There is always something you can do about it. Always.

I should have said a small battery backup done properly knowing full well the abysmal QA of that company.

Ya I hear you. I don’t even like driving modern cars because they are all electrical and the pedals feel like video game controls. But nothing in the Tesla is built well. I fully believe it possible to build a full proof battery backup and not just hook up a random 12v that probably suffers from the same abysmal QA as the rest of the car.

Or the foresight to have a small backup battery unit used exclusively for emergencies like say when the battery goes out or when someone reverses their car into a lake. The fact these are such death traps shows just how bad the US is when it comes to giving a flying fuck about people over money.

And all the while Elon is touted as some kind of super Lex Lutherian genius.

Honestly if I wrote a fictional book with some of the shit he’s done and how the world looks at him publishers would throw it back in my face as being the most unbelievable POS they’ve read in the past 20 years.

A stop gap till what? There just isn’t anything left to “labour” for?

It’s worded better in the US? 🙃

Clowns have it backwards. Instead of empowering workers to make better things, to receive better education and actually become a force in this modern world, they are empowering employers so they can exploit them more. It’s like their government has a collective IQ of 6 (+/- 3). You just can’t make up this level of stupid.

According to Microsoft whistleblower Andrew Harris, Microsoft spent years ignoring a vulnerability while he proposed fixes to the “security nightmare.” Instead, Microsoft feared it might lose its government contract by warning about the bug and allegedly downplayed the problem

This says everything about this shitty company. Worst of the worst. Because that’s how they make 90% of their cash. By exploiting licensing deals and siphoning data to sell to whomever because they do not care who it is so long as they bid the highest.

It’s amazing no one has tried to break up their control over PCs. Make this world make sense.

You can’t. That’s how activation lock works. You need to bring the owner to the Apple Store some random letter won’t suffice. It’s bricked.

Lmao. Fold it to so it looks really legit. Make sure there’s a crease. What nonesense.

I’ve just started hiding penises in my work. Your move AI.

Yeah thank the heavens the deal was squashed. It was a bold move even for Adobe.

Building a NAS in this day and age is trivial. Hard drive space is cheaper and far more economical than paying $20 a month for a service. The way prices are going it’s going to soon hit parity with car payments.

I had an old PC from 2012 with an i3 dual core in it. Ran a headless Linux server. Raided the 2 3TB drives. Done. It was replaced by a 4 TB SSD and since those have nowhere near the failure rates of HDDs, one and one. It servers files off my main computer which is a beefy Mac.

Enabled file sharing. Opened the port on my firewall. Done. It’s one of the easiest services to offload to a homebuilt rig.

They are considered malware at this point. The telemetry they collect the fact that your machine has to run a slew of daemons and that they are binding it all behind your mandatory Adobe account that has all your financial details, kinda shows how users rights are in the dark ages digitally speaking.

Ya no argument there. Adobe is way out of bounds. We have largely moved to Figma but that was like pulling teeth as every was using Ps and Ai when I joined. Ai for wireframes had me tossing at night not gonna lie!

The PSDs it spits out lose a lot of editing capabilities and have limited functionality. TIFF is destructive our clients would shit if we gave them tiffs.

Hi, please to meet you. Can I get you anything, coffee, danish? No? Ok, please have a seat. Let me just say, based on your resume, you seem very qualified for the position. So let’s just get the standard questions out of the way. As an Optimus humanoid, what kind of value do you see bringing our company?

You also shouldn’t use them as a safe way to store things. They routinely delete shit or bake your data and point to their EULA like sorry buddy, no guarantees. Your stuff is not safe there at all.

Far better to store locally and just create a way to share it or access it from your home network.
