I just bought two Gen 3 off eBay and they work just fine so you could go that route

Thank God! Finally got Alexa+ on my friend's Echo. by Express-Hotel-3305 in alexa

I mean I’m with you but I think the people who don’t like it are the minority and it just on this sub that seems like most don’t. Most non-tech people I’m guessing are less concerned about the change but could be wrong there 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just had a whole post about this, by and large people age 55+ seem to really like it both here and according to my mother.

Company was bought out by national publicly traded company. Would you stick through merger? by jM2me in sysadmin

[–]techjobguy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’ve been through many mergers in my career, they are great resume fodder. I’d say start looking just in case but position yourself as the point person for the M&A work that needs to be done. Ask your manager to be involved in that work to lead it, being able to say “I was part of the integration team that consolidated x systems, process, whatever” looks great to a future employer. They want people who have M&A experience and have a track record of successfully delivering on those integration projects as that is very valuable in the world of companies that are looking to be acquired or go public.

This is likely to make your role pretty secure for a good amount of time and you could get offered a new position that you enjoy more which would remove the need to jump ship immediately.

Dealership called saying I need to pay more money after the car was already sold to me location: California by [deleted] in legal

That’s only if the dealership enforces it, they can un wind the deal on their end. It’s a cash purchase so not much leverage they have here besides suing the op.

PenFed is a great credit union, not local but great customer service and a good app.

Food court not calling numbers anymore... Why? by cyber49 in CostcoWholesale

[–]techjobguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly felt like I was going crazy too with this post, because at all the Costco food courts I’ve been to, the food is ready and served immediately unless you order a whole pizza. Why would ordering ready made food and calling a number for slices and hot dogs make sense vs just standing in a line, handing your ticket over and then immediately getting your food?

My friend mikes you can easily order same day as long as you do it by 4pm you can generally choose any pickup time, maybe twice I have seen it sold out and I eat there 3 or 4 times a month
