@ChaosTheEternal Mouse packed up for return.
Switched back to the fallback mouse, but I figured I'd try to clean the wheel component again (with alcohol this time due to finding one suggestion of using WD40 instead of "cleaning" with compressed air as people repeatedly suggested) and... the mouse wheel is like 99% better. Lot fewer cases of it scrolling up after when scrolling the wheel down, and when it does, it's a lot less of a jump back up.
If I'd just done that months ago, I likely wouldn't have switched mice.

iOS 14.0.1 update just bricked my work phone. And apparently Apple doesn't do the thing with A/B slots that my Android phone does and just roll back to the last known good configuration when the update fails to boot a few times.
Apple is kind of bullshit.

Well, since it won't boot now and unlike my old one, doesn't have a model number on the back, I have no idea. It's the iPhone Work

You're trying to pass an array of strings as a string. I really really really hope it's a missing
[i]
and not something you actually intended.

Every time the moderator said, "In this segment, we're going to talk about X," they proceeded to talk about everything but X. I won't get into actual content, because that's definitely
fodder.

@DogsB That's always fun. I've had four, arguably five, jobs like that in my career. They never end well. Hired with no clear plan, mistaken for a mind reader, government...
To the extent that there's any value in my opinion: Surf on your phone with your data plan. It doesn't matter how little you have to do or how innocuous the content is (like reading MSDN docs or something), you will hear "excessive personal internet use" in your unemployment hearing.

status My Ubuntu (18.04) is offering 20.04 as an update. WTF, it's a VM - let's see what happens.
also status Turned on my Mac - of course, there's another 8.77M Xcode update. And a 3G OS update (the progress bar is at about 10% and it says "About a minute remaining" - LOL. Fuckers.)
edit: 45 minutes later, I think the bar has progressed a couple pixels. Still at "About a minute remaining".

Over here, it's hard to fire someone without cause. But it's commonly known that once they decide to start building a file, they'll unavoidably find enough to fire you with.

You should start a debate thread about it.

The recent update was broken. Something went horribly wrong with the Groovy plugins (which include weird patches to the base system). They've not fixed them yet. The developers of the Groovy stuff are incompetent.
