I've genuinely never gotten any flack about the whole imessage vs sms thing, but I've also thrown in the towel for one particular reason: OS updates. Most Android manufacturers only give you 2 major versions, maybe 3 in the best c

Back in October the company contracting me decided to terminate my contract. I then got picked up by a different contract, through the same agency, with the same company, just with a different role and at a different campus, with a pay bump

What cheap, near-zero config wifi APs have worked well for you? I'm looking for something simpler than ubiquiti for my house.

To be fair I used the word "should", as in I believe that it would be best practice, at least from the perspective of user experience, to operate below the OS. If that were the case, input switching wouldn't be dependent on t

The speed and reliability of the OS. I should be able to change inputs even if the TV OS is unresponsive, which is not uncommon on some smart TVs. If the smart TVs you're using are fast enough and reliable enough that you aren't h

I don't see how this changes anything. At every non-tech job I've ever had there was no salary negotiation, I either took what was offered or I didn't get the job.

Something like input switching should operate below the OS.

by kingrazor 4y ago
One thing I hate is when things like input switching are part of the TV OS. It can turn something that should be fast and easy into something slow and glitchy.

Google search is how I was able to learn how to do the jobs I've been doing for the past few years. Fixing one problem at a time by googling it.

Maybe this says more about the devs I've worked with than devs as a whole, but most devs I've personally met know next to nothing about servers, and wouldn't be able to set one up if you asked them.

I made my career using google search and it has changed pretty significantly from the early 2010s. There was a point where it would seemingly scour the entire web for whatever string of text I entered, but now it tries so hard to give me wh

I like their SSDs, and haven't had any Samsung ram modules fail, but yeah, for anything else, I avoid the brand.

Nanometers has been a meaningless measurement for a long time now, ever since it stopped referring to the actual size of the transistors.

I'm from the US. While there are certainly people that use it, I don't personally know anyone that uses Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram, etc... as their primary method of text communication. Nearly everyone I personally know uses iMess

Their initial installation and setup documentation was what I found difficult. Having very little experience setting up boot partitions and file systems at the time, the instructions were quite vague. I wound up having to go outside the Arc

Purely in regards to the initial install of the OS. I wound up having to go outside the Arch install wiki to other sources to figure out what to do. It seemed written for someone who already had a pretty thorough understanding of setting up

I struggled quite a bit with Arch. I found the documentation quite confusing and it seemed incomplete, and getting support was quite difficult. Manjaro provided a very easy way to try Arch. If the process to install Arch had been easier, I

I use one for two reasons. One is that it puts a layer between my purchase and my bank. Any fraudulent purchases can be dealt with before any money is taken from my account. The second is for the rewards and the ability to build credit.

I started using hover after they sponsored a podcast I like. They've been pretty pleasant to work with but I only use it for my podcast. Not sure what they're like to deal with as a business hosting a production website.

I was 19 at the time and had only recently entered the workforce. I lost my part time, minimum wage job that year. Otherwise I didn't notice any significant impact on my life or the lives of my family and friends. At the time it seemed

I can expect anyone who has a cell phone to be able to receive SMS. When I first started using a cell phone in 2007, that's all that was available. Or at least, it's all I knew that was available. Every phone I've owned since

I could rant for a long time about notifications. I spend a lot of time curating them. I have them outright disabled on most apps on my phone. I don't allow any desktop notifications on my PC. I've dealt with facebook notification

I wonder about the option of having an unlocked dedicated development machine that has no or very limited access to network resources but minimal security software in addition to a locked down laptop for email, slack/teams, etc...

I was hoping to buy a new car this year but frankly, there's nothing wrong with my 2012 Nissan Altima right now. I'm going to wait and hope that this craziness subsides soon.

I also had no degree and wound up working for a small software company as an IT "intern" which quickly lead to being their sole IT person. That company was also a complete shit-show, but had I not worked there I wouldn't have

Another option if you don't mind running your own server is Mesh Central. It's open source as well. I've personally met the developer and he's a very knowledgeable and likeable person, if that means anything.

Odd then that I've only in 1 out of a few hundred cases ever had to disable it after install in order to not have it run.

I don't know what to tell you. Only going off my own experience. Maybe things have changed since Kaby Lake. Most of my systems are Kaby Lake or older. I only have the one comet lake Dell and at this point can't actually recall how
