There are also Pika in North America.

thank god we didn’t see a massive wave in inflation out of that.

Where are you that hasn’t seen massive inflation since COVID?

I think they conflated multimode with DWDM.

Dry them with a Kimwipe. It’s what they’re made for and they’re really good at it.

I recently bought a Mac Mini because music production on Linux had me fighting my tools more than using them. My Linux box is a 7800x3d/7800xtx. The Mini idles at 4w, while the 78000xtx alone idles closer to 50w. I use the mini for everything non-gaming now.

I haven’t thought about H*R in a loooooong time. Thank you.

Excellent point. I’m sure the guy who edited user comments couldn’t have un-modded himself at any given point.

Was that while he was a moderator of /r/jailbait?

You worked for a shifty nonprofit. There are plenty of good ones out there, they just tend not to be the family foundations, pomeranian rescues or mega nonprofits that sponsor events all over the place all the time.

My guess is Switch 2 shares enough architecture with OG Switch that games for one run on the other. This is why Nintendo has been going after Switch emulators - they’re already better than Switch 2 at being Switch 2.

Imagine if they ditched the second screen for a dedicated keyboard and track pad! It would be a portable productivity machine.

Nice info! A few notes:

Volts are not energy. Volts are a component of electrical energy. The drop in voltage is because of the additional load on the circuit that the charger represents. Energy losses come out as heat. If something gets hot while it’s doing its job and its job is not to heat things it means that it’s got a loss of energy somewhere. I’d bet that the charger warms up in use, and the loss is likely greater than the 1.75% loss that you were thinking you had with the voltage sag.

L1 charging is less efficient for a few reasons, but the biggest increase you get in efficiency from the L2+ charges is time. Triple the charge rate gets you full in an afternoon rather than overnight. But then you can parlay that into cost savings by timing your charge to off-peak times and charge up on cheaper electricity, if it is available in your area.

Electric cars do have an easily measurable range drop in cold weather for the reasons you outlined. Gas cars really shine in cold weather because not only do they not perform measurable worse in terms of range when the thermometer drips, but they also make their own heat, ALL THE TIME. In electric cars you have to use battery power to heat both the battery and the cabin, which is yet another drain on range. But, that gas combustion heat is loss in the summer when you’re not using it. Like the waste from your charger, but this time it also comes with emissions.

One of the benefits of having a number of middle managers leave is a few of the folks in the trenches get a chance to move up. Two of my team members were there in management through 2023, which is a number of years after everything went down. I don’t know what their compensation looks like, but I know they must have gotten a 15% bump at the least jumping up during the exodus. They were the last two from the staff still at the company.

Only if he shows me that he wasn’t destroying the company, but building networks to leverage crises into profit.

Which, it would seem, is what he and the rest of the C-suite team did.

They bought out the old owners and signed up a bunch of new customers that we didn’t understand how to work with (new industries with different requirements, we were very specialized toward a few professions and our staff’s knowledge and skills reflected that). They also brought in fresh, inexperienced people to manage the clients, so we didn’t really get very good on-boarding results and didn’t generate good documentation for the help desk to work off of. Right off the bat we did a bad job for these new customers and it took us a long time to do it, while our long-time customers had their wait times go up by an unacceptable amount.

My team was running at their limits, but I was not allowed to let up at all because we needed to get the tickets down. 9 hours days were the minimum, 9.5-10 were the norm. We hadn’t hired any new people when we added the new clients and the new clients generated tickets at 1.75x the of rate existing clients, and they were still signed up more. After months of begging, they hired two people for Tier-3 positions without testing them technically. They were both from corp call centers and had previously read scripts with troubleshooting steps on them. Neither had ever logged into a router. This is where I quit.

Within four months of my departure (and a few others at my level around the same time, we had all had enough) the company had lost 30% of their clients, two of which were huge 250-person entities that were cash cows for biling. Four months later the owner-operators sold the whole thing to another company, getting high level jobs, equity and cash out of it. As far as I know they’re all still working for the bigger company. Even if they lost money buying and selling, chances are they’re on top in the long run.

This makes me want to call up the former CTO of the MSP I worked for who disagreed with me when I said TP-Link and other consumer hardware was a risk we shouldn’t let our customers take and tell him that he’s a miserable drunk who destroyed a company by taking a role he had no business in.

The AI ecosystem is flooded, we need a good bubble pop to slow down the massive waste of resources that our current info-remix-based-on-what-you-will-likely-react-positively-to shit-tier AI represents.

People don’t clean their phones? I clean mine every time I clean my glasses. If the glasses are dirty, it’s a safe bet the phone could use a rub down with some isopropyl on a Kimwipe.

Unrelated, if you wear glasses and haven’t used Kimwipes to clean them you are missing out. Soap and water, isopropyl on Kimwipe, dry Kimwipe.

I want a slide out keyboard like on my G1.
