I get no longer supporting products, but bricking them?

I think what’s happening in the background here is these “Internet of Trash” devices hook to cloud infrastructure for which the business no longer wants to pay.

If they were interested in actually building something useful, they would open up their API layers and add a way to link them to different services. But since they don’t give a fuck about you as a customer, they plan poorly as a business, and they have no ability to produce well-engineered software, instead they code everything so that it is hopelessly coupled (probably through hard-coded things up to and including certificates) with specific garbage they made, make it impossible to move to anything else, and then brick your shit.

I’m thinking of buying 3 and making a small k8s cluster

Reaching new depths of absolute loserdom daily.

That would require people to have three to four close friends that could tolerate their presence. That’s an exceedingly rare thing in the US as we’re mostly all intolerable cunts.

They also continually forget that you can’t do frontend only validation for things.

The world would be a lot better if liars suffered an unrecoverable reputational hit for lying.

I just use butter to cook my eggs. I also pay attention to the bonds that the bottom of the egg form with the pan. By using a stainless turner on a stainless pan you can get between the egg and the bonds it’s forming with the pan. The more often you manipulate it and make sure those bonds don’t form, the more “non-stick” the egg is.

I usually pan flip single eggs cooked with this method because the egg slides around the pan easily.

My wife has a problem doing the same though, so I buy a couple of the disposable Teflon junk pans on a recurring basis.

I’ve been looking at the pirotech pans which are supposed to be nonstick and fully recyclable, but I’ve been unable to find a lot of reviews on them.

Bonus points if it’s a Linux course

Should be renamed things you may absolutely hate

Yeah but most of these errors don’t even give out a uuid that could be used to relate the error to logs to be resolved by someone.

Not that that someone exists anyway. Let’s face it the entire industry is a massive joke and a pile of shit and with AI coming fast and hard soon you won’t even get the privilege of venting to a call center person about it.

You’ll vent to some made-up chatbot named veeblezorp and he will give you an impromptu therapy session about the state of the world. Your computer/tablet/phone/app still won’t work properly and veeblezorp will try to get you through the stages of grief about that.

Just unplug it and don’t plug it back in again. Go for a walk. Play with the dog. Hug your children. Stop buying crap online that scales up infinitely to take new customers (and their dollars) but is forever stuck at the sub-garage startup level when it comes to support.

That’s becoming alarmingly common, and I’d like to see it go away entirely.

Random question: do you happen to be downloading all of your Kindle books? 😜

Stop buying shitty, overpriced food from a dumpster organization.

If you stop buying it, you’ll help signal to the dumpster organization that their prices are too high.

In fact, it’s part of the reason I’ve started to move back to Reddit.

Lol, yeah cuz Reddit has no bots at all.

In no way does that link prove that the state has a monopoly on violence. Are we just pasting random Wikipedia articles and pretending that’s an argument now?

Ever heard of the castle doctrine?

That’s just one example. Maybe next time you attend libertarian idiot 101 you should do it with a bit of skepticism instead of immediately accepting everything they say without evidence.

WTF are you even talking about?

It does not

That’s actually libertarian idiot 101, different class, held in the garage of a disheveled rancher flying a gadsden flag.

The “American experiment” as far as I am aware is one of “self-governance”.

It arguably has never been tried in earnest since the founding of this country, at very least failed entirely in 2016 with Russia’s influence and the zero consequences that arose from that, and was likely dealt a critical blow by the citizens united decision which all but guaranteed that rich people would decide our elections for us in the future.

We voted ourselves into what I’m now pretty convinced is an unshakable oligarchy. You’ll get what the rich, international oligarchs want you to have and nothing else. They’ve built bunkers in New Zealand and the Ozarks for when the consequences come knocking at their doors.
