My downloads folder is a fucking mess and I’d absolutely do that.

Let’s start with this: murdering people is bad.

That being said, if someone is determined to murder people for infamy and attention, let’s give all the attention we can to those who kill parasite CEOs while saying nothing about those who kill random civilians and children.

Don’t forget getting the interview.

I’ve got the right column on lock. I’ve never had an interview that wasn’t followed by an offer. But I was still stuck in a dead-end job for years trying to get an interview.

Once I finally got an interview adjacent to my field, I was promoted within 6 months, then poached by another organization a year after that and had quadrupled my income in under 2 years.

But it took forever to get that process started.

I work in municipal government.

Microsoft does have a separate government- specific subscription with slightly different features, and that may be part of it.

The most annoying part of the government system is that it only allows one MS account to be logged in on a mobile device, so for people with accounts in multiple municipalities (e.g. county officials needing access to permitting data from several cities), they need a different device for each system.

I’ve never run across any of that. There must be some implementation issue that affects some companies and not others, because the 2 places I’ve worked since Teams took over everything have been flawless on all of that (except for Linux- and I really don’t care about that from a business perspective where everyone is going to use Windows).

At my office, it works flawlessly for what we use it for, which is video conferences and chat. We don’t mess with the workspaces and stuff.

The only thing I truly hate about it is that you can’t export a log of a chat. As a government worker, I’m waiting for the lawsuit over Open Records over the lack of that feature.

The most important part of developing hacking tools is to have a UI that includes text scrolling really quickly with little beep, blip, and bloop noises.

That was episode 3. Episode 2 was the one that took place the night before and was basically a gathering of all these characters from 8 years of television who had never been together interacting the night before a battle.

s8e2 was one of the best episodes of the series. I don’t know how the same team could make that episode and the rest of the season.

Though I’ll give the finale props for the scene with Breinne writing down Jamie’s accomplishments. That was an excellent moment in an otherwise bad ending.

It’s not the 10 grand. It’s that a gun was stolen. Someone who walks into a store and steals a gun is the kind of person you want to identify and track down. If we catch them stealing a gun on camera, we can follow them out of the store with the other cameras and grab a plate number from a car.

It happened on another occasion where we saw the gun being stolen in real-time. We were able to track them on camera and call the police with a plate number and have the gun recovered.

We didn’t physically stop them from stealing the gun because that’s the kind of syluspect who will start shooting, and half the customers would pull out their own handguns and “help” by putting more lead into the air.

It was a high-traffic area of a retail store. Motion alert is useless.

No.

I worked at a major outdoors retailer with a “gun library” of high-end firearms.

In one of our quarterly steel audits (where we pull all 10,000 guns put hands on them, verify the serials, etc) we discovered a $10,000 rifle was missing.

The thing is, the case it was in obscured the gun itself from the security cameras. It was behind like 6 other guns in a glass case any customer could item and pull the guns out to look at them (guns themselves were trigger-locked of course).

So we had to have the gun library manager sit there and watch 3 month’s of surveillance video of a specific case that was proclaimed opened 20 times an hour in a highly-trafficked area of the store. Because of all the activity, the video had to be watched in real time, and we were open 13 hours a day.

The manager ended up quitting over the boredom combined with stress.

I voted mostly for my local elections. Those are sometimes determined by a dozen votes and can have a huge impact on day to day life.

I voted, but since I’m not in a swing state I wouldn’t go so far as to say my vote counted.

Also, vote if you haven’t yet.

My Galaxy Note 8 is a backup phone. It was a flagship when it launched, yeah. But even so, it’s 7 years old, the last update for it was over 2.5 years ago, and it’s still chugging along like a champion.

Smartphone design is mostly a solved problem. Take today’s screens and processors and throw in a few features from the past (removable storage, IR blaster, and headphone jack) and you have a 10-year phone.

I used to get a new phone every year because phone got way better each generation.

My phone is top-tier from 2021 (Z Fold 3), and I have had zero temptation from the newer versions. All they really have is faster processing, but since all apps are designed to run well on budget phones from 5 years ago, there’s no reason to upgrade.

Google was recently successfully sued for being anit-competitive by paying third parties to set Google as the default search engine.

That payoff by Google is like 90% of Mozilla’s income, which is probably disappearing. So yeah, they’re in full panic to fill that gap.

Last time I got pretty deep in, but it became impossible when the chess notation rule required Cs and Ds, making it impossible to stay below the roman numberal sum limit.
