Oh, I had no idea Shortyz was forked, I'm so glad there's a maintained version thank you!

Agreed, it's definitely coming from the top! I didn't realize they had closed a ton of the other offices during the pandemic, but I suppose it's not surprising either. It also seemed like a lot of remote hiring happened during the pandemic?

Most of the people I know personally affected are in that category (remotely hired or relocated), and most of those people are women. Small sample size with lots of bias, but I've been pretty upset the whole situation. It definitely feels/looks like a way to quietly push a bunch of folks out... whether overtly or as a "bonus" for upper management, it has the same unfortunate effect.

I guess it is what it is, but what it is ain't good. It feels good to commiserate though, thank you stranger!

So this is like an Austrian Cincinnati chili?

For some reason I really want to love Vienna sausages... but I just can't. Maybe one day!

Thank you for the memory! The first "retail" card I ever purchased (from a small town computer shop), literally just said AGP Graphics Adapter on the box... and inside was a delightfully generic SiS board, with which I had many fun hours.

I'm a bit surprised you thought of SMBus and not I2C! Although lord knows I've seen enough garbled and missing battery traffic from bad connectors, so who am I to say...

You are not alone... Manually unfocusing my eyes is a mainstay of pain relief for me!

You are reminding me that I used to keep a copy of Nesticle (for DOS!) on an AOL floppy, along with a couple of ROMs. I saved the fancy Imation Disney disks for my data 😅

Thank you for the flashback!
