“oh nice we’re also having issues with random packets being dropped, can you look into that? It’s business critical”

How much weight did you put on

That last part, that’s what sandboxie is for

Interesting, I still weight 116kg so climbing isn’t an option for me but I would have expected it to make the wrist injuries worse

It’s all fun and games until you realize modern farm equipment has more shitty tech in it than the datacenters you’re running away from

I never understood techies that do climbing, how are their wrists not completely fucked adding that kind of exercise to the usual tech problems??

Make tons of money as a software dev and get a big collection of tools and retire early to Spend the rest of your days as far away from software as you can

You’ve never worked retail have you

But they were arguing that it’s personal preference not that one is better than the other

I’ve always been surprised to find all the ATMs in my country run different versions of windows (XP, Vista, 7)

Like even from purely an accountant point of view, if you’re using some shitty proprietary software why wouldn’t you implement it in an OS that doesn’t require commercial licences???

Interesting, maybe I’m just used to living in south America where even the crap German cars are better than the “premium” Brazilian and Indonesian cars we get

Seriously curious here, what cars would you consider not to be shitty?

Comparing bad to bad doesn’t make any of them better lol

GitHub has bad UX for a lot of things

Like when they claim your smart thermostat is now “AI powered” despite the fact it’s the same exact product it was 2 years ago

The reason why chat gpt 3.5 is still great for anything previous to it’s cutoff date. It’s not constantly being updated with new garbage

Fuck man why do you do this to me I have to work tomorrow and I spent an hour and a half on this

“git gud”, the exact rhetoric that causes people to stay away from Linux and in the hands of Microsoft despite them making their products worse year over year

I use it both for my home teather PC and for my work PC and I consistently run into those kind of issues

Yeah because the Nvidia drivers work totally fine and have no issues whatsoever
