I used to have a Miracast dongle and it worked like a champ. No wifi needed and it did exactly what I wanted. I always thought it was cool, but it never really caught on. Android killed off support a few years ago. You can still use it with Windows, but I mostly use a Chromecast now for convenience.

I agree to an extent, but while I’m not going to speak for everyone as my situation is unique, my role is as an individual contributor, and my role requires absolutely 0 teamwork. I have a set of tasks that need to be done by EOD, and so does the rest of my team. We don’t collaborate at all. When we were in office, the only benefit was we all sat together, so you could ask a team member for assistance if you got stuck on a unique issue.

During Covid, they redid our office. There are no assigned seats anymore. So when they do ask us to come in, I work at a random desk by myself. It’s absolutely stupid. I’m wasting gas and time driving to the office just to make an appearance to stroke management’s ego so they can physically see me in person.

I feel like that term wasn’t around in 2010

Pretty sure this is the same shit that blew up in the Beirut port. I wouldn’t let a Russian ship full of that shit into my port.

Since people keep commenting on how it looks. Here they are. That way you don’t have to give that cretin more clicks.

I have no idea how Samsung phones are so popular. They are aesthetically pleasing I guess, but their insistence on bloat ware has driven me away since day 1. I almost got the 1 bloat free phone they ever made which was the S4 Google Play edition, but opted for the HTC One Google Play edition instead. Since then, every phone has been loaded with unremovable garbage apps that you can’t get rid of without rooting. I refuse to buy a phone with garbage apps that no one uses with the sole purpose of data collection. Say what you will about Google (I know) but at least their apps are helpful.

My mom has a Samsung Smart TV that recently kept turning on by itself to play their shitty TV+app which was pre installed on the TV, and never once opened (not on purpose at least) by anyone in the household. Apparently this is a common issue. I had to disconnect it completely from the internet, perform a factory reset, sign her Samsung account out, and plug in a Chromecast to replace the UI of the TV just to get everything working for her, and not waste electricity by having the TV randomly turn on every 30 minutes. It’s one thing if they were bloating their UI with good apps, but forcing a bunch of absolutely useless apps onto us is ridiculous.

Never have I ever eaten lobster

I mean, dudes a billionaire. He could just fly to Nevada where that’s legal, but where’s the fun in that?

He thinks he can buy horses for people to get them to jerk him off.

Oh he does, but he has to buy women horses to do it

Shame on… You

Came to say this. Brazil is going to align themselves politically with these countries in the coming years.

Yeah, totally reasonable for prices to double, and rates to triple and then housing prices stay at elevated levels and never dip with higher rates. I for one welcome our wall street over landlords with open arms.

Glad I’m not the only one

Maxx Crosby from the Raiders recently posted a pic with Trump and I was disappointed, but moved on. I’m sure he caught some flack, but probably nowhere near as much as Clark has.

Such a mystery… No way the Kremlin could be responsible, right?

I have one of the ones that can be jailbroken. One day I’ll do it

Yeah, they technically offer breakfast for our kids too, but I’d have to get them ready and to school like 30 minutes early. I don’t do mornings like that.

I read that as “take that from a kid who doesn’t know either system,” and I was about to say are you living under a rock or something?
