Sounds like shithole company behavior at its finest, who cares about responding to support queries after all? Cheaper to not backfill vacant support positions than engage with actually supporting your products.

The baby bells, especially Verizon lean heavily on automation and self serve tooling, its how they keep shedding employees year after year despite increasing revenue. Verizon on the Wireless side has so little bloat compared to AT&T fro

The Chipotle and Wendy's apps and websites have nearly the same issue, and Chipotle won't let you even call your local store anymore, it just goes to a useless AI Chatbot.

Only in states that permit CBP to operate inland checkpoints. California banned the practice a few decades ago, you can see where the CBP used to operate checkpoints between San Diego and Los Angeles as you drive north along the freeway.

Legal structures and especially state or state sponsored entities in Canada work much differently than in the US. The ICBC has a literal state sponsored monopoly over car insurance, titling a vehicle and driver licensing, whereas in the US

ROCm's software stack runs on what feels like Ubuntu LTS only (good luck on Debian or derivatives!), you need very specific PyTorch versions that work with ROCm (no running the bleeding edge easily), and running an old UEFI version (eg

If your prior employer kept you for half a decade before you departed for Amazon, and the employer after Amazon keeps you for years, yet your stint at Amazon lasts under 2 years, that failure reflects on Amazon. Spending the money to recrui

Amazon is a turn and burn employer at its heart. I've watched dozens of friends and acquaintances work there, rarely making it past 2 years, only to leave for less caustic organization thereafter. Unless your willing to put up with a h

I see some 5G New Radio routers shipping with 12 volt 1 amp power supplies, and others with 12 volt 2 amp power supplies, so 12 to 24 watts at most. Its impressive that you can get a gigabit, WiFi 6 capable router with a new Qualcomm 5G&#x2

The iPhone isn't using bleeding edge 5G and doesn't let you lock to 5G Standalone, from what I have seen on Android using 5G Standalone (which nixes bonding with LTE) gets rid of most of the jitter that causes data connection lag.

So they put 3 Qi charging coils on sliders or motors for auto-alignment and are charging $300 for it? Who would buy this product given how inexpensive most Qi chargers are? Also, did they make an effort to avoid interference and overheating

The codecs and narrow frequencies used on most public safety trunked radio networks is truly terrible. IMBE and AMBE+2 should have never made it past Y2K, yet Motorola and Project 25 have ensured these remain in widespread use on these netw

What about Mastodon isn't interoperable with other ActivityPub services? IIRC Pleroma and other ActivityPub implementations play nice together with Mastodon in a fully federated manner. Its been like this for half a decade already.
