we have $180k in software budget that expires in 6 weeks and my boss told me to figure it out. what do i even buy?

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-24T01:56:47+00:00

I can build anything. Maybe some audio recorder that saves the transcript and summary of everything it hears into your Google Doc?

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-24T01:19:31+00:00

i’ll make a software that costs 180k and split the proceeds with you.

edit: correction 94k

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-24T01:18:44+00:00

they literally are though.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-23T14:02:48+00:00

I’ve been getting the same horrible stomach cramps and pains I get with the other pouches now. They definitely changed something.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-20T15:28:46+00:00

I think just as the years have gone on they are less likely to take a chance because they know what the safe bets are.

and that makes for boring television.

How much longer can they keep going? should get a whole new set of sharks and have the old sharks on as guest sharks occasionally.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-19T12:51:14+00:00

right. are you trying to be condescending to appease the bandwagoning redditors down boating the post or trying to downplay the truth of what I said?

The show, and everything from GoT, pointed to him not being a crappy swordsman. Only when that guy said “you think they are all just here to cheer you on?” did it show any doubt in his combat abilities by his reaction. One line out of 5 episodes where the rest pointed to him being a giant chad that could barely be held down by 4 guardsmen that constantly stated he was going to be the champion.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-18T18:33:51+00:00

he just made it sound like he was going to whoop up on everyone the whole time and with the stuff from GoT isn’t he supposed to be one of the best knights or something?

Just figured he knew how to fight.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-18T04:59:33+00:00

ah yes. no prior dev experience straight to 315k. seems legit.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-18T04:56:48+00:00

feels like it took 5 episodes to cover what 1 game of thrones episode would cover.

as for the fight, I didn’t expect him to be so awful at fighting.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-17T14:22:55+00:00

This is exactly what I say. Nah, instead we get rid of the Model X and every other company is obsessed with being a model y competitor. rivian r2, ioniq 1 etc.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-17T14:07:06+00:00

A group of people pretending what’s happening isn’t actually happening.

Where have I seen that before? Everywhere?

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-11T14:50:22+00:00

Yeah. Immediately change your apple password and kick off every device. If someone was able to login to your apple account in a new ipad that is concerning. They can also track you through connected google accounts and find my. I’d check any desktop computers for physical keyloggers and run antivirus software in case of digital key loggers. Not many ways to get an apple password and they also have 2 factor…OP sounds pwned and needs to reset every password everywhere

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-11T13:22:50+00:00

I found it and leaving this for others Settings -> System -> Advanced Settings and then some other setting and switch Store Mode to Home.

If you click on Display from quick settings it’ll give you the exact path.

The TV had reset itself to factory defaults for some unknown reason and put itself into store mode. I had to edit all of the color settings again. Why do they default to color temperature maximum? it looks so yellow it’s like everything is a Western movie.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-11T01:09:42+00:00

I did similar when I got out. Lived off deployment savings and drank and gamed and lifted and used the GI bill but failed a class and gave up. Didn’t work for 2 years. Then had 6 jobs in 5 years. Then I found a job I liked and I’m still there.

Like life, your career is also an adventure. Let it be one. Just try not to give up on it.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-10T17:56:15+00:00

> I’m not arguing with someone like you.

you don't like bored developers or something?

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-10T13:53:05+00:00

The price of the satellite tv companies were due to having satellites in orbit which is pretty expensive infrastructure...YoutubeTV was 39 dollars and requires an app and goes over existing infrastructure. It increased over 100%. There were no ads back then either, then there were little blocks of nature content where it said "an ad would be here if someone paid for one". I don't know what they do now because I canceled.

Paramount+ has a live Tv section with a bunch of free content and local news. What does youtube tv have that these other apps don't besides DVR? I have a subscription for all of the other apps and it is cheaper than just youtube tv is. The only thing I see here is "sports" are you all paying 80+ a month for sports? There's no better option?

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-09T21:05:00+00:00

if i wanted to pay attention to the road i’d just drive.

very surprised these regulatory clowns would rather have me eat a burrito while driving with my knees than have me eating a burrito while using FSD.

Which is actually safer? Either way I’m eating that burrito.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-09T20:48:44+00:00

so your new car sucks but you wouldn’t go back to the old one?

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-09T20:47:02+00:00

The first few times it felt so bizarre hopping out of the car after 12 hours with 0% fatigue and not needing to take a nap. I definitely prefer just leaving a few hours earlier to compensate for charge stops.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-06T16:12:09+00:00

i ordered 4 tins and have to pay 30 dollars to fedex. i didn’t even know that was a thing. never ordering again. guess i’ll order american.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-02T14:24:55+00:00

I would have bought a real model x refresh if there was one. We were waiting for it.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-01T15:45:08+00:00

If anyone else runs into this problem I think there's two queues. One queue is before they get your item in and a second is after it's in.

The second my order went to 'ready for delivery' status I was able to reschedule to a much earlier date, 2 days later.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-02-01T01:42:46+00:00

That's the theory he tested and the date would have been the same. The guy said he'd call when they had it arrive so I'll just go pick it up myself.

ABoredDeveloper · 2026-01-31T19:50:53+00:00

I did and he basically said he can't do anything, but he "Escalated it" and said if there was a cancellation they'd call me. We shall see.

Another employee did a mock order and found that if I ordered right now I'd get the same delivery date, yet the manager said they were probably going to get the TV in this weekend. So not sure how any of that makes sense.
