As someone who has been on an on call rotation plus randomly called for things specifically revolving around things I manage at work for 19 years now, i am jealous of being allowed the sense of freedom from the phone. My wife thinks I'm nuts, but she will never get this feeling... I hope one day to have a better job that isn't working for a place that is open 24/7...
I enjoyed the 2nd, but most of the things were very cookie-cutter generic. I liked that style to an extent, but it just becomes very predictable and after a while and I wanted to just finish it by the end. Decent enough story I guess and could have been worse. Fighting was probably its best part.
I don't want one right now. Didn't see any reason to buy it day one which is not like me, but finances are tight so I can't really see splurging right now. My friend was all over it though and shockingly enough he said he was able to get it last night from Walmart after waiting in an online queue for 45 min and totally expected the worst.
Hey, that's not entirely true! Our place brought them in because it was also a cheap solution! Honestly, it has done fine for our storage solution, which is mostly backups related. Then again, we came from Baracuda, which was super expensive, super locked down, and did break a lot.
You gotta love that she was convinced not to vote. You would think why waste an extra vote for your guy? Then I realized it's because they will never fully believe a word she says, and instead of risking her voting for the other side, they feel more comfortable just having her silenced.
The place that should be held to the highest standard for employment making intern level of mistake daily is also telling how awful these people are at their jobs. Stuff like this would never be able to happen at a regular job and things like this require multiple people to sign off on to make sure mistakes are not made. If they are making mistakes like this, just imagine the stuff we don't see or hear about... yet.
We all knew this was going to happen when we saw the first article saying he wanted a truce... why is it shocking, and why does everyone let it happen? I'm guessing nothing will happen.
I just moved out, I had a good job at the time that was unaffected by this (healthcare) and, if anything, thriving. Nobody I knew was really affected by this either. I think we were too close to starting our careers for it to do much to us.
I will say I had 1 time i needed it. It was my Samsung Odessey monitor. It supports freesync but I noticed when it was on there would be a slight flicker. Dealt with it for probably 2 years before looking into it. Low and behold online comments all said firmware fixed it. It worked, fixed it and now it's been fantastic ever since. One of the only times an update on a screen did something amazing. It's not the norm but the excception.
So we pay them to do this to us? I stopped putting tv's on the internet once I realized it offered me nothing useful. Firmware is about it and if that's the case I'll either usb it or put it on the internet for 5 min to do the update. Even then Samsung sucks so much with firmware the release notes for every single update are "bug fixes and improvements"... thanks Samsung.
If I am forced to put it online or it comes up with a way to phone home on its own, I am done buying those kinds of tv's, and I'm sure some other brand will offer one that doesn't, even if it isn't the best one to buy.
Were I live, it updates at least once a month and i think its on purpose. If you want a static IP, you gotta buy the business plan. I do host stuff so instead of spending the extra $200 or so a month for that plan I just use DDNS with my domain and setup a small app that the domain provider gives which periodically checks your public IP and changes it where your DNS settings are hosted.
You would think this is a perfect opportunity to offer anyone willing to move to the US an agreement were no tarrifs are applied to the building materials of the factory or business being built as long as it meets certain requirements. Of course, that will never happen.
