That’s every company, most upper management don’t stay in one position for more than 2 years. So the system is setup for short term gains because investors aren’t interested in long term investments and the blowback is the next guys problem. Who then is looking for the next big win to cover up the last guy issues without fixing anything. Then they bring in someone to clean up the mess and the cycle starts again.

Plus most consumers have short memories or don’t have an alternative so their stuck. There are small groups holding on but for 75% of the world’s population right now it’s Android or iOS, AMD or Intel, AMD or NVIDIA, Samsung or WD or Seagate or SanDisk, Att or Verizon, Apple or Microsoft, and so on.

This makes me sad. About 15 years ago we could go out as a family of 4 to a nice-ish restaurant for just entrees for just under $50 before tip.

The only way I see this sort of working is getting people together similar to Abandonware and either making emulators or someone figuring out how to fake the server authentication on a local PC for a console to ping. It would probably send the console manufacturers into a frenzy, especially Nintendo.

I can see the hardware part being easy enough, a miniPC for $200-$300 or an older junker PC running Linux from storage and a CAT6 from the console to the miniPC. The hard part would be figuring out what every single game needed to authenticate itself.

But where it really falls apart are systems that only partially run on the local console or require lots of online players to even function. So anything after Gen 7 or 8 probably wouldn’t work or would be very limited.

I’m hoping that by installing all of my game discs and updating everything before putting it away that it will remain somewhat functional if I pull it out of storage. I will give is a little more time then try it, so fingers crossed.

Why put a weight? DDR2 weight vs DDR5 weight difference wouldn’t be noticeable until they put the weight in because now it would weight 3x what it should. I suspect the person claiming fraud is the one committing fraud or this is a fake article.

Remaking a movie or retelling a story or changing a political event or casting an unbelievable caste just because it fits today’s politically correct views.

This thing happened so stop pretending it didn’t or your historical piece is now fantasy or now it’s completely unbelievable.

Stop remaking movies and changing the tone or message. Here’s a novel idea for you film makers, you can make a new movie with a similar plot but with a different name, now we won’t be going in with raised expectations.

But it shouldn’t be ham fisted like DISCO, it should be smart, changing minds is done in inches not miles. Yay for emotionally immature and insecure senior staff!

Some of the best Star Trek is when you didn’t know that it was making a political statement and it was thoughtful and thought provoking.

Take the time to do it right the first time but also don’t waste time if it doesn’t add value.

Having a process is great but if the process exceeds the value then the process not only harms profit margins but also erodes morale. If the reason a process exists is to counter bad behavior then it’s an employee problem not a process problem.

Open office floorplans are a terrible idea!

Work from home shouldn’t be considered a given based on the job tasks but a privilege and benefit extended to those employees that have shown the discipline and reliability to work from home. But the in office requirement shouldn’t be forced on everyone just to satisfy a “butts in seat policy” or a managers insecurity.

Low voltage electrical engineer!

The issue that I take with AI is that it’s having a similar effect on ignorance that the Internet created but worse. It’s information without understanding. Imagine a highschool drop out that is a self proclaimed genius and a Google wizard, that is AI, at least at the moment.

Since people imagine AI as the super intelligence from movies they believe that it’s some kind of supreme being. It’s really not. It’s good at a few things and you should still take it’s answers with skepticism and proof read it before copy/paste it’s results into something.

Haven’t seen this meme in a while. Next we will see the Kinder Surprise meme.

Also a if a 16oz cup is filled to the top with ice then it’s about 8oz of liquid before the ice melts. So this meme is for spreading ignorance for a laugh or a marketing scheme to convince Americans to by smaller cups without lowering the price.

What if Jesus was never crucified and instead cursed Judas into being the Grinch’s ancestor and the Who’s are Jesus’ descendants and that’s why the Grinch hates Christmas so much. The movie is just about the descendants of both bloodlines learning to forgive each other.

I have the problem of it giving me very vague answers. For example: I recently made the switch back to a Samsung from using Sony phones for years because they don’t want Americans using their phone, I am a little salty. Now I can’t find simple settings and customizations because they are turned off or hidden by default on Samsung. So I go to the Google and it’s basically telling me to find it in settings, an hour or so later that’s when I find out it’s turned off and I have to turn on the feature because AI sent me on a wild goose chase, only to find the answer on a darn AI generated YouTube video.

That was so frustrating and I think AI was just messing with me.

To be fair, he’s probably near even touched a coin before
