Yup, can confirm. Was trying to setup an Octoprint machine for my 3d printer, none of Raspberry Pi’s were in stock. After trying to catch one for weeks, I ended up buying the second-newest revision of OrangePi that was pretty powerful (not

In my case, all of the configs I described were desktop builds, as I am not willing to touch a windows laptop with a 10 foot pole again, and in general gaming is the last thing on my mind when considering a laptop.

Exactly. Competent recruiters and hiring managers at companies that I actually considered working for even explicitly told me to not waste my time on the cover letter (which was optional for their applications), unless I am a PhD with a lon

I think the assumption in that rule is that it applies only to cars that you want to have registered and drive on public roads. Naturally, if you want to drive your car on your own private property, you won’t need a valid registration or li

Same, but R9 380X back in college. Bang per buck it seemed better than NVidia. But despite my distaste for NVidia back then, after that experience, I resolved to never get an AMD GPU again unless things drastically change. Drivers would con

Partially agreed, but it is kind of a mixed bag. For someone who is already extremely good, they can deliver a killer performance even on a half-broken instrument. But for someone who is in the earlier stages of learning, this often just hi

This is more about paying attention to the context in which the phrase was said. A lot of things get confusing or might mean a total opposite of what you think they do, when the relevant context isn’t taken into the account. “Private market

“Private market will regulate it” in this context doesn’t mean “no rules, they will sort it out on their own”, but “we don’t care and don’t know how they will comply with that law, and we won’t assist them in any way either, they will figur

There is bias on both sides, and I never said otherwise. However, the one difference is that Blind team doesn’t remove comments and reviews critical of companies at request of those companies, while it has been public knowledge for a long t

Well, with Glassdoor it is much simpler: they are very trigger-happy to erase unfavorable ratings and comments upon a request from the company. It isn’t some conspiracy theory or a secret, it’s been known for a while, with plenty reporting

They already do, and in a very intuitive way - it is called a properly implemented brake pedal. For example, on Teslas, hitting the brake pedal to the floor automatically overrides any other input and cuts off motor torque, and iirc they ha
