All for a 2 paragraph article, i spent longer unchecking the fucking boxes

Content never really dies, it’s just recycled to lower and lower tiers.

As an engineer i hate both, technical sales never have an understanding of their product and are never able to answer any of my questions (because i’ve read through the datasheet as their words are meaningless to me) but they are mooooorrrreee than happy to schedule an in person meeting to come to my office and show me their product line.

Tell me what i want to know or find me someone who can, im not going to buy 10,000 of whetever if i cant even determine if they will work for my use case.

The last time i had to deal with one of these assholes it took 3 phone calls and 2 emails to get a simple answer which wasnt in their datasheet, which was all of one page long.

My favorite experience with technical sales is we had these component guys come in, they had openned up our product and wanted to show how much better their “equivalent” components were (genuinely a great idea), but they had no context as to what the components were being used for so they all fell flat.

In my experience both are only a waste of my time.

Yes i am a “monthly” user of facebook. I log on about once a month as the strata for my building foes basically everything through facebook.

I look at it like internet explorer a few years ago, it has its claws in everything and its just easier to keep using than for people to find an alternative that satisfys everyone.

Discounting VPNs for a moment…

What if one person made an account with ID and then the entirety of the country just happened to know the login?

This is what i have to do to log into microsoft fuckin teams on my work laptop when i work from home…

1. Unencrypt my laptop hardrive
2. Log into my OS
3. Log into the VPN
4. Log into teams
5. Use the authenticator app on my phone to enter the code that is on my screen
6. Use my fingerprint on my phone to verify that i am the person using my phone…

Step 5 was introduced a few months ago because the other steps weren’t secure enough. This is why half my colleagues aren’t available when they work from home…

I suggested that we just use slack as our work chat and leave teams as a red herring to dissapoint extremely talented hackers.
