That’s the part that’s wild to me - media companies acting like they sell gas or food and I’m going to buy it no matter what.
I would love to claim my integrity is why I don’t turn to piracy. But the reality is that Stargate had a lot of great seasons on DVD.
Yeah.
I thought the convenience of streaming was going to kill the DVD, but I’m getting tired of family favorites disappearing. So I’m back to buying DVDs as well.
If those go away too, then I suppose I can look forward to the guy behind our highschool going back into business.
I’m sure his stuff was fully licensed by the studios. There’s no way a random kid could be out-smarting all that money the studios are spending on anti-piracy measures. /s
I was actually was on the cusp of committing to annual subscriptions to my favorite 3 this year, and then all three hiked their prices.
So yeah, one per month it is.
Any days to support all that? I’m not seeing that at all. Tech talent in my network is still really picky, and those that have changed jobs this year still picked up the usual 5 figure salary increase for their trouble.
On the scale of tech recruiting, I’ll agree it’s the coldest it has been in a long time, in that tech people get snapped off the market by a new employer in well over the previously typical 48 hours.
For any employers who think your reputations can survive making asses of yourselves right now, think again though. Memories in tech are long.
Not that I care, I’ll gladly keep stealing talent from short sighted orgs.
I probably sound like I hate it, but I’m just giving my annual “this new tech isn’t the miracle it’s being sold as” warning, before I go back to charging folks good money to clean up the mess they made going “all in” on the last one.
The error message is a timeout. That implies a few things:
Since you ruled out obvious stuff like batteries and updates at the device…
I would check in between - check the connectors of any network cables involved. For anything wireless, also check if there’s a device priority table you can prioritize your controller in. I would also try turning off a few devices to see if there’s just too much traffic on the network.
Source: That image contains a stack trace. I am fluent in stack trace WTF. Timeout means the message was sent and there was no timely no response.
Not gonna lie, if PayPal releases a line of Pogs, I am all in.
We have the best memes. We are a meme force to be reckoned with.
Also, we’re desperate for some mirth to lighten the burden of how horrible some of our politicians are.
