No commentary on the fact that they launched them with a helium leak in the first place? Seriously? They found the problem and scrubbed a launch, only to go forward with it when they couldn't figure it out. WTF man.
Now the helium leak is worse, and you're just gonna give them a pass.
When one of your soldiers is worth ten of theirs, you know you've won this exchange.
I've tried to convince people that if we can have a No Nut November, we ought to be able to put together a No-Sales September or something. These mentally defective executives would absolutely go back to taking care of the customer if this were a practice.
Most of hacking is done by mass effort with maybe a couple percent of people that aren't doing basic things to protect themselves being affected. That couple of percent is enough to keep the hackers flush. (So please, follow basic cybersecurity steps, people.)
The plain truth of the matter, though, is that if a hacker or group of hackers is targeting someone individually for reasons, that person is in real trouble.
This has been a PSA for everyone chasing fame and clout.
A couple of years ago I had a conversation with a Haitian native on this very topic. While I deleted my reddit account and no longer have access to that conversation, the gist was...
Americans don't seem to understand that every time they swoop in to 'save' Haiti, what they are really doing is enforcing the same colonial ideals that landed Haiti in the mess to start with.
There's no politician in play down there that isn't on the take. His opinion was just to leave it alone and let the gangs sort it out. Either they'll pull together a government or the last gang standing will.
His statement had a lot more anger and quite a few expletives.. They're just sick of all of us, y'all.
Honestly I don't know why people wear headphones at all outside. I mean, I get we should all be able to hear our tunes or podcasts or whatever, but unawareness of your surroundings can change your life for the worse very quickly.
I seem to recall an ad for some product in the last couple years that still lets you hear what's around you with clarity while listening, though I can't seem to find it now.

The reviews are iffy on them though. idk, I just don't want noise cancellation until I'm someplace I'm going to be sitting in a long time that has sounds I don't want to hear.
Agreed 100%, but to be fair I knew which way the wind was blowing with this game back before release when they made that horrible yaw change to keep pvp 'engaging'.
The whole legs thing would have been a nice to have, though. Not being able to just stand up out of my chair was immersion breaking. Once upon a time I jumped through a whole lotta hoops to get it working with my VR headset and NGL, I cried when I drove my rover on Mars. It was that gorgeous. What struck me most was physically looking over my shoulder and seeing the tires of it kicking up dirt and leaving that telltale track on a world where nobody had ever been.
Then I realized I could never leave a bootprint. I think the worst punch to the gut with the space legs thing was not being able to do VR with it afterward. Like...wtf, there's just a very clear disconnect between what direction the ED devs took the game versus what the players wanted.
Another great story from our 'no shit' segment. Back to you Bob
I love how media is slowly moving away from "RTO is bullshit" to "It has some benefits but they're taking it too far". Next week it will be "What were we thinking? RTO is here to stay!"
As so many people have said, there's plenty of jobs where this isn't necessary at all. The conversation needs to stay focused on the flawed conceptions of corporate suits in an echo-chamber.
NGL I'm still a little salty at OWI only making the Extermination game after the Troopers Mod for Squad took off so hard. No credit to the hard work on that mod that rekindled the interest at all.
So it goes in the same bin as the last dozen 'features' they added that nobody wanted. Microsoft, do you even use your own product?
lmao just bought one of these last week! Glad the fix is already out.
And no, I didn't buy it for its looks xD It's actually a decent router that does additional things I needed.
Oh no.... they'd have to sell >.>
I've seen this over and over in corporate environments.
Suit A has a terrible idea but enough fawning bootlickers to get the process moving.
Worker A, an employee, knows this is a terrible idea but doesn't say anything because they wanna keep their job.
Contractor B, obv a contractor, is there to make money and hopefully turn their stint into something more, so they speak up. And get canned.
What is it about Suits that they can't listen to literally anyone but their own echo chambers? Oh yeah, they're angling to jump into a bigger echo chamber. The 1%.
My cake day is on a different instance but I have to say it's been a great year and I'm delighted to be here. =)
Because you can't pack it up in a box and ship it to just anyone. They have to make it specifically for you. Hence case-by-case.
