It’s in the photo though.

“By telephone” - that there shows the bias in the survey. Younger and more informed people ignore unknown calls due to the risk of social engineers.

I really wonder sometimes if my company hasn’t hired anyone in 5 years due to saving $$$ or because they’re afraid to field test younger employees. I do video subsciption customer service, tech regarding pc/mobile/streaming/proprietary, internet, and retention. Your video is buffering, on your Firetv, not the Roku in your office, but yeah, it’s not your shit 802.11g wifi, it’s the app. Yes, we know it’s our app. Actually, only a handfull of people state issues, but yeah, we’re concealing that from everyone. I really wish people would learn basic technical skills or at least think logically. Just because your internet supports downloading emails doesn’t mean that 4k stream is going to work.

Used to work at ATT. They used a goddamn dictionary tool for their abbreviations. And some were used for five things or more. You had to read them in context to differentiate. A damn nightmare.

To be fair, I read little nowadays, but audiobooks where I can listen to seties while doing laundry, or trash, or DIY projects… I blasted through Cosmere 2 years ago, plus the Dresden series, Noobtown, DCC, Demon Mart, He Who Fights with Monsters last year, and this year (and past two months) the Wandering Inn series (Book 12 now). I enjoy books far more than film and tv, mostly due to speed at which I can devour the content (1.75x usually).

You are describing the eating habits of groundhogs. They destroy just to destroy. Other animals take a few butes on one plant at a time. But those giant rats just chop shit down and repeat. I leave wildlife alone in general, but the first time these assholes manage to bypass the garden defenses they are taken out.

It’s kinda ironic that a streaming service that used piracy sites to bid on movies to add to their library is now becoming the monopoly that will push people back to piracy.

It makes more sense if you’ve ever drawn in CAD. Top view, x and y. Now side view, y and z or y and x. You look down on x and y, and if you are extruding you now create the z axis dimensions. For the people who draft on the side axis: you are true psychos (ok, unless you’re using a lathe I suppose, or if the silhouette is more defined from the side… ok maybe not psycho, just odd)

I liked Atlantis. Universe seemed to be barely connected in terms of story. I confess I watched like 2 episodes.

“I’m telling you the sign said $50. You will sell it to me for $50!” click “What did you just say?” “I said - oh wait I only have 4 bullets left and the Karen neighbor is at it again… Nevermind.”

If we don’t attempt democratic socialism then capitalism will bring absolute poverty to the economy (we’re already so close, but people aren’t eating leather yet), which will lead to revolt, rebellion, and lots of death. Then a most likely scenario will be Communism, where things will likely look good at first, then quickly fall backwards. Then more revolt, then fractured states. We’re about 50 years away from being the Northern States of America, with all kinds of squabbles, different laws, sketchy trade deals, etc. All this will likely end in the worst scenario: Texas is claimed by Mexico and Texans will all be refugees fleeing to other states.

Google would be the worst partner for any space related work. We plan on launching in 4 years. Oh, Google says they redesigned it, oh, now it needs updates. 3 years, 11 mo later… Google cancelled the program, we need to find another partner.

Can someone ELI5 me why DNS is such a fucking cancer with VPNs? My work machine uses VPNs and my home network, my server, etc, no probs whatsoever. I can ping outside all damn day. But to get DNS to work on my work pc sometimes I have to restart my home network to get DNS to work on the machine. I can’t wrap my head around that.

The Indian Ocean most likely.

Even at home. I do one usb backup and one internal backup of photos, home videos and documents. I would love to make backups of other stuff, but I can replace a lot of the other crap if need be, because hard drives kinda stalled in price drops.

10 years and no one bothered to pull some information at random? I mean generally companies have a schedule of assessments to ensure records. Even if it’s as simple as checksum.

And it was all over setting up kiwix for me. It now overshadows Paperless in complexity. Now I need to find more things to play with, with no intention of using them for anything other than learning.

As an OMV user, most of my time starting a container is troubleshooting the compose syntax (delete tabs, replace with spaces, is it " or ’ ?) I recently discovered that some containers create a user by default with no way of specifying another user and since it’s a container it doesn’t register to the host, meaning that setting file permissions and accessing via smb is oh so much joy. But every struggle is a new fount of knowledge.

The only thing LLMs have contributed so far for me is that with my phone job I no longer have to note accounts. It listens, it writes a summary (90% of the time). So far I’ve been instructed to leave the accounts void of notes regardless unless I feel something super important should be added. So nope, you bought the shit. If it works, great, if not, not my fault. I will take breathes between calls now instead of panic typing notes in 10s between calls. It is kinda cool to see the summaries though. It’s definitely trained on clear English though. It hates foreign dialects and LA and MO southern accents. To be fair though, I barely comprehend 80% of people with Cajun accents, and piece together based on context.

My actual desk and office - messy. My desktop - folder, folder, 4 shortcuts. My phone -groups of apps ordered by function - Pebble, Office, Entertainment, etc. My garage - absolute hoarder nightmare from hell cause I just can’t seem to get to it. Why I can be ordered in one area and not in another is beyond me.
