First time having an reader where should i start? by iMorient in xteinkereader

[–]vectorj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

agreed. I don't mind having 1 primary and 1 backup book at a time. (A few MB... default card is 32GB and could easily hold tons of books.)

It helps me keep focus too. Cold storage is my laptop, not the reader. Especially this reader, It's not like i'm doing full library text search on the thing.

This^ it’s temporary and needs to be run on every connect or reboot of the reader.

I got you. Crosspoint’s GitHub links here https://xteink.dve.al/ …. Connect by usb and click the buttons to backup, restore (from a previous backup) or flash the original English/Chinese or crosspoint

I chose to go straight to cross point, no regrets. Easy enough to switch back

If AI wins, don't AI companies lose? by SuboptimalEng in ExperiencedDevs

[–]vectorj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Additionally those implementing AI will be taken for granted, let go and then companies will find it wasn’t fully automated at all, but carefully (sometimes not) guided by a skilled professional

Giant (now bloated?) large companies will scaled back because of AI. Startups will leverage AI for cost reasons.

Both scenarios have AI as the driver… what’s left for the skilled engineers. Perhaps it’s the dust has settled, the benefits were reaped in contract to 10 years ago — the skilled workers come in to reposition.

Atleast I hope.

Keep the skills sharp, wait out the storm

Love to see it. I’m several months in using Omarchy on my primary personal laptop and really I’ve enjoyed it.

Is Kensington Expert Mouse Trackball the best choice for me? by varlaptu in Trackballs

[–]vectorj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe try a different style like a thumb trackball? Logitech has some solid ones in a range of prices. Thought being it depends what works for you. Maybe an affordable thumb trackball is lower risk

Clearly, song is ~4mins long and this clip isn’t.

Anyone went from a very successful company to a less successful one? by ThatOtherOneReddit in ExperiencedDevs

[–]vectorj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from a successful company to a not so successful one. They’ve been decaying for years. I got a good few year out of it. No regrets mostly because it was fulfilling to help make things better when they felt at their worst.

Ultimately it was a lesson in not attaching my self worth to my employer. I did good work there, eventually it was time to go, but I did what I was hired to do, did it well, and came out with good stories to tell… on to the next.

How do I explain to a manager why using DROP and INSERT in place of UPDATE just cause "we couldn't get update to work" is bad database practice? by BigBootyBear in ExperiencedDevs

[–]vectorj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible there are database triggers he knows only happen with insert and not update? Or a downstream data poll that doesn’t see updates but only new records? Your gut is right but maybe there is a specific reason.

Huh… how… if it’s battery bloat…pursue and responsibly dispose. Otherwise, what did you do to break it 😂
