Granted but still bad naming convension. In comparison which is better Playstation 4 or Playstation 5?

Yeah, I understand the whole different kernal thing but that's the type of thing that the average consumer shouldn't have to know to follow your program naming scheme.

Yes... And the sequels? I still don't know if Xbox one s or x box one x is the higher end model....

I have no love for Microsoft but their naming is one of the worst parts... Let's make a game console! We'll call it Xbox!... That sold well let make another! We'll call it xbox360... Time for a refresh on the gaming console! We'll call it Xbox one... Another refresh but this time let's make two versions! We'll call them Xbox one series s and x box one series s!

Or our popular ide is bloated and people are asking for a light weight ide... What's our current ide called? Visual studio but alot of people abbreviate it to vs! Let's call the new one vscode! Do they have anything in common or share functionality or shortcuts? No

Don't get me started on windows.. 3.1... 95...nt...98...2000...me...vista...7...8....10...11 like wtf???

 

I know there choice of distro is really meaningless as you can install almost any program on almost any distro. But I have been playing with kali which is for security people and pen testers. Is there a similar distro for programmers? Like a few ides installed some profiling tools some virtual environment tools etc?

This depends on the area of medical device. I work in medical device but totally different from this, mine get implanted into your body.

  1. I doubt many people have the knowledge to to truly troubleshoot our devices beyond what the doctor is allowed to do. We need a bunch of expensive and specialized hardware to troubleshoot.

  2. We are legally required to investigate and report any complaints(https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/search.cfm) . If we don't get the complaint we can't investigate and report it.

  3. If a certain number(honestly I don't know the specific number) of complaints occur we are legally required to create a corrective action to help the patients immediately (or as soon as possible) and a preventive action to ensure it doesn't effect other patients. If a person has an issue and "repaired" it themselves they don't get counted in this and as such could cause more patients to suffer.

While I agree with right to repair I think certain things should be exempt. That said then there should be a requirement of the manufacturer to ivestigate/repair the equipment.

No, I replace some of them, Whatever needs it's. For example this is actually a peripheral year so my monitors are good, my desk is good, I'm 50/50 on my chair but I'm planning to replace my speakers.

I tend to recommend a 3 year cycle. Year 1 upgrade peripherals (speakers, monitors, maybe chair, keyboard, mouse etc) year 2. Upgrade video card and hard drives. year 3. Upgrade motherboard, ram and cpu. Year 4 repeat year 1

With this you can you can do 95% of the latest stuff with "good" stuff (think XX70 cards rather then 80 or 90 series) since you are never that outdated on any portion.

Yeah, ok but that means for it to be a adult bird or at least old enough to fly either 1. Young birds don't have a soul. 2. His soul was in 2 bodies at the same time.

Not to mention the amount of analog clocks that are just wrong. I work at a fortune 500 company, most clocks are digital and synced to a time server. Every analog clock is wrong. Just yesterday I walked through the cafeteria and glanced at the clock and it read 5:20... For a second I panicked and was like it can't be that late. I checked my phone, it was 3:06. The clock was just not set properly.

Delete if self-promotion is not allowed but I am looking for capital funding for my new startup featuring Ham based boneless chicken wings...all the fun of boneless chicken wings with the added fun of ham. It will be a sensation!

*not actually looking for funding or a self-promotion...its a joke
