Who tf charges a phone EVERY DAY????

Mfer do y'all live on your phone?

I charge my phone like once every few days at most, closer to once a week and I don't run anything, it's only ever used for music playback and store payment when I'm running errands, banking stuff or authenticator for work.

Who tf keeps their phone charged all day bruh I'm not nearly addicted enough to this shit for thar

Nah I work in cybersec, the reason these systems are in use is because of compliance standards that are created as insurance corpos have against each others' incompetence during vendor reviews.

Problem is as anyone working in the corporate world can tell you they are infinitely incompetent and their reviews are a clown world clusterfuck. But that's what they get when the unifying motivation is greed, and everyone is paid by the hour.

Personally seeing the C-suite with their rolexes and shit, I ain't too fussed letting the clock run out due to their bullshit, I'm just gonna go play CTFs or make drum and bass.

Every morning at work it's:

Type in a password to Decrypt laptop drive

Type in a password to Sign in to laptop account

Type in a password to Sign into 1password

Copy password for okta from 1pw

Use fingerprint to Unlock my phone

Type in 2FA code from my phone Google authenticator into okta

Finally log into outlook

Need to log into a system not behind SSO

Type in a password to Re-unlock 1password

Oopsie-poopsie phone died!

Charge phone for 5 min so I can turn it on

Type in phone password because you can't use biometrics after shutdown

Open Google authenticator and get 2FA for system

"Sorry your authentication attempt has timed out"

Type in password to unlock 1password

Copy password to system

Type in 2FA code from phone

Finally logged into system so I can do work

Oh it's meeting time anyway

Meeting is 30 mins

After meeting get back to the tab with the system

"You've been logged out due to inactivity"

I'd honestly rather drink a verification can.

What is this

I'm off to... Bombay!

Dies in a particularly violent unceremonious explosion*

Found the guy who sends you the kinda shit on slack that makes you wish for happy hour at 2pm, preferably at the local fentanyl dispensary.

And risk being sent to HR or fired? Lol no thanks. A plan is best considered before ever letting them know you're onto them, a risk/benefit ratio should be accounted for to determine if there's value to be derived from exposing/confronting them referencing the applicable legal frameworks. Do not speak to coworkers if you want to stay employed.

Yes, or course. In fact, humanism to some degree requires an opposition to anti-human ideas, like intolerance, therefore a humanist is almost implicitly intolerant of intolerance, an earnest practicioner of the paradox.

Neat

Idk if anything technological change has massively stagnated because exploitation of workers is far cheaper than reducing costs through innovation.

Disposable culture: He predicted throwaway products, and now we have single-use plastics, fast fashion, and gadgets that feel obsolete within a year.

Tech burnout: Toffler said technology would become outdated faster and faster. Today, if you don’t upgrade your phone or update your software, you feel left behind.

Compare the leap between iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4 and iPhone X to whatever the newest one is.

My phone is a Pixel 4a and the only noticeable difference between it and the latest pixel is that this one has a headphone jack and the others don't and they look like shit and have a worse selfie cam lol.

There used to be a time where upgrading your GPU every year would get you better bang for your buck long-term because improvements were so rapid. Now your 1070Ti can still run most games fairly well and with something like a 3090 you can last another 5 years easily, while the PS5 is barely any different to the PS4.

• Information overload: This term literally came from Future Shock, and if you've ever felt exhausted just from scrolling through your feeds or reading the news, you know exactly what he meant.

I don't get this one at all. I don't feel exhausted whatsoever, information is actually stimulating. Of course if you only scroll the news you'll feel depressed because we live in a dystopia, but that's not information overload, it's just sad. On the other hand if simply reading anything makes you overwhelmed that just seems like a lack of reading stamina so you can just not do that, or develop that stamina.

Transient relationships: He warned about shallow, fleeting social connections — something social media, dating apps, and global mobility have absolutely amplified.

I don't think this is a bad thing.

Rent instead of own: Services like Airbnb and Uber fit his prediction that we’d move away from owning things and toward renting everything.

Job instability: He nailed the rise of the gig economy, freelancing, and how fast-changing industries make it hard to stay trained up and secure.

This is all basic capitalism and it's consequences.

EDIT: not sure what I said that was so controversial as to being deserving of downvotes.

Email in general is hell. It's meant to be individual letters but has now become the most unholy form of IM.

Okay this article is dog shit but Google Drive has absolutely awful search and is missing so many basic features even for things like finding out where a file is so I'm not defending Google there, the author makes a bad critique but it's a thing worth critiquing.

Subjectively, material design in its newest iteration is just also ugly as sin too, android 8 - android 10 was peak android, get these fucking pastels and overly large buttons off my phone and bring back the white/blue simplicity of yesteryear gosh darn it.

Videos? Grid. Images? Grid. Both with preview window on the right.

Everything else? List with a preview window docked on the right. For everything other than music, I always soet by the last modified date, unless there's less than 10 files or so per folder, in which case alphabetical is preferred.

Couldn't even get past the network choice at the setup

I would do the same I normally do except just not eating, I don't think it really changes much I mostly eat either for pleasure or to literally not die anyway so I'd just not do the latter.

A trans woman, and a cis woman are both subtypes of women. One used to be physically male, the other didn't. Both are women and should be afforded the same treatment under law unless actually there's actually reasonable issues created by that.
