Honestly, it just looks like a content blocker dropped some ads from the grid and there are either leftover containers or some CSS that’s expecting elements to be in a specific order.

Rich asshole with a reality TV show? Probably just as likely that we elect him president, wait for him to commit treason and more felonies than anyone can reasonably keep track of, and then fail to hold him meaningfully accountable for any of it.

Intel skepticism aside, I hope they can deliver on this. M-series Macs seem streets ahead in terms of battery life right now and it doesn’t feel great buying any other portable.

They otter go back to school.

Curry Pizza House? I love that place.

How weird, I was just thinking about this guy yesterday after forgetting about him for probably ~5 years. I got pretty into buying, repairing, and modding broken iPods for a little while thanks in part to some of his goofy but informative teardown videos. Still have a small box of parts somewhere.

Haven’t watched the video yet, but I’ll be a little surprised if he doesn’t immediately fire up Shrek to test whatever media player came with his distro.

50/50 on whether he’s sucking his pinky or preparing to heil Hitler.

First thing I noticed too. I’ve seen house balls with two sets of finger holes that are differently sized, but they’re usually on opposite sides of the thumb hole. I could maybe see this pattern for giving another grip option depending on hand size or where you place your thumb, if the thumb hole were offset. You’d still use two fingers, but you have two options for where to put them in relation to your thumb position.

No judgment here, and to be clear I don’t mean to invalidate her suspicion or yours. It wouldn’t surprise me if there were unethical individuals in HR who take things like this as an opportunity to call out things they don’t like… But in my experience, the asking part is pretty typical, and I doubt it was targeted.

For me, I-9 verification was very early on in the onboarding process. A list of eligible I-9 documents was provided in the onboarding paperwork and HR scheduled a time in my first day or two to show them on camera. Took maybe 2 minutes once we were actually on the call.

I didn’t press them on why when asked to unblur, but given I-9 is about presenting documents that verify your identity / eligibility to work, I suspect it’s best practice to avoid any obvious image processing as a matter of policy. At the very least, not having to worry about the paper getting blurred just makes things easier. Ultimately, they’re keeping these images on file to cover their own ass, so they want them to look as clear and legitimate as possible.

For me it was strictly during onboarding for verifying I-9 documents. I assume it’s just to ensure any documents you present aren’t getting software blurred.

Not a racism thing. Happened to me at my last two companies (white guy, both remote jobs).

I’m very interested in this. Any suggestions as far as specific models to look at, or where to source one without needing a fancy business vendor connection? Maybe a trustworthy review site to compare some options?

Haven’t seen anyone mention Decentraleyes yet. Serves CDN assets locally to avoid CDNs as a vector for tracking or fingerprinting.

Thanks for the list, found a couple I didn’t know of that look helpful! Couple more suggestions:

• WizTree is another good disk usage tool, as an alternative to Filelight. I think it’s visually closer to windirstat, but so much faster I can’t honestly remember.
• EarTrumpet is a better volume control app for the systray. I hide the default sound icon and set this to always show.
• ExplorerPatcher lets you revert some annoying Windows 11 behaviors, like disallowing vertical taskbars

Might be time to try a different client then. No issues zooming on Connect, for what it’s worth.

I install a few others every now and again to try new things, but it’s usually ad-driven / endless predatory MTX bullshit.
