Damning, but nothing that hasn’t already been talked about for a while now. Just formalizing the review. He’s a creep who did some cool things with software. It’s time to move on and leave him behind.

I’ve got a Bible signed by Jesus. It’s pretty valuable. Make me an offer.

Look for a MSP (Managed Service Provider) for your first gig, if you can. MSP's contract IT services to small to medium businesses that can't / won't hire or budget for full-time IT. You get exposed to a lot of stuff this way. Maybe half of clients use Google cloud services and the other half use Microsoft cloud services. You learn and become an expert in both.

Same with different VOIP services, different app suites, different security software, different network hardware, etc. It's a great way to speed-run IT and get exposure to a lot of tech. Bonus points when you later move to a dedicated company. The complexity goes way down. My job post-MSP is cruising and easy compared to what I did for the previous five years.

Good luck!

iPhone 1.0. I was notoriously good at getting lost cause I'm not great with directions. A couple days after I got it, I was going somewhere in a city that isn't my own. I stepped off the train and pulled up the map app, looked at a couple of street signs, and said, "I'm going that way."

I thought to myself, this changes everything. Younger people who never had to rely on paper maps will never understand how profound that moment was.

This was basically how it happened to me.

They saw the batshit crazy stuff I wrote and decided in advance not to let me speak.

One of the men on board appeared to be holding an image of Mike Lindell, CEO of the My Pillow company.

Ok, I was mad until I read this and then I was full of chuckles. What a dumbass stunt and I love that this former-and-soon-to-return crackhead was inadvertently brought into the conversation.

Also, show your faces, nazi fucks. If you’re so proud, why are you hiding?

“I got here as soon as I felt like it.”

And that’s exactly the sort of pedantry we’re discussing.

For non-~~Austrian~~ Australian readers, I found this:

Holy hell.

Would it make the internet better? Probably.

The board needs to oust the CEO.

 

Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (née Byron; 10 December 1815 – 27 November 1852), also known as Ada Lovelace, was an English mathematician and writer chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. She was the first to recognise that the machine had applications beyond pure calculation.

Happy computers and algorithms, everyone!

 

This is ~~a~~ [edit] several months old, but I was following up on the case and saw it for the first time now.

Grayson told Adkins there was a warrant out for his arrest and issued him a Notice to Appear, a document equivalent to an arrest, recommending felony drug charges against him. The case dragged out for two years before it was dropped, and a new investigation reveals the warrant — and other evidence Grayson said he had against Adkins — never actually existed. Body camera footage shows Grayson admitting to the chief of police he had no evidence to recommend charges, but even after the footage surfaced in court, no other department or agency was notified.

Wtf are we doing?

 

Well, this just got darker.

 

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch. I’ll pour one out for these poor souls. Ha!

 

Poor little buddy just keeps getting hammered by the deep state… Sad pillow

 

When faced with these requests, DoorDash customer service reps would ask for some form of verification. The indictment states that the men would use the personal information of the Dasher, such as their phone number, date of birth, recent transactions, or even the last four digits of their driver’s license, to authenticate themselves.
