Yeah, I know it's owned by Canva.

They've added a bunch of AI stuff that's behind their subscription, but for at least the last year, the program has been getting regularly improved with the promise of an iPad app soon™.

It will for sure turn to shit in the future, but is pretty good in its current state.

    My one gripe with Android Auto currently is that you can't use a separate Bluetooth headset/mic with Google assistant. It makes the assistant useless for motorcycles unless the AA unit supports connecting a Cardo/Sena directly to it.

    I don't work in recruiting at all. I don't read resumes.

    Office vs labor in my industry is weighted towards labor making more money.

    Non-union on government contracts requires prevailing wage pay at union agreed rates. A laborer (basic unskilled labor) can make $45/hour with fringe benefits at $25/hour. They make OT on top of that which the salaried office employees don't.

    Not every industry pays their workers garbage.

    Not defending the recruiters for not reading resumes, but I've seen the recruiting queue and it sucks.

    Way more than half the applications are fake, from out of the country (for jobs that require you to work physically at the location), or just clearly entered for unemployment requirements. Across dozens of applications on each of the dozens of open positions each week.

    State/federal requirements mean the jobs have to be posted to a bunch of equal opportunity job boards that never produce real candidates.

    There's a reason recruiters are feeding all their shit through AI. It became an AI slop fight for both sides of the job application process.

    Unless one of your outlets is wired backwards, plugging this into 2 outlets on the same side of your electrical panel won't do anything.

    If you were able to plug it into outlets on different sides of your panel, then you just created a 240v short and the cable is going to be real-spicy real-quick.

    Amazon will do same-day delivery on a bunch of stuff if you're in an area where it's available. You can order shit while you're at work and have it dropped off at your house by the time you're home without having to stop at a store.

    I don't live where same-day is available, but even ordering for pickup at brick and mortar adds 20+ minutes to my commute. A few minutes out of the way, waiting at the store, and hitting multiple traffic lights both ways isn't a negligible amount of time.

    At work we buy workstation laptops for our engineers. From Dell, the exact same laptop cost $3,200 in January, $4,400 in April, and $5,900 as of mid-May.

    We're just not buying them and instead shopping different brands.

    The AI bubble has absolutely fucked pricing for computers.

    Saw this article from Microslop the other day about their MDASH copilot model competing with Mythos for bug finding/fixing.

    And here's the image they went with for the flowchart of what the AI does... Complete with overlapping text and the worst layout I've ever seen.

    Zero humans proofed this.

    I think enterprise is the least affected.

    Win11 installs are done with Autopilot. Users log in with their company MS accounts and if admins need access they log in with the LAPS account.

    Enterprise moved away from local accounts even before COVID.
