I perform some software testing at the company for which I work.

Two weeks ago I found our software pleasant enough to use.

Today I upgraded via Test Flight, and it was a complete downgrade.

A dev implemented a “secret tap” to switch access to some static API URLs, and it’s just thrown everything off. Because I have no feedback of which “mode” I’m in and if I’m in the wrong “mode” it will make everything unusable.

Anyone ever see the 80s film “Night of the Comet?”

That’s what this G4 geomagnetic storm is going to do to Canada.

Kelli Maroney as Samantha Belmont in the film “Night of the Comet” taking over a DJ booth and announcing “I’ll be taking requests from all you teenage comet zombies.”

One of the things I enjoy most about my team is I get continuously stood up at our standing meeting w/o warning with the excuse that “whew, this morning was busy” but the day I am 1 minute late, the Slack messages start flooding in. 🥳

@RickiTarr The last three months of 2023, I seriously thought the company would be shuttered. Now I’m just hoping I fuck up enough just once that I’m asked to submit my resignation. 🤣

Alright my fellow computer nerds. I have not purchased a computer in five years, and it’s been even longer since I built one.

I’ve decided I need a Windows box to play many of the games I would like. What are the current considerations for processor, memory, graphics, and storage I should be considering?

Should I just use the Baldur’s Gate 3 recommended specs, cry, and save my clams?

@psychicparrot42 Initially, I thought a mini-PC I could hook up to my tv would be cool, but most of those use onboard graphics which I did not think would be sufficient or future proof.

I like the idea of a laptop too, but similar issue.

I just loathe the idea of a big ass box under my desk (again).

Oh, goodie!

Here we go again! My local energy company here in South-Central Texas is gamifying energy consumption on what is expected to be a very hot day (103°F/39°C).

Will I win? Can I become the lowest energy consumer on the block? Stay tuned!

I just want the adult world to know that some of our children consumed the Grimace Birthday Shake and didn’t spill it on the floor or themselves to make a short form horror video. They just finished it.
