Yesterday I walked into target with my brother and said something along the lines of "I'd rather go to jury duty than shop at target." I wonder if their creepy surveillance tech knows I said it. I was going there to pick up m

Clothing comes to mind, that's also the only case I've ever received something in just a white plastic bag. Basically, you choose why you're returning. In some cases if you say something other than "the item was defectiv

Apple does not make Macs for developers, they only care about "creative professionals" - which technically should include developers, but their definition only includes people who produce/edit video and pictures. When was the

The idea that you need to make 3x the income of rent is kinda asinine and unreasonable in the first place.

I would guess the measurement is more like how much dirt and dust is involved with a car driving driving down the road. Like brake dust, tire stuff.. and then that stuff being kicked up from the road surface by other cars and so on. And yes

That kinda explains why NASA projects are always outright petrified at the idea of accepting -any- risk at all.

Oh but dude! They need the analytics to tell them how you're using the app. So they can see how you're touching the screen. What things you pause on. What notifications you might be getting meanwhile. What other apps are on your p

Or they could straight up say "no, we're calling this a brand new plane now and it has to meet modern certifications instead of being granted grandfathered status on things"

Admittedly, back in the day if you got on a bus or train, everyone was reading books, magazines, and newspapers anyway.

Question for ya: Are the outsider recruiters of any use? I've been contacted by them before but I get the impression you're better off just applying.

The company has to settle for the fact that they're not the top 3 companies of all time, too. XD

Man, Apple keeps giving reasons not to use MacOS on a silver platter lately, both to me, and worse yet, my employer. But using Linux on a laptop sucks. Especially if your workplace uses Dell exclusively. :(

The only way to make an open office tolerable is to give its inhabitants a lot of space. You can resist the temptation to cram people in by giving them really big desks. My comfort level is, if I can smell my coworkers, then we're sitt

I always wonder what the HR person would get all upset over a gap for? Can someone tell me about the time they rejected a candidate because they had a gap in their employment? lol :D I mean why do they care. If I save up money and take a ye

They do, but it's hard to get a replacement for my 1070ti. :( The rx580s are reasonably priced and have a good rep for being reliable! But compared to a 1070ti they are less capable. A vega 56/64 would be perfect, but they're

Out here Starbucks has been building/opening a ton of new places lately, some of which are replacing old ones. The new ones are strictly outdoor seating.

They can be if the SaaS is really really simple. I'm imagining stuff like what used to be $25 shareware that the owner now charges $10 a year for.

Plus what kinda cup-of-coffee are we talking here? A pack of coffee costs me ~$7 and will last me at least a few dozen cups! Even if I count a generous amount of creamer, that's $3-4 a bottle and should be good for at least a dozen cup

Aside from a hospital or a life-or-death situation, I can't think of any other time where screaming in a workplace would ever be remotely acceptable. Ever.

Holy shit, I'm surprised they care THAT much about start date/end date. Like.. seriously? WTF? That's insane lol.

The cameras are also a great deterrent just for being there. After installing some on our vacation house, our gardener told us there's almost never junk flyers anymore.

I have yet to see the last one lol. The tradespeople here still use the clipboard case that has their forms inside, sometimes with carbon paper. And they all seem to take cash or checks. XD

I think of the iPad as a computer the same way I think of visual basic as a programming language. It may make 95% of things easy, but that 5% is a real pain!

I bought a cheap ring doorbell for our vacation house and indeed, it's a piece of junk. The picture quality is atrocious lol. However, it and the other cameras I have (including an actually decent one in the entryway) almost eliminated

Word! I never really installed much on my smartphone to begin with. If you ask me, a lot of services and app developers have this horrible sense of entitlement to all kinds of information about their users. It creeps me out.
