watch out for your battery.

i don’t do proxmox; but i do a lot of virtualization through kvm/qemu on my own laptop and the battery can take a beating if you don’t mitigate it somehow. i’ve had this laptop less than 6 months and the battery condition is already at 67%.

i’m lucky in that i got this laptop from a linux company so i can can order replacement batteries; but most people don’t (willingly) have this luxury anymore.

i needed to see that; thanks for sharing.

i wonder why they didn’t test an iphone

i’ve been using prepaid sims for over a decade and a half now and it works okay for me since i only use a voip number that forwards to my phones.

every major carrier i’ve used in the united states have required some sort of identifying information like a state issued id or credit card; maybe the smaller/re-sale carriers will let you use cash.

Vergas son mejores; te lo doy si te comportas. Lol

i use to work IT at a place that used those cisco AP’s and i always considered getting one for myself to drown out the other AP’s in my apartment building because my wifi was always spotty no matter what channel i picked and whatever survey i took; the price tag at the time (around $1k+ at the time) was the only thing preventing me from doing so.

and a reality in the united states

it’s also bullshit when you consider that the only thing i could steal is source code and; since everything we worked on was open source; i would have absolutely nothing to gain from it. lol

nope

Other industries, I’m sure, are looking for different things based on what they’re hiring for. Where I work, there is a different set of checks we run on folks that work in our finance department, but I don’t oversee that area.

they look at credit scores now to get jobs and that floored me when i worked for a fintech job at a bank holdings company; they were going to reject me because my credit report showed a an overdue credit card account from when i was 8 years old.

it was obviously wrong because no one gives credit cards to 8 year olds; but it was there in all 3 credit reporting agency’s reports; they had to get their legal team involved to tell their hr team to let me, a software developer, work at a bank doing software development because of a bad credit score.

maybe because i mentioned it?

a few years ago i created a homemade security camera system using motion on my linux desktop and all of my unused smartphones as cameras with ip camera software along with the gnome google drive desktop plugin to upload pics/vids of events and notify me via email & priority phone notifications if something happened.

it was easy to setup, but it took forever to tweak the cameras’ angles, mask and especially the lighting with infra red light bulbs so that they could get decent light in the videos and pics during night time and without having to keep all the regular lights on all the time.

i’m glad that i didn’t spend any money of it because i only ended up with hundreds of hours videos and gigabytes of pics of me and my pets. lol

apple products are coveted both in and out of imperial core; whether or not they can afford them.

my point is that the most well educated and leftist leaning generations we’ve ever had (i’m assuming) continues to place a premium on products like these and that makes the eventuality of breaking out of this imperialist cycle seem unrealistic.

I wonder if younger millennials’ and Gen z’s overwhelming preference for iPhones over Androids is indicative anything in the future

this was true 20 years ago so your mileage is absolutely going to vary today; but it worked for me:

• if you haven’t graduated: intern
• if you have graduated: contract

I loved the building, but I find the other half of the gameplay quite boring.

i would spend hours using cheats to create the perfect house for the sims family and then lose interest within 30 minutes of letting the family do its thing.

i would rinse and repeat with each house becoming more elaborate and strange each time; they should make a game that focuses on that aspect of it more
