Greenland plans to ban foreign political funding over Trump-led election fears by realitista in c/world@lemmy.world
[-] realitista@lemm.ee 74 points 1 week ago

Even local political funding should be banned. Elections should be funded by the state with each candidate getting the same amount of exposure.

Not only that, but Errol Musk, Elon's father has been quoted that he read the book and named Elon after this character. And Elon's grandfather was a member of a pro-Hitler fascist group in the '30s and '40s.

Smart devices are turning out to be a poor investment by realitista in c/technology@lemmy.world
[-] realitista@lemm.ee 86 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Anyone who's serious about home automation eventually realizes that the only way to do it effectively is with locally controlled standards based devices like zwave and zigbee, and open source projects like home assistant and esp32.

Anything else will eventually be corrupted or abandoned by its corporate sponsor, as anyone who's tried it the other way can tell you.

$300 Vision Pro developer strap is just an expensive USB2 device by realitista in c/technology@lemmy.world

It's hilarious how Apple still insists on making all their mobile devices USB 2. Have they not cracked the code for USB 3 after 11 years?

Ticketmaster/Live Nation is one of the most blatant monopolies in all of history. They should be torn to shreds.

Bold idea here, but maybe if we stopped fucking subsidizing SUV's, people wouldn't buy so goddamn many of them. Just a thought.

USB-C hubs and my slow descent into madness - Dennis Schubert by realitista in c/technology@lemmy.world
[-] realitista@lemm.ee 76 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I miss the days where you could just buy something from Logitec or Hayes or Gravis or CH Products and know it was not garbage just because the brand could be trusted. Finding a trustable brand these days seems super hit or miss. You'll get a great item and then the next one will be some cheap china garbage that dies in 4 months.

An e-commerce CEO is getting absolutely roasted online for laying off 90% of his support staff, after an AI chatbot outperformed them by realitista in c/technology@lemmy.world
[-] realitista@lemm.ee 88 points 2 years ago

I've worked in customer service software companies for the last 30 years, and one thing I can tell you is that average handle time is not a good metric to decide your success or failure on.

Having a low average handle time is easy. Just hang up on the customer. Or show them quickly that you won't do shit for them so that they hang up on you.

How about showing us those customer satisfaction and first call resolution scores?
