I break shit for a living.

Certified Pissed and ready to throw hands with this goddamn regime.

You'll get mostly pictures of my lovely Bean (cat), occasional politics posting, and some general yapping about tech.

    I became a software engineer because writing code is fun. Thinking through hard problems, designing elegant solutions, seeing the things you’ve built working for the first time… these moments are all deeply satisfying, so why in the world would I ever surrender them to AI?

    I wish a very merry Get Colon Cancer to every Microsoft and Intel product manager so we can all have the warning of how full of shit these guys are by making them wear it on their sleeve.
    Or rather, their bellies.

    Because holy fucking Christ, all I am trying to do is install up to date drivers and firmware on this GPU and I am 3 hours and 1 reinstall of Windows into this process.

    I fucking hate computers so fucking much there is no reason for it to be like this other than naked hostility towards the end user. This industry is a cognition hazard because of how devoid of care this entire industry is about making actual consumer products and tools.

    With Costco looking to sue to be refunded the costs on the tariffs, wouldn’t it be on the nose that after all this shit we get what amounts to yet another corporate handout?

    Where companies get the tariffs back, on top of the higher cost to consumers, which ends up being a big windfall at the expense of squeezing the consumer even more? Like the companies just get to pocket both the higher cost AND the tariffs.

    Do you think prices would go down after or you think it will be like the “post” COVID pricing and just stay up?

    I am looking at the Steam machine product page and I am struck by the choices made in the little videos of happy Cube users: Enby couple. Brown dude. Black lady. No trace of the angry white Gamer Dude who shows up in the Steam forums of every other game I buy to deride it for being "too woke".
