Without going into much detail, my workplace sells a product that’s makes use of an industrial computer that has two regular off the shelf hard drives in it. For some reason both hard drives are similar, but were sourced from different manufacturers. We got a notification from the provider that manufacturer B would cease production of the hard drive and proposed us to use two drives from manufacturer A instead.

I had the genius idea of giving my two cents and suggesting we accept as it will work, they are just standard hard drives after all.

Now I became the hard drive expert at work, got dragged into endless meetings and being asked the dumbest of questions regarding this change. It’s been a year and the change hasn’t been approved by higher ups yet.

I absolute despise when people dismiss some videogames as a boomer thing. Boomers did not play videogames (in general), as a matter of fact, most of them hated them.

Wasn’t there a guy at Google that claimed that they had a conscious AGI, and his proof was him asking the chatbot if it was conscious, and the answer was “yes”.

I find it so odd that they decided to make a sequel instead of a new IP, or at least to try to distance themselves from the original game as it was closely tied with Roiland.
