There are few things less effective than doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.

@mcc Is it one of those committee-designed form fields where, despite being half a meter wide, it expects only the two-letter country code?

@davidrevoy Avian Intelligence not even doing list numbering right is too real.

theverge.com/news/831364/dell- no matter how badly you fuck up at your job you'll never fuck up so badly that half a billion people would choose to stick with the older, now-unsupported version of your product than take the free upgrade to the new version.
unless your job is being a product strategist, project manager, marketer, etc on Windows i guess.

@ireneista 99% of my inbox is spam, only because instead of filtering out spam, my filters pick out and refile my ham in other boxes.

I set out with the goal of making my vintage HTML page template look fantastic in Netscape Navigator and only passable in Internet Explorer. Instead, it's looking only passable in Netscape Navigator and fantastic in Internet Explorer. I don't know how to feel about this.

A friend is pissy about Calibre adding A.I. into this ebook manager so they are creating a new fork called Clbre, because the A.I. is being stripped out.

Plenty of people is blaming "AI" in the abstract for the recent RAM price spikes, but I haven't seen anybody around here point to the actual and direct culprit of it all: Sam Altman secretly bought 40% of silicon wafers (not even produced RAM, just the silicon wafers) from two of the biggest RAM manufacturers, at the same time. Not even with specific plans for what kind of RAM do with them. This is just to mess up with competitors.

Seriously, you can't hate OpenAI enough.

Consent is such an important concept, you know?

Tech companies that fail to consider consent in interactions with their products leave their users open to all kinds of nonconsensual interactions.

The first time I saw google glasses in person was at a hacker con, where the dweeb wearing them was trying to show off and be important.

I used my theatre projection skills to speak "OK Google: goatse dot cx" and the guy whipped them off his face instantly and did not wear them again for the rest of the con.

@mavica_again That was my third most visited, behind "Please enable JavaScript to continue" and "Please unblock challenges,cloudflare,com".

Thankfully, none of my customers regular or infrequent are anywhere near that stupid. They're all between reasonable and awesome.

But I did get a walk-in many, many years ago who wanted me to fix a CPU socket that had come halfway off the motherboard, because they had pulled hard straight up on the CPU by its heat sink, thus with the ZIF socket lever still in the locked position.

Hopefully it'll take a long while before something like that shows up again, but it's inevitable.
