Got a USB WiFi adapter that first mounted as a fake CD ROM drive with some software that I had to install before it'd actually function as a WiFi adapter. That's a new one on me. How does that even work

I'm now thinking what if I Just Got A Laptop and docked it in with all my desktop shit (monitors, mouse & keyboard etc) when i want to go desktop-mode π€β
then i could just have one computer for everything & the high price of the laptop would be less of a stinger since it'd be replacing two things lol

since i got my work laptop last year it's been doing weird shit with audio that i could never figure out, adding reverb and weird boosting that made so many things sound awful, obviously some post-processing coming from somewhere but there was nothing enabled in either windows audio settings nor the realtek drivers
anyway today i found there's a THIRD thing called "Waves MaxxAudio" installed and THAT was the culprit. I turned it off and now everything sounds normal. Fucks sake

i would probably like to build my own but i would have to buy a fucking windows license wouldn't i
even though i was considering getting a new laptop i've now started thinking "hey what if i got a new desktop instead" hmmmmm
i prefer using a desktop in many ways tbh & my current one is ancient
i would probably have to keep the old one around for now for certain purposes (e.g. rom dumping) but could at least re-case it in a more compact case and only hook it up when i need it

Did an experiment for my university degree. Dressed as a homeless person & tried to enter unrestricted public buildings. Such as libraries, etc. I was so shocked & upset that 91%(!) of public buildings refused me access that I changed my career path to work with homelessness.

The thing about #tech #layoffs that people who havenβt been through it often donβt understand is that morale never recovers. The employees who remain will never have the same relationship with that company, bosses or peers.
Watching people you respect pack their stuff and crying on the phone with their spouses is something that never goes away. When I survived a layoff in my 20s I became a βdo exactly what the ticket saysβ person. I stopped suggesting ideas, providing feedback, believing anything a manager told me.
If you are a company considering layoffs, especially a profitable company, you should approach it as βthis department will have 100% turnoverβ. The second I got another job offer I left that company and six months later nobody who had been there at the time of layoffs remained.
Iβve seen that pattern play out multiple times.
I've put together a page about one of the more interesting handhelds I acquired recently

I'm planning to follow a similar approach for documenting more stuff & I'd welcome feedback on how it's presented & organised & anything else you want to see in there
