6TB SSD, ~90TB HDD (actually ~120, but the rest is parity).

Photo editing storage gets intense when modern cameras are taking lossless RAW images at 20fps. Video editing storage is honestly just insane to begin with.

Games are a few hundred GB on the SSDs

No matter what you drive, it’s still not hard to be better than all the people who stall traffic because they don’t realize they can squeeze through a gap about 4 feet wider than their car so we can actually pre fill the turn lane while the light’s red.

Nor is it hard to actually know to accelerate smoothly through a turn instead of braking through it.

Or to know how to just stay in your clearly marked turn lane during your turn (literally marked through the entire intersection) instead of cutting off the other two turn lanes (this happened to me yesterday).

None of these things are actually much harder to do in a large car than a sports car, just obviously your actual speed and acceleration should change based on your car, tires, and everything else. I use the same principles I use when driving a fun car to help drive safely when it’s a minivan.

Last year a company I wowed at the first interview didn’t follow up. When I asked why, they said that since Facebook was slowing hiring, they were too.

They’re not even related businesses other than both broadly being tech companies.

Already commented on another, but my understanding is that water flossing isn’t as good at removing plaque as actual floss, since it isn’t as directly abrasive. It’s great if you wouldn’t floss normally otherwise, but migrating from flossing regularly to only water flossing regularly is a downgrade in dental hygiene.

I’m pretty sure studies have been done that show it doesn’t have the abrasive power of actual floss, so it’s not as good at removing plaque. Fine at removing solids generally, which helps, but actual floss tends to be better.

Remote power generation becomes much more useful since you can eliminate transmission losses. Things like covering the Sahara with solar panels to sell energy to Europe become possible to think about.

Ask the experts from help, and learn from them. Don’t ask things you can legitimately learn really easily on your own by just doing a quick read of the code, but the bar for questions to not be stupid is pretty low. In most projects with any complexity, it’s probably overall saving the company money if you ask someone who knows and can save you time, instead of wasting a ton of your time reaching the same conclusion. But next time that problem comes up, you should know how to solve it, so it saves everyone time.

Oh nice, that’s what I get for not reading it

Complete speculation on my part, but privacy laws? My understanding is that in the US, broadly speaking, you have a right to privacy where it would be reasonably expected, which I’ve usually heard defined as places you can’t easily see from the sidewalk. If my understanding is true, then this would be an invasion of privacy just like some creep standing on a ladder peeping on people in their high fenced backyards, and there are generally laws against such behavior.

Yeah, after they stopped I decided to try a Pixel for the fun of it. So far I hate it. Debating between trying Apple now that they’re being forced to use USB C, or just going back to Samsung next year…

There was a couple years where I could trade in last year’s Samsung for like $100 below the cost of the new phone, and they’d give me $250 in accessories with that. It was honestly just the cheapest option for a bit.

Windows 10. Would migrate to Linux, but between Adobe software and abusing the personal unlimited backup (specifically not enabled for Linux due to power users) from Backblaze it just makes more sense to stay right now.
