  • Best part of college is how hands on your degree courses are, since they're trying to prepare you for work in the real world

  • I literally daily drive a laptop with a 4c/8t processor (6700-HQ) so I'm not sure what you're talking about other than perhaps the lower end i5s

    Edit to add, my other laptop with a third gen i5 is 2C/4T and getting pretty long in the tooth though, so I wouldn't go out of my way for something that old though

  • Prices of Windows 11 incompatible hardware have been dropping like a rock all year as companies upgrade their fleets, and it'll get far more pronounced once consumers start getting squeezed to upgrade to continue using software XYZ

  • imagine needing to install Java separately for every single program that needs it

    Isn't that pretty close to what already happens though? With all of the different versions of java, different companies packaging up their special versions of OpenJDK, I've got quite a few different java versions on my computer plus I'm pretty sure I've seen some software just package their own Java binary with the software presumably to limit Java version mismatches

  • I tend to annoy people by dropping off the gas much sooner for lights than strictly necessary, but by gently slowing I both save gas, wear and depending on the timing of the light I can often even time it to miss the red entirely

  • Trump Scraps Town Hall Q+A, Plays Music for Crowd Instead | The former president said, "Let's just listen to music," and abruptly stopped answering questions [for 30 minutes]

  • Pretty sure one of those is even a foot!

  • Majority of Americans want second debate between Trump and Harris: Poll

  • I've watched my MIL completely lose all capability of critical thinking since becoming a trump supporter. She was a very smart person with good education and great street smarts, but by their words they didn't like when Obama met only with democratic party leadership shortly after becoming president, and therefore voted for trump in 2016. At the time they would've been split ticket voters, voting Trump for president, but vocally in opposition to our republican governor at the time. The by the pandemic they were spouting nonsense that was opposing basic germ theory (MIL was a nurse for a while!) and now all of her kids are socially and emotionally separating from her more and more. For someone with 4 kids who's all about their family, she sure is doing a great job of alienating her entire family!

    So yeah, I strongly believe that becoming part of Trump's cult of personality harms peoples ability to think critically about anything based on my anecdata

  • I have a few accounts floating around for different services Microsoft has bought out or since integrated logins for. I genuinely don't know how many Microsoft accounts I have, and it's always a pain trying to guess which one a given service is on

  • The biggest problem with the bubble that IT insulates themselves into is that if you don't users will never submit tickets and will keep coming to you personally, then get mad when their high priority concern sits for a few days because you were out of office but the rest of the team got no tickets because the user decided they were better than a ticket.

    If people only know how to summon you through the ancient ritual of ticket opening with sufficient information they'll follow that ritual religiously to summon you when needed. If they know "oh just hit up Rob on teams, he'll get you sorted" the mysticism is ruined and order is lost

    Honestly I say this all partially jokingly. We do try to insulate ourselves because we know some users will try to bypass tickets if given any opportunity to do so, but there is very much value in balancing that need with accessability and visibility. So the safe option is to hide in your basement office and avoid mingling, but thats also the option that limits your ability to improve yourself and your organization
