  • Petabit/byte is not a buzz word.

    We use bits, megabits, terabits, and petabits fairly standardly in tech.

    That's not to be confused with bytes, megabytes, terabytes, and petabytes. Server farms will contain Petabytes (PB) of data.

    Technically there's also exabit/byte, zettabit/byte, and yottabit/byte as we continue to climb the chain of technical capabilities. It's estimated that the internet overall has nearly 200 Zettabytes(ZB) of information in 2024.

  • TBH, I never dug into rational wiki. However the timeline is fairly accurate from what I watched what happened to my friends both in the game industry and my former friends that were gamers (hint, i worked in games when this shit was unfolding).

    Unfortunately, no other "timeline" source exists, with Wikipedia starting its paragraphs of history with Zoe Quinn creating Depression Quest, and many many other articles starting there as well. Some people like to attribute a slightly earlier event of a handful of journalists critiquing gamers over their reactions to the Mass Effect 3 ending, but that doesn't really fit with how quickly things snowballed after "The Zoe Post".

  • I stand against gamergate buddy.

    Your timeline of events and triggers are off though.

    https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Gamergate

    I vividly remeber this time period and witnessing these events unfold live. I lost a good deal of people I considered friends at the time due to the misogyny that rose out.

    You're right though, gamergate followers were radicalized by what we now know as the "Alt-right".

  • Gamergate started with "The Zoe Post", not the removal of jailbait.

    "The Zoe Post" is a hit piece from an Ex-boyfriend of game developer Zoe Quinn that alleged that she slept with a notable game reviewer to get positive reviews for her game. Said reviewer never actually reviewed her game.

    Please don't re-write the history of these events. Especially since jailbait had been removed for around a year when "The Zoe Post" dropped.

  • Hungarian kitchen? Wtf does this mean?

    I grew up in a 2nd generation Hungarian American family and we cooked tons of cheap, and amazing foods. Goulash, paprikash, and pierogis are all "pesant/farmer" foods and are cheap as all hell, not to mention they boast amazing flavors. Additionally you can explore regional and family variantions on the recipes and never run out fresh experiences.

    Paprika is amazing, use it, love it, live it.

  • If you've been working hard at work to get a promo, it's probably time to get that promo, but externally. You'll probabaly get better pay that way too.

    When putting together your resume, remeber to use the xyz format for your job successes "achieved x, doing y, with z results". This helps provide hiring managers and recruiters an idea of your performance and what type of results you can likely deliver for their team.

  • Yes, an article written by a podiatrist, peer reviewed by a podiatrist, and completely cites their credentials, sources, and reference materials.

    Just because you don't think it's credible, doesn't make it not credible.

  • As somebody that's been working on computer hardware since the early-to-mid 90s, installing the drivers before connecting the printer was the norm. It was actually the norm for most peripherals. Just be glad you didn't have to do manual irq assignment. Hell, that is probabaly the issue, is that the driver installer borked the irq assignment when the device already had a handshake agreement with the hardware.

    I digress though, this shouldn't have been the pattern for a modern printer in 2007, when PnP had been standard for several years at that point.
