  • I was working at a chemical plant, and had my tow motor license for about a week. We had these garage doors that stayed closed most of the time to keep everything compartmentalized in case of a fire. I was driving along with a pallet on the forks, and some asshole spilled water and didn’t put up the wet floor sign or even attempt to clean it up.

    I hit the brakes, went sideways, and absolutely destroyed the bottom 3 panels on this garage door. The bags on the skid I was carrying ripped open and made a huge mess, but thankfully what I was carrying didn’t react to water. My manager went back and looked at the tape recording and found the guy who did it. Then he made him clean up the mess I made, and fired him when he was done. The whole thing was scary as hell.

    I’m usually that person as well. BG3 was the first game in probably 8 years that hooked me on the story. If I sprinted through it, I would have probably saved like 80% of the time I spent playing it, but I enjoyed it. Maybe I’m simple, to me it felt like the decisions mattered.





  • I believe it’s a Crowdstrike EDR software update pushed through a windows update that caused the outage, which is definitely not a consumer solution.

    Having had something to do with endpoint management in my past life, this is exactly the reason why we roll out updates gradually, and not to everyone all at once. My current employer did this the right way, and we had like 20% of the endpoints blue screen and we could actually function today while we worked through the issue.





  • recall taking screenshots periodically

    Seriously, you didn’t get through the first paragraph?

    the notion of a tool that silently takes a screenshot of your desktop every five seconds”

    Saying “periodically” is a pretty trivial way of putting it.

    Microsoft and Adobe fighting each other over who gets enshittification of the decade award. Sam Altman is probably crafting a victory speech about what chatGPT 12 might possibly be able to do, someday. The sooner all this snake oil hype crashes and burns, the better off we’ll all be.
