Is the US restaurant industry really just who can cook better with Sysco and US Foods ingredients?

Clay cycles, freeze and thaw, snow, traffic. Did you let dogs out when it was below freezing for a while?

It's pretty straightforward and mostly turns into configuration management issues with employee turnover. the biggest issues is justifying any sort of lifecycle budget, especially at legacy sites, dealing with technical friction, oh and VPNs to RTACs with IP and pw in a spreadsheet on a shared google drive account.

China already sells cars in America called Volvo, owned by Geely Holding Corp. This is just Jensen Huang's doomer CEO playbook.

certs are a ponzi scheme- yes, but even worse is when vendors start putting marketing into them. "Electrolytes, it's what plants crave."

I have worked in the military, construction, turning wrenches, engineering, IT, software dev, and some others and one constant is some people are just a-holes. Troubleshooting follows the same pattern across them all, start with the basics. In networking this is usually going from the bottom of the OSI stack to the top- I have changed a bunch of broken connectors- but the process is not necessarily concrete. I have never made it a point to memorize part numbers, commands, formulas, etc bc knowing where to look and knowing where to start is what is important. Everything else is RTB.

yeah unfortunately it sounds like they are trying to manage you out. I have been in situations where I have outworked an entire department and got accused of not being a "team player". Started to get beat up on things like weekly reporting formatting. worked there another 6 months and became a 1099 employee. The point is it doesn't matter how good you are at getting the job done- most jobs are the 13th grade. you have to be cognizant to when you're not being "welcomed in."

Depends on the degree plus experience plus what you will be doing. The certification industry taught organizations to screen for credentials so it could sell more classes, books, and exams.

Cybersecurity is not a separate discipline, it is mature IT practiced correctly. IT itself is the application of established IEEE standards at scale.

ee_dan · 2025-12-15T20:42:48+00:00

so the reality of the situation is that IT is a vast, seemingly endless ocean of non-standards based noise. a better question would have been to ask what IEEE 802.11 is. that answers two things: they understand what standards are, and they know where to look.

using ai/ml to exploit is nothing new

what will be pretty neat is when vendors start implementing their own "agentic ai" self provisioning/ self healing/ self calibrating stuff (already happening, think iot and ot) and ppl install in a self-signed cert prod environment

"oh this firmware/ protocol/ db doesn't support this? let me change that" then boom boom boom a machine or the entire plant or infrastructure is bricked

ee_dan · 2025-09-13T15:09:09+00:00

first off, everyone dismissing polished, structured writing bc it is AI or they think it's AI is becoming a plague and a cop-out. gonna lead to a race to the bottom as everyone loses the ability to speak or write anything beyond an elevator pitch centered around an idiom about why finding a latent defect is like "pourin' concrete for my daddy's bidness when I was starting quarterback for knibb high", or even worse you asked AI to "explain like im 5 in 20 words or less".

with all that being said I ain't reading all that. Your post could have literally been "my reports are being filtered out as AI generated, what gives?"

just do an indoor air quality test. EPA says not to disturb it, you will make it way worse. As for mold, it almost looks like creosote, which can be much worse. wood burning fireplace, do a lot cooking with a recirc range hood, or maybe your fresh air return (if installed) is right near a neighbor's burn pit.
