Unfortunately, waiting for them to ‘get the message’ is a losing battle. The main issue i find is that non-tech related folks just don’t care enough about this stuff to move to different platform.

I am glad that a lot of people in this thread have figured out the fraud and caught the rogue employee early on. But the reason this fraud is so prevalent is because it works. I have a friend who had someone else go through the interview pr

I am still on the fence on this. On one hand this is a good pro consumer move while also being environmentally friendly but this will likely hinder innovation in the field. If a new way charger standard was found which was a fraction of the

A Raspberry Pi is the perfect playground to get started with self-hosting. It is cheap and barely takes up any physical space. Pi-Hole and bitwarden are simple enough applications that you can host both of them on a pi. Plus there are plent

I would disagree, but it comes down to what kind of manager you have. I have seen plenty of people here on HN say that their 1:1 are basically just a manager going through the motion but there are still many 1:1 who are highly effective. 1:
