  • You’re telling me that computers are sophisticated enough to drive cars and create new antibiotics but resumes are just too much? Nah.

    If that’s the case then don’t ask for a resume and only have the form to input job history that can be easily handed over to a manager using a printable template.

    It’s lazy on HR’s part and on the HR software they use.


  • I put my mom on Ubuntu with KDE 10 years ago. I had far less problems with her on Linux than I ever did with Vista and 7. It got to the point she was calling me multiple times a week.

    I didn’t have to but I did one Ubuntu reinstall in that entire time only because I made /boot the default partition size at installation and years later it filled up constantly. I got sick of going over there to clean it up and it coincided with her getting a new computer.

    My mom installed printer drivers, and Cisco VPN software from run packages instead of apt and set up multi- monitors on her own after I taught her how to use the terminal, so it’s possible for the elderly.



  • He told IGN that one of its upcoming titles, Space Marine 2, will retail for $70, but only because he’s concerned audiences would see a cheaper price as emblematic of poor quality.

    Yipes. Saber should throw this minnow back in the water and cast that line out again for a bigger fish that knows anything about the videogame market.

    When I see a $70 game my very first thought is an over-promised under-delivered mess barely beta quality that contains Denuvo or some other shitware that had higher priority to work at launch than the game itself. Not to mention a day one patch the size of the entire install, login servers that can’t handle the load, graphical glitches, and constant framerate drops.

    That $30 game is $70 because it’s a hot genre and other no name shops a fraction of the size sold a million copies at $30 so this exec’s massive studio with its executive team’s millions of combined man-hours could sell it for $150 and gamers would buy it because the reputation alone is worth $100 per copy according to them.
