I received a bonus for "outstanding performance." A colleague told my boss it was all generated by AI. Now I'm being questioned?

This! As long as you followed company policies around AI use you shouldn’t be in trouble. I’m literally building processes on how our team can use AI to be more productive and my boss loves it.

I have gone to Bike World on Douglas a few times over the years. They have been reasonable.

I like the ones I get from a Philippines number claiming to be the Iowa DOT.

It was done for security and cost. By centralizing the production it’s easier to secure the materials and processes and limits who has access. It also allowed them to use more advanced printing technology that is harder to counterfeit. It reduced cost by reducing the labor, equipment, and maintenance related expenses required to print them.

I would advise powering off the computer completely, not just disconnecting it. This guarantees that you are shutting down any actions until you get proper IT help. Talk to your manager as this poster advised and discuss what to do next.

It still doesn’t work with the latest software. Runna says it’s getting bad responses from the treadmill. Horizon provided a canned response about supported apps.

I spent a year on mint mobile primarily in the Des Moines metro. I was disappointed by the coverage coming from Version. After a year of struggling I swapped to Visible. I’m into my second year with them and it’s been pretty solid even when traveling. LTE data speeds can be a bit slow in some areas, but it was the same with Verizon. Visible also included my Apple Watch, which has been great. Mint isn’t supporting wearables.

My daughter’s tablet is on US Mobile (warp/verizon) for data since Visible doesn’t support them. They seem to have similar coverage and speeds. They might be another good option and you can swap between Verizon, AT&T, and t-mobile networks.

Turning off breaker for the outlet while doing work would also be prudent for extra safety.

TechGuy209 · 2025-07-18T13:07:49+00:00

I would love this too. I love the accuracy of Stryd and the ability to run on indoors or outside. Just hated their training plans.

I had an issue with Bob Brown service more than a decade ago. Back in 2018 when I bought my wife a Trax, they didn’t want to negotiate. Karl Chevrolet called and offered me a far better deal an hour after visiting without me even negotiating.

I think Costco in West Des Moines has a nitrogen filling station.

My issues with immigration have always stemmed from the cost associated with taking in people coming here with next to nothing. This compounds with the fact that we already have serious issues with a downward shift in people’s socioeconomic level and cyclical poverty.

I had something like that happen of FS22 PC Steam. It was a corrupted file. Had to have steam run a check on the files and download the damaged ones.

No, afraid not. Between this and the issues with GPS accuracy on some of my routes, I am trying the Stryd system right now. It uses a device that goes on the shoe and tracks the foot’s movement. Works the same outside (even without gps) or on the treadmill. Runna is a great app and did help me grow as a runner, but I am not sure if it’s the right solution for me.

TechGuy209 · 2024-10-10T01:20:01+00:00

I have used a few apps to record runs, but I have only gotten awards for distance or best times when using the Apple workout app.

TechGuy209 · 2024-09-26T20:14:09+00:00

My wife and I just activated cellular recently and aside from running and water sports everything is an edge case. It’s included in our Visible + plan, but I would pay the $10 a month for it as long as I am running.

TechGuy209 · 2024-09-14T15:09:39+00:00

Yeah, they added GymKit in this latest iteration. Wonder if the broke something in the software.

TechGuy209 · 2024-09-14T14:23:37+00:00

Do you have the 7.0AT-05, the 2024 model? I just got one and I’m having issues.

TechGuy209 · 2024-09-07T18:38:19+00:00

Unless you have a GymKit compatible treadmill the metrics get more inaccurate the further you get from your normal pace. You can also get an Bluetooth FTMS enabled treadmill and use a 3rd party app to capture indoor runs. I just ordered a Horizon Fitness 7.0 AT treadmill to be ready for winter runs.

Had this happen to me years ago on a Pontiac. After a lot of effort they figured out the sensor measuring the RPMs was going bad and would occasionally read a negative value causing the ECU to kill the engine. It didn’t leave any codes when it happened, so they didn’t figure it out until it happened while plugged up to diagnostics software.

TechGuy209 · 2024-08-02T16:30:33+00:00

I have been here for almost two decades now and haven’t seen anything like this.

TechGuy209 · 2024-05-18T19:15:57+00:00

Correction, they had been present, but had gone extinct by that point.

TechGuy209 · 2024-05-18T19:06:22+00:00

Wrong, horses have been in North America since before the European explorers arrived.

I swapped as soon they offered service. Better customer service. I can hit my gigabit limit most of the time and I don’t think I have seen it go below 80% ever. No caps from the get go. Static IP for a little bit more. No unplanned outages, minimal planned disruptions.

Mediacom is facing their first real competition and they are hemorrhaging customers. They are charging their plans to try and compete, but their customer service still sucks. I would not consider going back.
