- Comment on When the lunacy of the absurd job application finally puts you over the edge 2 weeks ago:
I don’t work in recruiting at all. I don’t read resumes.
Office vs labor in my industry is weighted towards labor making more money.
Non-union on government contracts requires prevailing wage pay at union agreed rates. A laborer (basic unskilled labor) can make $45/hour with fringe benefits at $25/hour. They make OT on top of that which the salaried office employees don’t.
Not every industry pays their workers garbage.
- Comment on When the lunacy of the absurd job application finally puts you over the edge 2 weeks ago:
Not defending the recruiters for not reading resumes, but I’ve seen the recruiting queue and it sucks.
Way more than half the applications are fake, from out of the country (for jobs that require you to work physically at the location), or just clearly entered for unemployment requirements. Across dozens of applications on each of the dozens of open positions each week.
State/federal requirements mean the jobs have to be posted to a bunch of equal opportunity job boards that never produce real candidates.
There’s a reason recruiters are feeding all their shit through AI. It became an AI slop fight for both sides of the job application process.

Unless one of your outlets is wired backwards, plugging this into 2 outlets on the same side of your electrical panel won’t do anything.
If you were able to plug it into outlets on different sides of your panel, then you just created a 240v short and the cable is going to be real-spicy real-quick.

The type of people who use a wallet/card case on their phone are also the type of people who frequently lose their phone.

He OD’d on GHB like a week ago and had to be rushed to the hospital. Homie might not make it to 21 if he keeps it up.

Those casinos still stink. Smoking in casinos in Vegas is still allowed.
Had to walk through the casino to get food at my hotel. My clothes absolutely reeked of stale cigarettes from the couple minutes it took.

Works opposite for me. Cross-eyed versions look correct, and the parallel/wall versions have inverted depth. Same thing with magic eye images, they’re always inverted, like I’m looking into a mold of what the object is supposed to be.

Connecting this to two plugs on the same circuit won’t short anything unless one of the outlets is wired incorrectly.
They’re used to backfeed power to your house from a generator during power outages. Technically not legal to use, but most people aren’t going to pay $1k for a proper transfer switch. They come with the caveat of ‘not to be operated by fuckwits’ since you can kill a linesman if you don’t flip your main breaker before using them.

EFT has like 100 different keybinds for every type of movement and action. Not uncommon to have ctrl, alt, and shift all set as different modifiers for 5-10 keys.

Yes. If you don’t have hardware that supports AV1 decode, it gets sent to the CPU instead.
For homelab stuff, the responsibility falls on the server to transcode the media to whichever format the client device requests. That usually means being able to have ~2 simultaneous AV1 streams and maxing out the CPU.
With hardware decode, you could have 10+ streams.

Super oversimplified, but take an imaginary 1GB video file and it will compress roughly to the size below with minimal visual degradation.
H.264 -> H.265 -> AV1
1GB -> 600MB -> 350MB
- Comment on Anon gives a piracy history lesson 1 year ago:
Once Intel ARC cards are supported natively in UnRaid, I’ll be transcoding everything to AV1.
Hardware encoding for AV1 is really all that has been missing for it to be widely used for homelab setups.
- Comment on So is the global IT crash fixed yet? 2 years ago:
This is actually the worst type of end-user.
Doesn’t make a ticket or notify anyone that there is a problem and then proceeds to try and fix it themselves incorrectly. When it does become a ticket, they won’t remember exactly what steps they took to troubleshoot and will waste 5x as much time from support staff trying to fix it than if they just didn’t touch it in the first place.
Guaranteed didn’t wipe the machine from the built in reset/recovery screen and instead used a windows installer that was created on a different computer and doesn’t have the correct network drivers in the image.
- Comment on The precision is impressive 2 years ago:
For sure has sensors. He grabbed the ping pong ball at the beginning and threw it pretty randomly onto the plate. Would be pretty unlikely that that was part of a pre-programmed sequence.
