I have never once been told I wasn’t hired, let alone told why.

I’ve been to probably a thousand interviews.

No one has time for that.

Imagine as a manager, you interview 100 people. Now you expect them to write a rejection letter, pass it through HR and the lawyers, for 99 people?

Imagine the time that would take, and what does the company get for that time? Nothing but risk.

“The wealth holding members of society”

Hahaha, every hiring manager I’ve worked for (you know, someone looking to fill a spot on our team) wasn’t exactly what I’d call “a wealth holder”.

They’re middle-to-senior management, making anywhere from 100k to 300k, at most. Sometimes quite a bit less.

We’re talking people who are a good 3 levels away from the C class. Meaning they’d be competing with everyone at their level, and above, to get to those higher seats in the pyramid.

Hiring managers are rarely farther up the food chain, unless they’re hiring for those seats farther up the food chain - which isn’t any of us here.

It’s It like there’s a team of managers who just do hiring/interviews. HR handles the initial stages, and the actual “hiring manager” is the person who’s looking to add someone to their team, someone they’ll be managing.

The same way you get over not knowing just about anything else.

Let it go.

Does it serve you in any way to continue to be bothered by not knowing?

You are irrelevant to them. Just like I’m irrelevant to you. That’s life.

I haven’t done the math, how much runtime could you get out of a single 18650? They’re pretty stout, but it seems like they’d be a bit underpowered.

Milwaukee 12v batteries are 3 cells (I think they’re a little smaller than 18650), and you can run through a battery pretty quick (I believe they’re 1.5AH). Though I don’t know how efficient their heating design is.

Sounds like marketing foo.

I have a 10+ year old Weller station with digital temp adjustment, and I don’t recall it having a cpu and ram.

Those look pretty cool.

But I’m confused about the marketing around the cpu/ram, etc. Does that really matter for a soldering iron? (Serious question, not being snarky).

I get they’re using that tech to make it adjustible/smart, but it’s a soldering iron, not a pocket computer.

Is there some way those specs genuinely matter? Or is it just to say “we’re using the latest tech to provide controls”?

The article seems to say it can, though they’re promoting their own, of course

Damn you, beat me to it. And now I have that song in my head.

That’s just so you’re oblivious to what’s about to happen.

Scared prey doesn’t taste as good.

So what “unpriviledged user” can run an MSI?

In my world (the business world), by definition unpriviledged means can’t install apps. That’s kind of the first level of unpriviledged, with things like change start menu way farther down the tree. I’ve never worked anywhere that’s allowed end users to even kick off an install of anything - at most we use some automation that responds to a user launching an app shortcut (using an app and system management tool that has its own service, something the user can’t even interact with because the install happens silently with zero dialogs. Such dialogs are really bad practice).

It’s not an immutable OS, an app installer can be malicious, of course, like any OS.

Also this:

This attack does not work using a recent version of the Edge browser or Internet Explorer. Also make sure that Edge or IE have not been set as default browser for the system user and that Firefox or Chrome are not running before attempting to exploit it." Secondly, not all .msi files are exploitable.

So it’s a tempest in a tea pot, especially considering it takes a malicious actor at the computer to click on a command prompt window at just the right time (or remoted in, though since timing is crucial, it probably isn’t likely). You can create a script to do it, but even that is problematic, and not all MSI files aren’t susceptible to this (even says so in the article).

So like so much else, it requires just the right circumstance, with just the right MSI, just the right default browser, just the right user permissions, and just the right malicious actor in front of the machine, with just the right knowledge.

You’re screaming into this void

Only took them what, 20 years?

Why would you run local traffic over the VPN?

Keep in mind NIN in 2022 doesn’t have the leading act draw they had in 2000, and that isn’t the same as say 1990.

We need metrics that include their popularity/ticket sales, etc.

I paid $100 a ticket in 1985 for a stadium sellout band at the time. Ten years before my older siblings paid $40 for the same band.

I want to know how they aim to improve battery-based soldering irons, since heat requires lots of juice, period.

The only thing we can do is improve the efficiency of that conversion, which just means even faster consumption of batteries.

The only area that can improve is in the tip - better sizing to the job at hand (good luck, this is a portable device, meaning you never really know) and better insulating it so less heat is lost to the rest of the device (and that’s been solved for decades in better quality irons).

My higher quality irons have a very small tip, with very little heat lost to the holder.

The other option is carbon tips, which I’ve had, and work great. But they’re fragile.

Edit: ah, they’re not talking about efficiency, I misunderstood.

Cool idea, actually. Are they using 18650 batteries?

Edit 2: $250 for the power station? Are they on crack? No thanks. My Weller 120v station was maybe $120, I can run an extension cord. This is what they’re competing with, or a Milwaukee cordless. Once Milwaukee sees this, they’ll duplicate it, and it’s hard to beat the flexibility of removable batteries which are designed for high current.

And yet I still want this.

What’s the Lineage website say?

Your theory makes as much sense as any other, and likely has ad much supporting evidence… So I vote greed.

I’ve known someone who was pregnant and not known it, and it wasn’t due to any of your made up story.

Multiple pregnancy tests, even done by doctors, came up negative.

Doctors didn’t know she was pregnant until she went into labor.

You should educate yourself, lest you sound like the ignorant people you made up.

Well that’s respectful. Not.

Should I reply in Klingon?

And it was still a floor
