    3.  Shaggybevo.  Truly the most enshittened enterprise in intergoogles history. Literally a scat site. How you left that off the list, I'll never understand.

Not all AI is bad.  Brought an online order back to Walmart to return.  Help desk lady gave me the 800 number and I called them right there.

Got a chat bot.  A bit to apologetic and syrupy but she got me fixed up real quick.  A+

r/mildlyinfuriating - Honestly I’m enraged

when my last HP printer died 4 or 5 years ago I bought one of those Epson InkTank printers and I've been really happy with it. Just fill 'er up with ink and paper and it prints. Definitely not photoprinter quality, but it prints game and show tickets and documents just fine.

"At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue came bursting out through your lips and if a gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora’s fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also."

That's some bullshit.  Great poetry comes from human authors, like James Joyce.  Behold the tear-inducing beauty of this work:

Man.  That fella could WRITE.

Hmmmm.  If a woman farts during sex and apologizes I always say "That's OK baby, I usually make them shit"

You’re not alone.

That's like a CVS receipt.

KitchenAid refrigerator bit the dust on Christmas Day. We had gotten it in a house sale ten years ago. When we got it, it was already 10 years old, so it lasted 20 years overall. Solid.

Holy shit today’s fridges are crap. The quality and customer satisfaction ratings on all of them are terrible. I spent hours trying to find one that “might” be good enough. The construction quality is cheap. Terrible products.

Finally we gave up and bought a Whirlpool that was supposedly “good enough”. After three days, the ice dispenser has never worked, the temperature varies way too much, and everything on it feels like it will break if I touch it. This sucks. Taking it back today.

What price point are you looking at? The high end Korean brands aren't like this as much, but they are all teched out.

Sub-zero, FORNO etc.

If you are lamenting $700-$1200 fridges being toys then idk what to tell you.

Discussion with son who does code for a major financial technology company-

"What percentage of your work involves AI?"
"All of it now. But it lets us focus on the non-redundant bullshit"

That being said, IMHO, it's like asking a car manufacturer what percentage of your assemblers use pneumatic/ electric wrenches? Is it different than turning the nuts/ bolts by hand? Yeah. Is in inherently bad? no. Is the productivity increased? Massively. Hell, Santa at our house ain't doing shit without a cordless screwdriver any more.

Fintech is a pretty broad category, but it makes sense that they'd be going all in on the latest tech trends. That's how they groom themselves for PE buyouts, which is always the endgame.

And to be fair, most "coding" work isn't actually writing code. It's aligning with business partners to understand what is impactful for their operations, and crafting code to meet SLA at the lowest cost possible. Most of the time and effort isn't writing what's probably just a few hundred to thousand lines or code. It's making sure that the code that's written and services implemented will actually do something valuable for either the business or your customers.

I have seen loads of useless services built and quickly abandoned just so IT managers and promotion seekers can claim they're doing good work, when they're really just making busy as a pickme tactic

You'd love his employer. No layoffs in the history of the company. Still privately owned.

Yes, he develops code, as do others on his immediate team.

(No CR)

I am told they upped the efficiency requirements of refrigerators a few years back and "got ahead" of the natural technology advancements. Led to reliability problems.

Compliance requirements for those rule changes don't kick in until 2030, so I think it's just the manufacturers taking the opportunity to lower costs and blame duh gubmint for lower quality

Mid-range is likely the worst place to shop for fridges and appliances. Appliance guys I talk to say the same thing: Whirlpool or Frigidaire, no ice-maker or dispenser, top freezer. Simplest and will run for as long as the compressor will. I’m happy with the Frigidaire we have.

Interior plastics even on high-end models now are mostly shit.
