It's better in the winter because snow is white, so it reflects the signal around better.

The worst thing today was 90 minutes on an all in one printer and copier.

I had to disassemble the thing to the point where I started forgetting how to put it back together. I started taking pics after I took each piece off so I had a reference.

We actually do have Century Link as a backup, but when we moved into the new building we found out CL basically cut the lines into our building from the street and want us to pay some extravagant amount to have them rerun the lines.

Whenever I'm in a large (like 20+ people) Zoom conference for work, there's inevitably about a half-dozen people who have taped something over their laptop's camera instead of just disabling video in the conference. Naturally they're also working from home and consuming bandwidth to upload video of the backside of a piece of tape. And whenever that person speaks on the call, the main window switches to a square showing their piece of tape.

This is not a difficult thing to deal with. Zoom puts a control to turn video on or off in like four different places. And these people attending the calls are performing technical duties at a large software company.

I honestly think if you can't figure out how to click the button that turns video off, that's basically proof you're not qualified for your technical job at a software company. Like you're clearly aware there's video, or you wouldn't be putting tape over the camera.

tape is foolproof and set-it-and-forget-it

I knew of a guy at my last job who decided to be funny when he took a day off. His auto-reply was "I'm out office on Friday, please speak to x if you have an urgent need, otherwise go gently caress yourself."

He merely got a write up. Prevented him from being promoted for awhile!

Yeah. On the other hand, these are work machines with internal-only data on them: if the machine is compromised, then we've got bigger problems. So the main concern is probably my employer spying on them via webcam, which, again, if you think your employer is doing that to you, maybe quit that job?

I once got sent an email when I wasn't the intended recipient. It was a woman saying "hey love, look what I did? <some random screenshot of some internal system>, hope you like it, love, me." I decided to reply back "was I intended to receive this?" And she freaked out and said I wasn't. I looked her up later, and she was married to some dude outside of the company, so I'm pretty sure she admitted some sort of affair to me.

I hate that this country was founded by batshit insane Puritans whose whole life philosophy was "Work until your dead, don't complain, life is supposed to be miserable" and that infected America from the start with this idea of retiring being bad and working until you on your deathbed was admirable.

Also I feel like the mythologizing of our country's history/founding where we became a country because of taxes and this myth being hammered in our skulls until high school is why conservatism and libertarianism are such blights to our country.

I actually read the article, and they're basically trying to show what the benefit is for millionaires because that's what the tax plan is for.

Edit: they're still trying to make this sound great for middle class houses and not so much for millionaires, so gently caress em regardless.

Reminds me of the time a school got caught spying on high school students in their bedrooms.

I can't believe no one went to jail over that, there's a non zero chance they had photos of 15 year olds loving and masturbating on the school's servers.

That cannot be the final name as it violated senate rules. Not sure what the final version is called.

Likewise the bill doesn't qualify for 2017 reconciliation so Trump cannot sign it until 2018. Note that cuts will still go into effect next year.
