As someone in the US who has been in audits where we had to attest to where our data was stored, also wtf.

Oh reading the article it means non-US sovereignty. Pretty sure anybody in IT at this point should know the US privacy laws are non-existent and US companies are in this position and have been for decades.

Couple of thoughts.

First, what you described sounds like most of the toys I’ve bought my kids growing up so if it brought them joy, probably about as valuable as anything else.

Second, my experience is a bit different. My sons have 3d printed nick nacks displayed on their shelves and both have fidget toys they play with on the regular. Also I’ve got a chain fidget in my pocket I’ve been playing with all day.

I’ve also got a box of less successful toys I’d love to recycle if I could but definitely some wins too. So I think there are a lot of toys you’d be right about but also a lot of them are actually pretty interesting and fun to the right person

Cleaning is a good suggestion. I’d start there.

Also, that kind of looks like the cheap black textured plates that come with some printers. I thought the people talking about pei sheets were over-hyping but honestly they are really much better. It’s not a silver bullet but pla sticks soooo much better to them.

For pla it’s overkill, but for tricky stuff build adhesive can help. I had good luck with vision miner. It’s expensive but it’s been buy once, cry once because it has lasted a really long time.

And here I thought it was because of The Traveler that they didn’t travel over warp 9.

That’s kind of outside the software development discussion but glad you’re enjoying it.

Most ides do the boring stuff with templates and code generation for like a decade so that’s not so helpful to me either but if it works for you.

Explain this too me AI. Reads back exactly what’s on the screen including comments somehow with more words but less information Ok…

Ok, this is tricky. AI, can you do this refactoring so I don’t have to keep track of everything. No… Thats all wrong… Yeah I know it’s complicated, that’s why I wanted it refactored. No you can’t do that… fuck now I can either toss all your changes and do it myself or spend the next 3 hours rewriting it.

Yeah I struggle to find how anyone finds this garbage useful.

I see no such weakness for you. Unless there’s a new pug anime I need to watch. In which case why have you been holding out?
