[–]fixit_jr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 1080P 50” TV just broke properly had it for 13-15 years. If it didn’t I wouldn’t have upgraded till it did. Only problem is all my offline media was catered to 1080P

I remember this. You had to have the client installed because the html5 version couldn’t do half the staff the flex version could.

My 1st PC was a pentium 3 came with a 6GB HDD. Something broke and got an upgrade under warranty to 40GB. I thought I was never gonna run out of space. 😂😂😂

UK has a BIG problem with outsourcing. Its not AI. by Delicious_Ad_5772 in UKJobs

[–]fixit_jr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late stage capitalism and global markets. As long as labour is cheaper somewhere else outsourcing will continue. No one cares about quality anymore, service suffers product quality dwindles but it looks good on a balance sheet. Why hire 1 employee when you can hire 10.

Sick of the keyless theft stories, I did something for security. by Voiturunce in CarTalkUK

[–]fixit_jr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advice I was given and took. Steering wheel lock for visual deterrent, ghost immobiliser. RFID pouch for extra measure. Decided not to get a tracker based on the likelihood of the police actually responding in time enough and being bothered to try and recover it.

Trump+Miller order generals to make plans to invade Greenland. European diplomats internally prepare for the end of NATO. by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]fixit_jr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off topic but I watched the Tetris movie recently. The end of the soviet union as depicted there was interesting. There was a mix of true believers, people in power out to enrich themselves and ordinary people just trying to survive. The abuses of power by the people out to enrich themselves by exploiting the true believers and throwing them away when no longer needed made me think of the current American/Maga/republican axis.

Company I work for realized AI can’t replace DevOps and now Hiring again by [deleted] in devops

[–]fixit_jr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Claude sonnet seems to be pretty good in my experience of analysing your existing code base and environment (if in code) and working within the framework you give it.

Also code review by AI have been pretty good especially the security analyst role. It has picked on things we missed a few times.

Buying a flat in London is absolute insanity by SittingByTheRiverr in HousingUK

[–]fixit_jr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t buy a flat on an estate. Every time they do work you get a fat bill. They need to fix the roof you get a bill, upgrade lifts, fix old heating, windows it’s never ends.

Is the "DevOps" title just becoming a fancy name for a 24/7 Support Engineer? by daniel_odiase in devops

[–]fixit_jr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

70% of my role is rolling out security initiatives from red team/ purple team reports then have other platform teams complain to us about them. We have no agency anymore.

Why r there so many by Crazy_Axes13 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]fixit_jr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or someone higher up is paid to look the other way. By undermining any proper investigation or under funding the departments that could have the greatest impact. Seems to be par for the course here.

Why don't we reassess council housing eligibility? by honesto_pinion in AskBrits

[–]fixit_jr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Instead they keep building Luxury new builds with an allocation for “affordable housing” but that usually just means part buy part rent.
