Everybody should be using MikroTik routers. Throw all Ubiquity hardware in the trash.

i have ubiquity setup at home and it's neat. i don't doubt that mikrotik is good, but what we have at worked is horrendously mismanaged and ux seems to be not poweruser-friendly enough to me, from screenshots our sysops occasionaly paste @ me in passive aggressive manner. most importantly, however, i'm latvian so i gave oath back in the cradle to never spend a cent on anything latvian.

keep in mind that white collar workplaces in latvia have fairer-than-expected men-women ratio, since true to stereotypes men often work up to bmw at like 19 years old and then just kill themselves in dui or otherwise, whereas women actually get higher education.

that sounds pretty good

yeah I�m very happy that there is at least one thing we don�t gently caress up in terms of gender equality, since otherwise our laws on the matter are a total poo poo show. just giving context that the toilet situation is not 1 stall per woman and 1 stall per 10 men

ios devices are a loving nightmare if you want no disturbances from wifi / bluetooth / system / apps / air drop / starbucks / weather / this poo poo / that bullshit

i have an 8 ipad setup for music performance and it took me 2 hours of hell to turn everything off. and then yes loving bluetooth turns itself back on

airplane mode has become known as �turn all radio features off� and if it�s not doing that it�s more like car mode or train mode

heres a legit use case for an apple over other stuff imo ^^^

ios is still better than android for music stuff to the best of my knowledge

you're only other option is to bring a macbook or some other laptop up there, and its a chore to tune latency in windows or linux (though the results are good)

or did they change it so you cah get a low latency kernel on android without janitorial pursuits

e: but setting up audio stuff on a mac isnt a picnic either (outside of basic setups)

lol gonna real post because I worked for apple back in 2017, via Insight Global. These apex dudes had it made compared to us. I got paperwork and poo poo that proves I'm for real (a moron for agreeing to work for silicon valley) that I'll share with a responsible adult or failing that some mod.

Not only did you never get to go to the apple campus, you probably would have been fired if you go anywhere near it. You were not an apple employee, straight up and down. I'm not supposed to list ANYTHING about apple on my resume. No id badges were issued.

Can confirm first thing you are told at orientation (in another "black site" at 3420 Gateway Blvd, Fremont, CA 94538. The building was under construction when we used it, so no bathrooms for us plebs!) is that "feel absolutely free to quit whenever and we will fly you home same day no hard feeling because we will fire you if you cause one single bad tweet". Apparently they have teams of interns looking for negative tweets about the project.

Sometimes they made fired employees take the bus home...across the entire country. If they didn't like you.

Authentic college experience of sharing a double hotel room with whoever a recruiter 2,000 miles away thought was cool. Of course, accommodations were made for LGBT, people with medical conditions, and other reasonabl.....ahahahaha no go gently caress yourself. They made a women with a broken leg stay on the second story of a motel with no elevator. I had a roommate that would wake-up screaming in the middle of the night because of sleep apney.

Let fox news know that we were a part of the truly poor, because they would specifically ask for rooms without fridges and microwaves. The rationale was that we got a per diem (25 bucks a day, which as a food budget in a normal situation isn't bad. But you can't exactly buy bags of rice and beans and keep light enough to travel with a few hours notice. And one trip to whatever chain restaurant in walking distant could wipe you out) and because it would "set expectations".

They hired anyone. I mean people without driver's licenses. We had a background checks done by some company that looks like it mostly handles non-union actors. I never met so many creepy combat vets and random 20 somethings from Atlanta.

Hotels and motels so nice that as soon as I could I sneaked back into my home state and bought a handgun and kept it under my pillow the rest of my time there. I was not the only person with a gun on the project.

Pay was 15 dollars an hour and whatever your homestate laws said about overtime. They, of course, pulled most of the employees from states with poor protections.

They should have spent some of that money they saved on better lawyers, because it turns out that if you work in California, you get California protections and overtime. They fought paying us until literally a day before a massive penalty would have kicked in. I'm still getting checks. A google search would have told Insight Global that Oracle just got in trouble for that same exact scheme a few months earlier.

How your time on the project came down to your D.C. I had one that would try to triple people up in rooms, mandatory team dinners, morning exercise. Also dock pay for bathroom breaks, which I believe is SUPER ILLEGAL. I mostly had bosses that didn't give a poo poo as long as you didn't make trouble. I spent almost all of my time in California, so crooked dispensaries jumping the gun on sales to out of state people kept me level. By the end I was just openly smoking an hash oil pen while driving because I didn't file useless complaints to powerless recruiters so I was golden.

Your D.C. (drive coordinator, your local manager. They got 70,000 salary and their own rooms...at first. The good ones put in 70-80 hour weeks. They got a very slight pay raise, but had to double up like the rest of us. They were insight global too, but on a different contract. Everyone was promoted up from the same pool of peons.) was in charge, but if you had a problem, you had to go to the recruiter. They had no power expect to get you in trouble for calling them too much. Problems ranging from hotels with bed bugs to incidents of sexual assault were just ignored.

A guy faked a death in the family, got sent home indefinably and, by just asking people who knew on the project, kept reporting hours that looked about right into ADP. He got paid for months that way. Too bad they caught him.

Speaking of the DCs, one of them was a completely out of control vet by the name of Shawn. Shawn got promoted because our regional was also a combat vet (kept a loaded ar-15 in his rental car as he inspected storage units for suitability). This was despite numerous complaints from his roommates, constant lying, and having three incidents while driving. He went on to rape one of his employees.

...Only got fired because she threaten to go to cops
...and only after chewing out the head of H.R. after she (!) offered him another position (!!!!) in the company.
I suggest now, now is the time to bring up how out of control #metoo is.

also someone I knew died because they never bothered to get rid of a guy so dangerous that was bounced around teams like a mentally unstable potato.

I feel like bloomberg kinda missed the real story.
