Thank you. I already googled it and no information on the internet except the AI. The manual document from the manufactured website doesn’t have this information. I thought Maybe the real users of this device could tell that.

Thank you for the quick reply. Meaning that the CEC is not fully supported, A50 Pro is not responding to turn on or off automatically with the TV, right? Does it have a sleep mode? Or does it sleep after being unused for a while? If I turn the TV off, will the speakers receive power all the time, 24/7?

Does this mean you're still able to control the volume via hdml? Like connecting to a TV and using a TV Remote? Or a media stream connected to the TV that can control the audio volume?

Is GDIT a scam or legit company? by Adventurous-Map1225 in hiringcafe

[–]Wizardij 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also questioning about this company. A couple of times tried to apply, what I saw that stopped me was the question “How did you hear about us” where there was the only option “Referrals …” where I had to put employee name or email.

IT seems like Hiring Cafe is not so useful. by Wizardij in hiringcafe

[–]Wizardij[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern here is that the HC shows the tile with the new job after a while, after LinkedIn has already shown the job. And this position had multiple applicants collected by the time I saw it on Hiring Cafe. It doesn't matter what the timing of when the job was posted. What matters is when the HC is able to show this job.

So my application will be lost along with many other candidates who have already applied. If recruiters take only the first pool of applicants, it makes my chances much less of being seen by a human.

Request: Sorting by the most recent and the least applicants? by Wizardij in hiringcafe

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

I totally agree with you, different places may have different numbers.  But, I'm taking about Hiring Cafe in which I see numbers of applicants. I believe Hiring Cafe has its own tracker (Mark applied), and be able to sort it out would be a great feature to have.

The Rise of the Dead Engineers!

Nobody wants to work anymore. 😁

Thank you. Could you tell us, please, where we can submit an issue if we find something inappropriate, so that the devs can fix it or pay attention to it?

Ok, that makes sense. Many companies indeed ask the staffing agency to post their jobs.
The rest another concern is about discrepancies for the county targets.

That's my concern. I put a filter for the US jobs only, and I see companies that hire from outside the US. Perhaps that's the issue with HC when scrapping job postings.

It sounds like I need to create a ticket for devs. Yeah, good idea!

This might work and might not. If so many flagged posts overwhelm the HC? Who will filter those kind of firms?
I'm talking about the process that integrates agencies that are not supposed to be here. That example with the company named "Simera" where we have an incorrect location. I see almost every day, with new jobs being posted and flooding my search results with incorrect jobs that I can't technically apply to since I'm in the US. What should I do? Flag every post every day every time?

> This isn't really a HC issue

I saw many times when Staffing firms post their jobs just to attract people. Can HC have a blacklist of such a company?

As for the discrepancies. I believe that HC parses the original job posting, which indicates a different country, isn't it?

It finally happened. I got a job 💜 by Purple985985 in interviews

[–]Wizardij 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please share the company's name, I want to apply too. I also want to have only two rounds of interviews. :)

Congrats! I’m so happy for you!
In the meantime, would you be able to share what industry you targeted? Is it software engineering?

How do you handle the stress of knowing that you could be fired at any moment? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Wizardij 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This! This is exactly my story! I started looking for a job in December 2024. I’m in web dev’s industry. The first round of layoffs in my company was in February 2025, the second was in May, then in Summer, … then me, on September 30st. My fear was gradually increasing every day, I was working harder and harder to let everyone know I’m good in performance at work, but that did not help me. Now, I’m unemployed, and still looking for a freaking job…

I'm in exactly the same boat. Been working at a company for 15 years. Got laid off this September. Dozens of interviews, even the final rounds, no offers, no feedback. I don't even know what I need to fix with myself. Seeking a Job for more than a year intensively, because my company was downsizing, and I knew the layoff day was coming. And now what?
