glarf@lemmy.worldOPto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Best Buy Membership "discount"English3·1 year agoMicrocenter doesn’t sell fridges, unfortunately. However, I have been pretty pleased with them since Fry’s is out of then picture. That was a rough couple of years.
glarf@lemmy.worldOPto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Best Buy Membership "discount"English34·1 year agoSome less tired viewers have correctly pointed out that the “warranty” was added for a price and discounted in the cart, as well as free delivery. Perhaps, if you don’t find the UI misleading like I did, this isn’t a bad thing.
glarf@lemmy.worldOPto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Best Buy Membership "discount"English18·1 year agoBack when they introduced their marketplace, I found an extremely good deal. Thinking it was too good to be true, but cheap enough to say “what the heck,” I bought it anyway. Fast forward a week and I received a completely different item than what was described (no surprise, to be honest) in the listing. Naturally, I reached out to customer service for a refund because the item I received was not as advertised. To my surprise, Newegg refused to refund me the whole amount even though they acknowledged the listing was essentially a scam, so I back charged through my credit card. Then, they banned my account. I had been an avid supporter of the company and built many computers from things purchased there, up until that complete joke of a refund process.
Newegg died the day they sold out way back in the 2010s, screw that horrible customer service.

glarf@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Late-night shooting at popular outdoor mall in Miami suburb leaves two dead, 7 injuredEnglish115·1 year agoYeah, so I guess we should just change nothing, right?
/s in case it wasn’t blatantly obvious we are in desperate need of changing gun laws.

Also my USB hubs wouldn’t work this morning until I power cycled everything a few times. What fun!

How lame.

glarf@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•What is your favorite programming language?132·2 years agoRuby! It’s a wonderful language with a fantastic community, mature frameworks, and active development on performance and core features.
glarf@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•What was your experience climbing the career ladder in tech?511·2 years agoI don’t think titles directly transfer between companies, and yet the industry allows it. It’s a very useful tool for advancement.
Time on the job does not equate to skill. Some jobs force you to figure shit out that other jobs simply never expose you to. Other jobs expose you to lots of busywork and that isn’t going to make you a better engineer either.
I’ve met senior engineers with 3 years that are significantly more useful than senior engineers with 10 years. Individual motivation and willingness to learn matter the most to me.
I have used the ladder to my advantage and advise others to do the same. It’s a game, you don’t win by not playing.

Fold 4 daily driver. It’s easily my favorite phone since my motoX many years ago. I can’t imagine going back to a non-foldable. Looking at floorplans, videos, documents, photos, you name it is so much nicer on a small tablet vs a phone screen. I’ll absolutely be getting another foldable when I’m done with this one.
