WINDOWS USER VS LINUX USER

A Windows User's view on computing

I have the blue screen of death again
You'll never hear me say
I'm happy with my computer
At the end of the day
my operating system
dictates
my choice
in programs i use and the features I've
i have complete control
over nothing
i lose sleep
worrying about getting viruses
and
microsoft patching vulnerabilities in time
i don't have time to think about
some thing better.
i've learned
to live with old software issues
There's no way i'm planning
to change, and
its worth it to me

I just wanted to show what i built.
Devrant meet projector clock.

It uses atmega and one generic 7x5 LED matrix and some rtc chip.

It projects current time on the wall opposite in scroll manner.

I also want to add internet connectivity to it next. So as to show reminders and slack notifications. Work is on for that thing.

(If you want to build one here is the code

I want to build my lab at home, a useful lab, what can I buy to make a lab that I will use almost everyday please? I already have MacBook pro, an HP elitebook on OPENSUSE, my main gaming computer on Windows, a Raspberry Pi, tons of cables and a bit of money. Can you help me to find?

From today, this beauty is 'ticking' on my desk :D

Found it in a comment somewhere on devrant (i forgot who posted originally, but this is me giving credit)

A young guy I work with burst into tears today, I had no idea what happened so I tried to comfort him and ask what was up.

It appears his main client had gone nuts with him because they wanted him to make an internet toolbar (think Ask.com) and he politely informed them toolbars doesn't really exist anymore and it wouldn't work on things like modern browsers or mobile devices.

Being given a polite but honest opinion was obviously something the client wasn't used to and knowing the guy was a young and fairly inexperienced, they started throwing very personal insults and asking him exactly what he knows about things (a lot more than them).

So being the big, bold, handsome senior developer I am, I immediately phoned the client back and told them to either come speak to me face-to-face and apologise to him in person or we'd terminate there contract with immediate effect. They're coming down tomorrow...

So part my rant, part a rant on behalf of a young developer who did nothing wrong and was treated like shit, I think we've all been there.

We'll see how this goes! Who the hell wants a toolbar anyway?!

I want this, very badly, very sorely, very much, I want this a lot

Say hello to my new friend!

Since when I discovered codepen.io, everyday I watch the picked pens to discover new cool things and feel more and more ignorant. Do you have a codepen account? I want to see yours

I love how "minimal" devRant is.

No username, no time... just the number of likes and number of comments ..

I asked head of department if he knew what salting/hashing passwords was and he said no.... is this real life?

Google Chrome on Mac OS has been updated... How does the interface looks?

Boss: Ah good! Good to see you're hard at work.
