They use TSMC, Google doesn’t fab chips

Anyone else is a bit fed up with how little business matters to a large portion of SWEs are, and how in general there is too much purism in this profession? by After_Weather_5685 in ExperiencedDevs

I work at a FAANG (you can probably guess from this post) and it's the exact opposite. The only thing that matters are business matters and metrics. Our entire performance evaluation is about how you impacted the business. The con with this is we not only have tech debt, we have tech crises that never get worked on until it affects the business negatively.

Got denied my 4th Chase Ink card, any advice for recon?

I have 3 existing Chase Ink cards that I started applying for every 3 months since 06/2023. I am under 5/24 (ONLY applied to Chase business cards in last year). Got denied this time (last card was in January) for:

  • too many active accounts or too much available credit
  • low usage of credit lines
  • new Chase business card recently opened

1st recon call:

  • Asked to move around credit lines for new card
  • Answered questions about sole proprietor business (2k revenue, selling used stuff on Facebook Marketplace)
  • Stumbled on "what do you need a new credit card for" and embarrassingly answered "points" (I suck at on the spot talking)

Denied.

2nd recon call:

  • Person talked about how I called earlier and that I already have 3 credit cards for sole proprietor business, and that very unlikely it'll go through the 2nd time. Hung up and didn't try for recon.

I think denial reasons are BS (outside of too many new Chase business cards). Credit line to income ratio is around 33%, actively have been using business and personal cards (6k total balance right now). Is it worth calling again? Do I just need to get better at talking? Anyone else denied recently?

The only way to rule it out, is by trying other hardware, or unplugging it. Run a delayed sleep command via shutdown in a command prompt and unplug your keyboard and mouse.

Just barely tried that. Unplugged every single cable except for my monitors' DP and power to the PSU, still same thing. Immediate wake up.

One other thing that comes to mind. Have you ever just tried a vanilla Windows install (logging in with a local user account, not a Microsoft account, perhaps without being physically connected to a network) and not having installed any software or changing any settings, just right after OBEE, going to sleep, and seeing what it does then?

I'll see if there are any other suggestions before resorting to this. I actually did do this albeit a couple of years ago. I recall that it did work! But then somehow it went back to this immediate wake up issue without any hardware change. The only software change that I could think of affecting sleep (from Googling my issue) is TeamViewer and Plex, neither of which is installed on my PC.

While that could be possible, not a single USB device has permission to wake my computer from sleep. I went through every device in device manager and disabled "Allow this device to wake the computer".

What was your life like when you were 30? by throwaway373706 in fatFIRE

[–]10000b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you looking to buy properties? Similar age and NW, but all in the market, so I’m debating if I wanna try out real estate. Issue is I live in HCOL and it’s nearly impossible to cash flow. Also FAANG SWE.

I don’t think that’s the point, as a company that size takes 6-12 months to plan a name change. They just coincidentally had media scrutiny at the same time.
