Boeing keeps stepping on the rake.

There is nearly always a contract and the business will submit tax paperwork with your compensation to the IRS.

Under the table workers are illegal and on their own

I'm an American and I've always had a contract. Even in retail. Of course the contracts are all bullshit and just a waiver of my rights.

I didn't read it as humour I read it as a threat or perhaps a dig on trans folks?

Regardless I didn't need to escalate.

Yeah, or even just budget cuts. I am sure it's cheaper to just lock it down.

I was at a subsidiary of a very large company and had work slack, email, and all my code on my phone, without even the thing that lets them remote wipe your phone.

It has to do with culture and willingness to put in the effort by the security organization

What does your contract say? With this back to work bullshit I made sure my contract explicitly said I was remote.

Doesn't mean they won't change their mind but maybe I'll get severance instead of fired for cause of they have a back to the office push.

The hell does that mean? They are a shithead CEO, doesn't need to be more than that.

When do we as a society say that a corporation has done so much damage they need to be taken a apart.

When do the execs that hid this information get prosecuted for destroying the future of our children?

 

I am starting to detangle myself from Google and one of the services I use is YouTube.

I learned that piped exists the other day but that is just a front end for Google.

Is there a tool that I can host on my server that will let me give it YouTube links, that will then download/stream to my server and then server to my phone or computer?

I guess I am looking for a tool that will cache my YouTube videos locally and even download my subscriptions when they upload new stuff.

I'm not sure what this buys me that Piped does not, except that I am backing up videos in case they are removed.

 

I am working on building a new server in my apartment that will have a reasonably beefy GPU and CPU so I can get PCIE pass-through working and get a gaming VM set up.

Trouble is, my apartment is in the attic in the south. With the AC on I had one or two really bad days last year that it got up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit inside with high humidity.

Any cooling suggestions for something like that? Is 90 degrees Fahrenheit still cool enough to reduce the temperature of my components? I would really like to avoid buying a phase change cooler, but that is the only thing I can think of if the ambient is too high.

 

I have been out of the Piracy game for almost a decade so im starting over.

Anyone know of good resources for "old" American TV shows? Late 90's to mid 2000's.

None for the sites I tried in the mega thread had anything.

I am a grumpy old man that is/was pissed that we aren't getting a "real" Baldurs Gate 3, but as it gets close to release I am sadly getting excited about it.

Has anyone played Early Access on the Steam Deck? Is it fun/playable on there? I do nearly 100% of my gaming on that now and barely touch my dedicated gaming Ubuntu machine these days.
