How did you know about my giraffe porn?

Maybe it has something to with home prices rising an average of about 7.5 % per year over the last 10 years which means more than doubling.

Bought my house 2 years ago and it had doubled in price since 2013.

I think the idea is that it’s the same amount of light is being used but the actual expensive part of the solar cell is cheaper and designed to take the increased heat. So the same size “solar unit” on the roof collecting the same amount of light and generating the same amount of energy but cheaper overall. At least that was my take. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I have an iPhone since the first one and I wanna try it to.

I really wish the Apple Watch were this customizable. This is so cool.

Real leaders would take the time to understand why someone doesn’t like them, do a little self reflection to see if it’s either a valid point or just a perception issue, and then work to fix the issue if there is one. If it’s just a person who just doesn’t like them but is good at their job, just ignore it. If they are truly not a good fit or just a bad actor who just thrives in negativity, then you either find a better fit for them or then you fire them.

I’m very much a pleaser type personality but if someone doesn’t like me for whatever reason, I don’t really sweat it if it doesn’t affect me personally. Most people like me but not everyone and that’s ok. This constant need to be surrounded by yes men and sycophants is just disturbing.

Not a developer per se (mostly virtualization, architecture, and hardware) but AI can get me to 80-90% of a script in no time. The last 10% takes a while but that was going to take a while regardless. So the time savings on that first 90% is awesome. Although it does send me down a really bad path at times. Being experienced enough to know that is very helpful in that I just start over.

In my opinion AI shouldn’t replace coders but it can definitely enhance them if used properly. It’s a tool like everything. I can put a screw in with a hammer but I probably shouldn’t.

It might have some side effects of affecting more than just the military, but codified right to repair into law is never going to be a bad thing IMO.

This is really going to confuse MAGA. Pro-military but anti-corporate profits…

I am what you would call a technology enthusiast, or what some people have dubbed as a gadget whore. I love little electronic devices that make my life easier. However, at no time in my life, will I ever need or desire a toothbrush that needs WiFi access or a subscription to some service. It really isn’t necessary or even useful. It’s like the old comic about the toilet that needs a phone app.

I have worked in fast food before and cleaned out the normal ones and I know how infrequently they get cleaned.

If someone calls themselves an “influencer“ I immediately want to punch them in the face.

Yeah most of the content I watch is still useful years later. Now it may not be super current since tech changes so fast, but still useful. If you have to stay in someone’s face all the time to stay memorable, you’re not memorable or relevant.

I remember these.…

And …

And…

You mean like we all did if you’re like me and started writing code in late 80s to mid 2000s?

Fucking amateurs…

I have this printed on a sign at work.

Yep totally agree. And I also like boobies.

Ok I have problems with these cutoffs for ages. My wife is 57 (1967) and is very definitely a gen x’er.

I have several Logitech peripherals. Why in the fuck does it need AI?!?!

Until the fetus can survive on its own it is a parasite.

Wait… no I’m pretty sure that might still be the case when they graduate college and can’t get a job as well.
