that's + auto suggest is a good way to avoid getting someone else's email at work. when I started at my new company of 300ish people there were 12 with my first 3letter name

I have a audio technica AT-LP120-USB and it shows up in Audacity as an input source. my good speakers are hooked up to my livingroom PC + TV anyway, so playing back \ recording through audacity is the only way I've ever used the player.

that website smells like dr bronner's soap

have to say I have had the same concern. it could happen, any business can fold. I just bought a new AMD 13 anyway. I've decided that the right to repair (and, lol, option to repair, even) is far more important than maximizing my dollar to fps ratio and I'm happy to add my contribution to the cause

This has been a great year for new Star Trek stories

Seveneves was a fun read. The knitwork looks great too

My ugly sweater collection needs that Windows XP sweater she’s wearing

In your interview you will almost certainly be asked how you’d solve an issue that you have no idea how to approach

^ This completely. I am a tech support Tier 1/Tier 2 support hiring manager for a private tech company. Our software and hardware product is our own creation and we have no expectation you'll know how to fix any of our stuff.

I ask someone a question troubleshoot a TV screen + generic PC that's showing a blank/black screen. In the scenario both should be powered on and displaying our software, but it's possible neither are at the moment. I ask how they'd approach getting things back up. My POV is that it's a type of fault that everyone who's ever worked a PC/ChromeBox/VCR/DVD/GameConsole/CableTVbox/etc has ran into and should be able to spitball an answer regardless of background.

What I am listening for is the steps you would take to work through a problem and why. I am also paying attention to if you are someone that can work through a problem, it's a surprising number of people who just don't seem able to.

Someone who I didn't hire wasn't sure and ended up suggesting we check the wifi.

Good luck on the interview, and the clothes look great. Anything business casual will almost always be accepted and if they ding you on no tie be glad you dodged that bullet

possibly, just possibly, if CEOs weren't pathologically greedy then you'd be able to pay your workers what they are worth and wouldn't have this 'it's too expensive' worry to keep you from doing the right thing

McDonald’s strong sales recovery and a healthy stock price performance earned its chief executive

Chris Kempczinski received a pay package of just over $20 million in 2021, according to new SEC documents filed on Monday.

That was nearly double the $10.8 million he was paid during the pandemic-plagued 2020. It was also the largest pay package received by a McDonald’s CEO since 2017, when Kempczinski’s predecessor Steve Easterbrook received $21.8 million.

my work uses two different 4 day setups. we run 24/7/365 coverage. one shift is either 10 hour/day Sun-Weds or Weds-Sat, the other setup is a rolling 10 hour/day 4 days on, 4 days off. One gets you a consistent schedule, but you're regularly working a weekend day. The other is less consistent (work days cycle back around every few weeks) but you're for sure to get full weekends now and then.

a TIL for me too. I can't see who downvotes from the comment icons themselves, not sure where people are finding that

a frugal attitude if you're hoping to save on needing more bookshelves
