These things are unbelievably sensitive to moisture. Only handle them with bone-dry hands. If the storage under your sink gets humid, consider moving them to the pantry!

My friend worked in a hardware store for a couple years and he said that around Christmas time you get about a dozen people asking for these.

Her employer “compelled” the team to incorporate generative AI, then “in the same conversation, warned about the legal dangers”, she said. The result was constant stress.

The state of the rat race in a nutshell. Everyone I work with is barely holding on mentally, but productivity is high, so it looks good from 30k ft. It is weird how so many staff engineers are quitting, though.

This is from 2018? I’m morbidly curious about how she’s coping right now but not about to go looking.

Man, literally day one after the election, which probably didn’t go the way you predicted, and already with the prognostications of doom.

It’s ok to be happy for a little while.

This goofy bitch’s ousting is a footnote in the grand scheme. It’ll probably be a chip on her shoulder for the rest of her life.

I like the spirit of this comment and want to keep it going.

I am excited about El-Sayed because of all the people who had a real shot at this position, he showed the most compassion for humanity. How often do you get to say that about a fucking senate race?

Dude’s huffed so much of his own farts he can’t smell the coffee.

Hm, yeah I don’t see any way of arguing that Microsoft wasn’t wildly negligent in this case. They’re the ones that positioned themselves as the vanguard of secure boot and they made it clear during the windows 11 TPM fiasco that they’re fine leaving hardware behind, so how are they not in control of vending and checking their own certs?

You don’t need an Internet connection to have a control system keep temperature around a setpoint, though. That’s usually handled by a lower level circuit that will continue to operate in the case that the high level interface is not responding.

Observability is nice, but you don’t need to expose controls to do this, you could just have a Prometheus endpoint.

I suspect it’s because the manufacturer is trying to sell RaaS (refrigeration as a service) and to ensure they get their monthly dues, they “offer remote maintenance and monitoring” or something.

Nit: it doesn’t beg the question (a logical fallacy also known as tautology), it raises it.

But yeah, is it really that helpful to network something you only want to set one time?

Since states run the elections, I think this is actually the correct course of action. All we need is one brave soul to file a complaint for election interference in one of the many places he’s done shady shit, and a formal investigation can be opened, giving prosecutors many more levers to pull.

It would be a wonderful turn of events if Musk spent his remaining years getting passed from one state prison to the next. He’s certainly worked hard for it.

I don’t care about anyone’s vote but yours, Internet stranger. Fuck the news, make sure you’re counted.

“Well I couldn’t get what I wanted so I think I’ll do the cringiest thing imaginable and abandon my entire career”, the incredible true story.

What a hilariously stupid way to fuck up your life. Well done, dickheads.

Disenfranchisement should be a crime of the same order as treason.

Exactly. The only reason corporations stopped dumping cadmium in the water is because they were forced to under threat of prosecution.

It’s not even an exaggeration. A few of my coworkers have it as a backup for when their cables go down and I have proof that never once has it worked when they needed it lol

Holy shit. Meta, what the fuck have you gotten into?
