If the noise will interrupt daytime work they will. Or if its close to the deadline and the GC is going to owe a ton of money for being late. Or they have to do some core drills above an occupied floor.

The rare part would be alone and not part of a crew, and more telling, being near the front desk. Construction in a building with a front desk is usually forced to go through the freight entrance only.

I believe my wife and kids now snack on cheese flavored turtle crackers for this reason. Couldn’t tell you the brand, I think its from Aldi (I can’t eat them so not 100% on the name, but they are definitely turtles)

Yep.

I’d happily crap on them for being an e-waste factory, for making it insanely hard to install anything outside of their app store, etc.

This ain’t it. This is nothing.

Could have been an excited 13yr old.

Not enough context to know!

Like two replies later they tried to tell me “blue maga is a nickname” lol

Yeah, to create a false equivalency. We already knew that.

Her cult followers

And here you just admitted that was bullshit and it wasn’t the same. Wild how you’re saying it again here!

Edit: I’m just going to go ahead and…

There we go, just for posterity.

The original idea of a meme came from Dawkins in the 70’s, and “Internet Meme” from Godwin in the early 90’s, talking about message boards, usenet, listservs, etc.

4chan did not start the concept, no. Lolcats came from 4chan, iirc. But internet memes predate the existence of 4chan.

Far too many, yes.

Yes.

All of it should be. Why the fuck shouldn’t it be stopped too? Wtf?

I’m on the east coast myself, in my 40s, also tech (mostly hardware/design, but some software in support of that hw or just doing something experimental).

I will 100% show up with a T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. If I have a meeting or its the fall/spring, I have a sportjacket, but I’ve admittedly shown up in a zip up hoodie before (though that was specifically in a space I was doing some concepting in, not a boardroom).

Client meetings with their c-suite will get a collar, but its a golf shirt in the summer.

That said, I work from home pretty much exclusively, so its all t-shirts now. I wouldn’t even worry about straight up Donald Duck’ing it if it were more comfortable (its not).

I think its just generational.

Just to add to this in the simplest way possible…

Hot things heat up cold things! This is not good for frozen food! Let it cool off, then freeze it.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

No, hard disagree.

I have many thousands of dollars worth of hardware. I have seen the results of a surge. I have seen a NAS reduced to a paper weight. You’re making incredibly silly assumptions here - this has nothing to do with uptime, and everything to do with protecting your equipment.

You will not ever convince me otherwise, because I’m not willing to dump thousands of dollars on replacements because someone on the internet thinks it has anything to do with uptime.

You are wrong.

Edit: anywhere that weather exists is an area with “unreliable electricity”. Full stop.

The nice thing about some battery backup is not keeping it running during an outage, but safely shutting it all down.

I agree on the laptop battery, I’m just disagreeing on battery backup. It serves a purpose, as does decent surge elimination.

Not going to work for me, I don’t want to access it through a browser, but have it on a separate monitor, and only use the main kb/m to control. Great little device, just not a fit for what I need.

Definitely clunky on lan-mouse.

I’ll give input-leap a check with my gh account logged in, see how it goes - I’m curious if I’ll have the same fun with latency. Since its mostly for meeting stuff, a bit of lag is ok, but if its choppy or otherwise severe that could be an issue, definitely…

For the record, you may see some of these show up on ebay or something, they have been discontinued (really they just changed the line, same hardware with more variation and flexibility, which also means more variation in pricing, but also stuff like a transmitter/receiver option).

Since they are discontinued though, some companies may replace soon, so they may show up somewhere for much cheaper.

Audio which can be brought out to an amp or into a processor, relay controls, even occupancy sensor support (standard 24v line, works with pretty much anything), ability to set custom edids, and a very capable API on the base, as well as custom packages that can be installed (based around node).

Yeah its a wildly powerful little box. List price is like $2500 or so though!

More of a video switcher with USB host switching, but works nicely as a KVM. Lightware Taurus

Not really an option for me or it would interrupt some other stuff I work on personally. I could make it not my main PC and go back to Debian, but it would also mean less time for me testing my stuff. So I’m more likely to just forget IP keyboard/mouse sharing and stick one of my little keyboards and a mouse there.

The rest of the main use machines are all on what amounts to an overly expensive physical KVM (work stuff freebie), so the only reason to use the software based option is the laptop.

Yeah, Wayland definitely complicates things. I dropped synergy before v2 and no longer being open, v3 is apparently 1 with some GUI on top. I can build v1 (deskflow), as long as they are keeping the main bit underneath open I don’t mind supporting them with a $50 one time payment. We will see how it goes though, their Wayland support is still in Dev.

I had expected to see input leap further along since it had been 3 years since the fork (and 2 more years since the maintainer of the repo was active), but it doesn’t seem ready for release, as they even recommend sticking with the last barrier release for now according to their readme.

Right now, deskflow/synergy seems the most promising.
