I really hate it when people post news videos as youtube shorts. Whenever they get recommended to you, youtube never tells you when those videos were uploaded before you click on them so you end up in situations like this https://youtu.be/Kar3E2qkYrM?t=17

People that say that you shouldn't leave the freezer door open because it will overload the motor are full of shit
The real reason you shouldn't leave the freezer door open is that the freezer quickly develops icy layers, overwhelming all your cardboard boxes, and then you can't close the top-of-the-fridge-freezer-door because it ices over where the door is supposed to close
Just tried to plug a USB type C adapter into my ear because I forgot I had taken off my headset, and wanted to charge said, no longer on my head, headset while it was in use

My buddy who works at Verizon has to call overseas tech support sometimes and in the past weeks, they stopped having Indian accents. Turns out, Verizon's using AI to remove the Indian accent because people find Indians so untrustworthy that customers immediately hang up on them. So... good luck with incoming Indian scammers with American accents.
lol

You can still tell because of the phrasing they use and adherence to the script
idk what interactions with a call centers are even needed other than:
"Hey company, you fucked up and I need you to replace something"
I think retail has conditioned people to abuse the systems, which is why you want *some* friction
But I feel like none of this really needs to exist anymore, and if it does your business is likely confusing/exploititve on-purpose
I'm trying to think of something I'd call in for actual tech support though
versus it being an account/billing issue that is locking me out of something
if the thing is broken, I need it replaced
I don't really think most things are worth trying to troubleshoot anymore
for account/billing stuff yes
I've had ISP hardware issues, and the solution it always to just replace the modem/box
which Comcast/Verizon/Fronteir sort of just default to at this point
if it's a local cluster issue, or if you're their only customer on the street, you should probably switch services
not saying you specifically Leg, and yeah I've heard Mediacom is shit

@SyrenBell thank you for the new status. My phone decided it was so important that I got a push notification for it, being one of the first things I saw this morning

Spooky minor tech rant, since I'm not going to reinvent how the entire world works
Why don't more things run just-in-time? Mostly talking about the applications layer
- 1
All apps have become heavy apps, and none of them really do lazy loading or w/e you want to call it well
There is absolutely no reason any application needs to suck down the insane level of resources when idle, beyond heavy media cacheing which itself should just be architected better
Even when they're wholly separate things, like browser extensions, they just sit there spun-up waiting for their once-monthly use
And that's just something fully exposed and declaratively wasteful, under the hood there are module after module that are constantly loaded but never actually DO anything
if a part of your engine has never done anything, DON'T FUCKING LOAD IT, and if it's sat idle for hours, UNLOAD IT
And if you port to a memory efficient language, that doesn't mean you can ignore this, architect your app better
I just don't know why this is so uncommon, I feel like you have internal workers/watchdogs anyway and you definitely have the ability to restart these subroutines/submodules on a whim anyway, so why not invoke them at-activation, it's not like the imperceptible increase to execution time will be a negative, compared to having a bloated unresponsive app like 99% of things are nowadays
ig, part of me assumes it really is as simple as people are min-maxing load times above all else, and don't care if their app is crashing and a complete piece of shit while using it normally
I'd sort of guess bad coders would do it accidentally, since everything they'd do would be segmented already to keep cascading failures isolated within a big codebase

Hey how long has this heat wave been going on
Cause today marks a week of having no fucking AC
Cause the compressor for our AC unit died and we've been screwed over by two different fucking repair guys
the peak heat has only been the last day-two, should last a few more
I think the absolute peak is today/tomorrow for the East Coast
