They are probably confusing ânobody noticedâ(TM) with ânobody caredâ(TM).

Yay, a new version of OS Update Simulator Extreme.

I haven't touched my existing Xbox in years because I know what's waiting for me...100 gigabyte update culture. If they make updates optional I may consider console gaming again

I have a friend who had an old Samsung Flip and a new Flip. Samsung promised up and down they fixed the screen cracking issue. Of course, the new one cracked in even less time(1 year) than the first (1.5 years). When you try to get a warranty repair they blame you for the damage, and want to charge $400 to repair it. Basically they want you buying or paying hundreds of dollars to repair the phone every year. It's a scam

Let me guess, 100% onsite office work with no free parking in a perpetually congested area of town? Sure there's no shortage of openings as people are constantly leaving/suiciding for a better options. If you're remote and looking for a raise your current employer will never give you, you're probably out of luck. I've already moved to a lower cost country to make it work, I'll be damned if I step foot in another highrise.

Comment Re:I never understood cheating (Score 2) 108

Cheating becomes a serious problem when the cheater choses a medical profession such as a Doctor, Pharmacist etc.

I really wouldn't care if they cheated on a entry-level History, Art, or other loser-oriented topic people would only take seriously because they don't want to learn much of anything new beyond what they learned in high school. The result of getting caught is the same, however, which doesn't really make sense. A doctor without an education in ancient world history is like a fish missing its bicycle

It's nothing new. I figured out all the various essay sharing websites in middle school, and I did not write a single paper in high school or college. That's 20 years ago with no ChatGPT, but with cheat detection software. It was basically an IQ test, idjits who turned in other people's work unaltered were obviously caught.

Now that ChatGPT is a thing I might even consider going back to school, now that it's much easier to automate away the uninteresting, irritating non-engineering fluff.

why are these exchanges

Simply put, to rob their customers...notice every exchange "got hacked", clearly inside jobs. Now that the price of crypto is crashing, there is pressure on exchange operators to "cash out", aka seal the deal on robbing their customers as planned, and convert it to a real currency before it all becomes worthless. So we'll be seeing these "issues" a lot.

Yeah getting interrupted constantly by idiots in the hallway is such a plus. More like, "we don't want to pay for a decent staff, so we need to trap you in a room with special needs people we bought at a discount so you can baby them into productivity". Sorry, not doing that anymore. I'll sooner abandon my career than go back to the office/adult daycare
