So when do we get to where we stop considering them human?

I wanna go to a theme park where they have trapped Nazis that we practice throwing knives at, or practice killing multiple with one grenade toss or something.

Edit: Upon further thought, I would amend the wording. Considering them human works, but universally thought of as how do the kids say it now "the worst timeline" version of humans. One to be removed. Like a literal cancer. Other than having a clear example of what the worst looks like, they serve no purpose or benefit to anyone else, and can universally be denied rights and consideration.

Yes, this is "how it was supposed to be used for".

The sentence construction quality these days in in freefall.

Just saying that proves you see it from the company's point of view. The flat signs should not be more important than the people working for it. Sorry, corporations aren't people. Make people's lives better, every time. You can't make a business happy, it's not a real entity.

Prioritize your workers (as in, be unionized) and your customers. Those are the only people involved. Stockholders and board members are just leeches. You're either producing the goods and service, or you're consuming it. Nobody else matters or should be considered.

CEOs making 4 or 5 extra digits than their front line workers are the absolute worst.

Any action taken against any union by the company should just get the company bankrupted and paid out to the employees tbh.

Anything less is just the business telling the workers to their face "we want you to make us way more money than you'll ever even hear about while we figure out ways to legally take everything we can. Their objective is typically to not spend any money on employee well-being unless it is actively costing them more to not do it.

Almost nobody is on any company's side at all (other than the owner). People want good working conditions and good living conditions. No one cares how happy the business feels.

Stop thinking from the business' point of view instead of the workers.

I honestly don't know enough about Tesla to say I don't hate it, but I like the fact their existence and failures are providing research data for future EV manufacturing. But I at least give them room to prove they're ok underneath their overlord.

Wouldn't every business be better dead than ununionized? I would rather Elon was dead personally, maybe Tesla isn't that bad but we hate him so much we can't see it? I dunno enough about them as a company, but I do want gas cars to only be in museums, so I'm hoping there's something there to salvage.

Clearly a bot.

Move along humans, no brain to engage with here. Let them sit in their ignorance while the real people get on with things.

Same. Well almost. I haven't been switched for a year yet. I think I started to with this build (new machine has never seen Windows) back in October and got a snag that I didn't have time to deal with for a while.

I finally finished it up sometime after the new year started, but can't remember when exactly. Either January or February.

I always forget wireless keyboards exist.

I've never heard of a frozen keyboard. That is definitely not an issue to worry about every single time anyway.

Plus when it works you need a second press to turn it back off before entering the password. Way too much work.

I usually use the up key as that is one of the few buttons I know of that will open the password field (I'm assuming down also works, but I haven't tried many others). I usually turn my monitor off (can't just leave it on as it's in my room and if a cat moves their ear too quickly that will wake up the screen and I can't have that while I'm comfortable in bed) at night, so the first time I use it in a day I will turn it on, smack the up arrow and the login screen is gone before the screen turns on all the way. Which is a little sad I don't get to see it much since I did pick out a theme and background for it, but can't be helped.

Wtf did they honestly expect from you in that situation anyway? Do they really think you would come back from vacation to deal with that? From what I can tell, fixing it is barely beyond a T1 hekpdesk amount of knowledge, just an annoying process. Unless there's more to it, I haven't looked heard at the details but that's the gist I'm hearing.

But unless they're going to triple my vacation length (in terms of paid days off in other words) and maxing out all my upgrade options for the next one I'ma have to say they can get bent.

Basically they gotta pay for the best version possible of that trip (assuming there was a trip) and give me enough time to take 2 more.

I ain't taking a work call on vacation.

Well there goes that good news. I hadn't finished looking into it, it's still in a tab I stashed here somewhere.

What kinda question is that? Seems pretty judgemental to me.

Some people are "the computer guy" for a BUNCH of people, and if your usual pocket arrangement allows them there are a bunch of tools you can use for different jobs.

It's just a different kind of pocketknife at the end of the day. I don't interact with nearly enough people to need one, but I can definitely see the possibilities.

This seems like a question that 90s people would ask. "What are you doing with your life that necessitates carrying a globally-connected supercomputer in your pocket?"

In different use cases I can see plenty of times where a bootable USB drive can mean you can use your own computer from any other machine. Which is super cool. It's gonna be a much slower version of it, obviously(because of USB read/write, but pretty cool that you can carry a full copy of your system, settings, documents, and programs than can sync to/from your regular backups. Or another with copies of other boot level tools to have on hand. If you help a bunch of people with covering from microshit to Linux, then keeping a LiveISO on hand for them to try out and install seems like a good idea to keep around.

There's just so many reasons why you would ask this. Personally I don't, but if I did I would like to think I could ask the question.

If nothing else, it's interesting to think about for sure. Now I kinda wanna imagine what kind of stuff is even possible to run like this that would be useful to me.

I only own one such at all, and I've only used it a very few times. Once to install my own OS, once to install a different one I leave at my brother's house because his laptop is having issues and I go over there to watch movies with him, and once to install that same one (Mint in those cases, Pop for mine) on my parent's computer.

If I find a good enough use case, I would start carrying at least one. But for now I just rewrite this one for whatever things I need at the time.

Shit there's like 3 other people saying that hours ago.

A room-temperature superconductor.

Want there a post I saw just the other day about Nvidia starting to make open source releases with one of the upcoming driver updates? I just saw it yesterday and didn't even think I checked it out yet but it's somewhere here on my "look at better later" lists here.

It would be fine then if that was true.

I've never heard of used outside of a cable box. I didn't know security setups would be called that.

But with that information it makes sense.

You made me one of the 10k today

Why did they specifically mention to "secure home DVR recorders"?

Other than potentially losing some TV or movies, is that really a big deal next to the other items they mention? It seems really odd to mention one of the least important things.
