Oh no. They’ll still ignore it. They don’t care.
- Comment on "i can hear the difference" 1 week ago:
The biggest impact I ever saw was an electrical filter for advanced audio systems. It’s basically an alternator. And it was the most impressive piece of any audio system I sold.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 1 week ago:
But you see. That’s the solution. Now you pay foreigners to clean up the generated code by offshoring the engineers. At 1/100 the cost.

Shits back on the menu boys.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 2 weeks ago:
Sorry to hear that. It’s wild. Dell is doing a 30% price hike because of prices. Announced today. I expect us to follow.

Anyone with a decent honey set up has these.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 3 weeks ago:
My company received an email from Microsoft this week.
“From our data you are not selling Ai features as much as your competitors and we suggest that you start changing this or you will be left behind.”
It was a completely bullshit email. But the stupids at my company are now worried that Microsoft is tracking the features we’re selling with our computers. Like if that wasn’t the most glaring red flag “we have spent way too much money on this and we need you to prove we aren’t dumbasses” I don’t know what is.
I still will not sell Ai outside of its basic uses. And I’m backed up by the old heads in my department. Ai is not for everything.

The funny thing about Best Buy. Is that they hire. Kinda sorta good looking women. Not exactly good looking but from a far they were. It was always so funny how it worked out.
- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 4 weeks ago:
Digg 2.0 jumper in 2009. I always thought there would be a new Reddit after 2014. But it took 10 years for Lemmy to show up.

Man. Where I grew up. People like this were murdered by the mob. Bring back the mob.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 4 weeks ago:
I bet we’ll start to see domestic terror attacks against server farms when more of the population loses their jobs to this bullshit.
I ain’t saying I’m going to do it. But a man burned down the governors home in Pennsylvania. People who lose their homes and lives are not going to take this shit well.

Ya. Material items hold memories and it can feel like losing someone close to you when that item is lost as well. My uncle gave me my grandfathers class ring after he passed and I carry it with me to every sports game I go to.
- Comment on Pebble Time 2 has screws 5 weeks ago:
That’s what they did with onboard usb C drives. New computers now have screwed in USB C ports in case they need to be replaced.

- Comment on Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fears 1 month ago:
I do believe he is starting investments into new projects and needed liquid cash. I wouldn’t dig too deep into this.
- Comment on Watch me go Reddit 1 month ago:
Ya. We used to be able to have a voice there. Now the minority conservatives are pushing out the majority liberals. Piece by piece.

I’m happy to be here and grow in the wind.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I didn’t really realize I was middle aged until I hit 39. It’s been a blur for years. I’m finally making enough to possibly own a home soon. We’ll see how my work holds up in this economy. But honestly. I don’t even think about it. Just be you and take it one day at a time. Stop looking for tomorrow when it’s today.
- Comment on Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage — delays forcing rapid transition to QLC SSDs 1 month ago:
This collapse when we only need 1/100 of what they are planning. Because not everyone is going to need a massive data center. Just like cars, computers and every other technology. It starts out diverse than shrinksssssssss.
- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 2 months ago:
That’s why I don’t do it often if at all at this point. I had my fun.

- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 2 months ago:
I pay for Gemini and I haven’t used it in months. I don’t see any real case uses for me as an engineer. It just produces trash I have to fix and could have avoided if I did it myself in the beginning.
- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 2 months ago:
5 kids. Where two of them still need help into their 30’s and 40’s. He has never been good at finances. He has maybe enough for a decade. But not much after that.
- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 2 months ago:
I mean things like health insurance that is now exponentially more expensive since they didn’t fund the ACA. Since he will no longer have private insurance. He will be paying 4x more than he would have a year ago.

Boomer Trumper father is about to find out how he fucked himself by backing a felon after he lost his directorship job at 70 years old. No one is going to hire him now. And he is not ready for retirement. By miles.

This is why I still pay the NYT for access. They may suck. But I am trying to keep some of the good ones employed.
- Comment on They say remote working less productive 2 months ago:
I start a new remote job on Monday. It’s been a while since I was laid off. Just about 7 months. But I was lucky to find a firm looking specifically for a remote engineer in the specific support territory. Bingo!
