Pretty much all the reasons I can't stand most 3D Printing communities on the internet. Too much basic troubleshooting answered dozens of times already and not enough cool projects.
Engineer should still be an IC position and not have that many meetings. It should be a project or team lead that does the majority of meetings.
The big issue I see with people driving Phillips screws is that they don't use a large enough driver size. Computer screws for example are Phillips #2 and I've never had an issue with them stripping.
My father literally had a digital rolodex device for keeping his phone numbers in for his early cellphones.
Canada threw up their hands and said, "Fuck it, I don't care, use whatever date format you like."
Frankly I don't even want that. I hate when my fridge starts beeping at me because I have it open while I am putting away groceries or cleaning it.
Having my lights automatically controlled is nice. They turn on just before sunset, then I have my lamp in my bedroom turn on just before I head to bed normally so I can get straight into bed and hit a button to make the room dark.
I have a few other things connected to Home Assistant like my 3D printer and an air quality meter just to have a dashboard for how things are in my place. But I have zero interest in appliances being connected to the internet. Especially anything that could be dangerous if it malfunctioned.
Nah there is Debian, Arch, Gentoo, and Linux from scratch depending on your level of madness.
Back in the day I used some smaller distros. Sabayon and Archbang both come to mind.
Now you have me thinking. I've always said that I don't listen to lyrics but when I was a kid I listened to a lot of artists that are straight up comedy or lean that way (e.g. Barenaked Ladies).
I never had patience for that and would just read ahead and ignore the person speaking.
Is there really much of a difference in this case? If your on prem software has a vulnerability and it is connected to the internet then it is just as vulnerable as the same software on a cloud provider. I would argue the cloud one is more likely to be set up more securely.
Cloud certainly has some different risks but I can't definitively say it is short sighted and more risky compared to an on prem solution that a typical IT department would implement.
There is always some issue I run into that makes me angry and go back to Windows. Usually it is some random issue that breaks my installation at the most annoying time that I don't have time to fix.
I've tried twice recently to mainly run Linux on my laptop (Framework) and ran into compatibility issues. First, the wireless card in my laptop worked on the installed kernel version for their recommended distro (Fedora), but when I updated the OS it upgraded to a kernel that didn't have the Wifi driver. The other distros I tried had other hardware that didn't work. I tried again a few months ago and that was fixed, but then I discovered that two pieces of software I need to run cannot coexist because one had graphical issues if you don't use Wayland and the other only supports xorg. No issues running the same combination of software in Windows.
I'm pretty sure it was Ubuntu 5.10 or 6.06. I remember playing around with Compiz/Beryl on it and thinking it was so cool.
Agreed, I'm in the demographic as well and mostly get science education and cooking videos recommended to me. I'll get the occasional political video but they are definitely more left wing channels.
I don't think the plan was ever to get revenue by charging for API calls, it was to make the pricing so high that users would be forced to move to the official app where they could track and serve ads to users. Apparently Reddit management is so stupid that they thought this was the best plan and continued gaslighting their users about it. At the very least they could have been honest about it and said it was to try to improve profitability since they can't serve ads to 3rd party clients. It still would have made people angry but it would have blown over.
The problem was that when interest rates were low it was easy to get funding from investors for your business without much care for getting a return on it. Gaining users and revenue was more important than profit. Now investors are calling it in since their costs have increased and companies are scrambling to do anything to prove that their business isn't just a house of cards being held up by a foundation of venture capital money.
It sucks as a customer/user of any of these services since they could have built a sustainable business from the outset, maybe with slower growth, but instead everyone pays the price at the end of the day when the product turns to shit.
