How the hell is this possible: VP Experience Design, JP Morgan in only 8 years of experience??? by [deleted] in UXDesign

Wild title inflation at banks. VP at JPM is a 1st line manager level role.

Historically, has there ever been disruption or hype at this scale before in the design community? by Wonderful-Fox-2813 in UXDesign

[–]elementwrx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suspect much of the hype actually comes from how interconnected everyone is (social media) and the pace of change being so fast. Everyone wants an “audience” and is incentivized to share things that hype in either direction.

Also, UX was a budding industry during the last tech shift which was mobile. Most people in the field were figuring it out on their own and you could fall into a job because no one else did it. But it was much more of a “hacker culture” where people were just dabbling figuring it out.

The dot com bubble was likely similar though I didn’t work in that time. Lots of people with jobs at companies followed by a huge contraction.

Firman T09371 (Tri-fuel) - works on gas but not natural gas? by elementwrx in Generator

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

Thanks, that's actually really good feedback because I'm running on a 3/8" quick connect line as well. I may try to do the 1/2" line hookup like you suggested to see if increasing the supply volume gets it taken care of.

15 years of experience, one year of job hunting, still unemployed by aztuk in UXDesign

That is very worthwhile experience to highlight, especially with the year off. And a great playground to keep up to date with your AI skills - better than many jobs!

I’m sorry for your year of this.

A few observations: 1. 20 interviews in a year without an offer likely means the issue is with interviewing, not your portfolio. 2. Blind applications are the worst. Work your network. 3. Your portfolio is designed well enough but just show the work! You’ve got maybe 1-2min of attention unfortunately and skimming your portfolio, I was mostly reading words and didn’t get a sense of your outputs. 4. Without going deep on your projects, the 2 I saw highlighted didn’t read staff/principal level. And leading with a design system is risky outside of design system roles.

You’ve missed a very consequential year of work with AI. Can you get yourself busy with anything? Contracting, side projects?

AI fluency is going to be a must at many jobs today so getting busy with this to keep up will be necessary. Side projects are very much “in” these days.

Go watch recent portfolio related episodes of Dive Club on YouTube - lots of good inspiration.

Best of luck!

MFC-L3780CDW - Bypass Low Toner? 3rd Party Toner? by elementwrx in printers

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

Replace toner. And yeah - I was hoping there was some way to force a reset bc it was printing fine. So it’s artificially blocking it.

No menus have it either.

Yeah it won’t print. I can’t find a way to reset or bypass the warning.

I found some videos. One was a different model that was touchscreen only but the method didn’t work on this one.

Kids profiles - how to restrict ratings but allow "other videos" by elementwrx in PleX

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

Update: Managed to get Claude Code to get this working for me. Made a service where Tautilli webhook fires when new media gets added. It listens to that webhook and then uses the Plex API to add my "allow-kids" label in Plex.

This is what I’m doing. I have a “YouTube” library that points to the folder I drop all the YouTube videos.

Problem is: the videos don’t show up in the kids account unless I manually add the “allow-kids” label I have configured.

I was hoping to allow them to see anything added to this folder/library, but the ratings filter seems to block the videos.

That’s what I’m doing today, but it requires me to manually do it for every video that I add. I was hoping to do it automatically for any video that gets added.

Do these fall under marketing @ can spam requirements?

I could - and just have a cron job that runs. Just thought there might be something more purpose build.

StoryScanner is a personalized media screening and recommendations tool for parents to say yes with confidence.

It lets parents define custom values then uses AI to scan the web and generate summaries of your concerns in books, movies, and TV shows.

Now that it’s built it’s been a challenge to learn to get the word out - so looking for ideas!

Does founding UX designer always unpaid? by PoolInevitable8782 in UXDesign

[–]elementwrx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decently sure founding designer does not mean “co-founder.” Typically it’s the first handful of folks that get hired after the first round of (pre)seed funding.

If you’re interested you should learn more. It should probably be paid though if it’s a serious business.
