Don’t forget the mandatory 5 minutes fiddling with the thing before the one kid with half a brain figures out how to switch inputs.

The stinky blue button is working again!
- Comment on Finding a Tech Job Is Still a Nightmare | WIRED 1 year ago:
Right there with you. Not that great in my field. Got headhunted, 50% raise, company is only able to hire talented people (and they need them) by out-paying competitors. All contractors, vendors, partners are the same. We are definitely high-tech. Been hearing about this “recession” for nearly two years now. Just smells like media trying to create one.
- Comment on Six months ago NPR left X. The effects have been negligible — X wasn’t worth the effort, at least in terms of traffic 1 year ago:
NPR doesn’t produce inflammatory, biased news and clickbait headlines, so this is not surprising in the least.
- Comment on Don't forget to tip 1 year ago:
Preach, brother! I hammered in five crooked nails, slapped primerless paint on a whole door, and only jacked the rent $250 this week. The plebs don’t know how good they have it.

You’d think so, GameOfThronesFinale.

Not quite, but it’s getting closer.

This Canadian currently pays for:

The CTV App can fuck itself. I’ll be pirating the show and I’m not even ashamed.
- Comment on So Far, AI Is a Money Pit That Isn't Paying Off 1 year ago:
Definitely. I have experimented with image generation on my own mid-range RX GPU and though it was slow, it worked. I have not tried the latest driver update that’s supposed to accelerate those tools dramatically, but local AI workstations with dedicated silicon are the future. CPU, GPU, AIPU?
- Comment on So Far, AI Is a Money Pit That Isn't Paying Off 1 year ago:
The current breed of generative “AI” won’t ‘die out’. It’s here to stay. We are just in the early Wild-West days of it, where everyone’s rushing to grab a piece of the pie, but the shine is starting to wear off and the hype is juuuuust past its peak.
What you’ll see soon is the “enshittification” of services like ChatGPT as the financial reckoning comes, startup variants shut down by the truckload, and the big names put more and more features behind paywalls. We’ve gone past the “just make it work” phase, now we are moving into the “just make it sustainable/profitable” phase.
- Comment on How embarrassing 1 year ago:
And two aircraft carriers.
- Comment on Delta is fourth major U.S. airline to find fake jet aircraft engine parts with forged airworthiness documents from U.K. company 1 year ago:
I fail to see how someone can understand the aircraft parts industry enough to enter it and become a supplier, and at the same time believe you can get away with forging certifications.
- Comment on What the cowards at Paramount refuse to release 1 year ago:
As amazing as Jeri was in that episode, boy did that not age well.

I’ve been reading more books.

- Comment on But my WiFi is just fine! 1 year ago:
I ran a 100ft snakey boi to my desk around the start of COVID and it’s still there.
Bonus: switch mounted under desk feeds another 75 footer to kid’s room and PC.
Only the best.
- Comment on The housing market is tough, so you need someone on your side who's tougher. 1 year ago:
There is a local bus-bench ad for a realtor by the name of Chris Skowron, and boy the number of times I have wanted to make him bring glory to you… and your hoouuuuuse…
- Comment on Grocery stores should have food banks 1 year ago:
I rub shoulders with Food Bank people all the time on my commute and they aren’t the ones you worry about.

Neighbor next door is a Romulan flag, you just can’t see it.
Crappy house down the street with the Camaro on cinder blocks and beer cans all over the lawn has a Cardassian flag.
- Comment on Anything Else Is A Waste Of Material 1 year ago:
I’m in the industry and it’s true for all of them, Chrysler just doesn’t seem to think people want to drive their vehicles for more than 6 years.
- Comment on Anything Else Is A Waste Of Material 1 year ago:
When I learned that “Corinthian Leather” was a name they made up for the cheapest leather they could find.

If it could contain a set of Starfleet vaccinations against cancer and Alzheimer’s I’ll take two please.
- Comment on One of the absolute best features of lemmy is that everyone is simply allowed to post. 1 year ago:
I can’t post in c/CasualConversation for some reason…
I’ve never posted there before and am not banned as far as I can see, posts just never save properly when I try…
- Comment on Can I replace my shower controls? 1 year ago:
I was born in 1982 and am turning 41 shortly, starting to feel out of touch and cringey myself.
Also I have teenage kids and you could easily be one of my parents. How’s that for a blow? 😁
- Comment on Can I replace my shower controls? 1 year ago:
I had a contractor replace an older faucet a few years ago. He opened up the wall and found older, very brittle plastic pipes, I don’t remember what exactly but they are not modern PVC. He was able to replace the faucet and fix the leak that precipitated the visit, but was emphatic that further leaks and issues were likely.
With an older fixture like that, after learning this, I wouldn’t touch it.
- Comment on Official Trailer 2 | Star Trek: Lower Decks 1 year ago:
Old series trailer, not a new Season 4 trailer.
- Comment on [OC] My feeling as European reading news on Lemmy/Reddit 1 year ago:
American local news cycles from city to county to state to national, and then starts over again.
American national news is just one outrage after another.
