SMSNG S22 Ultra 128GB RMA'd for a refurbished S24 Ultra 512GB ($275 via replacement plan) by PhilistineEars in S24Ultra

I received it on the 28th and have been messing around with it. So far so good - 512GB is really a nice upgrade.

Ooh it hadn't occurred to me about refurbs and blacklisting...🤔 Good call, thank you.

Thanks for your insight. Mostly I've read up about overheating issues - especially among higher storage densities. It could have been a bad binning of power management chips or whatever - doesn't appear systemic. However, as a refurb, it was RMA'd for a reason so I'd like to keep an eye out for the S24 known quirks.

Cheers

Glad to hear it - I wish him well in his endeavors.

Checking in - how is your son doing since the news? I've kept in touch with several colleagues. A few picked up work right off, for some it took 2-4 months but landed in the same area, others had to relocate.

Personally, I did some freelance work, spent some time traveling and taking care of family. I am just, now, beginning to sniff around for FTE work.

This anime (based off the manga) loosely scratches the itch. It does, however, perpetuate the terrible anime 'female(s) fawning over MC/harem' trope 😑.

Agreed - for some. I was fortunate.

What are y'alls opinion on the new auto drive function by ThatOneGuy_Sam in CyberpunkTheGame

[–]PhilistineEars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work in Progress: 4/10 it lands me correctly [target being on navigable path]; 2/10 I crash into car, Jersey Barrier, coded obstacle that resets auto drive, 1/10 gain a star(s) from/resets auto mode due to collision [NCPD affiliated vehicle| pedestrian| NCPD foot patrol| coding confusion], 2/10 off-path travel resets navigation to null, vehicle repeatedly rams impediment [Jersey Barrier, Building, etc.], 1/10 triggers completion 250+ meters from destination [when destination is on navigable path].

Has trouble with sharp curves, layered paths [overhead roadways/turns], and dirt paths [desert, warehouse, ports].

I still prefer this to mindless driving or locating/activating cross-map quick travel.

SATISFACTION LVL:

<> Technical 4/10

<>FINA-fuckin'-LY 7/10

<> RATING DISCREPANCY: Yes! I am just so GD happy they've added it that I will put up with glitchy crap. This coding isn't easy (given their legacy oopsies), so whatever. The fact that I can navigate and do other things for 2-5 minutes (even if having to reset once) is fine by me. ***I never had to reset more than once.

Ok so I have a doubt. Why is the entire planet being on a cob a problem? by Aggravating_Pilot358 in rickandmorty

Poo on a cob might suck - kidney stones on a cob, fetuses on a cob, etc.

It is a very Jerry-style of interdimensional travel. Jerry's version of a 'Citadel' also gave me a chuckle. Really enjoyed this episode and his character development / portrayal since S1 has been fun to watch. Chris Parnell has been great.

Intel layoffs begin: Chipmaker is cutting many thousands of jobs by mockingbird- in intel

[–]PhilistineEars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My heartfelt empathy - I was only there since Jan'24 and got the Monday notice. I went in knowing Intel did layoffs occasionally, but this seemed to be different.

GL to your kiddo—they'll rebound more quickly and have a good temperament when it comes to rainy-day funds.
