@mattspeller said in ZTE Shows Off Immersion Server Liquid Cooling at MWC: I would really need to see this myself to believe it. Even with mineral oil you need some kind of heat spreader. I can see this working no problem with a modest hunk of copper on the CPU but bare? Yikes. sceptical.jpg They show them working with no spreaders on the video. Mineral oil doesn't cool anything like a two phase. It's not "even with mineral oil", because it's among the bad options. It moves heat well, but moves physically very slowly. The two phase moves heat SO quickly.

Worth noting that this was recording some time ago. Now Microsoft's new development platform, Visual Studio Code, has C# and F# support, but support for VB.NET has been dropped in it. This is the first time that MS has actively started to remove VB support from part of its ecosystem. Traditionally it was just kept on the back burner or given as an "extra" example. But now, for the first time, it is actually being left out.

@momurda said in Survey of Fake Jobs SAMIT Video: Anyway to get it to transcribe these to a document whose text you could put underneath your videos? Gotta find an easy way to pretty it up. But I know how to get it now, so I can work on that.

@bbigford said in The Entirely Fake Office SAMIT Video: @scottalanmiller said in The Entirely Fake Office SAMIT Video: @bbigford said in The Entirely Fake Office SAMIT Video: Wow. Yeah, amazing the lengths that companies will go through. The fake office in a verified business with the intent of approaching them... I am lost for words on how messed up that is to lure people in as part of the key deliverables & company resume. Shows how much the clients will potentially pay if the recruiters "own" all viable candidates!

@scottalanmiller said in Job Hunting is Like Online Dating SAMIT Video: I can see a podcast mechanism being very handy. I like podcasts on an old fashioned MP3 player with no Internet myself. I can offer to make the podcast on this.

@scottalanmiller said in How to Spot Fake Job Postings SAMIT Video: Youtube Video Fake job postings are sometimes pretty hard to spot. But there are a lot of signs that can help us identify common fake jobs. The truth about this had me gut rolling in the car the other day. Great video.

@wrx7m said in Comparing IT Buyers and IT Pros: @scottalanmiller said in Comparing IT Buyers and IT Pros: @wrx7m said in Comparing IT Buyers and IT Pros: What if you are both? lol That's a hard aspect of it, there is almost always overlap. Not always, but especially in the SMB there is often quite a bit. Any SMB IT Pro will have to buy regularly. Many buyers do IT work on smaller scales so as not to have to go through the process of buying something simple. Yeah, I am an IT pro that has to buy. At some point, all pros have to buy sometimes. Heck even General Motors buys some of their parts from the outside!

@pmoncho said in Past Bad Decisions Do Not Justify Bad Decisions Today SAMIT Video: @dustinb3403 said in Past Bad Decisions Do Not Justify Bad Decisions Today SAMIT Video: @pmoncho said in Past Bad Decisions Do Not Justify Bad Decisions Today SAMIT Video: Unfortunately, sometimes the best answer/decision today becomes a bad decision tomorrow. Then it clearly wasn't the best decision at the time. If you are evaluating a system today, and it does everything you could ever need and then some. It cost a nominal amount of money to implement compared to the competition and you go with that solution. That isn't a bad decision. In 3 years there could be a way better system that exist and costs even less and offers more. But you needed a system 3 years ago not 3 years in the future. You picked the best solution for the organization that was available at the time. "At the time" is the key phrase. A boss could say, "Why didn't you look to the future and only see the present? You wasted my money because you didn't look out far enough" That then makes it a bad decision even though it could have been the best smart logical decision ever. I'm not saying its right, just that the boss could say it. I am in agreement that we do our best to make the best decision based on info we have at the time. That still opens the door to a previously best decision becoming a bad decision. That's just the boss making a different bad decision now
