@lemmy.worldYeah, many users of hardwareswap were not thrilled to hear they'd be moving to Discord.
I needed a lawn mower for my tiny patch of grass so I went with Ryobi. I've since bought/been gifted Ryobi for every yard tool I have.
My drills and impact driver are DeWalt. Way better than the shitty Black & Decker drill that I got in a free gift from work.
I found Baby Race to be very relatable. I also got feelsy about Sleepytime, as our toddler still co-sleeps, but that'll have to transition to her own bed soon with another little one on the way. And then like others have said, the end of Army got me.
I thought I was doing okay until we needed to unhook the washer to access the burst AC drain pipe and now cant use it until the water damage is handled. 🙃
Mentioned it in a sub-comment, but I'm liking Summit the most, having tried Jerboa, Connect, Liftoff and Thunder beforehand
Have you tried Summit? The swiping to get the sidebars is an adjustment for me coming from RIF but I feel it has the best look and feature set. I also like Thunder, but it's lacking some features of the other apps.
Company was bought by a VC group with no experience in the industry. They spent their resources in all the wrong places, leading to alienated employees with no morale. They were also behind on office rental payments.
We had no formal IT or standard laptop hardware or software. One team decided they were all done after their director left. The CEO decided that they were colluding and fired them all at once. Nobody else was cleared for that project's SCIF, meaning nobody could contact the customer over secure channels. Additionally, their drives were encrypted with personal passwords that were never turned over as the employees had no proper exit process.
Between that and my team slowly leaving due to morale, they lost 2/3 of the few contracts they had, along with the technical expertise responsible for them.
I work in cybersecurity.
I picked computer engineering at the recommendation of my last math teacher in High School. I spent the majority of my childhood and teenage years playing with one form of technology or another, so I figured it made sense. I had a non-linear college career, but at the end of my 4+1 (accelerated grad school) I reconnected with one of my freshman roommates who graduated three years prior, got a job where he worked. That place fell apart after a venture capital group purchased it (seems to be a consistent story...) And ended up following one of my friends/former coworker to my current job.
