The quality has taken a sharp decline in the last iteration

Seems like a good recipe for a long form post.

They extended a 10 year warranty on the iccu. Even though there is no fix that’s probably good enough

It’s true unused it wasted but unfortunately what it’s used for is decided by corporate flavor of the month so garbage one drive, teams and Gemini builds eat all the ram that would be better used by other applications people actually like

In this case it’s just SPS. It became a massive school district with expected bloat. As a result lots of money went to waste programs like edutainment apps and social justice programs. Kids with wealth parents opted out and that made funding problems worse because without stable kids to average out the pool the student body became more resource intensive which drove the typical urban failing school cycle.

I don’t need anything else

Only if towing

I have needed more than the light on at least two occasions, neither towing.

A modern vehicle overheating? Like did you need to limp it home or something

Absolutely limping, both cases. The gauge let me judge exactly how far I was pushing it in my limping, and gave me an idea of whether and how soon I needed to find a place to stop for a while.

Meta could reduce down to 30% like twitter and just sustain forever like twitter. None of the R&D ads value

Thus far, what has the bottom line value add been by their R&D ventures? Some of their open compute and a few other things have been nice. But, of the billions upon billions they’ve spent what have they had to show for it?

As noted in the past. Non hardware tech companies were and still are bloated.

Untrue. It adds a great amount of value to 'ole Zuck's ego.

The fact that it wasn’t immediately dismissed as a nuance complaint and covered under the first is already concerning

Most of these people don’t need to be in office. Very few people actually touch or need to be near the product

Worse is having to come into the office just to do team calls with the rest of the team, distributed around the globe.

But hey, butt in the chair means work, right?

I get this doesn't work for all professionals, it is abused by some, but lets not pretend being in the office is some productivity magic, while at the same time everything gets offshored.

Let's go to the open space office, so I can not only do my Teams meetings there, but also disturb (and get disturbed by) my other colleagues, who are also doing their Teams meetings there.

Sorry can you say that again? There's a lot of background noise

can you turn off your microphone, fellow colleague-in-the-same-room? I can hear myself through it!

Suicide hotlines don't require the operator to touch or be near the caller, but I still don't think it should be done by AI.
