The mouse cursor showing up correctly rules out a physical connection issue to the screen.
What is supposed to be on the screen right now? Is it just the deskop, an app, a game… ? That might provide more insight.
But I’d guess a hardware issue off the bat. Something with the GPU, or perhaps more specifically with VRAM.
No it isn’t the same, but it is something. I’d sleep a lot better knowing I at least had a run down farmhouse on the way instead of working until I die to pay the rent.
Generational wealth is a huge cancer on the system that isn’t talked about enough. You can’t fix wealth inequality with nepo-babies running around.
Thanks for the detailed overview(s).
I guess a mix of housing types, though perhaps more fair, is likely unattainable. As you said, developers are out to make money, and affordable housing tends not to do that.
Right? Obvious news everywhere lately. Who is it that is that out of touch?
The benefit of market rate housing is that it hopefully will be occupied, allowing for higher income earners to move into a more expensive unit and freeing up an older lower cost unit.
But this assumes people are moving up the ladder. In 2024 this does not appear to generally be the case, but the system remains skewed to high earners.
(Not asking a question, just thinking out loud I guess)
I always hear this about building more housing, but I see a lot of new housing around me which sits empty because it is not affordable.
This is obvious to anyone who has been in the tech sector, especially those who work remotely. I’ve been remote for nearly 10 years now.
At this point, I have recruiters from Amazon and Meta pretty regularly contacting me about roles. I always say the same thing: I’ve seen how you treated your remote employees, and while you claim position X is currently remote, I’m not about to put myself in a position to “enjoy” your next round of RTO mandates.
I know I’m not alone in that. Combine groups like mine with the groups already burned by RTO, and you have a sizeable contingent of talent which won’t touch certain companies.
To be clear, it’s very difficult for smaller companies to make a dent against the big players, and those that do tend to just get bought out anyway. But that approach is shockingly inefficient compared to just being able to attract top talent in the first place.
I meant more about rents than the antitrust suit. It’s all well and good to hold the company accountable; meanwhile, rents have already been artificially inflated, and they don’t go down.
Now ACT, ffs
Fun fact: it doesn’t matter.
Will taxes that used to cover bussing go down? Or is that money just going into pockets while the common person pays even more to get their kids to school?
Happens to me all the time on a VPN.
It isn’t every IP. I just change tunnels.
