Dickhead, this article is less than 2 weeks old, heck it might even be a week. Some kind of coffee shop.
They weren't in the fucking habit of letting people in after closing time, they were in the habit of serving customers, busily and no one had time to walk to the door and flip the "closed, fuck off" sign - once they attempted to instigate said "closed, fuck off" rule a black woman got uppity about it and all hell ensued on social media.
As someone who very very foolishly sat on his laurels and let my mediocre knowledge wane even more over the past 5 years, I appreciate your reply.
The apparent expectations of system administrators, general support people appears to be going along the path of "if you don't know some kind of scripting, you're worthless". I continue to see things which seem to imply I need to be a goddamn programmer in order to get a job.
I envy programmers, they're clever people, it takes a hell of a lot of work. I've been in this industry for a heck of a long time and managed to get a reasonable way, without ever needing to really code. Maybe an advanced batch file here and there.
The industry seems to be changing. I don't know if it's for the best or not but it seems to me a whole heck of a lot more mid tier IT people are about to become either unemployed or bottom level chumps.
Look at the business which recently had people coming through the door late in the evening, AFTER closing time, they let people through but eventually had to cut new customers off at a certain point in time.
Unfortunately, the next customer to try was a black woman,....
Do I need to explain the rest? Suffice to say, total social media mess, people fired, was any of this deliberate? Who knows? Based on the original posted story, Occam's razor says no.
Regardless. Customers can be idiots and cause unwarranted complaints and rating bombing to occur.
I mean it's great people are doing this but we're not all Americans with access to Amazon.
The fact we can't buy a cable from any old place is annoying.
On top of this, it's the using a friends cable problem too at their place. It's a real mess and I think it needs re-branding or forced colour designations or something.
Is there an alternative to that? That's terrifying. I still don't 'get' USB-C What happens if you have power, running into the USB-C expensive hub, plugged into the laptop? It should charge the laptop, right? Ok so you know it doesn't quite do it, what happens if you then plug ANOTHER charger into your other USB-C port? Although some might say "hey that's a stupid idea" and in some ways, I'd agree, it does actually kinda make some sense. Would it work? Could things break or burn?
This has become an entire debacle. I don't even need to read the article to agree with it.
Nerds have had to look for "Bensen Approved" cables on Amazon, thanks to his efforts reviewing cables. But he can't review every product on earth.
The complexities of USB-C is awful, terrible. The potential to fry devices, the potential to buy cables which don't run at the right speed, the potential to buy cables which don't transmit video or something you're after.
Total and utter mess, truly is.
You can no longer visit a pals office or home and just borrow a cable and plug your device in. It might charge terribly or blow up.
I do not know what is going to be done to fix this but as it stands, adoption seems atrociously slow. I personally own 0 devices and have no intention of picking any up, any time soon.
As soon as he got sick of mediocre journalism, within 48 hours I saw "Elon Musk, Tech Trump?" and "Elon Musk, just another nazi!" headlines pretty much on most sites.
That womans tweet is a fucking prime example "PLEASE SOMEONE PROVIDE ME THE NEWS I WANT TO PRINT"
If the media keep behaving this way, they'll continue to create people skeptical of them.
This is the second dipshit to assume I'm a leftie responding. Look at my post history and walk away embarrassed.
Congratulations on seeing politics everywhere, you're as bad as the SJWs you think you're mocking (you're missing, by a long shot, I sit right in the middle)
I can't believe stupid people are actually thinking my post is political. I'm literally no longer what would be classed as a leftist and I'm regularly moderated on this very site by the extreme left here. I'd almost say I'm probably in some posters "omg ugh, he's an alt-right!!" list.
This isn't about politics, it's about common sense.
I'm not talking about the poor, I'm talking about those who were middle and upper middle or the chidlren of middle / upper middle, seeing "oh fuck, shit I'm going to be poorer than my parents"
The division between the rich and poor, is without a question, worse than it was in 1999. Hope is fading out for the middle and lower class. The middle class becomes smaller, soon to be just "the poors and the rich"
On top of this, the world is straight the fuck up, dying. We're not working towards protecting it very well, we're not working towards replacing it (finding a new one elsewhere)
Then we have the internet, it's giving the poor access to see what's going on in the world better, they can see just how rich the rich are becoming, they can see the death of the world better than ever before, they can communicate with each other (as I am right now) elaborating on why there's little hope.
Co2 is up, heat is up, methane bubbles are going off in siberia, animals are dying out, bees are dying off, America is slowly crumbling into debt. (no, I'm not American)
No fucking shit suicides are up 30%, I have to wonder what % of the suicide people are actually mentally broken or just strong enough to say "you know what, fuck all this"
Seriously, just spend one full month with zero features being added, none at all and let all your coders just try to increase performance, because, Android isn't bad but it's not good. I've been on it for 7 years now and still older iPhones with half the specs feel snappier. I don't care if the iPhone is faking the snappy feel, the end result is it feels right.
Project treble is the first particularly clever sounding, big improvement in a while too, keep at this kind of stuff
I also very much echo the other guy. More emoji? Who cares! This is a bullet point? Really? Really?
The extreme left and the game media (so in otherwords, also the extreme left) are trying to police anything and everything as triggering.
Can't have boobs in a game, can't have women in a game that look attractive, can't have weird hentai sex games (it's fiction you idiots, if you don't like it, don't buy or play it!) etc etc.
They continue to bray and whine and cry over any and everything in the last few years, getting worse and worse. Already the Japanese are starting to censor their shit as default before they even release stuff here, because they know the Western markets are full of easily triggered children.
Note: I do not play ANY of these goddamn games, I'm just so sick of the whining from these people.
If some idiot wants to play a Japanese tentacle in 18 year old girl in nuns outfit game, let him do it, these same people (at one point) used to argue "fuck the media! games do NOT cause violence, it's fiction!" - so what is it? Is the tentacle game making people want to go and tentacle girls or not?
I'm curious to know what a 3rd camera would offer a phone? I've seen the pictures from an iPhone X with the fake depth of field thing, regardless of it being fake, it does look really quite nice.
Modern smartphone cameras are really good, even for a single lense. Any smart guys here know what a full 3 could do for a phone?
Oh and all the comments whining about the headphone jack? Agreed entirely. Idiotic move, I'll wait for someone else to copy the 3 cameras, when it's on a phone with a headphone jack.
Every time a liberal *genuinely* attempts to compare the republican party (or infact, anyone, including other liberals they don't agree with) as a nazi, they lose favour.
They look stupid, they look ridiculous, they look crazy. It's not a good look. The endless name calling and branding is mind boggling, how people can be just that dense.
Worst part is for the ex-lefties who are now centrists or perhaps still somewhat left. They don't want to vote right but they feel compelled to, because they can't bring themselves to associate with such wildly insane people.
Let's go punch a nazi and fire whitey from his job, privileged cracker has had it too good for too long!
I know PC gaming is (at times) waning vs console, especially in say, sales of a ported game. (Example GTAV, PS3, 360, PS4, Xbox One and PC) the PC version/generally/ would sell less.
However. The PC library with it's true backwards compatibility and age, the immense volume, the new Chinese customers, seriously 15 million? I would've happily believed Steam has an install base of at least 50 to 100million PCs at any time.

He may be talking about process nodes, which normally Intel win at - they're either straight up ahead or they get to it before others do.
Intel 10nm appears delayed. AMD 7nm (actually 10, sigh) is probably going to beat Intel to shelves.
I know you're being facetious but the attitude you're posting about, is becoming sadly common, including on this website.
Is there an alternative to that?
That's terrifying. I still don't 'get' USB-C

Exactly what this guy said.
As soon as he got sick of mediocre journalism, within 48 hours I saw "Elon Musk, Tech Trump?" and "Elon Musk, just another nazi!" headlines pretty much on most sites.
That womans tweet is a fucking prime example "PLEASE SOMEONE PROVIDE ME THE NEWS I WANT TO PRINT"
If the media keep behaving this way, they'll continue to create people skeptical of them.
Insightful, thanks. Makes a lot of sense.
I'm also seeing a lot of that lately too, quite a bit.
I'll look into it, I'm definitely finding myself agitating people on both sides significantly more than I used to.
This is the second dipshit to assume I'm a leftie responding. Look at my post history and walk away embarrassed.
Congratulations on seeing politics everywhere, you're as bad as the SJWs you think you're mocking (you're missing, by a long shot, I sit right in the middle)
Thanks for the response, you said it more eloquently than I could.
I can't believe stupid people are actually thinking my post is political. I'm literally no longer what would be classed as a leftist and I'm regularly moderated on this very site by the extreme left here. I'd almost say I'm probably in some posters "omg ugh, he's an alt-right!!" list.
This isn't about politics, it's about common sense.
Off yourself now, it's for the best.
Read my post history, I no longer identify as a leftie. I'm a centrist.
The far right (climate deniers, most hard religious folk) are fucking idiots.
SJW's are censoring dipshits.
No, I'm just a realist, with a dose of common sense and the simple ability to understand mathematics, sustainability, very very basic economics.
If you don't see how fucked we are, you're in denial. This ain't about politics, it's about logic.
I'm not talking about the poor, I'm talking about those who were middle and upper middle or the chidlren of middle / upper middle, seeing "oh fuck, shit I'm going to be poorer than my parents"
Really? Who could have guessed.
The division between the rich and poor, is without a question, worse than it was in 1999.
Hope is fading out for the middle and lower class. The middle class becomes smaller, soon to be just "the poors and the rich"

It's the first kinda ok one in a while, but mostly because of the lack of Star wars garbage in it.
That world and series is long dead to me, tfa was ok, rogue one, not good and tlj an insult to the originals.
Solo is a refreshing side jaunt, a bit of dumb fun.

Check my post history, dipshit. Not American, just sick of the internet being politicised by morons.
Every time a liberal *genuinely* attempts to compare the republican party (or infact, anyone, including other liberals they don't agree with) as a nazi, they lose favour.

Very surprising.
