The only thing Ive heard that makes any sense and isn’t just “the CEO says so”, is in-person collaboration. I will say, pretty much everyone I’ve talked to says “yes, it’s nice to have a physical meeting and collaborate in person” however… most of the people I work with besides my immediate team are in other offices, dispersed across the globe.

I’d love to see some hard data that shows the difference. I guarantee they have hard data, but wont share it because it doesn’t paint the picture they want it to. They also had hard data that showed we were vastly more productive during covid lockdowns, even when people only worked during normal hours. Until they told us to come back, then people switched to malicious compliance.

I hear thats a good way to determine if some one is King as well.

Its only a trough if it goes back up on the other side.

It’s in the “to be blocked” list posted.

I’ll take one! Well, two really. One large one for TV/media viewing and one to replace my 43" 4k monitor. Quadrupling the resolution on that would be amazing.

The difference would be minimal on the media screen, TBH, but Ive seen them in person and can tell the difference. It’s just not a big enough difference to warrant replacing what I have.

… but why? What good does this post do? Not an Alienware fan, but I’d still want to hear why you think it’s great? This post is missing like, literally anything about the booth at all.

It’d be incredibly easy for the “scrape this site” input method to search for your special character and swap it with the appropriate replacement before it even gets ingested into the LLM.

I negotiated this Deal with Lip-Bu Tan, the Highly Respected Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

That i tried to get fired less than two weeks ago.

But theres no use crying over every mistake

I definitely prefer to purchase my music on CD when possible. As someone who grew up with Cassettes, it’s one tech I’m fine with being pushed into history. I’d rather have Minidiscs than cassettes.

man, I can only do deep breathing for a few minutes before I start getting light headed. I cant imagine doing it for 6 straight months!

Luckily I’m in the US where we apparently only care about “the children” before they’re born.

“We listened very carefully to everything our customers wanted, and then we cranked out this impossible to use fucking piece of shit” - The Onion (for Sony, but it applies here)

Which kinda seems like a villain origin story to me.

It’s for the children!!

How is he conflicted? He knows he’s in them and doesn’t want them released, so he’s just going to pull his usual go to of “deflection” and “change the subject” until people forget.

Good thing its not NNN.

Last I heard, all the providers in the US are in the “we’re not actively canceling them, but we won’t roll out new ones or fix problems.

I miss POTS. Copper landlines are a thing of the past. Now it’s just VoIP with a battery that doesn’t last long enough and another bill. (And place for scam/telemarketers/junk calls)

Pretty sure that was exactly the desired use of the tool. Definitely not misused.
