I personally refuse live coding sessions during interviews, including whiteboard programming. If they require this during an interview the company’s not for me.

Don’t mind code challenges where I have a timeframe and can submit. It’s not how you code normally so why should it be how you’re hired?

I have 2 sisters… We talk and game almost daily. We’re super close.

These other responses are honestly quite shocking.

Yep. He took a massive ego trip early on and immediately came across as someone I don’t particularly want to side with.

I’m a web developer and fundamentally disagree with his take on what JavaScript can do on the client side. I see what he’s getting at but I think he’s wrong. JavaScript can certainly detect access to resources (ads in this instance) without violating any enforceable policies. Half the internet does error handling with JS for things that won’t load - how can this be construed as violating eprivacy? Nonsense.

That being said I’d love for this feature to go away and would be happy to see YouTube and Google go pound sand… but this feels like a stretch. It was inevitable enshittification imo.

I mean, fair enough, right? If you modify CS2 binaries you get banned… this is how some of the protections work and have worked for a while. I’m surprised AMD thought that this was acceptable.

It sucks but a cheap USB sound blaster would work fine here…

I second this. Very good quality reviews, and enjoyable to watch. Ended up getting a Miyoo Mini + based upon his review…

What did you upgrade to? I’m also still on a 1070 and dreading the upgrade. Thinking AMD 7000 series though.

Who the fuck is Ana de Arm? /s

I see no downvotes 🤔. It’s at +61/-0 right now so far as I can see…

I must be in like some weird alternate reality because my boss recognises that the office is a distraction, and doesn’t go there often himself. We go there very seldomly, primarily to catch up with colleagues, but not to work on our tasks.

I get maybe 15-20% of my normal work done at the office.

Granted this might increase over time if I came in regularly but it’d never touch how productive I am at home. This rhetoric about losing productivity working from home is dangerous and bullshit.

Veracrypt and use a hidden encrypted partition so you have plausible deniability. Remove the app after. If it’s encrypted it’ll be fine so long as it doesn’t look obvious.

I’ve never heard of border guards checking devices, ever… and definitely not randomly. If you’re paranoid the cloud is a safer option of course, as others have said. Backblaze is great for cost etc… but definitely encrypt before upload imo.

Paywall :(

I’ve seen this and it’s disappointing, but I’d sooner stop using the website than I would Firefox.

On the contrary however the certificate authority I use only grants certificates to Firefox or Safari browsers… so there’s that.

I run a second Unraid server with a couple of backup-related applications, as well as Duplicati. I have my main server network mounted and run scheduled jobs to both copy data from the main pool to the backup pool, as well as to Backblaze. Nice having the on-site backup as well as the cloud based.

I occasionally burn to 100gb blurays as well for the physical backup.

Have been running my main box off the same USB for a couple of years without issue. Decided to not boot again after restarting today… wouldn’t even show up on another machine.

I’ve never had one fail on me so it was a new experience. Didn’t like having to log my box into lime-tech but it seems it was required. At least the license exchange went someone easily and then it decided it had to do a parity check so I’m offline for even longer. Thankfully I had a backup of the USB from only a few days prior… good lesson right here!
