Amazon will do same-day delivery on a bunch of stuff if you're in an area where it's available. You can order shit while you're at work and have it dropped off at your house by the time you're home without having to stop at a store.

I don't live where same-day is available, but even ordering for pickup at brick and mortar adds 20+ minutes to my commute. A few minutes out of the way, waiting at the store, and hitting multiple traffic lights both ways isn't a negligible amount of time.

    At work we buy workstation laptops for our engineers. From Dell, the exact same laptop cost $3,200 in January, $4,400 in April, and $5,900 as of mid-May.

    We're just not buying them and instead shopping different brands.

    The AI bubble has absolutely fucked pricing for computers.

    Saw this article from Microslop the other day about their MDASH copilot model competing with Mythos for bug finding/fixing.

    And here's the image they went with for the flowchart of what the AI does... Complete with overlapping text and the worst layout I've ever seen.

    Zero humans proofed this.

    I think enterprise is the least affected.

    Win11 installs are done with Autopilot. Users log in with their company MS accounts and if admins need access they log in with the LAPS account.

    Enterprise moved away from local accounts even before COVID.

    It's because that's an impact rated bit. They have a thinner section that flexes a little bit to prevent the bits from shattering when used in an impact driver. All the different brands like to put a little ring with their colors on the torsion zone.
