Yeah thats tough. I hate when they do that. The beauty is, it doesnt matter. Usually I just drop a mid number and agile seems to give the flexibility to change that as you identify the true scope of work. Do what you can in the sprint, but eventually update the points to match or break it up and adjust points best you can at that point. Given I haven’t been doing agile long, so I could be missunderstanding how it should work.

Need to get that early childhood trama on lock with that atrax scene.

Drop dead Fred! I loved that movie, probably one of my favorites growing up, not sure my parents were fansof that.

Marketing: the end product just isn’t right. We need to make it more fun. You know like a game.

dev: What are you talking about.

Marketing: There’s this new thing called gamification. Let’s do that.

Dev: First off thats not new, its been around for ages. Whatever, what are you even talking about?

Marketing: Yeah you know, make it fun! Give people awards for accomplishing certain tasks or reaching milestones. Lots of flashy lights and celebratory music. We do it in presentations and training all the time.

Dev: That’s what xp, leveling, magic items, special skills, etc are. Your asking me to gamify a fucking video game?!?!

Marketing: Yeah exactly! Its gonna be awesome!

To be clear I don’t think achievement s are bad. I don’t personally care about them. This is just how I imagine the conversation went when they were thought of.

Tacos of a tortilla…

Even then localy produced products may go up in price to just under the imported price to maximize profits even though there is no additional overhead.

I had a similar issue with a SAS drive In the backplane of a dell server. I thought for sure the drive was failing. Reseated it, cleaned the ports, ran some tests, just kept failing without any obvious signs why it was. Replaced it with a spare and same issue. That seemed very unlikely, so I put the old drive in another slot and its still running just fine going on 2 years without an issue. If you have another toaster give it a try.

The market is rife with cheapo junk tech. Ive seen several crapo off brand drive toasters fail, so thats possible. I don’t know the brand of yours so I can’t speak to them.

It could also just be the power supply for the toaster is crapping out, or doesn’t provide enough amperage. Those power supplies dont always keep providing the same amount of power forever, sometimes it drops over time, and that could be the cause too. Or they could be poorly made, meaning they probably drop in even short time periods.

If you have another power supply with the same voltage and higher amperage, you could try that. You could also try running only one drive in there and see if it keeps failing, if no issues, you could try the other drive and see if that one has issues. If that one doesn’t have issues either it could indicate power issues.

I think soc 2 type ii is nice, but I also don’t think it really says much about privacy in the context of me trusting what a business will do with my personal data. its been 4 or so years since if done an soc audit, so please correct me if I’m wrong. From what I recall its primarily geared toward security in general and when they say privacy, they mean securing your data from use unauthorized by the business.

The distinction im making here is that, from what I recall, soc 2 type ii says nothing about what can be done with your data (e.g. selling data to brokers, training ai, targeting ads, unclear/communicated eula changes, etc.). During these, and most other, security audits you can make business arguments as to why you should be exempt from various security mechanism or configs. These systems also don’t protect from techno fascist douchebaggery like feeding the government information on individuals without warrant or just cause, to assist in targeting minorities or activists for example.

To be clear, I use proton, I think its great, and MOSTLY trust them with my data. I do also like that they got soc 2 type ii, i wasnt aware till now so thanks for the heads up. I’m not accusing or trying to infer any wrong doing either. Mostly trying to point out this doesn’t resolve potential abuses some folks may have concerns about after ceo/board member/whateverthefuckingtitleis drama.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk…

Login to your credit card portal and check if they have it. I noticed mine has it as a free service now.

Edit: free service with my my cc account not straight up free to everyone with no cc.

If your in the US you can tell them you’ll report them to the FTC and fcc as unsolicited spam text messages that have no means to opt out. They must provide a means to stop receiving text messages per can spam act. If they refuse you report them and then they face 50k in fines per message. You also get to have federal record at least that you didn’t want the text messages. You could also file a police report. The cops may roll their eyes, but just tell them you just want something on record that the former number owner waa a shady character and want to avoid any potential legal issues in the future for having their number and getting weird calls or texts.

Yeah same experience for me. I assumed it was an issue with the routing table, but manually updating it didn’t seem to help. I assumed I was just not good enough at networking on android. I’d believe google would try to crap on that too though.

Is that android auto or wireless android auto?

I prefer distros if available, but in some cases the version in the distros can suck. A solid example, and this could 100% be user error, but I used aur to get Picard on my tablet, but there was no app menu bar. Like at all, no window settings in the world made a difference, and the global menu didn’t show anything either. So I couldn’t change settings at all. I removed the aur package and installed the flatpak, everything worked no problem.

Flatpaks are okay, but due to laziness, I’m not proficient with making them interact well with each other.

App images can be great, but also annoying depending on how your system handles them. On a Debian based machine it would “install” the app image as if it were a normal app, and in some cases even check for updates. In garuda I have to manually go to the file and execute it each time. I’m no Linux master, so I could probably do something in garuda to make it work similar to Debian, but I only have one app there that I care about and I’m lazy…

I don’t like snaps, they seem finicky to me.

If the Dev has their own recommended source, package, or whatever I try to stick to that. I.e. if they say their focus is on an app image, but aur has it, and there’s a flatpak, and x y z options, I’ll try the app image, and if that does what I need it to, I stick with it. If they recommend snap I try to find another app or another option to install.

Apparently proton pass has a custom domain function I was unaware of until now. Looks like you have to go into settings > aliases. There is an ‘add custom domain’ button, assuming you need the domain added to your proton account with a catchall address maybe?

100% this! Proton pass is convenient, but their email forwarding locks you into their ecosystem, and they limit your aliasing for your own custom domain. I started using it, and its nice, but I wish I knew about annonaddy before. I’d prefer making aliases using a custom domain so if i have to respond with a forwarded alias I can manage a way to reply from it, plus if I ever decide to leave proton, its not a road block. Sure you can usually change email addresses on sites, but may end up being a ton of work depending how many aliases you have, and how annoying the site makes it.

Try USB 2 ports using a USB 2 drive, and try different ports. Ive seen issues where I had a perfectly good drive and it wouldnt boot at all. Using a different port it installed fine. Similar issues using USB 3 drive or ports in machines only a few years old.

Idk what application process you’ve done or your definition of pii. all applications seem to request pii like email, address, name, bday, etc in my experience. Individually they may not be pii, but any combo and theyre definitely pii.

Amcrest ptz. The app blows, but it does the job. Bonus ptz if kitty is on the move. Otherwise stationary cameras work too obviously cheaper.

Yup look at me wagglin my finger over here.

If I decide to put up with this type of attitude any further I’ll go get a job in fast food. At least then I’d get paid.

Have fun with your gatekeeping.
