Ring of Pain

I bet the reason we don’t have it yet starts with N and ends with Vidia

They invented whiskey, then invented modern chemistry to make better whiskey

It makes more sense when we assume it’s software development terminology instead. Alpha means the software is immature and full of issues.

I am a release candidate male.

The reward for hard work is more work

The latest update broke ipv4 on my ThinkPad, ipv6 works just fine. How is that even possible?

This is basically what happened with the Uzumaki anime

Unfortunately, Fairphone is not available in my country. I’d buy it in a heartbeat if it was :(

I feel the same. I think they got to a point where there’s nothing else left to improve, no interesting features to add.

The only feature I am really looking forward to is the return of removable batteries.

Ack! My voxels!

They already do! It’s called carbon credits

Careful! Last time I sarcastically posted a stupid AI idea, within minutes a bunch of venture capitalists tracked me down, broke down my door and threw money at me non stop for hours.

I heard they are always trembling because they are too small to retain their body heat. And they are aggressive because everyone else is too big and scary.

These poor dogs literally spend most of their lives cold and terrified.

I had a professor who kept all the materials from the books that he wrote on his website. He was cool with students printing the html pages and bringing it to class.

There are some modders experimenting with eGPUs on the Deck, but it’s really impractical. The Deck USB-C connector isn’t powerful enough to handle an external GPU and the OS doesn’t support it.

Valve would need to release new hardware for it to be feasible.

From my experience working for a management consulting firm. It’s more like everyone knows what the problems are and how to fix them, but they are too scared of screwing up to do something about it.

So they hire a consultancy company to tell them what they already knew and take the blame if something goes wrong.

“No one ever gets fired for hiring McKinsey”

I was in a similar situation. A few weeks after I got hired, the project I was hired for was cancelled, so they “benched” me.

I spent three months being paid to do whatever I wanted, didn’t even need to go to the office. It was nice at first, but I felt useless and miserable after a couple of months.

This made me understand why some people keep working long after they have enough to retire.

Recover from any injury by eating whole cheese wheels

That actually happened with a former coworker of mine, the clumsiest person I’ve ever met. (Me being the second one)

One of the bathrooms at the hotel we were staying at had a mirror covering the entire wall. Of course the clumsy guy tried to walk into the mirror, bashing his face. It was hilarious!

Face eating leopards are eating good tonight!
