Companies use the same kind of systems to (poorly) automate the search for candidates, which is also spammy, inefficient, and wastes job-seekers time. This just levels the playing field.

It’s surprisingly calming to listen to Patrick cathartically vent, after what must’ve been a stressful education and career in finance.

Keep Lemmy small. Make the influence of conversation here uninteresting.

I’m doing my part!

I'm pretty sure that's not how it works on Lemmy. For some reason "block" here is really what "mute" is everywhere else on fedi.

It's basically corporate anti-virus software. Intended to detect and prevent malware.

Most large instances have a support community. That seems like the suitable place to raise a moderation issue with specific a community on the instance.

According to the article this system also detects power outages and shuts off when they happen. Just like full-scale solar power systems. But yeah, no physical kill switch.

I'm guessing regular non-LP DDR works fine socketed in desktops because power is nearly a non-issue. Need to burn a few watts to guarantee signal integrity? We've got a chonky PSU, so no problem. On mobile devices however every watt matters..

And I don’t think they give out stock grants to warehouse workers, but I could be wrong.

Yeah. That's my point. And still people take these jobs and work very hard indeed. Try explaining "limited bathroom break time" to your average tech worker.

Average Amazon .com Warehouse Worker hourly pay in the United States is approximately $16.96, which is 7% above the national average.

People don't seem to understand the average worker would kill to make $80/hour and $200k in RSUs. Not a dream job, right.

Yeah. Tech has gotten worse. But you really think it's better in any other sector? I'm sure there are a few highly-compensated lap-dance-inspectors out there but the vast majority of workers deal with the same shit techies are dealing with, for significantly less pay and respect, if you can believe that.

One of the developers I respect most in my career walked out on .5M in bonuses on Amazon because of their ranking system for his employees. I was shocked.

This also shows what an incredibly privileged position techies have in the job market. I totally understand quitting Amazon. Really, I wouldn't want to work there either. But ask one of their warehouse workers if they'd ever quit and forfeit a 0.5M bonus...

 

Edited the title to what the article has now.

 

New OLED screen. New APU. And lots of small hardware improvements.
