I never willing left.

A lot of the artists I follow (bandcamp) stopped offering CDs (yes, vinyl is often an option, but I'm not a hipster).

Side note, Sony introduced the CD player on 10/1/82, 44 years ago yesterday.

I'm waiting for Halfspace 3.

I'm shocked. Shocked!

This feels like an unnecessary observation, even it were true.

"Message from Amazon: The fulfilment issues associated with this order were not due to the seller"

It seems that Amazon thinks the seller is ok.

"I think it's an interesting discussion."

Except for comments you want hidden because you think they are "boring" or "low-calorie".

"There's no solution other than training"

Not true.. according to most around here, it will be AI and robots all the way.

"...former-would-be-dentists of the world"

so.. What do you call a doctor who failed out of med school? A software dev?

"but when it comes to UX and reliability, they are far, far ahead of anything I tried"

Sounds like you are talking about software also.

Also, the inability to have older software installed with newer software because of the installer type. e.g. Visio 2019 and Office 365 suite cannot coexist.

You should spend less time on 4chan.

and silently.

The whole album is great, as are the others in the catalog. Just wish I had CDs of them instead of the MP3s I purchased.

Think different :-D

Where's the foldable? :-D

Sure.

"Don't get me wrong: SF is a kitten compared to Chicago..."

You shouldn't watch so much Fox news, it's warping your view.

Nothing pedantic about that observation.

Now, for the last 20 years.

Well, NOW is doing well enough to have an arena in Hoffman Estates (former Sears Centre). So I guess there's plenty of money to go around.

If it's known, are you suggesting that Apple and Google are complacent in allowing these type of apps in their ecosystem?

yeah, but not extra hours, just putting in the mandatory required. Friends, neighbors that work from home do the same. Heck, our AP clerk that works remote is processing transactions at 2a and is unreachable during normal business hours.

Oh, I'm sure! And the highest concentration of weekday Costco shoppers.

Why would something like this get flagged ffs? Not enough AI or crypto?

that's not irony.

You're comparing small business to a corporation? Right.

A true story?

I'm just glad I don't live in New York.

cybersecurity has taken over my life as a IT Manager. Security was always important, and always something I worked on, but now it's all I work on and it's exhausting.

Managing patch management)software and firmware. Users who cannot help but enter credentials via phishing regardless of training.

Chasing the next best practice (SSL VPN out, IPsec is back, etc).

yeah, and look how great France, Germany and the UK are doing!
