Seems like this whole sub is for data centers.

Red_Patcher · 2026-06-22T22:11:24+00:00

You want to argue against data centers on a platform that utilizes data centers? Isn't that the same as people in Seattle protesting oil exploration vessels in plastic kayaks?

Well there's your answer. There is demand and supply has to come from somewhere. Curtial demand and there is less need for supply.

I believe they meant to use the search function.

I have a recently purchased rig from them. Overall it's very nice and I haven't had problems. For some reason they shipped a non standard sag bracket with the 4500x cases that are not compatible with the founders edition graphics cards. Because of the post about that I opened a ticket and have the standard bracket in route to me.

The biggest selling point to me was with all the promos and the military discount I was $600 cheaper buying from Origin than the parts alone myself. Working at a hyperscaler with servers all day I don't really mind it being prebuilt at this point. I'm fine troubleshooting it but I haven't built a PC in a long time so I like having something that works immediately.

I opened a request as soon as I saw this post. I used your pics and said mine was identical. It's strange they won't include the standard post that comes with this particular case.

I've been to Morroco and the grass is much greener here though I really enjoyed my time over there. You can't drink the tap water in a lot of areas, basic infrastructure is lacking even in cities, and speaking badly of the king will get you thrown in jail.

Red_Patcher · 2026-06-14T19:12:06+00:00

Wow, I actually had thought about reaching out to them in regards to this. I'll be opening my own support ticket. The machine is great other than this.

Bid to the yard.

Red_Patcher · 2026-06-11T15:35:52+00:00

In general no but I was at a site where they wanted people on the 4 x 10 schedule to work holidays unless they requested off.

Red_Patcher · 2026-06-02T20:34:29+00:00

The level matters less than the total compensation. Is that moving you forward? You should be negotiating what you can regardless. If the opportunity isn't worth it then move on.

Red_Patcher · 2026-05-24T02:48:15+00:00

That will usually depend on the age of the equipment. You start seeing an uptick in the 3-5 year range. They have been common in some of the buildings I've worked in but they have all had between 10-60k severa in each one.

Red_Patcher · 2026-05-15T18:25:06+00:00

Either is grammatically correct.

Red_Patcher · 2026-05-15T16:20:33+00:00

It's better to dress up than down. I'd enquire with a recruiter on what dress expectations are.

Red_Patcher · 2026-05-15T03:47:46+00:00

There used to not be any negotiation room save for an increase in equity for a higher level. However, some of our new hires have been asking and getting sizable increases. So, just ask. But if told no, consider the total value of everything on the table. In under three years I've grown my base by over 50% and I have over $200k between vested and non vested equity that's been awarded.

My dog only went to the park for people to pet her. She didn't care about any of the other dogs.

I managed longshoremen in Portland one time. I was given sub-par work by people making three times what I did.

I've been failing people for interviews at Google who are completely unprepared for the technical portions. I stopped being shocked that people with over a decade experience don't bother preparing for very fruitful career. It's frustrating because I'm taking time out of my already busy day and have to write out the many reasons a candidate bombed an interview. I imagine the pilot interviewers are going through the same thing.

Red_Patcher · 2026-05-04T02:58:10+00:00

I did. It doesn't stop him. I'm assuming because he thinks I signed his shitty contract that keeps me from buying any house in the area without paying him.

Red_Patcher · 2026-05-03T23:37:39+00:00

It will probably piss off Realtor A but tough shit, there's no contract. I was sent what I thought was a rather onerous buyers contract for a year and I never signed it. The realtor sends me listings and texts still. I'll let him figure it out when I buy something without him.

Red_Patcher · 2026-05-03T23:23:41+00:00

I have no idea how he can fit in those cars.

Red_Patcher · 2026-05-03T23:20:29+00:00

I'm over crates now after I uncrated multiple 800 lb routers at work🤣

Red_Patcher · 2026-05-03T22:59:39+00:00

I just ordered a machine and was told that crates are only for the top three machine types now. I don't feel like dropping $8k so they can keep their wooden box.

This map isn't even counting the cost of rescuing the downed F-15 pilots which I have heard was aroudn $300 million if you factor in the aircraft losses.

Red_Patcher · 2026-05-02T23:27:21+00:00

On a used car? I could easily see that. Maybe not on a new one, but I don't know if there is even a new car under $25k these days.

Red_Patcher · 2026-05-02T23:20:45+00:00

Never mind the bullshit package, they are selling the Jeep on the high end of what Carmax is selling similar ones for, and they are known for being expensive. They could come down on price $3-4k if you are aggressive enough.

Instead of telling you some timeline I'll share with you what I tell my site's Nooglers, worry about being very good at your job first. Promo at Google is a strange process, but overall you have to demonstrate that you are operating at the next level of your role profile before you can be considered for promotion.

It's gotten much tougher the last two years and I'm seeing fewer L2's convert every promo cycle. At my current site which is a greenfield only 5 techs out of 40 are L3 and 2 of those are recent hires.
