k + the cost of gas.

Seriously, watt are they even doing?

Jesucristo. Can you guys just not use YouTube for like a month? Seriously, when they roll out unpopular features, just don’t fucking use it. Why is this all too hard to understand?
