I feel like a lot of people from different countries would fit that description after the fact since technology was more expensive and it took us longer to be able to afford the new and trendy items.
- Comment on Tesla recalls most Cybertrucks in US over windshield wiper, exterior trim issues 5 days ago:
This strikes me as a way to bring in the thing to the dealership to address other more important issues like the accelerator while playing it down as “only a wipers issue”. They must be scared of the oncoming by lawsuits that they decided this was the best course of action.

I don’t commute to work daily but see them once in a while. I’d be lying if I didn’t say they scare me. I’m just hoping whomever gets sliced by colliding (or being collided by) those monstrous things goes quickly. I can’t imagine what the scene will look like if we have a pedestrian near by while their stupid accelerator gets stuck again.

We’d appreciate “don’t be a dickwad” at this point.
- Comment on Fediverse Apps on Kubernetes? 1 month ago:
This all makes sense to me since we deal with it at work. I would maybe add a service vs route point to differentiate things like UI that need external exposure. The main difference is we use kustomize instead of helm. Out of curiosity if you had any experience with both and why did you settle in helm?

As a Mexican I can say that cinco de mayo is just a marketing holiday similar to saint Patrick’s day and capitalism has ruined any significance behind the actual batalla de Puebla… ooooh, did you just say you have a colorful donkey tequila on sale? Count me in 🤠
- Comment on Tesla Exodus Continues As Top HR Exec Leaves After Brutal Job Cuts 1 month ago:
The sad part is that I put my phone down for a minute to do some chores. Picked it up and for a second thought this was a different article about a different narcissistic clown that is currently on the news a lot as well.
- Comment on Qantas investigating reports customers have access to other passengers' information on app 1 month ago:
It is scary easy to leave a shared variable by a novice programmer or to misunderstand caching and cache collisions by the same group. It is part of learning, the scary part is that most profit driven companies see it as cost of doing business. In order to push out code faster and cheaper QA and unit testing suffers and the consumers are the ones that end up with the highest risk.
Some companies reputations do get affected to the point it affects business or partnerships (see Wyze cameras and their removed recommendations from tech sites) but something needs to change and regulation is light on fines for companies doing this over and over (along with data breaches).
- Comment on 12TB for $80 - serverpartdeals.com 2 months ago:
They are also enterprise drives which consume slightly more power and more importantly generate more noise/clicking sounds on average when compared to a consumer drive. Depending on where you were planning to install them, it might not be the best option.
- Comment on Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a day 2 months ago:
You don’t need it to be on the appliance itself. Hook a power metering smart outlet and you can tell. Or a shake sensor. Or an open door sensor. Combine them all for a reliable effective way to tell if it’s done and the door has been opened, all for a much lower price than what those “smart” appliances charge the premium for. This way you can also choose vendors that work on local wifi/zigbee/z wave and don’t own a paper weight or part functional item the moment the vendor decides to shutdown the servers.
- Comment on Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consent 3 months ago:
They added real names without consent. No further action required. Opens people to litigation from petty former companies with too much money (generally the ones that need those reviews).

Hard to argue with any of those points. Nice of you to kindly elaborate for people trying to blame the victims of the scheme.

- Comment on Amazon hides cheaper items with faster delivery, lawsuit alleges 4 months ago:
I got hit by the updated pictures and product problem you described recently. Used the “buy again” for a silicone set of wipers for my car (those last for years instead of the 2 seasons you get out of the rubber garbage the companies push). Rain x had updated the product to the latter one to make more money with the reviews of the older long lasting one on the inferior product. Had to return and buy from elsewhere. I can’t trust the “order again” functionality and at this point, Amazon and the companies there any longer (since they used the process to mislead customers).

- Comment on What is wage theft exactly? 5 months ago:
One of the most common versions I’ve seen is managers being able to “correct” employees punch in and punch out times. Useful if you forgot to clock in. However, often used to always chop off extra minutes accumulated from being there a few minutes early (“on time”) and staying a few minutes past your shift (until someone else can take over). But don’t you dare to be a few minutes late because you will get some points on your record and risk disciplinary actions.
I fucking hated retail jobs.
- Comment on Google lays off hundreds in Assistant, hardware, engineering teams 5 months ago:
Using your voice to send an email, video or audio message. You can still make calls and send text messages.
You could never make calls. I remember trying to find my phone by asking Google to call it and it just saying “calling xyz”. Never rang, not while I was using a Google voice number, not on Google Fi, not on T-Mobile/mint.
Also, didn’t see anything about asking the assistant on the living room something and the device in the bedroom answering and vice-versa. Not sure how something so simple could be messed up. We kind of gave up on using it due to that, it isn’t even good enough to Google a question any longer.

- Comment on Should I move to Docker? 6 months ago:
I would suggest docker compose before a UI to someone that likes to work via the command line.
Many popular docker repositories also automatically give docker run equivalents in compose format, so the learning curve is not as steep.
