Same thing happened to me. I actually replaced the power supply with a 35 year old HP bench supply for a week to compare.

Not that easy. They have a battery management controller which contains cell charge data and a fuse which bricks the pack if it’s not handled properly. Have a good look around on the internet.

I use Zen and when there was a cable cut between the cabinet and my house recently, between them and OpenReach we were back online the next day. Had zero problems in the last 5 years.

Indeed. Although now I just fire up an instance in AWS for a bit if we need to play with something. But I rarely if ever touch windows now past using it as a shell for some electron apps and terminals :)

I got an MCAD once because my employer was offering it for free. This was so they could secure a "partner" status and get a license discount. That's mostly why people bothered with it. It was completely no use whatsoever. I

That’s quite funny. I used it nigh on 20+ years ago on sun boxes with Motif UI. Does it still suck balls after all this time?

Yes github actually fucked me up with the whole master/main thing the other day. I was trying to push a local repo I had been working on for a few days to a new github repo. Cost me an hour of head scratching until I realised what the

They don’t. They do however have a policy of closing down tickets which are unpopular after beating customers down. Like the whole CLR telemetry thing.

UK here. It’s really not sensitive. 99% of us are quite happy with words having different meanings based on context. The other 1% seem to worry about this and welcome an age of newspeak and book burnings. I know who I’m afraid of.

They left it somewhere on Gopher. I am at this point considering charging web sites for my compute.

I have enough problems dealing with time on this planet. This is going to break a lot of software and software developers instantly :)

From experience they will and it’ll also be a foot deep in cow shit (I do a lot of walking in U.K.). That needs to be listed on the routes. Common hazards and inconveniences such as flooding need to be listed. I had to Wade knee deep in slu

True. Most of my living room is made out of the paper stuff. The non white laminates are pretty good.

Quality is pretty good if you stay away from the economy white stuff. That gets chipped, wears quickly and gets dirty easily

Yes. CTO-2 is my approach. As the CTO I fucked up because I didn't have that process in place to start with. To buck stops at me. CTO-2 also has the responsibility of making sure that everyone is educated on this issue and can communic

Well you can also apply a QMS if you want but all that does is generate paperwork full of accepted risks...

I think my point is probably being misunderstood and that is my fault for explaining it poorly. See I fucked up :) The fear I speak of is a personal barrier which is lacking in a lot of people. They can sleep quite happily at night knowin

The point is that if you take responsibility then you're taking pride in your work, are invested in it and willing to invest in self-improvement and introspection rather than doing the minimum to get to a minimum viable solution. The o

That's a tad ironic is it not? All I am calling for is people to take responsibility.
442.
by qz2 6y ago
No. There’s a third option where people accept responsibility and are rewarded for that rather than hide from it one way or another. I have a modicum of respect for people who do that. I don’t for people who shovel it under a rug or point a

I’m not talking about fear culture. It’s a more personal thing. Call it risk management culture if that helps which is the inverse. Manual is wrong for a start. That would increase the probability of making a mistake and thus increase risk

by qz2 6y ago
That’s precisely my point. A lot of people have no fear because they’re complacent or ignorant rather than the button is well engineered. But to get there you need to fear the bad outcomes.

Completely. Not just storage but we need to work on energy efficiency as well. We just smoke a huge amount of our generated energy.

I await our idiotic governments taxing it heavily to support dying petroleum industries next.

I disagree. Culturally speaking we like to pat people on their back when they do something stupid and comfort them. But most of the time this isn’t productive because it doesn’t instil the requisite fear required when working out what decis

Oh dont get me started on USB-C. My T470 has a broken USB-C after my wife tripped over the cable. Fortunately it has an old style thinkpad charger hole. My T495s has two USB-C ports which I'm hoping will last out the lifetime of the de
