Don't forget that in ubertechland if you complain about sexual harassment or racism, you get punished! And your only recourse is to complain about it in social media. Or hire a lawyer and go bankrupt. Much better than unions! Also, uni

It says that Amazon had cameras pointed at the mailbox, so all Amazon has to do is hand over every single second of footage they took. I'm sure they have nothing to hide.

Before the council cut down the gum tree, they used to deliberately drop branches on me when I was outside. Any they could bite through, up to maybe 1.5cm thick, they would wait until I walked around the car then drop them on my head, and s

We use spreadsheets to manage data that would 1000% be better suited for storage in a database (and extracted the data would be sooooo much simpler than my monthly half day job of updating management reports). Why? Because we don't hav

And there is no such thing as a guaranteed job, or job for life. My parents are boomer generation, and their friends insist that their kids are too lazy to work and should just march into a business and speak to the boss for work. The world

It's probably because baby boomers were the generation most effected by lead poisoning. Their children don't have the associated brain damaged that causes the impulse control, lack of reasoning and irrational anger, and they see t

I wrote documentation for software that replaced set rules with a library that would determine the 'strength' of a password and only accept strong passwords. My feedback was 'this is bullshit, I've have 40 passwords reje

It runs Linux, and they could have at least opened up the firmware for opensource updating. WDs response to Windows 10 blocking network access because the My Clouds use an old version of SMB is to buy a new one (and trash working equipment)

Your only justification for forcing people to come to your office is to suit your needs. If a role can be done successfully 100%, people like you need to think about others before you start supporting upsetting someone else's lifestyle

Google changed YouTube monitisation so that videos had to be over a certain length to make money. Short to the point videos mean that the creator gets zip, so padding with unnecessary crap is the way to big bucks. So it's totally, 100%

I have a rule that helps me be a decent human being. Automate to make my jobs easy, never automate someone else's job. Too many hot shot software developers think that putting someone out of a job is a good thing

What a stupid suggestion. If a company cannot be trusted to fix a simple billing issue, I sure as hell wouldn't trust their choice of random foreign company that for some reason they want me to send money to to fix their mistake. This

Given that Google has a history of accidentally breaking things in YouTube that only impacts Firefox, I'm 100% certain they can be trusted to muck around in apps written by others. Think of the opportunities. Next time Google releases

Can't wait for the deaths during bushfires when the phone network is down but your car won't start because it's time to check the licensing server. There have already been examples where hire cars are stuck in parking garages
