  • Write in accomplishment statements. There are plenty of guides online about how to do that. I straight up have a categorised list of skills at the top of my resume and then below they have an accompanying accomplishment statement that explains how I have used that skill. This gives an easy way for the interviewer to ask you about something you can talk to.

    Attach a portfolio of work when appropriate, visual examples are great to show what you know.

  • I'm forced to use Google Workspace and I absolutely hate it. The document suite is so horrible when trying to do anything that isn't a basic document or spreadsheet. Gmail sucks for long email threads and anything with attachments and the search is useless. Google Chat is a barebones piece of shit compared to Slack.

    Luckily I've been able to get Microsoft Office for the things that require it, including Outlook using the GWSMO tool.

  • I feel like I don't use that many Google services (mostly because I'm not convinced they won't shut down), but the ones I do use are the ones that would really suck to lose access to. I realized this a few months ago and have at least been working on moving my email away from Gmail to my own domain since that is the critical one that could screw everything up.

  • Who pays for it? The issues come from the food supply chain charging more and more to increase profits, as well as other increased costs that get passed to the end customer.

    I wouldn't support the cost coming out of the government as that just subsidizes corporations that are overcharging. Can they add competition in the food space to drive down costs? Can they mandate food pricing and profit limits instead?

  • I just spent awhile trying to switch from Vivaldi to Floorp before going back. It just doesn't work as smoothly, things like tabs wouldn't save properly between sessions, pinning tabs doesn't prevent you from closing them, UI elements would disappear, etc.

  • I haven't even received it yet, so I can't comment on the actual device. In the end I decided on the Page as I didn't want something too much bigger than my current Kindle and I wanted the page turn buttons since I always found the touchscreen page turning on my Kindle to be inconsistent.

  • I've just purchased an Onyx Boox device to replace my old original Kindle Paperwhite. Moves like this make me feel good about choosing to go that route since it is essentially an Android tablet that will support any format as long as there is a reader app for it.

    That said, to anyone thinking of buying one from the website that this article links to, there are lots of negative reviews for them so it might be best to find a different distributor.

  • This is a good point. Different employees require different amounts of supervision, while the person commenting might be effective working from home, there are many other people that really need someone checking in on them more often or else they aren't effective or get easily derailed on their tasks.

  • The problem here is that AI in the media has become synonymous with generalized LLMs, while other "AI" applications have been in place for many years doing more specific things that have more obvious use cases that can be more easily commercialised.

  • I doubt any legal software requires enterprise hardware to run. You tend to go through those companies because they have the support structure setup for enterprises, otherwise the majority of what people do on their computers is pretty hardware agnostic, especially with how much is web based these days.

    Also with the shortages over the past couple years just getting any laptop matters more in many cases than getting a specific laptop. At the same time, at least learn to turn off the RGB for a business environment.

  • Agreed, though as a customer my biggest pet peeve is having to talk to someone because the functionality is inexplicably not available on their website. If having a chat bot to do this gets around the issue I'm all for it.

    A good example even before the whole LLM boom is that one of the couriers in my country (Purolator) implemented a truly useful chat bot a few years ago. I can do all kinds of stuff with it that you would have to call any other courier to get done, such as update my address to let the driver know a buzzer number.

  • Hence the quotations around "free". Qualcomm isn'tgoing to tape out a custom chip without it for you just because you don't want that block.

    that has since been reclaimed by other function more useful to most users.

    This was my uncertainty, do you know for certain that they don't include FM functionality on their chips anymore or are you just guessing? The public facing documentation is not exactly detailed enough to tell for sure.
