    Working IT, it’s impressive how many people don’t understand basic computer functions. Even young people who grew up with technology. I impressed someone by fixing something by quitting and relaunching an app the other day. C’mon…

    For those who don’t know, the title of the post refers to an error code, ID-Ten-Tee, meaning IDIOT.

    Another would be PEBKAC: Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair.





  • I’m extremely angry about Sam Altman fucking over the RAM market.

    Granted, WhatsApp native was not perfect, but it used less than 200MB of RAM and had smoother animations and faster load times. Unfortunately, Meta disbanded the team behind the native client as part of the layoffs and replaced WhatsApp with a WebView2-based solution, which uses seven times more RAM than the older native client.

    But if there’s any silver lining in this shit, it may be that software vendors are forced to spend resources making their code more performant. Probably not, but we can hope.






  • As a teenager on LSD, I was trying to explain to a friend that I saw fractals in the shadows but I couldn’t remember the word.

    “I see that thing, you know, patterns that are part of math…”

    “When you take acid you see math?!”

    It was really frustrating. I don’t know that I ever explained to him what word I wanted after we came down.
