Those people I usually need to take to the actual hardware, like a test station, where I can show them stuff, while explaining.
The telephone often didn’t make much difference to mails regarding comprehension…

Just do some more specific exercises and those products from our partners could luckily help in exact those situations!
Just buy an abo to get sweet rewards and a VIP-only training video, which tells you the secret, how our pro athletes get into shape quickly! - Comment on If you can find the oil filter, I'll give you a quarter.

Ah, ok, thank you very much
I somehow imagined the chain hanging sloppy down and around the filter, and somehow the lever above still brings some force down there
That mechanism now is very obvious.
Thanks! - Comment on If you can find the oil filter, I'll give you a quarter. If you can get it out after the lube tech tightened it to 325 lbft, I'll give you sixty bucks. 3 weeks ago:
Thanks!
Yeah, I still can’t really visualise how this is working
I get that you use the chain and the handle as a lever, but I just can’t wrap my mind around how this can work, without the chain just slipping around the stuff I want to unscrew.
How do I get the chain like stiff, when I get it in place?Really sorry if I’m kinda slow here …

Maybe you’re right and it’s parody
Sadly by now it’s really hard to differ… - Comment on I'll take a liberal. Just 86 the tofu. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, maybe I’m just taking it to serious
But after all the stupid shit the right wing said, I’ve lost all trust in their ability for basic sarcasm - Comment on I'll take a liberal. Just 86 the tofu. 4 weeks ago:
Their fixation on Obama after all those years is just embarrassing.
And why should anyone put a photo in a sandwich?
And why isn’t there one of Trump or Hitler in their own?
This just misses so much consistency, that I can’t find the actual joke in it anymore.
Butt maybe I’m just picky/pedantic… - Comment on I'll take a liberal. Just 86 the tofu. 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on What do you think of anarchism? 4 weeks ago:
No, as there are no leaders
In a democracy you give your vote and have no say afterwards.
In an anarchy people need to work out their social rules together.
There could also be Anarchist societies with a police force, that ensures the basic democratically created roles of that society are followed - like protecting people from just more muscle who want to rape or steal from them. - Comment on What do you think of anarchism? 4 weeks ago:
There is a difference between Anomie and anarchy
Just because there are no leaders/rulers, doesn’t mean there are no social rules or morale values.
A law doesn’t keep one from doing bad stuff.
Else we wouldn’t have murderers.But society must grow and develop. At the current state anarchy probably wouldn’t work…
- Comment on Is it possible to learn new things with no external stimuli at all? 4 weeks ago:
If I remember that correctly, the brain mostly interacts with itself and only a little part is new “outside” information
The work we experience is just a construct of our brain and it wouldn’t be stable, if it only relied on external stimuli.
As for example our eyes don’t really take in a full picture, but only small parts, and the brain uses existing models to adapt to the new inputs.So we’re mostly living in our heads anyway.
- Comment on Is it possible to learn new things with no external stimuli at all? 4 weeks ago:
Well, math is a thing.
You can deduce basic logic and build up on it to not complex structures.
There are quite some worlds to explored in that realm, that are only build up on basic logic - Comment on Dell is making everyone return to office, too 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s the worst of it
How much time I spent writing eloborated mails, never got an answer, only to here in a meeting, the someone immediately demands answers and estimations from me - which I sent out to all members of this fucking meeting 2 weeks ago
- Comment on Dell is making everyone return to office, too 4 weeks ago:
Sadly most of my meetings are now on fucking teams
I really detest this garbage
- Comment on Dell is making everyone return to office, too 4 weeks ago:
Yeah… Start of the year is always an exercise in patience, when everyone spends 20mins to just wish everyone a new year and how their holidays were.
For fucking Christ, I’ve better things to do then this bullshit pseudo socializing, that’s absolutely worth nothing.
Will happily drink a beer with some of my colleagues, but that shit is just wasting time professionally
- Comment on Dell is making everyone return to office, too 4 weeks ago:
Exactly!
I was accepted a proposed timeline based on promised resources, which I never got.
And when shit hit the fan, they just said, but it’s your timeline?!That was the point, where I promised myself, I’ll do nothing important anymore on the phone, because I’ll need written evidence.
And just a few months later, I was in that exact position, where I was blamed that something wasn’t ready, which was promised to the customer.
But as I had everything written in mails, what I’ve promised to accomplish, I could show, that everything there was actually finished and only the stuff managers promised, which I have objected to, was just horse shit.Can’t trust anyone.
They will act friendly on the phone, just to throw you under the bus, when the heat comes up. - Comment on Dell is making everyone return to office, too 4 weeks ago:
If people would be able to actually formulate their question, a text based conversation would be quite more productive.
But as they usually don’t even really know what they want to know and only have a vague idea, they need to talk, so they can get down to the point of their original problem.As a technician/sw dev this usually the problem, when managers call me.
They call, because they have a problem they don’t understand. If they would have a clue, I could give a short precise answer.
But because they lack the correct words or don’t even really know what the problem is, they want to talk, so they can hide their incompetence and guide the conversation to their actual problem.Maybe I’m just really pissed after all those years of senseless calls.
To be fair, I sometimes also use calls, when I need fast answers. But then it either really is a fast call or I have a discussion about a problem, where I’m not exactly sure how to proceed and need a second opinion.
And that’s the point. I’m not sure on those cases on how to proceed and need a discussion. Just like the people calling me.
But their questions are usually none to be discussed, but only not well formulated, because they don’t know their shit.I don’t have anything against colleagues calling me for help and I spent 30mins discussing possible approaches.
But being in the phone for something that would be much better handled per text, because my answer is maybe complex and then I need to send it out anyway, because my counterpart doesn’t understand it… This is just a waste of time, because of incompetence - Comment on Dell is making everyone return to office, too 4 weeks ago:
I find it much more offending, when I’m the only one in the meeting who talks, because nobody knows shit, and afterwards they aren’t even able to write the stuff I said in their stupid document. So they send me the document - on some share of course, because we’re all working together - so I could have just skipped the meeting and written/filled out their fucking document in the first place.
And when that shit is actually finished, they spent 15 minutes congratulating each other how important this was and how great everyone did.
While nobody of them actually did anything, because they couldn’t understand a word.I’m just so fucking sick of it…
- Comment on Dell is making everyone return to office, too 4 weeks ago:
nothing is faster than the speed of human interaction. A thirty second conversation can replace an email back-and-forth that goes on for hours or even days,
That shit is just not true
How much time I waste on the telephone or senseless meetings, which could be really answered by text, wouldn’t occupy a couple of people for an hour and I wouldn’t need to be ripped out of focus …Maybe it really depends on the kind of work we’re talking about. But managers sometimes don’t seem to understand that I need to get an idea/concept in my head down in code (or at least some notes) right now, because it could be lost forever and it will take hours to get back to the a viable solution.
But yeah, just quickly call me about some stupid contract thing, where a translation isn’t correct… - Comment on Lecturing row 0 of the Princeton Advanced Physics course 5 weeks ago:

I completely get all that, but looking at the typical user base that uses mainstream social media platforms, like TikTok, I don’t see them being knowledgeable about some china centered alternative app
I just don’t see, how so many would switch to that, as most of them wouldn’t have known about it a week ago.
Was it promoted on TikTok? - Comment on Biden’s TikTok Flip-Flop: President Rushes To Undo Ban He Championed As Backlash Grows 1 month ago:
Personally I still don’t believe that a completely unknown app was suddenly getting new members in the means of some grassroots protest.
Maybe it is more (or gotten) more known through TikTok and that’s why it was basically unknown for me.
Still, I think this is artificially hyped as a reaction to a potential TikTok ban and not some organic growth - even taking into account people switching in protestI think, I’ve heard about this app like once in the last years. And, not wanting to sound self centered, but as a software dev and quite interested in anything internet, I find this development rather strange.
Was “little red book” promoted on TikTok or how did so many people, who are usually just consumers of feeds, suddenly heard of that new app?
Especially, when I have a really hard time to have them install a new app, like Signal, in other cases.Ok, this wasn’t really a good answer to your comment, sorry. You’re right, that the TikTok feed just builds individual bubbles, so right wingers will get more right wing info and the other way round.
But the sudden switch to a practically unknown app just… seems fishy - Comment on Biden’s TikTok Flip-Flop: President Rushes To Undo Ban He Championed As Backlash Grows 1 month ago:
Isn’t it already a right wing propaganda machine?

After like 2 years with my Pulse 15 the battery started to pillow. They sent my a replacement for free. Now I’m having a Framework 16 and didn’t use my Pulse 15, so I gave it to my nephew. But I saw that the CMOS battery was dead. Wrote them a mail and they are now sending my a replacement battery for free.All in all, great company
