I was once responsible for a student house (we don’t have dorms in the US sense, this is the closest we have) and I have similar experiences but less extreme. My favourite was when I had forgotten to configure DHCP filtering and someone plugged in a router the wrong way so it started offering DHCP (that didn’t work) to everyone in the building, in a race with our upstream ISP.
Wow. Since I’ve met so many of that kind of person online that tonight never crossed my mind.
It’s even worse than what you suggest.
Try finding:
These are regular requirements for office work that I’ve had trouble with.
Oh and I also routinely have trouble turning off my computer, it just freezes at a black screen. This is a stationary computer with nothing weird in it.
The or part in that statement is really what kills you, as you sort of imply. You spend five hours almost getting your scanner to work, some times, unreliably.
That’s a worse outcome than the scanner refusing to work entirely in many cases.
I needed it for a printer the other day!
Sounds like that should be assholes without cars
Teachers are fairly decently paid where I live but the job is shit so nobody wants it. They don’t employ enough teachers so everyone is being worked to death, and they keep adding new admin tasks, reporting tools, standardised tests, etc that makes everything worse. Also they keep doing stupid reorganisations all the time.
I tried to read the linked Twitter thread from Ars and good god it’s terrible. Half of it is people complaining about the demo version without understanding that it’s the demo version. Even though people in the thread keep explaining it to them.
Does this happen to you often? My impression is people usually tell you after they’ve succeeded.
Kyriarchy encompasses sexism, racism, ableism, ageism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Catholicism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, classism, xenophobia, economic injustice, the prison-industrial complex, colonialism, militarism, ethnocentrism, speciesism, linguicism and other forms of dominating hierarchies
Anti-Catholicism? You mean the global formal hierarchy that’s solidly historically in support of fascism and against feminism? O…Kay. Why is that the literally only religion listed there? I get why you’d want to protect minority religious practices but why single out Catholicism?
Wow, uh, that’s uncalled for but I guess user name checks out.
It’s extremely sensible to think it’s not great for someone in a position of authority to use that authority to do the things they’re meant to do and not other things.
In this case I think the terrible code really, as they say in fashion, completes the look
My wife talked about how Grok apparently seemed promising in AI benchmarks for a while until everyone realised the way they’re winning is by absolutely blindly outspending everyone on GPUs and brute forcing the fuck out of the problem rather than having good anything.
This seems to match that approach (and, more generally, everything Musk is doing).
I’m kind of worried about Celebration, Florida now. It always seemed too much of a Stepford Wives type situation but now it’s just ridiculous.
This is one of the hardest earned lessons I’ve ever learned, and I’ve had to learn it over and over again. I think it’s mostly stuck now but I still make the same mistake from time to time.
As in efficient per watt or some other metric?
and Intel was releasing foxes and shit
I realise this is an autocorrect error, but it’s still funny 🦊
I’ve fallen for it too and I’m technically a security researcher depending on how you read my job description
What the hell is Denuvo?
Also, the times rats got into the networking room and ate random cables. I should add the network was built by volunteer students in the ‘90s.
