  • True, but this is all applicants as it's a third party website. So likely not a huge issue, but it does lead me to believe there are other issues with their data handling.

  • Would you hire someone for it if they willingly put in their SSN to a random sketchy, unsecure looking website? I have never had another online application ask for that.

  • When uploading my resume there was a little animation of a globe spinning.

  • We'll see if I get there, I obviously used a phony ss number because f that. I also have zero professional it experience, just homelab stuff, building PCs running a lemmy instance, that kind of stuff. I know I can do the job, it's just hard to get your foot in the door. I'm considering getting CompTia Network+

    How bad is this?

  • I like using fedora over Ubuntu, seems more stable and gets updated sooner. Idk about the politics of it though.

  • I wonder if people don't realize that running ai models requires high amounts of vram compared to system ram. They also might not realize that there is a ram chip shortage which doesn't necessarily mean ram sticks themselves. FOMO will likely drive up the prices more than anything.

  • It's usually the vocal minority making everything depressing and I find that if you block 20 or so communities or a handful of power users then you get a nice feed without missing out on anything.

  • The used market is always like that with the old top of the line stuff. If you look at old high end cpus the highest spec is always super high in price even though it's not as good as something newer you could get for a lower price. People just see higher number = better so they go for more cores and higher clock speeds. I'll bet you couldn't notice the difference between two sticks of 16gb vs 4 sticks of lower end 8gb ddr4. I'm seeing that the rgb sticks are quite a bit higher in price. I've seen that if I build a pc with old components and throw it in a glass case with cheap rgb lights that I get a lot of responses immediately. I have to wait a lot longer to sell a plain looking business pc even when it's higher specs and newer.

  • Isn't new ram ddr5 and ddr4 is old? I bought 3 i5-6500 machines with 16gb of ddr4 for $55/each and slapped in $30 rx480 GPs and been selling them for $150/each.

  • Kobra neo, a cheap printer to begin with. The y axis rail is extruded aluminum. Where they drilled the holes in the middle to attach it to the frame it pushed the aluminum out by a few thousands. Adjusting the carriage is either really tight in the middle of the rail or loose on the ends. The bed was also bent when I got it (common issue). I bent it back and added bed adjusters because otherwise the auto need leveling just couldn't compensate. It broke a y belt (common issue). It still has issues printing. I cannot get it to print petg at all even though the same roll of filament will work fine on another printer. All in all I wish I never bought the thing due to their poor quality control. It still prints PLA good enough so I keep it around because I wouldn't get anything if I try to sell it.

  • After having had an Anycubic printer, I would be extremely hesitant to buy one based on the quality of the one I have.

  • I actually hate Chicago suburbs because of the regressive property tax in Illinois. All schools are funded by local property taxes. That means that people in lower wage areas have to pay a much higher percentage of their income in taxes overall. It also means that rich suburbs get well funded schools while avoiding their own fair share. Illinois also has a regressive flat income tax, also benefiting rich people.

  • They call it duct tape because it sounds like duck tape which is the name brand. If it's labeled duct tape then it's just the generic version. Actual duct tape is foil tape or mastic.

  • Everything is a special model these days which makes the price higher. You don't see mid range, average cars anymore.

  • That's essentially eBay price for a used physical copy

  • At the time it would have been worth it to pick up a lot of games over an expensive pc. I'm not sure I would go out of my way to buy one today since most of the good games are on pc and can play on a pc without a gpu. If you find one for $20 at a garage sale then I would probably get it if you're into collecting games.

  • I'm so glad that he showed some games that aren't shooters/sports or pc games. I found there's a combo Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts / Viva Pinata that I decided to pick up. I've had a 360 collecting dust that I picked up cheap years ago and never really played it. I'll probably pick up a few more games for it if I find them for cheap.
