I don’t quite agree, the metrics were designed to be out of your control, with the only way to meet them being doing more work than actually necessary and to always attempt to deliver the best work.

The point being?

I’m glad that it’s gotten better, and that you’re finding it aligns with you more! I hope they keep making improvements to it.

Having had this rating determine how well I was doing at my job really sucked!

Its a carrot that’s dangled on a stick tied to your back, you can never reach the carrot on your own, the metric is completely out of your control.

I only ever got scored badly during outages or when people were upset about something that the service didn’t do, so my overall rating was good, but even with 10 5 star ratings, it just takes 1 4 star to ruin that.

The customer correspondence rating (CCR) for our department was 4.64. That basically means that anything that isn’t a 5 is bad.

If you got a 3 and below, a team lead and a “quality” engineer would have meetings with you to correct what you did wrong.

Whenever I have to rate things now, if the person wasn’t a complete dickhead, I rate 5.

How has it changed? When I left, the CCR was 4.64, which then got upped to 4.67 a few months later. It was AWS tho.

They pioneered modern day planned obsolescence, they also popularised unrepairable electronics. They try to block or bastardise any right to repair bills. They force chip distributors to not sell chips they use so their products can’t be repaired. They make building applications for Mac at scale a huge pain in the ass and extremely expensive, the solution I recently built wastes insane amounts of power because of the way Apple licenses their stuff. Overall it’s a shitty company who fucks poor people in developing nations, fucks the environment and fucks it’s customers. I don’t care how well it may or may not work, fuck Apple.

Also OSX ui is shit and annoying.

Same here. I’ll pirate the security updates for the next 3 years and then switch. Fuck Windows 11 and fuck Microsoft.

It was 69B

Nice

Pretty sure the studio I work at will have layoffs by the end of the year. Fuck Microsoft.

Docker and the docker-compose yaml files. They’ll be invaluable. Compose files allows you to create custom networking and run multiple containers.

Super useful and what most people use to run simple docker workloads.

You don’t have to understand how to create containers, just understand how they work and the commands to use them effectively.

I guess you’re right… Need a Linux distros like that so that can also change.

IPad? From an even worse company? Linux all the way.

I don’t know. I have a 7th gen i7 and it works fine, I want a new PC but can’t afford it, but even if I could I wouldn’t touch Win11 with a barge pole.

I fucking hate it. I don’t want to move to Linux. Probably just pirate the updates for the next 3 years and then deal with the security risk.

Need to petition the EU to shop this shit and force them to extend life due to the insane amount of e-waste it will cause.

Pro and Ent are way easier to “spoof”

Oh shit, sorry, I totally missed that. Then yeah, no idea.

Have you run a PID tune for a while? Like do a lot of cycles, about how long it usually takes to fail.

If you have the default nozzle for the Neptune 3, then I believe that the PTFE tube runs right down to the nozzle?

If so, that’s probably where the issue is coming from.

Get yourself a bi-metallic heat break and replace the stock one.

They’re cheap and easy to replace. The printers that I’ve had jamming issues with have been fixed by replacing the heat break with an all metal one.

You just have to lower your retraction to 2-3mm or it jams as well.

Looks like the Slice Engineering Copperhead C-E fits the Neptune 3

Yeeeeah, no enterprise admin would run that… GPOs would do the same with more transparency and no privacy concerns (besides running Windows of course)

There is always the Network + book. I went through it in 2005, so no idea what the content is like nowadays though

I’ve blocked the Win11 upgrade on my work laptop via GPO, but I’m a sys eng, so have full control.
