The “shortage” is temporary and artificial, so that’s a hard NO. The ram shortage doesn’t present any incentive to make apps more efficient because the hardware and software that is already in people’s homes won’t be effected by the shortage and people who currently use the software won’t be affected by the shortage. The very small percentage of people that will be affected by the temporary shortage wouldn’t justify making changes to software that is currently in development.

There’s no incentive for software companies to make their code more efficient until people stop using their software so stop using it and it will get better. Just as an example Adobe reader is crap, just straight up garbage, but people still use it so the app stopped getting improvements many years ago. Then Adobe moved to a subscription based system, and cloud service for selling your data but guess what, it’s still the same app that it was 10 years ago, just more expensive.

As cheesey as it was, I actually loved MD Geist, I bought the VHS taps.

I hole heartedly believe my company would have replaced everyone in my department with remote workers from India if government regulations didn’t require US citizenship or qualified people. What I mean by qualified I don’t necessarily mean their quality of work but government regulations that require certificates and licenses to do the work.

So I guess AI will be after my job very soon

Well they probably had record earnings for a few quarters then their backlog caught up to their inability to deliver.

We would go to Folk’s or TGIF or O’charlys or a local tavern, as long as you weren’t ordering beer or steaks, it was do able.

This makes me sad. About 15 years ago we could go out as a family of 4 to a nice-ish restaurant for just entrees for just under $50 before tip.

The only way I see this sort of working is getting people together similar to Abandonware and either making emulators or someone figuring out how to fake the server authentication on a local PC for a console to ping. It would probably send the console manufacturers into a frenzy, especially Nintendo.

I can see the hardware part being easy enough, a miniPC for $200-$300 or an older junker PC running Linux from storage and a CAT6 from the console to the miniPC. The hard part would be figuring out what every single game needed to authenticate itself.

But where it really falls apart are systems that only partially run on the local console or require lots of online players to even function. So anything after Gen 7 or 8 probably wouldn’t work or would be very limited.

I’m hoping that by installing all of my game discs and updating everything before putting it away that it will remain somewhat functional if I pull it out of storage. I will give is a little more time then try it, so fingers crossed.

Remaking a movie or retelling a story or changing a political event or casting an unbelievable caste just because it fits today’s politically correct views.

This thing happened so stop pretending it didn’t or your historical piece is now fantasy or now it’s completely unbelievable.

Stop remaking movies and changing the tone or message. Here’s a novel idea for you film makers, you can make a new movie with a similar plot but with a different name, now we won’t be going in with raised expectations.

Take the time to do it right the first time but also don’t waste time if it doesn’t add value.

Having a process is great but if the process exceeds the value then the process not only harms profit margins but also erodes morale. If the reason a process exists is to counter bad behavior then it’s an employee problem not a process problem.

Open office floorplans are a terrible idea!

Work from home shouldn’t be considered a given based on the job tasks but a privilege and benefit extended to those employees that have shown the discipline and reliability to work from home. But the in office requirement shouldn’t be forced on everyone just to satisfy a “butts in seat policy” or a managers insecurity.

Low voltage electrical engineer!

The issue that I take with AI is that it’s having a similar effect on ignorance that the Internet created but worse. It’s information without understanding. Imagine a highschool drop out that is a self proclaimed genius and a Google wizard, that is AI, at least at the moment.

Since people imagine AI as the super intelligence from movies they believe that it’s some kind of supreme being. It’s really not. It’s good at a few things and you should still take it’s answers with skepticism and proof read it before copy/paste it’s results into something.

Haven’t seen this meme in a while. Next we will see the Kinder Surprise meme.

Also a if a 16oz cup is filled to the top with ice then it’s about 8oz of liquid before the ice melts. So this meme is for spreading ignorance for a laugh or a marketing scheme to convince Americans to by smaller cups without lowering the price.

What if Jesus was never crucified and instead cursed Judas into being the Grinch’s ancestor and the Who’s are Jesus’ descendants and that’s why the Grinch hates Christmas so much. The movie is just about the descendants of both bloodlines learning to forgive each other.

At least the pregnant woman can grow a beard

I have the problem of it giving me very vague answers. For example: I recently made the switch back to a Samsung from using Sony phones for years because they don’t want Americans using their phone, I am a little salty. Now I can’t find simple settings and customizations because they are turned off or hidden by default on Samsung. So I go to the Google and it’s basically telling me to find it in settings, an hour or so later that’s when I find out it’s turned off and I have to turn on the feature because AI sent me on a wild goose chase, only to find the answer on a darn AI generated YouTube video.

That was so frustrating and I think AI was just messing with me.

To be fair, he’s probably near even touched a coin before
