  • Technician Proximity Syndrome, happens in every field.

    I honestly love those calls, it makes for an easy win and an amused user (normally). My favorite was when I worked for a car dealership, as I'd routinely get called into the shop for a computer issue only to have the tech go to reproduce the issue and it worked fine.

    The number of times I heard "Man, now I know how my customers feel" was pretty damned funny.

  • 40% getting people to reboot, 40% getting people to reboot despite their lies that they already did,

    "Sir, I need you to reboot your computer"

    "Sure, let me juuuuust restart.... Huh, doesn't seem to have solved the problem"

    "Sir, I'm remoted into your computer and can see you didn't actually reboot."

    So many goddamned times while I was on first line....

  • Sounds like the middleman will get cut once the person paying for the work to be done realizes that they don’t have to pay a person for the work to get done

    Sounds like someone doesn't understand how much work goes into getting a usable work product out of AI output. Fuck, I can't even get the stupid fucking things to not make up shit constantly, and have to police the output to make sure it doesn't decide to delete my whole directory or something.

    Why would your boss pay you when you don’t even do the work or posses the skills?

    Unironically the exact mentality stupid owners have wrt AI. But sure, coders can be replaced by a stochastic parrot that is more likely to give you advice on how to bathe with a toaster than accurately solve your problem in a way that doesn't leave you massively exposed.

  • It's probably not reasonable to expect this to improve in 2026.

  • Windows 10 (I haven't used 11) was better than Windows 8 in terms of how unified the settings were

    A bar so low we need a geological survey to find it.

  • Resistance is growing and there are tens of millions of Americans who aren't staying home.

    Honestly, I can hope, but tens of millions of people in the streets doesn't engender much hope when 90 million stayed home last November and helped put us here.

    A ton of the the people who constantly harp on voting not being enough tend to be the same people who don't show up on voting day imo.

  • Check mate, atheists.

  • Someone could point to the horrible acts done in the name of religion, but just imagine if those people didn't have the fear of god in them

    Lol no. Imagine if these people didn't think they were still righteous in the eyes of god, maybe they might not have felt the need to torture in the name of their god.

  • Part of it was (imo) a lack of good comedic timing to the point of aiming for antihumor.

    The rake gag was funny because it was usually just a 5-10 second gag in scene and they moved on. It wasn't some non sequitur that has little to no relation to the contents of the scene.

  • Cans in a bag are going to have too much of a wind up time to be a good defense utility

  • After season 2 or 3, they ran out of funny scenes to add, so they just kept adding stupid shit like yet another over long chicken fight or the 50th hurt knee gag.

    Because if it's barely funny once, keep doing it until it can never be funny again.

  • You can absolutely blame AI for the explosion in slop books. Just because a bad thing happened before AI doesn't mean it wasn't made much worse by it.

  • Tag - 2015

    It's a gory as hell japanese horror flick that I had to watch after seeing a gif of the bus scene (tw: death/blood)

  • Sec+ will probably help, security is in high demand these days. I chose systems because I could see how much heartburn that would give me and didn't want to deal with it. If nothing else, having a lot of skills under your belt can help you better sell yourself.

    Also, look into learning a scripting/programming language, that's another skill that can take you far. Since I'm a win admin, I went with powershell, and I use it every day (and it's one of the reasons my employer hired me, because I love programming and hate doing repetitive/menial bullshit). I've gotten tons of kudos from my team (and saved hundreds of man hours) for the various processes I've automated.

  • I felt the same way when I got my A+ a decade ago (it really is worthless in practice if you already know a good bit about computers), but it at least unlocked the door to my career, so I can't complain looking back

  • Made in space? Start-up brings factory in orbit one step closer to reality

    Jump

  • That we aren't working on solving our many crises has nothing to do with whether or not we're in space. You're tying together two issues that have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

    Climate change and space travel are literally opposing goals. If we send people to space, we add more greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. If we stop polluting the atmosphere with dead dino farts we cant get people into space.
