wtt604··on Dell Latitudes are Great Laptops (and they run Ubuntu well)
my 5520 hasn't got the ethernet port driver and no external monitors work either, on ubuntu 18.04
wtt604··on Covid Patients fighting for their lives are still refusing the vaccine
This was a horrific read and honestly, I fail to see what possible side effects could be worse than having to go through some of this. My heart bleeds for the poor staff dealing with this and to a lesser extent, the unvaccinated patients. What questions can they still have about the vaccine?

Be unvaccinated by all means, but look after yourself, stay away from people and wear a mask!

wtt604··on Ask HN: How to Disrupt Telecoms in Canada?
I would start with basic things, don't worry about offering lots of gigabytes or the what the streaming crowd want. I would go after the people who want basic services. I'd say the vast majority of people don't need 5G or even LTE speed. They just want something that keeps them in contact with other people.
wtt604··on Wikipedia: Nabob
Well, I was expecting some article about coffee, so that was a treat. Very interesting, thank you!
wtt604··on Now almost 80% of 16 to 24 year olds in England have Covid antibodies
what does this mean? since I'm not going to read a Daily Heil article, so, they're immune?? or they've just been irresponsible enough to catch covid by not following basic health instructions?
wtt604··on Louis Rossmann Will Not Comply with New York City Vaccine Mandate
Science also exists, but I don't consider myself an expert on the morality of it, so you do what you want.
wtt604··on Cognitive deficits in people who have recovered from Covid-19
If you have a Facebook account, which I don't, you should post this kind of article to it to counteract the garbage that usually gets put on it.
wtt604··on Apple AirTags Used to Prove That Contractor Illegally Trashed People's Property
It took the author of this article six attempts before she described these people as homeless, either she has a fantastic command of the English language, or is so incredibly woke that she never wants to offend anyone. I know this article was more about the invasiveness of technology, but this was my takeaway from it
wtt604··on Louis Rossmann Will Not Comply with New York City Vaccine Mandate
so is people dying before their time
wtt604··on The most intense heatwave of the year is underway across southeastern Europe

wtt604··on 1 in Every 169 U.S. Workers Is Now Employed by Amazon
Is the word "employed" being used in the classical sense here? Such as someone having time off and benefits, and the like?
wtt604··on Coding with Character
Monospaced takes people back to a simpler time, when you would get cheats or walkthroughs printouts. I love how clean the look is with each character having its own distinct spacing
wtt604··on I went to the office for the first time. I fucking hated it
I went to the office for the first time last week, and I loved it, but I think where I work has a better attitude towards people than where that guy works. Certainly my department does. I went back voluntarily, mainly to get out of the house, and TO wear real clothes again. Tshirt and shorts, but I feel more human than the pajama man I was for the past year. I hope that guy gets a new job!
wtt604··on Ask HN: Any History Podcast Recommendations?
another for the dollop, but also "Behind the bastards" and for a more traditional look at history "In our time" from the BBC is tremendous
wtt604··on [dead]
Will he also talk to the surviving family members of people who have died from Covid, or does he have an agenda?

wtt604··on Ask HN: Do you regret having children?
No, but the fewer pandemics we go through, the better. This past 15 months has been tough!
wtt604··on Update on Our Vision to Be Earth’s Best Employer and Earths Safest Place to Work
Let the workers unionize!
wtt604··on WhatsApp caves in: Won't limit features if you reject privacy changes
I did accept them, but I just sent them a request to have me reject them. I am sure they will respect my newest decision.
wtt604··on Ask HN: I (used to) love programming, but I loathe standups, scrum, agile, etc.
Is it possible for you to start a coding job where you are not coding a behemoth application, so that you are the main cog, and not a tiny part of the process? I don't know your background but is it possible to do more embedded type or mobile app development?

Best of luck, it seems that you are near your wits end.

wtt604··on Who’s the Best Tic-Tac-Toe AI?
I think Joshua summed it up best. "The only way to win is not to play."
wtt604··on The Polygons of Another World
Well, you're in for a treat then!
wtt604··on Students protest mandatory Covid vaccinations at colleges
The people protesting for religious reasons, who do they think gave the scientists the brains to be able to make the vaccine?
wtt604··on The Polygons of Another World
I've said this before when stuff from his site is posted, but it really is a fantastic website from top to bottom.
wtt604··on [dead]
You could also put it as your phone hotspot name and just wander around.
wtt604··on The most intense firestorms in the world
That was a scary read. Somehow I don't think that we've seen the end of them!
wtt604··on Digital ID for the Internet – Cyber Polygon Event 7/9/21 [video]
Is this seventh of september 2021, ninth of July 2021, twenty first of september 2007? All we can tell from this date format is that it's not the 21st month of 2007 or 2009
wtt604··on The school that rules Britain
It's not what you know, it's who you know
wtt604··on Top Notch RSS Reader
It was a great podcast player and was very handy for looking through employment RSS feeds.
wtt604··on Parler, a conservative Twitter clone – 1M downloads since Election Day
What's to stop the "tiktok kids" as I believe the new technical army is called, to go and get accounts on it and turn it into a new proud boys Facebook group?
