Mark Hurd, another former ceo, sexually harassed anything moved.

HP’s ceo hires have been…interesting. They’ve all been pretty bad.

I beg to differ.

The old LaserJet 4s, 5s, the IIs and IIIs, the 8000 series, all those were great, well built printers with metal frames and heavy duty parts. They were made to last.

We still have a LaserJet 5M that prints reports hooked up to an airgapped Linux server. The printer never breaks down or needs anything more than toner. Yes, it’s slow. Amusingly slow. The page count is over 250k. The fuser is starting to ghost but it’s easily replaced. We just don’t care enough to do it right now. The printer doesn’t care.

Try this with any printer built after the Fiorina era and you’d be hard pressed to.

I’m all ears if you have a specific model in mind that was shit before Carly. Because, before her, HP was an industry leader. Now it’s cheap plastic junk, and it’s squarely on her failure as CEO that led to the company’s demise.

Carly Fiorina destroyed HP. She tanked product quality by using cheap plastic parts instead of metal and she can’t manage people. She’s a terrible leader and on a personal level she’s just not right in the head, as she embraces trumpism, is racist, elitist, etc.

Big city mandatory valet comes to my mind.

Sorry, but your questions are difficult to understand. Could you please clarify what you are researching? The fediverse isn’t some metaphysical thing.

What is your curiosity?

The System applet side by side with the legacy Control Panel sucks so bad. Is that setting here, there, or everywhere? Want to combine task bar icons? Fuck you, we haven’t rewritten that part yet.

I’ve been using a pihole exclusively for years on my Ubiquiti network at home. Combined with Wireguard, it’s a stable, easy ad-blocking solution. I’ve never even considered moving from it, seeing how well pihole Just Works.

I don’t get it either. I always try to stay invisible, out of the way, and polite. I think there’s people that just have to be at the center of the universe, whether that universe is the restroom, subway car, CHURCH…

And wash your hands you disgusting, filthy boomers. Jfc.

Many, many reasons why employers hate unions, right here. It’s not impossible for employers to commit wage theft with a union but it’s a hell of a lot more difficult if the union is keeping an eye on things.

I have opened up devices to physically remove the led. SMD LEDs stand no chance against a steady hand and a precision flathead screwdriver.

With a pair of jumper cables?

I love this story! By the choice of words you use I can tell you two were close.
