This hurts how accurate it is.

I am constantly worried i am not doing enough whilst simultaneously getting mad that i have to wait for vendors and review/approval meetings to make the tiniest change.

When im most of the way through something and i just need someone in apps to make a small change, I’ve got all this steam and im almost done with the task but my priority is not their priority so it stops. And a user ibwas helping is now left hanging. And i can’t do anything.

If the pay was better i would go back to the desk.

I dunno, having worked both sides of the fence i would say whilst network skills are more valuable because the barrier for entry is higher, in that you need apecialist knowledge, the general knowledge a service desk tech is not to be underestimated (im talking those techs that actually fix and attend jobs as opposed to those on the phones)

The number of problems a tech can fix and the amount of work they get through can be astounding. sure, it’s something anyone can be trained to do, but to say it has inherently less value, i dont agree. i do networks in a hospital, and the number of people who appreciated the work i did when i worked the desk is vastly larger than the number of people that even know i exist now.

It felt alot better getting a bit of software working or replacing hardware, or recovering someones emails etc that got a doctor or a nurse working again and lowered their stress levels and made them smile than it does to upgrade cisco call manager from version 1 to version 1.1…

I agree to an extent that its not harder to work the service desk, but i dont think you should look down upon them. We all have an important role to play…

Except execs… they can fuck off.

A duck!

Its basically ripped from this guys act.

I’ve got a microphone here if you want to drop it. C==>-

Unfortunately, it also looks like a knob.

Wait… “The” ufo sightings? Is this person using language incorrectly, or have i been living under a rock.

Fair points! Elon is already likely to go down in history, but not for good reasons.

I wonder if elon has been testing all these rockets in a desperate attempt to escape the planet with a bunch of other billionaires now that global warming is on track to destroy us. It would help me understand why the wealthy all seem so hell bent on accelerating the destruction.

If something is engaging, interesting, and entertaining, then it is far more likely to stick in your mind or teach you something new than a single sentence. This 17-minute video may do more to raise awareness of google search’s enshitification than any single sentence or minutes worth of info would ever have.

I dont disagree with you, but i dont think it matters. The video will help people.

Thats subjective though…

New to who?

The video is really interesting and more useful than that single sentence though.

Is that an indicator of poor impulse control? Really? Finding some shady back of the internet ai site to put some weird fantasy prompts into to get themselves off? Seems pretty calculated to me. They can’t put it somewhere legitimate where content is moderated and policed. Seems like pretty sound logic to me.

Dont get me wrong, these people are sick. If thats what they are into then theres something wrong, but instead of targeting real kids like so many people actually do, you know, like hollywood, celebrities, musicians, the catholic church etc they are entering prompts and reading stories. Sounds like impulse controlled to me.

The first time i saw one of his reviews, i thought, “This guy isn’t genuine.” “That’s not an opinion. it’s a specification disguised as an opinion.”

He gave off real shill vibes, and then i later found out he was an apple simp, and it all came together. He isn’t super biased, but he definitely gives more providence to apple products.

His recent review of the apple vr headset was too nice. He said some bad things but qualifies each critisism with a “but i like that” or “but it’s not a deal breaker.”

Maybe i created a bias against him based on my early impressions, but i just get a bad vibe from him. He doesn’t seem to give his opinions.

I will say, though, an exception would be that rabbit thing he reviewed poorly recently and got some backlash from the manufacturer for. I believe he then came back and justified his review. Although everyone was reviewing it poorly so he would give the game away if he said it was good. So perhaps its not an exception… i dont know. Im just freestyling this comment…

Would the switch do anything here? Wouldn’t there need to be something else plugged in? Like a laptop or pc?

omg! A rollercoaster tycoon reference in the wild!

Funny how that person responded to everyone except for you. You being the person who provided evidence that likely proves them completely wrong.

Mustn’t draw attention to the argument that beats mine.

She doesn’t love me. :p

Not many people get it until they get one. I got a fold 3 when it came out and have just upgraded to a fold 6 because i just couldn’t go back. Its a better form factor for a mobile computing device. Its a phone thats also a small tablet! I gave my old one to my wife who was always averse to getting a fold and she has told me multiple times since then that its her favourite phone shes ever had.

That’s what i am saying. You need to learn it. If someone explains it to you, then you are learning. If someone gives you the answer, then you dont understand it, so you are less good at said something.

You agree with me…

Because AI and previously google searches are not a substitute for having knowledge and experience. You can learn by googling something and reading about how something works so you can figure out answers for yourself. But googling for answers will not teach you much. Even if it solves a problem, you won’t learn how. And won’t be able to fix something in the future without googling th answer again.

If you dont learn how to do something, you won’t be experienced enough to know when you are doing it wrong.

I use google to give me answers all the time when im problem solving. But i have to spend a lot more time after the fact to learn why what i did fixed the problem.
