  • I’ve never heard a good engineer ever say “let’s use an unnecessary amount of material”, usually engineers say “this is what you need to achieve the goal and this is why…”. Then management adds contingency while trying to also cut cost, then the project manager orders material too early to drive revenue and it expires or get lost, then the crew always has waste, the list goes on.

    Efficient engineering is rarely the problem, but if there’s a tool that reliably makes my job easier and faster then sure, bring it on

  • I really want a powerful miniPC to replace my Rokus and also play 80% of my library. But $1100 for the 512gb without a controller is a hard pill to swallow. I can get an equivalent laptop for about the same price or less, and it’s still portable.

    Microcenter $1200

    I reserved a 512gb and a 2tb, but I may hold out for the Frame. I fell like Valve should rethink the strategy, because there are a lot of console gamers that would break into the market if the price is right, $1,100 is too high. Especially since it still won’t be able to play games with anti-cheat, so most of the competitive games aren’t even an option.
