Similarly, if you go back even further into console and PC gaming history you can find some game that use what, looking back, would be considered terrible control layout and/or gameplay mechanics.

You can just say resident evil.

Shouldn't they though? They are already competing at a disadvantage. If selling Bluetooth headphones allows them to continue making phones as sustainably as possible, shouldn't they do so instead of going out of business or compromising elsewhere?

How does removing the headphone jack change their position?

My kitchen is about 100 sqft wall-to-wall. No dishwasher so no matter what I do, there's dishes in the sink/counter. EVERY DAMN TIME I try to cook a slightly complicated meal, my fiancée wants to help, the dogs want floor snacks, and the kid suddenly decides they want fridge snacks (they NEVER look in the fridge for food) and to know what's going on with the smells and noise.

It's an exercise in patience to not yell angrily at every living being to get the fuck out (both fiancée and kid have anxiety and ADHD, dogs don't give a shit about my opinions on their chosen location).

Yeah. Wait til you learn that New Mexico is older than Mexico.

My stepkid had one of these exact ones. He pulled it out and the outside sleeve detached.

The internals on these are incredibly unsafe. There's a very high chance you can rip it out, and the tines will remain plugged in, with nothing to grab onto to remove them. The tines themselves are only pinched internally by a weak little bit of metal to connect to the rest of it, not even soldered.

I've been forced to start calling these wall dongles by my fiancé, I made sure that in order to accept this terminology that wall warts with the cord attached are now dingle-dongles, and the ones with a cord before the electronics are dangle-dongles.

I wouldn't want any other person to touch my keyboard. I blame the lack of accessible cleaning supplies and the fact that if anyone higher up sees me not staring at my screen with a hand on the keyboard they'll think I'm lazy and not working. Which is true, but they don't need to be thinking that.

 

Hi sysadmins, I am thinking of doing a pretty drastic career change. I have 10+ years of experience in chemistry doing bioanalysis and a few years repairing breath alcohol analyzers. I have always considered messing around with electronics, networking, and computers/servers as a hobby and have been using various Linux distros as my main os for almost 20 years.

I have come to see my specialty in my line of work as a dead end. I'm pretty damn good at my job but I feel like automation is going to be taking over very soon, and I'm not that good that I think I'll be in the top 10% that get to stick around and run the automations when the robots finally take over. So I'm considering doing a career change to IT/sysadmin.

What I'd like to know is what should I learn how to do to see if I'll even like moving down this path? What can I set up at home, break, then fix that would give me an idea as to what the sysadmin life is really like?

I'm pretty sure I haven't ever really done any sysadmin type work with my home setups, seeing as I build and set up services I want for myself and at the level I'm willing to put up with. For the most part I can be handed something already implemented and work within that space to keep it going and adjust it to what I want it to do or fit my set up. I can usually find my way through log files and error codes to figure out what the problem is and duckduckgo my way to a fix.
