Far and away the best way to get a job is through someone you know.

Otherwise, I have a friend that worked for a sort of agency that hires a bunch of juniors, does some light training, then contracts them out to other companies. You do that for 6 - 12 months then convert into a full-time position directly with the company you were contracting for. Not glamorous, but it’s an option and can lead to good outcomes. It worked out well for my friend.

Recalls are always repaired for free, by law. They are also compulsory to issue. Otherwise, manufacturers have proven they are more than happy to let people die rather than lose a few bucks.

You can’t just rename all of your products to “Agentforce Xyz” then claim that revenue is thanks to AI. Well, actually, I guess you can.

H1Bs are temporary. You can apply for a green card while on an H1B, though that’s not the intent. H1Bs bring immigrants in to pay them dirt, suppress wages for citizens, then send them back and bring in the next wave.

Green card application, if you go for it, also requires that you remain in your current position until the multi-year process is done. So promotions are out of the question and goos luck getting any raises. Have an issue with work treating you like a dog? Have fun picking up your family and moving back overseas.

Meanwhile US citizens need to compete with desperate immigrants being paid half as much as an American worker.

Oh, interesting, that’s pretty new. Technically it’s not an official part of the W3C spec yet, but it’s close enough that browsers support it now. Though, it only allows you to control the bar color, track color (which is generally invisible nowadays, so track color changes nothing), and width. So, yes, more customization than was there before, but still extremely minimal.

It’s a few lines of css, no JS required.

.my-div:hover {
  overflow-x: scroll;
}

And the look and feel of the scrollbar is generally determined by the browser/OS. Unless someone does a custom scrollbar implementation, but that is exceedingly rare. So that thin rounded gray bar is a browser/OS design, again, without any JS.

One simple trick Jesus doesn’t want you to know.

It isn’t hardware and doesn’t have some kind of proprietary interface that takes time to get used to when switching.

The proprietary interface is kinda the largest selling point, besides the once cheap prices. But the $10 plan going from 300 multi-hour prompts per month to 20 quick prompts per month effectively makes it worthless. Though, you could just pay a few hundred/thousand per month and continue, or bring your own API key from elsewhere, but at that point just use someone else’s interface. It’s not that much better than competitors and copilot isn’t offering anything unique.

3DS, please come back!! The AYN Thor is trying. It would be cool if valve built something like it. Preferably with the autostereoscopic display. I know it’s a gimic and nobody uses it much, but damn is it a cool gimic.

For any platform, really, it’s just that mobile suffers from the “everything must be an app” problem the worst. Luckily, fast food hasn’t gotten bold enough to ask you to install a desktop app when opening their website.

99% of apps can just be websites, and probably 80%+ of them are just PWAs in a wrapper that can be published on an app store.

Electricity. Off-site backup. FOSS project donations. Thigh-high socks. Domains.

Will someone please give me a step-by-step guide on how to make new friends under 60 and have consistent daily “human experiences” outside of a city center?

I’d love to give up my phone and possibly TV… if it everyone else does too so there are other humans to interact with. Society is in a depressing cath-22 of loneliness.

Though it can’t be impossible. Group hobbies, sports, etc exist. Just gotta pick one and go to meet ups. But phone is so much easier 🤤
