    HR should be outside the reporting structure for the rest of the company, and they need a concrete code of conduct to enforce. Having a co-owner of the company or anyone's boss pull double duty as HR is a potential conflict of interest. Without a written code of conduct that's available to everyone and universally enforced, conflict resolution is purely up to HR's judgement. Nobody is perfectly objective, and those judgements can be taken personally (especially if some are "more equal" than others).
     
    Without them, it's easy for a company like this to fall into a "frat club" atmosphere.  During rapid expansion, it's also possible for early hires to form a tight-knit  "in-group" who's buddy-buddy with the founder, and everyone who comes in later is an "out-group" who feels pressured to go along with whatever the in-group decides. (Not saying that's exactly what happened at LMG, but it's an easy pit to fall into.)

    if you rewatch the video, it's the oposite, he starts by explaining what prompted his dumb emotional response on the forum, he tried to minimize the complaint from Billet Labs saying "it only took 2 business days and Colton tried to do it(and failed miserably) on the 10th, way before any of this blew up" and THEN he starts by admitting he's getting emotional again, stops and apologizes for both the dumb response, for allowing the internet rage to cloud his judgement and emotions  and essentially stopping him from accepting any fair criticism from GN and for not re-reviewing the monoblock again. Also he proceeds to explain what he will be doing during the week they'll be off.
     
    I feel like people, when watching the video, get so mad as soon as Linus shows up that they don't even hear him or as soon as they hear any of the stupid jokes.

    gergy008 reacted to tkitch in I'm at a loss with this issue... (Packet loss)   
    What you want to do, is simply do some ping testing to see where the loss is happening:
     
    open several command windows:
     
    Window 1:  Tracert 8.8.8.8
     

     
    Window 1:  Ping -t  <routerIP>
     
    Window 2:  Ping -t  <TraceRT Hop 1 IP>  (Outside of your modem)
     
    Window 3:  Ping -t <IP of hop 3 or 4>  (This should be on your ISP's network still)
     
    Window 4:  Ping -t 8.8.8.8  (Google DNS Server, or any other internet IP)
     
    Then figure out which is the earliest one that is dropping packets:
     
    If window 1 loses the packets:  Then it's either your PC or the router choking.  Try another NIC on your PC (add a PCIE one) or replace the router
     
    If window 2 loses the packet:  The modem is most likely going flaky.
     
    If window 3 loses packets:  It's the ISP's network

    Window 4 is almost guaranteed to lose packets.

    Hi everyone, thanks for your help and guidance in advance for this.   The issue   This is an issue I've been battling with ever since I built my new PC and still have absolutely no idea what's causing my issues. I built my PC early 2021, and specifically waited for my motherboard to be available so I could pay more and experience less issues. Essentially - I'm getting extreme packet loss over any network interface that no other device in my house has any issues with. I even moved address completely at one point, using a different ISP and I'm still experiencing extreme lag episodes and packet loss so I know now it's my PC. It doesn't always happen - it happens for a small period then it's absolutely fine again.     C:\WINDOWS\system32>ping www.google.co.uk -t Pinging www.google.co.uk [142.250.180.3] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 142.250.180.3: bytes=32 time=21ms TTL=115 Reply from 142.250.180.3: bytes=32 time=22ms TTL=115 Reply from 142.250.180.3: bytes=32 time=15ms TTL=115 Reply from 142.250.180.3: bytes=32 time=17ms TTL=115 Reply from 142.250.180.3: bytes=32 time=15ms TTL=115 Reply from 142.250.180.3: bytes=32 time=14ms TTL=115 Reply from 142.250.180.3: bytes=32 time=12ms TTL=115 Reply from 142.250.180.3: bytes=32 time=24ms TTL=115 Reply from 142.250.180.3: bytes=32 time=13ms TTL=115 ---*snip*--- Reply from 142.250.180.3: bytes=32 time=15ms TTL=115 Reply from 142.250.180.3: bytes=32 time=14ms TTL=115 Request timed out.

    My LAN setup isn't perfect, I can't run a full ethernet cable so using an ethernet only 500mbit powerline adapter. Bearing in mind, I have tested this with my work laptop and get no packet loss (1 of 4000 pings) on this adapter, whereas my PC will get packet loss episodes on both the powerline and Wi-Fi, even if ethernet device is disabled.
    I have a 350mb ISP service.
      Something unusual that triggers the issue/makes it worse: If I stream games on discord, I immediately start experiencing issues. I start lagging, with episodes lasting around 1 second every 15 seconds or so. Absolutely baffling. Reducing streaming settings does not improve network performance. Game performance is completely fine, no drop in framerates etc. Meanwhile, my phone and other devices don't experience any issues while I'm trying to speak to people in discord and they describe my voice as "GLADoS"   Anything that anyone can add, including any websites or any basic troubleshooting steps that I might have missed would help a lot. Next step for me if this doesn't work is full RMA of my motherboard 😞   Cheers

    This is a very well-documented question already, and the answer is it depends. You can have your key pulled randomly as you're buying an enterprise key, but other than that usually fine. The sites themselves- depends on the site.

    I can't agree with this because the company is just that - a company. It's not a person, they won't feel bad because someone shouted at them over the phone. The girl at the end of the conversation that was just doing her best to relay what she can and can't do is the one that ends up taking the abuse for no reason. It's not her fault that she's in the situation why should she have to take borderline abuse as a result.
     
    You're saying because he's angry, he has the right to place that on someone else. If there is no-one to be angry at then the customer service people get it instead. This line of thinking is outright wrong. A viable alternative route is not to abuse or be angry at any human beings that have no control over the situation. It's fine to be angry and annoyed - it doesn't mean you have the right to treat other people badly especially when it's not their fault.

    But I agree with this chain of quotes and I recommend you make an effort to send an apology for the poor girl just doing her job. I get it, it's stupid. I agree with the entire values that this video portrays. I get that you're frustrated but it was incredibly uncomfortable watching you be so rude and borderline abusive to someone who has no control over the situation. She didn't deserve that and I hope you refrain from behaviour like this in the future.

    Anthony mentioned in the new video about the new mac that the link to the 27" iMac on the Apple website (https://www.apple.com/imac-27/) redirects to the 24" iMac; hinting that this new mac is likely a replacement for the 27" iMac.
     
    As a web developer this gave me a little thought.
     
    We developers will often have to "code in" this redirect. What's interesting is the type of HTTP redirect apple have used. There's two options. A 301 redirect (permanent) and a less common 302 redirect (temporary).
     
    The Apple website redirects using a 301, permanent redirect. This further solidifies Anthony's suspicion that this is a replacement for the 27" iMac and that it will not make a come back for the foreseeable.
     
    RIP 27" iMac

    Going from praising efforts to subvert YouTube's rating system by changing what gets displayed to the viewer, to criticizing efforts to subvert YouTube's revenue system by changing what gets displayed to the viewer...gives the impression that there's some questionable editorialising going on.
