cutitdown, to mechanicalkeyboards in Mythic Computer is trying to change the PC world one wood computer at a time. // Thought this was pretty interesting and not solely about the keyboard, but thock is mentioned.

Haha, totally fair. I'll admit I hadn't seen much about cyberdecks and now am a little annoyed by this article. Some questions about the ergonomics on this one for sure, but still worth sharing I suppose.

cutitdown, to news in Analysis | The average doctor in the U.S. makes $350,000 a year. Why?

For sure. Though if you make 350k, you should be able to pay back 200k loans in 2 or 3 years easy.

cutitdown, to tech in Stop using Brave Browser

AI summary:

  • Brave Browser has marketed itself as a privacy-preserving web browser and has gained attention from cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
  • The company behind Brave, founded by Brendan Eich, faced backlash due to Eich's previous donation in support of California's Proposition 8, which aimed to ban same-sex marriage.
  • Brave initially planned to replace ads with its own ad units and split revenue with publishers, but this idea was met with legal issues and criticism from both inside and outside the company.
  • Brave introduced Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) as a way to reward users for viewing ads and content, but the rewards are minimal and the value of BAT is volatile.
  • Brave has incorporated various cryptocurrency-related features, including a full crypto wallet, but many of its crypto partners have faced controversies and scandals.
  • Brave was involved in a privacy scandal in which affiliate codes were added to URLs typed into the address bar, allowing the company to collect revenue from user signups or purchases.
  • The article concludes that Brave is a flawed software project and should not be used, recommending Firefox or Vivaldi as privacy-focused alternatives.
cutitdown, to AskKbin in What something you wish you had done during your 20's?

Agreed. Travel if you can when you're young, or just make sure to not have kids or put it off a while so you can get to a more money-making part of your career and can afford it more without being tied down by children.

cutitdown, to AskKbin in What something you wish you had done during your 20's?

Something in IT is great, I think, and will be applicable to such a variety of fields and allow you to pivot in your career. Once you're progressing in your career, well, I've seen or heard of people making surprising shifts. So much learning for various jobs is really institutional anyways and will happen on the job. Just make sure you learn to well, learn. Always be playing with and learning new tools and processes and be adaptable. For instance, you could start out a developer and find out you like managing projects on your team and finding ways to make things more efficient and wind up a project manager who also understands what your team is talking about and working on.

Yeah, particularly chat in a meeting, it feels so barebones.

cutitdown, to tech in Even Zoom is making staff return to the office now

Curious -- not saying it's great, but I don't think the Zoom UX is much better, personally. What bothers you about Teams, if I might ask?

That's a decent solution, but unfortunately doesn't have handy podcast app features like silence trimming, voice boosting, etc. Great suggestion though!

cutitdown, to AskKbin in Anyone else still kinda miss Reddit?

I'll admit I do. And I won't like, I'll still append "Reddit" to my searches as needed. I'm just not really actively contributing or anything there anymore, which is sad
