@quinn The programmer is driving a bunch of us to lunch, and we come to an at grade RR crossing with automatic gates and signals
The programmer STOPS the car, rolls down the windows, looks carefully then crosses the track
when we all say: you don't have to do that, there are automatic signals, he says

I look both ways too, despite rail safety systems being rated for a dangerous failure of ≥ 10−9 to < 10−8 per hour.

@quinn I have been trying to find the original meme of this tweet for a long time. The search still continues.
@unsungnovelty so it was on old Twitter, and it's probably still there, but the account went private a while ago -- looks Trump related going private to ignore Elon's stupid fash

@quinn Ray was a great guy. I'm so glad that I met him. We shall never see his like again.
@lauren it's so nice when your heroes are actually awesome. The pulled up socks and shorts will always kill me.

An acquaintance of mine had what he called the Sony adjustment tool.
It was a sledgehammer kept in the corner of his computer room

@quinn This comes from a 2017 Tumblr post.
Edit: Or at least that is where I first saw it! It could be older.

@quinn I find it somewhat ironic that this guy tweeted this in 2019 and since then became one of the biggest elon bootlickers on the internet

@quinn Out of all the pieces of hardware to keep, this person kept their printer???
Those things are constantly trying to call home and rewire themselves to keep you from using unapproved ink. That's the official story of what they're doing anyway--who even knows if that's true. They're like the last thing I'd keep around. You can go to the library and use a printer. You probably have to anyway because you're out of ink. You just bought ink yesterday but you're out.
WTF with the printer?
@crazyeddie @quinn that's beyond the point. How — I ask — can you use a printer when that's the only piece of tech you have in your house?

@Homempovo @crazyeddie what the hell are y'all taking about? It's a funny joke about tech experts vs tech enthusiasts, let it be funny

@quinn @crazyeddie I know, I was just messing with him cause he missed the point of the joke and then missed the point of the objection as well lol

@quinn @ianbetteridge I ridicule people who talk about their “smart” devices or “smart homes.”
“Cool! What are you planning to do when the company goes bankrupt or discontinues support for them?”

We should all just stop creating things we probably will need to kill, and not start doing any more of them.

Nope. No sane tech worker keeps a printer in their house. Tech workers already had enough diagnosing printers in workplace.
