  • Marketing: the end product just isn't right. We need to make it more fun. You know like a game.

    dev: What are you talking about.

    Marketing: There's this new thing called gamification. Let's do that.

    Dev: First off thats not new, its been around for ages. Whatever, what are you even talking about?

    Marketing: Yeah you know, make it fun! Give people awards for accomplishing certain tasks or reaching milestones. Lots of flashy lights and celebratory music. We do it in presentations and training all the time.

    Dev: That's what xp, leveling, magic items, special skills, etc are. Your asking me to gamify a fucking video game?!?!

    Marketing: Yeah exactly! Its gonna be awesome!

  • I 100% agree. my response was intended to be sarcasm about how full of shit they are. as if they only trick themselves into believing it in the moment and as soon as the moment passes so does their belief.

    That isn't to say I think they actually believe anything they say. I foolishly thought the sarcasm was obvious, I should probably just add /s bt efault.

  • You can get rolls of the stuff that you cut to size too. Its amazing badaids suck anyway. Basically change your bandage any time you see a sink compared to go swimming in the ocean with tegaderm and still keep using the same one.

  • I had a similar issue with a SAS drive In the backplane of a dell server. I thought for sure the drive was failing. Reseated it, cleaned the ports, ran some tests, just kept failing without any obvious signs why it was. Replaced it with a spare and same issue. That seemed very unlikely, so I put the old drive in another slot and its still running just fine going on 2 years without an issue. If you have another toaster give it a try.

    The market is rife with cheapo junk tech. Ive seen several crapo off brand drive toasters fail, so thats possible. I don't know the brand of yours so I can't speak to them.

    It could also just be the power supply for the toaster is crapping out, or doesn't provide enough amperage. Those power supplies dont always keep providing the same amount of power forever, sometimes it drops over time, and that could be the cause too. Or they could be poorly made, meaning they probably drop in even short time periods.

    If you have another power supply with the same voltage and higher amperage, you could try that. You could also try running only one drive in there and see if it keeps failing, if no issues, you could try the other drive and see if that one has issues. If that one doesn't have issues either it could indicate power issues.

  • Should i trust proton?

    Jump

  • I think soc 2 type ii is nice, but I also don't think it really says much about privacy in the context of me trusting what a business will do with my personal data. its been 4 or so years since if done an soc audit, so please correct me if I'm wrong. From what I recall its primarily geared toward security in general and when they say privacy, they mean securing your data from use unauthorized by the business.

    The distinction im making here is that, from what I recall, soc 2 type ii says nothing about what can be done with your data (e.g. selling data to brokers, training ai, targeting ads, unclear/communicated eula changes, etc.). During these, and most other, security audits you can make business arguments as to why you should be exempt from various security mechanism or configs. These systems also don't protect from techno fascist douchebaggery like feeding the government information on individuals without warrant or just cause, to assist in targeting minorities or activists for example.

    To be clear, I use proton, I think its great, and MOSTLY trust them with my data. I do also like that they got soc 2 type ii, i wasnt aware till now so thanks for the heads up. I'm not accusing or trying to infer any wrong doing either. Mostly trying to point out this doesn't resolve potential abuses some folks may have concerns about after ceo/board member/whateverthefuckingtitleis drama.

    Thanks for coming to my ted talk...

  • There are companies that make you watch anti union propaganda as part of orientation. They also pay tons of money to bust up any attempts at unionization. The disinformation thats pushed put about unions is baffling. Anything from its communism to the unions steal your money. Its not super surprising to me at this point.

    On the flip side all the wealthy actors are union... Says a thing or two...

  • Does anyone know of good single-use virtual credit cards. Specifically for online purchases like flights or hotels where you can limit the card to one time use or a max limit?

    Jump

  • Login to your credit card portal and check if they have it. I noticed mine has it as a free service now.

    Edit: free service with my my cc account not straight up free to everyone with no cc.

  • If your in the US you can tell them you'll report them to the FTC and fcc as unsolicited spam text messages that have no means to opt out. They must provide a means to stop receiving text messages per can spam act. If they refuse you report them and then they face 50k in fines per message. You also get to have federal record at least that you didn't want the text messages. You could also file a police report. The cops may roll their eyes, but just tell them you just want something on record that the former number owner waa a shady character and want to avoid any potential legal issues in the future for having their number and getting weird calls or texts.

  • How bad is Android Auto for privacy

    Jump

  • Yeah same experience for me. I assumed it was an issue with the routing table, but manually updating it didn't seem to help. I assumed I was just not good enough at networking on android. I'd believe google would try to crap on that too though.
