Right! Thank you.
Yeah, those games were something special.

Man I played a lot on that map. Just a ridiculous amount of hours. Did it have a name? Opposing Worlds?
- Comment on Microsoft made me sign in on their Xbox Accessories app to update the firmware on my controller 3 weeks ago:
I can’t speak to Bluetooth as I don’t know much about it from a software development perspective, but when I first started working with USB I was surprised to find that the hardware is really simple but there’s a ton of software that makes it work. Specifications evolve over time to add features or improve efficiency. This neccesitates code changes, and those code changes have to be made at both ends of the connection if you want the devices to continue to be able to talk to each other. Aside from maintaining the interface code, there are probably also changes and improvements to the device itself. Thus, firmware updates. Make sense?

I’ll take a look. Thanks for the suggestion!

Good advice on balance, but we’re a small company. In addition to being SSE I’m also what passes for IT. 😆

I’ll check them out! Thanks for the tip.

Someone emailed my boss a while back pretending to be me. Asked that my direct deposit be changed. Boss told me he nearly sent it to the accountant but decided he should double check with me first. People are assholes.

- Comment on UPS has started charging for pickups even if you have a prepaid label 3 months ago:
What’s a long time? I literally scheduled a pickup last year for a pre-paid label and it was free. Anyway, another commenter seemed to say that it’s the shipper’s choice whether they cover the home pickup or not.
- Comment on UPS has started charging for pickups even if you have a prepaid label 3 months ago:
Sure and I’ll probably do that on Monday. Just another pain in the butt.
- Comment on UPS has started charging for pickups even if you have a prepaid label 3 months ago:
Ah so I should be blaming the shipper, not UPS. Those chincy bastards.
- Comment on UPS has started charging for pickups even if you have a prepaid label 3 months ago:
I’m shipping using a pre-paid label. Pre-PAID. And they used to let you schedule pickups for free, as I said. It’s not like they come straight to your house. They can come by any time during business hours on the day you schedule.
But I don’t think you care about any of that. Whatever is wrong that makes you this way, I hope your life improves.
- Comment on UPS has started charging for pickups even if you have a prepaid label 3 months ago:
Fair but we don’t get regular deliveries via UPS. Most everything we get comes USPS or occasionally FedEx.
- Comment on UPS has started charging for pickups even if you have a prepaid label 3 months ago:
They didn’t used to. 🤷♂️

Just had my yearly car maintenance at the local VW shop. They’ve started passing on the credit card processing fees to the customer. It’s only like 3 or 4%, but it made me use a debit card instead of a CC. Guess that’s where we’re at now.

- Comment on Microsoft extolling the benefits of cloud storage in their Office save dialog 6 months ago:
I hear you, though I think this is less about education and more about getting folks to fork over $9.99 a month. Like so many others, I’ve a long frustrating relationship with Microsoft. They’re literally the largest company in world atm and they just keep laying off people. I don’t hate them quite as much as EA or Comcast, but it’s getting pretty close.

Holy cow. Thank you! Didn’t know that was there. ❤️

I can remember around 1999-2000 if you clicked the wrong thing in IE you’d get 50 popup windows with ads for porn. At least that’s behind us.
