Yes that. Also it's quite a mess, which makes stuff like this much harder than it should be. I'm still using X11 on my Linux box and am quite happy with it.

To be completely fair it's 2007 Windows NT they haven't caught up with.

Damage done. The next frontier is getting all our shit out of reach of these companies/models/platforms and putting them back on prem.

It's mostly for security reasons. Both supply chain and secrecy.

20-40% capacity. Reserve available. Turnaround same day on a board (2 layer). Next day 4 layer. Two days exotic (rogers etc). Pick, place, soldered 2 days or delivered to lab immediately after panel cut. If they had a fast production run in

Actually I didn't know he was a prick. I'm not sure he is either - I haven't checked. I just really really don't like Ruby or Rails. Ruby is like someone mashed up python and perl whilst on cocaine one day.

My favourite part of Django is it's not Rails :)

I did that. Then got a refund immediately. Then quit Steam and never played another fucking game. Then sold the gaming PC. Moved to board games which are tangible and I can play with friends. Extreme? Perhaps but it’s better for me.

This is totally wrong. Some machines are capability amplifiers. Other machines are shit puking buck passing time sinks.

Yeah have this too. I created a spreadsheet called “slop” and add the name to the list and redirect all queries to their engineering manager. I’m not wasting my time on that shit.

I’d suggest anyone knee deep in AI reads the comments on this one. Then remember that they’re your market and customers. It has got to the point it’s poison outside the niche tech bubble.

That's what I was running for the best part of 8 years until last year. Was very reliable. In the end I just cleaned out all my shit and got rid of it. Less is more.

The day I have to negotiate and persuade the machine to stop talking shit rather than command it is the day I decide fuck it and go and farm geese or something. Smells like today. I’ll take goose shit over this.

A better solution is just leech the content and stick it on a generic USB flash stick.

We really haven’t. It’s always been this bad. For me I’m a late adopter. I’ve seen more things go than stay. I’ll wait until the industry has stabilised or evaporated before making a decision. It’ll save me time and money.

Don’t think so. I just exported all files to jpeg 90% into the Lightroom library folder structure. Then moved all the RAWs to an archive disk. I just add any directories I want to do edits on into the Darktable library.

Another +1 for this. I just replaced Lightroom with it after several years. So much happier.
