I'm in charge of the physical computer hardware at a government agency and whoo boy it's bad. I just replaced a laptop so old it didn't even have onboard wifi, end user handed an air card in with it

SKULL.GIF posted:I think it's because they think other banks are on the brink of blowing up too and they're worried the banks will just let it happen because the government will bail them out. So they make an example of FRB and make it clear that other banks will not be rescued, so get their finances in order pronto. I worked for a lovely regional bank and I can't wait for their number to be up

Rip Testes posted:Local grocery where every item seems to be a minimum of $7 on average scales back the store hours. There was an announcement playing that attributed the change in hours, limiting of self checkout items and the closing one of the entrances on crime and that these changes are for the benefit of shoppers safety. At multiple stores now I've had no choice but to self checkout. I just bought a single bag of groceries and some cat food that came out to $150. How does anyone afford to eat holy poo poo.

Stereotype posted:multigenerational housing has been a thing forever and is a great way to maintain community and personal resiliency and the only reason it’s such an oft derided thing nowadays is because most boomers are insufferable judgmental know-it-alls who hate their children and have lead poisoning. I moved back home to my Boomer parents house and oof I remember why I left in the first place; it's tolerable but my mother tries to micromanage me like she's my manager. Worth it to not have to pay 50% of my income on rent and bills though.

Business Gorillas posted:I was gonna do a trip to the PNW and the endless HOMELESSCRIMEWAVE stories are scaring my girlfriend. Are SF/Portland/Seattle worth going to or should we just hike in the parks instead? I work downtown and haven't had many problems, the problem with Seattle is that there's not many interesting things to do as a tourist. Idk why people come here on vacation to be honest.

Xaris posted:yeah it's gotten quite bad. I've been a reddit defender in the past as sort of a neo-Usenet (which had a lot of useful information like rock hunting sites, ghost towns, routes, along with shitposts and flamewars) over the past 15 years, but the past 4 years have been a stark collapse. shittification of the internet but even actual content is draining away. i'd say these are just echos of a subsiding superstructure and declining society writ large though, nothing particular about the site. I'm sure a huge reason why this is, is because a ton of content is locked away in private discords now. Anything public without a pay wall is a bot paradise.

Glumwheels posted:I don’t know how one would survive in Seattle on $60-80k. You’d need a roommate for sure or an 2nd income from a significant other. I'm in that income range in the Seattle area and I ended up moving back in with my family because trying to live on $60,000 as a single person with no roommate is no longer possible. I'm now supporting 4 adults (including myself) on my wage but at least my money is going to better my family and not a shady slumlord like I had been doing for the past 17 years. Seattle is just about as expensive as San Francisco now and it's bullshit because the jobs here don't pay anywhere near as much as they do there.

Eric Cantonese posted:I would like to know what Apple's long term plan for this is. To be fair to them, it looks like this is the best thought-out implementation and probably the least taxing from an ergonomic/eye-strain point of view, but I don't see a massive hankering in consumers for this. Maybe there's some super-long term market share masterplan going on... I think it was to patent all the cool VR/AR technology they can. I'm in a social group that is heavily into VR things and that was one of the complaints they made that thanks to Apple there won't be any good face tracking on any new headsets going forward for the next 20 years.

Eric Cantonese posted:They don't think Apple will continue to make improved headsets after this first go? Nobody in my friends group has the means to afford such a device, nor wants to. Unless the military decides to pick it up I don't even know who this device is intended for. It's a dead man walking imo.

I have this head canon that Discord was started by bronies on account they called it Discord and I seem to remember the service coming around at the same time the MLP show was super popular and there was a dragon character named Discord people were going apeshit about. No idea if it's true or not but I feel like it'd explain a lot.

Paradoxish posted:I'm pretty sure I'd have more luck blindly applying to jobs than I would trying to actually utilize my LinkedIn network in any kind of meaningful way. I got my current job off Indeed. The job required 3 professional references but I had contact info from my last job so I didn't use LinkedIn for that. But I was blindly applying for jobs and this was also past summer before the job market for IT people went sideways. My tech friends who have gotten laid off are having a bad time finding a new gig right now.

Paradoxish posted:Don't ban cars going into philly because then my business trip at the end of the month will literally cost me an extra $300. In the Seattle area we have a commuter heavy rail train called the Sounder but because the tracks it runs on is owned by BNSF, who charges a king's ransom for usage, it only runs for morning and evening commute times M-F, so I can't use it to get anywhere on the weekend or evenings.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:You're thinking at too high a scale. "Attendance" is a dog whistle for "took vacation or sick days." Also potentially for "was 7 rontoseconds late to clocking in." It's a versatile excuse. A family member who worked for Costco corporate got super sick within their 90 day probation period and got fired for being off work for 3 days to recover without even a meeting to allow them to defend themselves. Just recently I was looking for a new job and saw Costco corporate had some openings for my skill set but even the job posting mentioned attendance was important to them so I passed it up.

Ebola Roulette posted:That reminds me I went to a place where it was very obvious the noodles in the ramen were literally the .30 pack of maruchan or whatever. It was still stuck together and everything. Everything is so expensive now people must be pulling back on their purchases. I can tell because a bubble tea shop I've never given my email address to somehow got my email address to send a coupon deal to. It reminds me of early covid when a bunch of companies I had no idea had my contact info crawled out of the woodwork to tell me how much they care about me.

Engorged Pedipalps posted:it's a really bad time to be in any kind of competitive job right now, public sector work and no-growth family businesses are probably the place to be over the next couple of years even if those jobs aren't very good I'm working a public sector job that's badly understaffed and as a result the tools and resources I need to do my job are badly broken and I'm burning out so hard but to leave a public sector job with amazing health benefits and a pension would be an amazingly stupid thing to do so I'm powering through it best I can until I drop dead from a stress-induced heart attack

Xaris posted:they're actually very good and pay better than private except at the very tippy top end. we have baked in 4-8% annual raises every year Yeah actually my public job is paying me $7k a year more for my helpdesk position than my last employer. And that's on top of better benefits + pension. I just wish they'd hire another person for my team because we're all drowning.

Every quarter companies must double their profit from the quarter before it. Yeah sure you made $2 billion dollars last quarter but unless you make $4 billion this quarter you've failed as a business. So that, and also hardly anyone has a union anymore and the ones that do probably can't legally strike (railroaders, bus drivers, air traffic controllers, etc)

Thoguh posted:My understanding is that the Reddit mod complaint is that they need the third party apps for effective moderation because the native Reddit one sucks. So even if they install scab mods they are still gonna make everything suck if they kill the ability to easily moderate a website that requires constant and aggressive moderation to even just be a baseline level of lovely. Oops, all Nazis!

thechosenone posted:So am I right that cutting or not raising rates won't really help any more than rising them did? Yeah I mean I'd like people to have free money but it wasn't anyone making less than six figures getting much of that. The only thing that'll help is removing money from the system and to do that you need to tax the rich which will never happen
