    Have you tried putting socks on it?

  • I've not tried it, but I know some people claim that you can use your printer's heated bed to dry it out. Probably not the most energy efficient way to do it, but seems like it would work.

  • Really, because since I blocked most meme communities, I feel like all I'm getting in Lemmy lately is news about Twitter and Bluesky.

  • That's quite a wall of text there. I work in IT, probably the first part of the tech sector to be outsourced, and it has been known as a bad idea for a long time, but it keeps happening. I know of one fortune 50 company that, a little over 1 year ago, outsourced their IT to India. Everything from help desk to knowledge management. They are bringing it back because it was a disaster.

    That isn't to blame India. I'm sure it is full of skilled workers, but you don't outsource to get the best, you outsource to get cheaper. So what you end up with is the worst workers. And then you tack on a language barrier on top of that and suddenly work in the US grinds to a halt. The problem is, it does save money for a few quarters, the execs who pushed it get their bonuses, and then the real cost hits as systems break down.

  • Its uses are way more subtle than the hype, but even LLMs can have uses, occasionally. Specifically, I use one to categorize support tickets. It just has to pick from a list of probable categories. Nice and simple for it. Something humans can do just as easily, but when you have a history of 2 million tickets that need to be categorized, suddenly the LLM can do it when it would drive a human insane. I'm sure there are lots of little tasks like that. Nothing revolutionary, but still valuable.

  • Of course everyone's ears are different, but for me, my Jabras lock in. They aren't going anywhere. They are designed to be twisted into place, causing a literal lock into your ear. I can force them out without touching them, but it takes work to do it, they aren't falling out on their own, and if they start to come loose, I'll know instantly because the seal is broke and I can hear that they aren't settled in right.

  • LLMs aren't it, but AI, as in the computer science field, has been helping the medical industry since it has existed.

  • LLMs are AI as it is defined in Computer Science, not SciFi. And the lane assist on your car might also be, although it may just be a well tuned PID for all I know.

  • It is important to remember that the legal power of unions was bought in blood. Both of the workers and the their bosses. I really hope we don't end up there again, but I do think that it can happen.

  • M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location

    Jump

  • Nah, if you are racking computers, and they don't have built in lights out management, you open them up and connect remote triggers to the power button leads, allowing you to remotely start them if they get shut off. I'm sure lots of companies do have Mac farms for Mac and iOS development, but I doubt Apple give a crap one way or another about them.

  • Another fun fact: On the backend, Teams uses SharePoint to store files, and Exchange to store message. The whole M365 stack is a house of cards built on ancient tech. It's a wonder it works at all.

  • And Google? I'm sure some companies use Google Apps for Business or whatevere they are calling it now, but the vast majority use Microsoft 365. Which does basically tie you to Windows, annoyingly. Especially if they are following industry and Microsoft best practices with MDM and Conditional Access.

  • I recommend giving Sidebery a shot. It allows you to use a vertical list of tabs instead, that follow a tree hierarchy, so you can have an entire group together and collapsable. Before it was Tree Style Tabs, but development of that seems to have slowed to a stop.

  • FYI, there are registry keys you can set to stop it from trying to upgrade. They are strong policy settings that Microsoft completely respects, for now at least.
