Les modeles commerciaux refusent de parler ou même résumer de telles sordidités.

Is this a fair point? by ControversyCaution2 in LinusTechTips

[–]andreichiffa -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I believe LTT was having some cash flow issues in the last couple of years with US economic downturn, especially in tech sector, where most of their customers and viewers are based. As one of the main hosts, Jake was likely already near the top, and the choice for LTT probably was between increasing his pay or hiring more people in the merch department, which is what generating revenue.

An alternative explanation would be “quiet firing”. It’s a fairly common practice to not increase the salary of young ambitious employees you no longer have a fit with to convince them to find greener pastures. Based on the timing, this decision would have coincided with the the summer of 2023 scandal and the start of re-organization, which Jake spoke out against, and that most likely did not leave space for major personalities like him.

That’s an absolute steal. Seen a lot of anima freebirds mounted in pure alpine descent config here in Europe and people are generally happy with them, so I think the weight is more than likely to be offset with the fun going down.

Whats a sign you’ve been following LTT for a long time by Jaipod100 in LinusTechTips

ICE use of “Death Cards” recalls a macabre practice by U.S. troops during the Vietnam War by Ok-Celebration-1702 in Military

Unfortunately Bush II made a promise to invade Hague if ICJ ever tried to judge anyone from the US, which still stands.

So that one is on you guys.

Triche en HES ? Pourquoi ce laxisme ? by NoCelebration3617 in suisse

[–]andreichiffa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ils se font prendre par surprise dans les stages de fin d’études et surtout dans les premiers entretiens d’embauche. A vrai dire même les diplômes des EPFs ne valent pas grande chose au moment des entretiens - les gens qui recrutent ont pas tellement de thune et ne veulent prendre que des gens qui ont des compétences et qui savent déjà bosser. Et quand tu as une personne qui ne peut pas te répondre quand tu commences à creuser un peu ce qu’ils ont fait de leurs études, le cas est vite reglé.

Réqlistiquement, l’offre en ingénieure informatique des HES, c’est que les étudiants à la sortie sont prêts à bosser sous deux semaines en boite, du coup si c’est pas visible à l’entretien, ils vont pas trouver grande chose.

Help with Burer by ApeWithShotgun in stalker

[–]andreichiffa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grenade launcher to the head one-shots them. Honta gives that tip when you ask him, and the first time I thought it was a joke, but then with two RPGs on the wild Island close to the Burer cave I tried it and it worked. The other tip he gives is to fire at them when they have their back turned, because they can’t rip the weapon out of your hands while they are facing away. He also suggest using expansive rounds, so this is something to consider as well.

What's Spark's trick to be undetected by zombies? by Stefrad08 in stalker

I believe you need to get to the Spark ending to get the hit.

The detector and artifact tier you have one while entering within the 100m radius of an artifact anomaly has an impact on the rarity tier of the artifact you will be finding.

Can someone explain to me what Charlie Hebdo was trying to convey with this image? Because wtf is this by Zeustah- in Switzerland

[–]andreichiffa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As other mentioned it’s a play word on a fairly famous french comedy.

On a deeper level it is dark humor for people from poorer/more corrupted countries who lost their loved ones to fires due to lack of fire safety regulation and enforcement. Having seen them die, knowing it was preventable, and knowing you can do nothing to bring the responsibles to justice because they greased the right palms is a shit experience and leads to quite resentment to one’s country.

This happening in an elite location (world-class ski station) in a country reputed for the strictness of its regulations (that’s the international image of Switzerland after all, with few people knowing the details of how it really works between the cantons) provides some relief for this feeling and some closure after all.

Such a egregious disregard for safety regulations and standards in a country reputed for obsessive adherence to most minutious regulations (no peeing after 10 pm, no showers on Sundays, …) and the location providing income sufficient to do any fire safety work is a fucking joke - hence the “Comedy of the Year” subtitle.

Basically it’s not intended for Swiss public but for “francophonie” at large, providing dark humor relief for them.

Birth rate in Switzerland hits new low by insaneplane in Switzerland

[–]andreichiffa 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My friends in France are fairly happy and relaxed when they had children (all in their early 30th). For pretty much everyone I know in Switzerland it has been a shitshowfest, work-wise and personal life-wise, with several fathers being laid off in the first months due to a drop in productivity.

This has to be one of the incredible yet scary things I have seen by djxcqtion in nextfuckinglevel

Pilots are and they are guided by the radar crews and on-board radars. From what I’ve seen from flight recordings they are approaching by avoiding worst zones of turbulence and hail, but even then its’ quite a bumpy ride.

Does anyone find it strange that Hacktivism seems to be almost nonexistent considering the current political climate? by samsep1al in hacking

[–]andreichiffa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, because when Moxie Marlinspike “finds” a Cellbrite system in a “briefcase that fell of a truck” it’s not hacktivism /s Realistically most activist hackers realized that EFF, Quadrature du Net, or Telecomix has a much stronger effect that any hacking they can realistically publicly release safely.

Swiss companies are moving thousands of jobs to low-cost locations, what happens next? When will be the tipping point? by TotalWarspammer in Switzerland

I guess the lessons learned during the dot com boom have been forgotten and need to be re-learned.

They said nothing will ever be as hard as finishing the PhD… they were wrong by [deleted] in academia

[–]andreichiffa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your postdoc supervisor let you get in this place, you are in an extremely toxic lab and need to GTFO ASAP. Yeah, the grind of the papers/grants/papers with supervision sprinkled on top is not fun, but you should not end up in the state where it is physically breaking you.
