By Daz Go To PostI know I've asked this before, but - Android or ios?Most important question: which one has the apps you want to use?
Other important questions: to what extent do you value "privacy"? iOS is better for most in this respect, but there are Android OS phones out there that are built around privacy as much as possible, but require more work and upkeep.
Never used ios before for phone - I got a macbook pro for the first time last summer - so thinking about synergy,
though the lack of customisability through things like expanding storage.

Man, Intel dismantling everything after this latest FY report. People being let go, divisions closing, paycuts for a ton of people, miserable quarterly bonuses ($27-200), etc. Oof.

Intel Cuts Pay For Employees To Keep Their Quarterly Dividend
Hot off the presses, we have confirmation from multiple employees that Intel is cutting costs tremendously at the expense of their employees. These cuts are broad-based, with employees having their compensation affected. Quarterly pay bonuses are gone, annual bonuses are being paused, 401k match is halved from 5% to 2.5%, merit-based raises are suspended, and there is a pay cut to all employees’ base salary based on grade.
All employees below Principal Engineer, grades 7 to 11, will get a 5% cut, 10% cuts will be instituted for VPs, and the executive leadership team will take a 15% cut, with Pat Gelsinger taking a 25% cut. These cuts hurt even more when we are in an inflationary environment. These cost cuts are, of course, dwarfed by their quarterly dividend, of course, which we have been clamoring for them to cut for over a year.
We are sorry to all employees of Intel about this and hope they can make it through this tough time. Other firms are still hiring despite the macroeconomic conditions, although at a slower pace than before. Intel has to cut costs dramatically due to its immense amount of cash being burned.
In October, we discussed the comprehensive supply chain review that Intel was instituting to cut costs. Since then, Intel has cut an R&D center in Israel, started laying off thousands, cut their RISC-V accelerator program, ended development of networking switches, delayed construction on the Germany Fab, slowed Ohio fab tool orders, and cut capital expenditures by billions.

My boss called me to his office on friday to show an AI project he is involved with.
It was ridiculous to see him ask for the code in Rust to determine a user's age and the project would give it in 5 seconds. He asked again in Java and in a few seconds it was all there.
The future is incredible and scary.
I'm glad my boss still thinks highly of me, he called me a Superman and that I should have a cape because I do multiple things well and quick (he doesn't know I spend half of my time at work watching YouTube videos, mostly Football Manager Youtubers).

By Pho Kew Go To PostKeep watching YouTube quickly and you’ll be fineI doubt he cares that I am watching YouTube.
We have another person to help me with my work.
I work in the Regional Education department and I had people from schools saying that when I am on vacation, everything that has to do with network switches takes a long time.
My boss wants me to go to to another island to install new equipment in schools for a week or two despite the fact we have IT guys on that island with higher degrees then me because he trusts me more on that job.
Feels good to have your boss trust you that much. I know he almost quit when the higher ups didn't want to renew my contract
Thanks to regional policy changes, it's almost impossible to fire me.
I wonder how many school papers are being written with chatgpt + paraphrasing bots.
Also, why is google translate still trash in 2023?

The only thing preventing me from buying a new high end phone is that they all have these ridiculous camera bumps.
By diehard Go To PostThe only thing preventing me from buying a new high end phone is that they all have these ridiculous camera bumps.That render above looks like a head shaver
By diehard Go To PostThe only thing preventing me from buying a new high end phone is that they all have these ridiculous camera bumps.They are pretty hideous. What makes matters worse is that they are great cameras but Apple's post-enhancement AI kinda sucks, and you can't turn it off.
By Lunatic Go To PostAll new phones have terribad camera bumps so I won't knock Apple.I'm sure Google is going to put out a commercial mocking it and then six months later release a camera with a bigger camera bump
By reilo Go To PostI'm sure Google is going to put out a commercial mocking it and then six months later release a camera with a bigger camera bumpI have a Pixel 6 so I know true pain. Google has nothing to prop themselves up in this regard.
thank god for thinner bezels on the iphone. it always looked bad compared to some thinner bezel phone like it has speed bumpers all around it.
By reilo Go To Post14 pro looks better from that pic. that’s not the final version is it?
make it stop
I currently don't use 2FA and plan to start doing it. Most places will let me use the authentication app of my choice, but some require you to use only their authentication app like Steam and Battle.net. Later this year I plan to upgrade to the iPhone 15 Pro when it comes out... will it be easy to move the various authenticator apps from the old phone to the new phone without getting locked out of my accounts for having a different device?
Most 2fa apps you can transfer the key most of which involves scanning a qr code via the new phones cam in the app
i know its been asked a few times already but what's everyone's password manager preference
used LastPass for awhile, then 1password. kind of annoyed with the latter because it hasn't been saving my passwords correctly for a few months now.

I was with Lastpass and switched to Bitwarden after Lastpass started charging for using it on desktop and mobile.
Bitwarden is free and works well with Windows, Android and iOS.

By Pho Kew Go To PostAny reasons you two go with those in particular?1Password comes as part of my security subscription with the router I bought to secure my mom's network remotely. Also comes with MalwareBytes and Encrypt.Me. Might add well use it.
Just don't use Last Pass since it has been breached.
I’ll just stick to 1Password
I stopped using LastPass years ago. Whenever the free tier had features removed to make the premium look better.
Exported my passwords, deleted everything and went to 1Password, been using them for 2 years so I avoided that whole leak.

Still using lastpass. Can I just transfer everything to 1pass easily?. I don't pay anything for LastPass, I just need something to store the passwords.
By s y Go To PostStill using lastpass. Can I just transfer everything to 1pass easily?. I don't pay anything for LastPass, I just need something to store the passwords.Probably use bitwarden in that case. Don’t think you can use 1pass without subbing
I'll look into it. Thanks.
Window's clock/timer app asking for fucking privacy permission every singly timer you open it is annoying.

None of it is being invented to make the art better. You'll see Disney pushing out Robert Downey Jr in future MCU reboots with deepfake tech because none of these fucks working on this tech actually care about doing anything new but just rehashing nostalgia and save corporations money.
They unironically said that 2d animation is the "least democratized" medium.
The medium that requires no schooling, no degrees, almost no money, where entire feature films or tv episodes can be produced by a single person.
