What they don’t wanna tell you is that they’re all competing for “as low as they can get away with.”

“HmMmMmm quite competitive! Yyyyeeess!!”

e AI, which uses weights you see

AI gettin’ so swole :(

Feels like HR should be some kind of third party representative guild that companies must contract with, maintains a strict code of ethics that doesn’t favor the employer, actually fights for the employee, and can’t be ordered around by corporations.

… I’m… mostly describing some kind of union, aren’t I? Lol

No complaints here about lemmy.today :)

They keep teasing it over and over. AGH. It kills me! Like every year a new bunch of articles pop up to generate clicks. I can never tell when it’s real! Lol

And I thought I was CRAZY for thinking “Could I EV convert it?” (Could fix stuff with YouTube. Not a mechanic.)

Well, now I see converting cars becoming a big thing. But sadly I screwed up the whole engine by snapping a 10mm gooseneck bolt deep in some crevice deep down in there, and it was leaking oil, and I had to sell it for scrap because we needed to get to work. Tragic. I got almost 200,000 miles out of it. :( :(

…at least now I know how a new very simple way to sabotage a vehicle hardcore in a way no mechanic or machinist would dare bother with it. (Ask me how I know Lol)

Maybe that Element EV will be a thing. I know EVs like to chase high efficiency / low drag but they need to not be afraid to be boxy for the right audience instead of jelly beans! XD

Wow…profunnndo…

Would be nice to be able to mismatch my drive size though

I gotta look into this sometime. I’m still doing Z mirrors of 4TB drives. I was lucky to score those.

I have a bunch of 500GB / 1TBs just sitting there though that would need power and a SATA extension, maybe to put non-critical stuff on…

2027 Chevy Bolt driver here 👋. Urban car-dependent locale unfortunately.

Freaking love the Bolt. Got some good incentives and bought new, which felt sorta foolish at the time. Never ever bought new before. (But there were no used models under like 100,000 miles around us, and they were old ones with slow charging.)

It is a touch smaller than our CR-V, but they vastly improved this model and I enjoy it a lot. The LT was quite affordable, and I don’t ask for much luxury. (IMHO my Honda Element was the best car ever.)

There’s also third party module to get Android auto to work, I’m considering that.

I can say one thing though, even though having a payment sucks, I feel vindicated every time I drive by $6 gas.

They want to criticize the mascot and, what, replace it with some kinda glyphic anus logo like all the “professional” companies with stupid silicon valley-approved names? LOL what high-ground amirite? 😂

Antiperspirant tends to be the stuff that contains concerning heavy metals. You’re supposed to be able to sweat, it’s just the stinky part that sucks haha.

Secondhand stuff can still be scrounged, but yeah, it ain’t great right now.

This too, shall pass. Somehow.

“This data center is powered entirely on streamers’ bottled used bathwater.”

Ah! Right! I completely forgot about that.

I was always of the “In remembrance of Me” interpretation. Catholicism gets pretty metal sometimes. Lol

OH YEAAAAH…I’ll admit I completely forgot about that.

I was always of the “In remembrance of Me” interpretation.

literally

Literally tho?

That would be super rad but I don’t think something like that exists yet. (Would be COOL to be wrong though!) The best I would think would be how many headsets let you look through the infrared cams.

I’d guess Steam Frame might be the best bet right now just because it’s Linux-first and open, and I think it offers an upgrade for color passthrough cameras.

“Microsoft Windows: Why wait? We broke it for you.”

then if you do fix it a damn update breaks it again!

Just fixed a fairly common issue with Windows Update on my wife’s W11 machine. Stuck at 99% forever. All you need to do is terminate the Windows Update process and try it again, or delete a cache somewhere.

Want Windows’ “official” advice if you’re “having trouble”?

Try reinstalling Windows . 😂 ROFL

Plus the bloat and spyware, ick.

I was also quite unnerved when the “location data” task item came up on startup, and listed Windows Explorer as using it for a second. Sorry what? Wtf does Explorer need location data for?

So happy to go back to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I want to convert some family members’ computers too when I finally get a chance for it.

That’s my holdout too! But then Windows forcibly removed support for WMR to paperweight those anyway, so…

What headset do you use? They just ported the Oasis driver to Linux for WMR devices (I have a Sumsung Odyssey+) and I can’t wait to try that!

There’s also the “Envision” project that streamlines getting all the drivers and builds and stuff going for various headset software on Linux. Some have better results than others. :)

Some really good guides here, and there’s also a (hrk 🤢) Discord called “Linux Vr Adventures”

Yeaaah, I know exactly what you mean. As someone who works in a public library, I realize despite lofty ideals you can’t just give the masses something awesome and expect them to take care of it. Not with modern attitudes anyway.

It’s a TON of work, expense, and management to deal with misanthropic abuse so others can enjoy it. I hope we can start to see a cultural shift where people actually see shared privileges as a shared responsibility…
