Comment This should be illegal! (Score 1) 90

The government should step in. There must be regulation that the hiring process should not last longer than 2 months and the candidates should be onboarded within 1 month after accepting the offer. If this doesnâ(TM)t happen then person should be considered a hired person who doesnâ(TM)t get paid with all relevant consequences to the company.

Comment Donâ(TM)t worry my laundry still runs on quar (Score 1) 136

We have so much ridiculously obsolete stuff everywhere. Customary measurement system instead of metric. Faxes and phone calls instead of emails. Calling in to book appointments. I can write a whole poem about this nonsense. Internet exists for 20 years but everything operates like 50 years ago.

It is very simple. Luring out personal details enables personalized attacks beyond the chatbots. For example it can be used by real thieves. I regularly get scammed by the fake girls on Instagram. I guess they use the classic scheme of getting trust and manipulation to get money from the victim. AI is just a tool that helps identify the most vulnerable and dumbest people who can do such things.

Comment 27â iMac 5k Retina was the best! (Score 1) 135

I absolutely adore 27â 5K retina screens. When it is embedded with the rest of the hardware into unibody it becomes a best computer you can buy for everyday tasks. You can do the office work, you can work with CADs, code, edit videos and photos. Itâ(TM)s awesome. It is nice all rounder. Iâ(TM)m very sad that the Apple doesnâ(TM)t make 27â 5k iMacs anymore. Mine is getting older and I would like to upgrade but thereâ(TM)s nothing better on the market. PCs are total junk and iMac 24â has a small screen. 27â is optimal for comfortable work and hidpi makes text look nice. I think Apple should return 27â iMacs and position them as professional workstations, something like iPad Pro. They could go to the basics: iMac is a 24â low-power desktop and iMac Pro - a 27â professional power house for serious use. A simple and clear delineation between the models could lead to a good sales.

Comment Remote is better (Score 3, Interesting) 202

Iâ(TM)m a software engineer and I found remote work better suited for me than the office work. I am not against the office work but it makes a lot of things harder. Before Covid19 I worked for a few years in a full time remote job and I had no issues when the chaos hit everyone. During that phase I got into the cycling and it helped me to manage my stress. When everything went back to normal I had to return to the office and it took a lot of fun in my life. I have to spend at least 2hrs in the commute. 90% of that time I have to stand in the train. When I return home I have no desire to go for the ride. I am drained physically and mentally. The office work destroys me. Iâ(TM)m noticing that I am extremely tired being there. Also I wake up in the middle of the night. During the remote work I slept better, trained regularly and generally felt like I have a balance in my life. Now everything is destroyed. There is only one reason to come to the office - have meetings in person. It is good for brainstorming and collaboration. Real actual work - e.g. writing code and design doesnâ(TM)t require your presence in the office. Also my home office setup is way better than my office one. Thereâ(TM)s no benefits for the office work for people who is actually working. The main problem is that the management doesnâ(TM)t take remote workers seriously and doesnâ(TM)t want to promote people like this. It results in people moving to a different companies. Everything is very simple: management wants to hire people for less money and them to work more. It devalues the people. Next thing is hiring overseas which results in the accidents and zero responsibility, etc. Good workers become better over the time and their productivity results in less time spent to do the same job. Unfortunately, this is not reflected in the study.
