And as the market moves the jobs away from the sort of low paying work those hungry coders end up flipping burgers or driving uber instead. The wages and expectations at the places like ubisoft make for only the very worst/desperate of devs apply. Its happening all over the tech industry, you make more doing almost anything else.

Ah, wonderful company that, if you like war crimes, tax crimes and just dastardly acts in general. Really the gold standard in corruption.
- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge 2 weeks ago:
Sure, but how does that make anyone money? You saved time not reading, and your time is worth money sure, but not the untold amounts of money and infrastructure that AI has cost. Your place of work still has an angry client, and you still have the same issues with the rep but now with a risk of the LLM hallucinating something in the summery. Lets say you fire the rep for what was in the summery and it turns out they did not do whatever was said and you have a lawsuit (and I would hope some loss of sleep)? I think generative AI peaked at things without stakes like “Harry Squatter and the Chamber of Gains” and has just been a solution looking for a problem even since.
More to the point this was always going to end this way without a path to profit (I know a terrible term) OpenAI alone is losing something like $12 Billion a quarter, and although maybe ads will help their bottom line it will also make that final step into the sort of hell no one wants.

No one wants AI right now.
I don’t know why anyone would ever want “AI” on their workstation let alone in a production environment. Its like a calculator that works 94% of the time, useless and distracting. Or like a bowl of candy where only one is poison, why would you want that?

Look, they can count to two and that is good enough for software. But if portal 4 comes out next I am going to lose it.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 4 weeks ago:
Eh, its only scary if you don’t see how bad a new roll out normally goes. Software is a tool, and people should remember that.
But yes hospitals are the worst for legacy systems (even outside of the us). I still remember having to relearn how to fix dot matrix printers because the hospital still was using them and had them under contract in 2015.

- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 4 weeks ago:
Yes and I also lose some confidence when ever I see a series of things numbered in a rational way and then skips numbers. Asian or not I don’t want to support a company that can not count. And its not like it is super common, Sony is a Japanese company yet the Playstation 4 existed for example.
And its not just international things ether, I don’t like when buildings skip floors ether. Let me live on the 13th floor, it is a number between 12 and 14 and I have a better opinion of the builder that can count more then I would have issues with superstition.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 4 weeks ago:
How people can give money to a software maker that has shown they can not count to 10 always blows me away.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 5 weeks ago:
And they are laughably wrong. Its always the wannabe system admins with 4 end users spouting that nonsense. You get into any big organization and legacy becomes a larger and larger part of the way things are kept running. Hell just for shits and giggles look at the back end of blood banks, government, airports and non blood banks back end infrastructure. I would be shocked if anything was running on less then a decade old software. Hell people think that software hardened over years should just be tossed out the window because the company (who has now made it clear they don’t even know what they are doing) released a version with a bigger number.
Just what are they teaching these days? No OS is secure, exploits and vaunrabilitys are in them all. This should not be a hot take but all I see is lazy it departments offloading responsibly left and right. The correct way to handle this has always been from a risk management approach. You need to assume your not ever secure, make backups, develop a plan to recover after an event and if you have sensitive data handle it like it was sensitive. Now a days we have usernames and passwords stored in the same databases, plain text critical data, lack of redundancy at all levels and a slick sales package to justify it all.

- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 5 weeks ago:
This is the issue I have with people talking about how “you MUST always run the most up to date software”. They don’t understand that in large enterprise it is common for function and security to not update unless there is a damn good reason. The very idea that the newest version is the best is just marketing brainwashing and does not hold up to the reality of use.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 5 weeks ago:
And looking like they are impossible to solve. It seems that the OS is more and more a black box of vibe coding and marketing wank as time passes.

It was in fact not that ridiculous a statement at all. But hey you guys seem to like getting fucked with a jackhammer so much you made a two party system and then somehow convinced your people that this was a democracy.
One side went full fascist, and the other side let it. Both sides are responsible for your nation and the absolute state that it is in. In a real democratic system neither of those two parties would ever see power again, but you chuckle fucks enshrined their existence in law.

I got ripped off years ago on a 1440p monitor from amazon that turned out to be 1080p, so at 1080p I doubt there is anything my nice card can not handle right now (and in the next few years at least).

I love my AM4 5800X3D system. Paired with a 6900 XT (nice card) and 64 gigs of ram there is nothing it can’t run for me. I have played with newer gen stuff and its all worse (ether bad linux support, stability, or the hardware cooks itself).
I honestly wonder if this shift away from consumer facing products has something to do with the plateauing of hardware as much as chasing a quick buck. I would think that if AMD just restarted 5800X3D production people would be happy.
