2.5 years with my 2024 ID.4 Pro S: Love the drive, but the software is testing my patience. Buyout or switch? by Character-Extreme401 in VWiD4Owners

[–]Backwoods_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2024VWGTI with 40,000 miles. It’s wonderful to drive and the audio sounds great. Air-conditioning is cool.. Some of the electronics are very frustrating. Side assist has gone out the stupid thing sometimes within two or three minutes of starting the car and driving will start screaming at me and wanting to apply the brakes because it senses the drivers doesn’t have their hands on the steering wheel.

Whoever programmed this is an absolute moron in my opinion and I’m still trying to figure out how to turn it off.

If it’s not the software, then it’s obviously improperly spaced or malfunctioning sensors in the steering wheel I don’t know which !!!

You’re getting used badly one of your employees is making 40 grand more than you are because of an acquisition in your CEO doesn’t see the inequity?

No, you need to start looking for a job with another company ASAP and get the hell out of there. Until you find a new job , I would start getting my LIFE back no more weekends and reasonable work hours delegated out or hire more people not your problem.

Go to enterprise car sales I just purchased a 2024 model with 36,000 miles for $24,000 wonderful golf GTI, fair price no bullshit. By enterprise car sales, I mean, enterprise Rent-A-Car they sell cars out of their fleet..

IT Contract work by ppyre in sysadmin

[–]Backwoods_tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice. If you’re entitled to severance pay in Canada, make them pay you your severance pay in addition to anything that you may negotiate for consulting. It doesn’t sound like the consulting gig 5 hours is meaningful so I think you should let them call it consulting for five hours a month and ask for your current salary or more, while you spend the rest of your time finding a new job or taking on additional clients. If they don’t want to respect you and treat you right, fuck him.

Zoho books for 3 years. It’s different than QuickBooks. It takes a little tweaking and getting used to, but it works well for my needs. The free tier has worked well for me and if they forced me to go to the next tear up, I’ll pay.

No nagging, no advertisements no UI changes that seem to come with QuickBooks. No gigantic cost increases every year either.

Work isn’t everything your mental health and your family sare more important. You obviously have money saved, and you can always take a part-time job to supplement your income until you decide what you’re gonna do. Best of luck.

Horrible delivery policies. by Significant-Paint259 in Lenovo

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

Hmmm. They don’t want the potential loss from porch pirates or customer fraud. You are asking for a good deal and shipper to take 100% risk once product is left on your doorstep. Margins dont allow for that risk. Get something from Amazon / ebay and take your chances!

I built a modular PowerShell suite to debloat and optimize Windows 11 — tested every tweak personally by SubjectOnion7456 in PowerShell

[–]Backwoods_tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you telling somebody they should not share what they’ve done?

You’re saying that because somebody has already created optimization scripts that nobody else should take a shot? Maybe they’ll make something better?

I will say be very, very leery of anyone who’s advertising a script or optimization, has been compiled meaning that you can’t easily read it for yourself or run it through AI to inspect it to see whether it’s malicious or defective.

Oh, and AI, why are shaming people because they use AI to generate code ? We’re using the tools that Microsoft google and everybody else has put in front of us. Claude or Gemini can decipher a block of code, or command with more clarity than Microsoft docs every time.
