Good grief, Dipshit of the Month isn't good enough anymore!!!
Wendy's can't keep their narratives straight.
Elon Musk can't keep his narratives straight.
The U.S. government just recommended JAVA. For SECURITY.
Nvidia's software team is the only part of their organization that isn't shit or horrifically disrespectful to consumers.
My alma mater is balancing its budget in the most inefficient way(s) possible.
And ChatGPT is actively falling apart.
"My goodness, how do I address all these at once???"

"Kurzgesagt?"
"Kurzgesagt."

Welp, you found the thumbnail I sampled lol!
Idk, I find the thought experiments they do interesting. I see "climate greenwashing" as a gross misinterpretation of how they cover the subject. They talk a lot about hypothetical technologies, as well as what is technically possible with current technology but may not be reasonable to achieve. Watching videos that dream of a space-faring humanity and interpreting it as "excusing climate inaction" is just plain stupid. It's just as I said, thought experiments.
I don't need to agree with someone's philosophies or opinions to respect their work. Kurzgesagt puts immense effort into what they do; that much I'm convinced of.

American fast food is throwing us for a loop right now.
Wendy's has announced they aren't not going to maybe-ish try dynamic pricing:

Meanwhile McDonald's is doing based shit out of nowhere:

After 7 months of owning it, my Steelseries Aerox 5 Wireless is toast. Its scroll wheel is borderline unusable.
Tried software solutions. Tried cleaning. Tried resets. Nothing.
Now, I can't say that I'm surprised, or that I'm down on Steelseries (yet). I am a hurricane researcher and new college graduate. What does that mean? Reading papers and writing papers and writing code and rewriting papers and rewriting code, especially last autumn. And that means lots of scrolling. I know full well that I TORTURE my scroll wheels.
Disappointed because I've loved the mouse otherwise. Back to mouse hunting, I suppose!

Snapchat just sent out a mass message saying "wE'rE nOT sOciAL meDiA."
I am not making this up.

Yes, my laptop is now on Windows 11.
No, it's not that different from Windows 10.
Yes, I was basically forced to do it to fix a problem.
No, I'm not happy about it.

"Well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions."
Being good at a game (chess, in this case) means you're good at that game, not that you're smart in general.This asshat is a prime example.
And for what it's worth, LTE is extremely public, yet is more secure than both public airport WiFi AND Snapchat. Let that sink in.
This dipshit teen failed spectacularly on every conceivable level.

For those who don't know, tech is a major interest & hobby of mine, but it's not my biggest one. That would be meteorology. (Which I have a degree in now yay!)
As a side effect of this, I occasionally miss nuances in the tech industry.
As a great example, when I first got into tech (2015-16 timeframe), PowerColor was that cheap AMD GPU brand you only got because it was cheap. Otherwise, the extra $20 or whatever was worth the jump in manufacturing quality to another brand (Sapphire, XFX, or MSI usually). I had accepted this as truth for several years.
So imagine my surprise when I check myself in 2024 and realize that PowerColor got their shit together while I wasn't paying attention (probably locked in a cave somewhere to get homework done).
Not only are they still on the cheap side, they now trade blows with Sapphire in product quality. Whiplash!

I'm going to grad school for hurricane research in the Fall. Don't know where yet.
I did apply for the local TV job in the meantime but they haven't answered any of my messages over the past month. I'll likely just grab some retail job to pay my bills for the next few months, instead.
Meteorology is one of those fields where it is strongly recommended that you begin to specialize early. I specialized in research, not broadcasting. I could totally do broadcasting, but would require extra coaching that some places just aren't willing to do.

Well, when you don't give a shit about Steam trading cards, the 1,2,3,etc. cents is worth more to you.
