My employer just suspended all 401(k) matching and pay increases for "the remainder of the 2025" (lol, it's not coming back anytime soon) due to rising costs and uncertainties. Our CEO vocally supported the administration that is directly responsible for said uncertainties, so thanks, dumbass.

28 days after asking this question, I pulled the trigger on a 1 TB OLED Steam Deck last night. This sucker is gonna slay my backlog.

Hey Microsoft, cool trick getting AI to build a fake replica of Quake II, a game I enjoyed <checks watch> 30 fucking years ago. For its next trick, can your AI please build a fake replica of other stuff from the '90s, like hope and satisfaction and a world that wasn't burning in hell?

I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.

I haven't really been interested in Nintendo hardware since the N64 (despite owning a Switch) but damn, the Switch 2 looks pretty tasty.

After having a convo with my boss about how confusing recent instructions have been, I had my role described to me as basically this: "We want you to be the guy who can take really unclear business requirements and no technical details and figure it all out across 6 different teams."

An auto industry exec said "loss of product variety" is one of the common losses from tariffs. The tariffs are fucking dumb, but I have to ask: WHAT product variety? Every damn vehicle on the market is an SUV or truck (or priced beyond anyone's reach, or both). I'm never buying a new car again.

I’m about to try to run four DDR5 sticks on a Z790 board. Wonder if there are any spells I need to cast first.

I just went off-call for nights, the weather is nice, and the week is coming to an end. Feels like a good time for some tacos, some Blake's 7, and another playthrough of Selaco.

What is this fresh hell on Facebook where everybody is posting links to articles but they only post the link in the comments? I’m sure it’s to drive engagement on the post itself and make a number go up somewhere, but it’s infuriating.
