This all sounds smart to me. I’ll vote for it given the chance.

Same, and it’s great! I can’t wait to dive back in. But I need to read the stuff more because I get lost and I feel like they’ll tell me what I’m supposed to be doing.

The sound of Internets!

I swear when I had dial up I could tell how fast my connection would be by the sound of the static. If it didn’t sound clean I’d get a crap connection and just hanging up and dialing a different connection number would do the trick.

Good point! They could have even had a period accurate trailer, with that guy with the really deep voice like in movie trailers back then “A game, 20 years in the making…”

Oops… 2021. Fail me!

Been on my wishlist since 2001! I can’t wait to have time to play.

I’ve played through the game a few times and am at it again in VR. A good use of the $60 I probably spent for it.

I’m not sure why you got a down vote for saying someone should help change the whole system but here is an up vote to help fix it.

And bottom line that won’t work. It won’t because American organizations are dictatorships and dictatorships always end up that way. I do what I can to fight it but I know my efforts have limited impact outside of my departments.

For some “light” reading, try The Doctors Handbook and Cultish. Both amazing books that do a great job outlining why the systems work the way they do and changing the system is what’s needed to change the default output.

Germany to an extent and some Nordic countries do a good job of this on paper. I can’t say I’ve read enough to speak intelligently about their solutions though.

If the majority of the people the majority of the time have the same result then it’s the system not the people.

So yeah it could be a systemic issue, it’s my job to prevent or correct that.

Agreed! Luckily they’re fairly easy to replace as long as you don’t build systems that won’t allow them to fail.

A decade or more before COVID my favorite tool was to let everyone work from home. Those that sucked at their job wouldn’t get anything done. HR would just ask we bring them all in and I’d refuse. If they can’t be trusted to work without supervision they can’t be trusted to work with it.

Now keep in mind we have to be reasonable people and not driving our people beyond reasonableness.

Here’s my view as an executive, if my folks regularly add hours to their day/week to get their job done they’re not good at their job. If they’re good at their job they know how to prioritize and they also know how to optimize and automate constantly so they can do more with less. They also do their form of zero base reporting or zero base budgeting constantly to get rid of what was once important that no longer is.

To be fair in senior leadership a 40 hour week probably isn’t going to happen but you should swing between 55 hours and 30 hours depending on the week and average it to the mid to high 40s.

I suspect this isn’t going to be a popular post, and I accept your down votes but would also like to hear your contrary view along with it if you don’t mind.

I’ve been trying to convince myself now that the iPhone uses USB C to swap from Android since Google and the whole DRM bit. To be fair I’m a Firefox user and I know Apple uses a chromium wrapper for Safari or what have you but I am afraid of Graphene OS installation.

With this I just can’t do Apple. Alright all you Lemmies telling me just to try it and so being a wimp, I’m gonna do it.

Queue the I’m in danger meme

If it’s built on Nvidia tech and they take advantage of DLSS 3 it’ll out perform PS5 and XBO in many cases.

No exclusives at all are as bad for the gamer economy as only exclusives.

I’m interested in the next version of FSR, it’s rumored to include frame generation.

I don’t need a side by side to know the difference. DLSS is better in performance hands down. To get the same performance with FSR I have to sacrifice other settings if I can get there at all.
