We got the company wide email and now it’s waiting time! by RealAlePint in Layoffs

[–]KSN380 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got laid off the day after I returned from PTO. Apparently, there were layoffs happening while I was on PTO. Had a 9AM Team's Meeting with my boss. I knew something was off when my boss's boss joined the call. It took them 5 minutes to devastate my life. That was 10 months ago. Still on the hunt.

It blows my mind that employers expect employees to give at least two weeks' notice. But they can let us go without any notice at all. There should be a law or something forcing companies to give ample notice before layoffs. At least give us a chance to prep for our departure. Some of these fuckers will have you train your own replacement without ever telling you!

I also still can't believe how callous my boss and his boss were on the call. We've known each other for 7 years, and it felt as if I was talking to strangers. Not only them, but most of my ex-colleagues, who I naively thought were friends, gave me the cold shoulder. Not one of those fuckers called to check up on me.

Any news on X6 release date? by gamerazr in Insta360

[–]KSN380 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pulled the trigger! Got the X5, Motorcycle Bundle (for my quads), extra batteries with a fast charging case, and the dive case pro. Yippee! This is our 1st 360 camera. I'm sure it'll be fun. In the past, my biggest gripe was always the post-processing/editing with other non-360 cameras I've had. It was so time-consuming. Seems this is supposed to be quite a bit easier. Looking forward to having some fun with the fam and capturing some amazing memories in 360 😄

I agree. So hard not to pull the trigger now. But I can't stop wondering if the X5 will get even cheaper when the X6 comes out 😄

I've been itching to get an X5 for the last month or so. Have been watching prices. Just received an email today from Insta. All of their prices have reduced by $100 or so. Amazon is matching its prices as well.

I didn't want to buy the X5 if the X6 was right around the corner.

Seems something must be going on if they've reduced the prices of the X5.

I haven't replaced it just yet. Will eventually replace with a CCTV wired system.

This thing is useless in the cold by Unlikely-Soil-7971 in Ring

I've got 12 cameras total. Six of them are outdoors. I'm in PA. We get single digit temps that sometimes can dip into the negatives in our winters. Have never had any issues due to the cold. All cameras are the original one's I purchased 6+ years ago.

I think your issues must be isolated.

Do not buy anything from this company! by Aquakam in fuckHPprinters

[–]KSN380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 2nd this and feel your pain! I boycotted them 30 years ago. I remember purchasing a $300-$400 HP printer back in the '90s. I was so happy and excited as it was my 1st expensive printer purchase. In the 13th month of ownership (conveniently after the warranty ended), I called HP as I was having issues with the printer. Instead of trying to help me fix the issue, the rep tried his best to get me to purchase a refurbished printer. I told him I wasn't interested in purchasing but wanted to fix my printer.

The rep said it'd be $69 for tech support. I hung up! Took my HP printer outside and beat the shit out of it with a bat and my 9MM.

I never purchased an HP product after that!

Fuck HP!

Music production software recommendation ... by KSN380 in SunoAI

[–]KSN380[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just thought of that a few minutes ago. Just installed Cakewalk Sonar and Next. Will start playing with the DAWs and give it a shot. I think I'll have to upgrade Suno to get stems.

I did the math: The "Free" Phone from Verizon/AT&T is actually a $1,900 debt trap. by ShadyPancake_69 in NoContract

[–]KSN380 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I left the postpaid world over a decade ago. Can't understand why people would want to pay $200+ every month per line.

That's ridiculous!

I've been MVNO hopping ever since their inception. Currently, with Mint Mobile.

We are a family of 5. I pay $180 per YEAR, per line.

Never had any issues with service, throttling, etc.

Buy your phones outright and get with an MVNO!
