@hazardwarning I can see why. I never got around to watch it, even though I had known its existence due to that song.
Watched an old horror movie The Masque of the Red Death [imdb.com] because some dialog of it was used in a song I really, really like. It was decent, not that great by modern standards but good for a movie from that era (mid-60s).
@peemee I guess one could say so. Also, if the WiFi connection keep failing my quality screening, I need to think about using an alternative connection.
Today I had to fight with WiFi at the customer premises. The connection just seemed to pump up and down constantly. It turned out that the root cause for these problems was the external monitor the laptop was connected to. If I disconnected it, the connection was rock solid. I swapped the monitor with a colleague (who has used it before), let's see if the connection stays up for the whole day tomorrow.
@phoneboy A tool with limited capabilities, to be precise. Which makes the tools, as @larand so nicely called them, complain that it can't do everything what they want as fast as they want even though it eventually does it within the given limitations.
In the end, technology is just a tool. That doesn't prevent humans from attaching so much more meaning to it.
@streakmachine People like to complain how the web service APIs (read: iCloud) are difficult to get working, but based on what I have read once you get it right it just works™ perfectly. Google's offerings, on the other hand, seem to be easy to get working, but there are a lot things that need to be just right before they work as they should.
Apple doesn't get (online) services! Oh wait, did I say Apple, I meant Google…
Spent the afternoon banging my head against the keyboard just because 2 Google services can't talk to each other due to version mismatch. And I can't update the one that should be because it's running on an emulator and you simply can't do that. Why? Because Google reasons. #fuckthisshit
@kdfrawg Yes, but assuming that the number of external events going down just for the sake of San Jose not being San Francisco is just plain stupid in my opinion.
