The smart people don’t connect these “smart” devices to the network

True that too. It is a knee jerk reaction against who is there on the administration today. Same knee jerk reaction that got a person incapable of forming a coherent sentence elected because he was not black or not a woman.

3rd party has as much chance this election as any other in the past. Consider that when casting you’re vote and pick one of the two parties.

I hate that you are likely right about it.

I wanted you to be so wrong, but yet it pains me: I believe you to be so right about it.

Or maybe they will go the Musk Tesla route:

Phones will come set to let you use 64gb of space and have a battery that lasts almost a day. For a fee of they will let you make use of 256gb and additional 50% battery capacity. There will be fees for enabling software that allows supercharging with special adapters.

These unlocks can still be purchased on ebay.in

That is an interesting hypothesis that I had not considered but can agree with - it will happen. Not sure if it is happening right now at the scale of ongoing layoffs. It probably is part of it, but another portion is just companies cutting costs to make up for their quarterly numbers to turn on a profit. For the past few years companies have been turning a profit and in order to keep the trend, since last year they’ve been cutting costs and corners where they can. Any strategy to cut costs at this point is game for them, and it is not only the investment in generative AI, but the hope they can make it do with machines and code what humans are doing. In my mind we are probably out a few years from that turning reality for most companies though.

You are so right! That is the painful part that no one talks about! Took me a few days to get paperless-ngx working, because I had wrong firewall and port settings preventing docker containers communicating with each other. Once solved that I was proud and relieved - started scanning and categorizing - but in hindsight that was nothing compared to the amount of work to move stuff to it. I finally accepted that I will just have to keep doing that when I feel like it… which for the past months has been “never”. I now only put new docs in, but the older stuff is still sitting in nas folders.

I vouch for that. That’s how it is done. Good job laying down the steps; want to add that job hopping is important too early on.

  1. Get a phone help support job 1.5. Keep applying to get other better paying support job, within or outside the company
  2. Work in parallel getting trained and certified in A+ etc 2.5. Keep applying to get other better paying support job
  3. Get more certificates 3.5 Keep applying to other jobs of interest and desired pay
  4. Repeat step 3.5 until retirement.

You are right, it is not a gun control issue, it is a gun culture problem.
