I use raid 0 for backup.

^/s

I like to call that the “putting a pillow over its face” method of rebooting. Reserved for when even a shutdown /r /t 0 doesn’t work

May I recommend either duck or dolphin

So uhhhh no one else read Stephen King’s work or the Child Called It series as a kid huh?

This tells me that you know very little about how in control of designs engineering teams are. 99/100 times it’s not up to the engineers on what the specifications or limitations are for any given design.

Typically, sales says they’ll have something that fits whatever crazy need no matter if a perfectly suitable design already exists if they consulted the engineers or shop, typically to get the sale. Engineering is then forced to adjust the design because nothing existing will fit.

Funny enough, it’s not the engineers that are doing it. Left to their own devices without ridiculous constraints like “someone else is doing it this way so we need you to do something that sets us apart” or “you can’t look at what everyone else is doing”, engineers will do it the laziest way they can… By copying what others are doing and essentially making it standard.

I see your point but I counter with Neil Gaiman.

As someone who just had a one shot with three couples and one guy who murderhoboed until he had to leave to take care of his pregnant wife, I find this stereotype funny as hell.

I flipped between dark tower and cheater mccheater face on the bottom right.

I don’t use the drive through because I’m lazy. I use it so I can have the most minimal amount of human contact possible

Assuming you don’t live in a food desert… Or have a baby that requires more milk than you can produce… Or have a pet that requires a particular diet…

Honestly, get the flux and a hot air station instead, imo. Then again, I prefer being able to have control over where the heat is going instead of reflowing everything at once

Might as well add some picos to scratch that itch. And the rabbit hole that micro controllers bring… next thing you know, your work desk is also a solder station, a hot air station, PCB design, circuit design, and you’ve got two extra diy printers in various state of being built/rebuilt

I don’t have a problem, you have a problem

Sometimes it’s less about the person that you’re targeting and more about what that access gives you.

Low level accountant? Office worker with an excel file full of passwords or has correspondence with your actual target at a different company that you can pose as to gain access into?

They’re just a step in the process.

Nope. Older than the universe. Can’t weasel your way out of this one science boy

It’s a tool to aid in creating a product, not a tool that magics out a finished product. That’s my point. Too many people use it as the latter instead of the former.

Letting a language model do the work of thinking is like building a house and using a circular saw to put nails in. It will do it but you should not trust the results.

It is not Google. It can, will, and has made up facts as long as it fits the format expected

Not at the very least proof reading and fact checking the output is beyond lazy and a terrible use of a tool. Using it to create the end product instead of as a tool to use in creation of an end product are two very different things.

I’m glad you understand my point. Chatgpt is not Google. It’s a language model that will give you something that looks like the thing you asked for it to provide. It can and will pull facts out of its recycle bin if it fits the cadence of what it expects the answer to look like.

I don’t mind the tool itself if you use it as such. I do mind when people use its output as the final product. See: the lawyer who used chatgpt for a legal brief

When I say “fucking zoomer”, I mean it in an endearing way. Promise. If a Gen z kid irritates me, I just link the sounds of dialup modems to them. Much more cathartic.
