Then your profile sucks. Mine did, too.

I made my profile look like my resume. And then tweaked it until the inmail I got was for jobs I wanted.

Part of it comes down to knowing how to write a good resume, the other part is gaming the keywords so your profile shows up in a good recruiter's results.

I still responded to every single message though because I'm pretty sure engagement metrics makes you more/less visible to prospective recruiters.

LinkedIn should be looking for jobs for you.

If you set up your profile correctly, LinkedIn will function as your agent and bring YOU job leads.

At least that's how I used it.

I have too many...I'll pick my favorite lessons as they're all kind of related

Don't stay at a job too long. Eventually, you'll be training a new hire that makes more than you and they'll probably be your replacement.

It only takes a couple promotions before your career development stagnates usually because you'll always be seen as the person you were when you started. Get a new job elsewhere with a title higher than the place you left and that becomes your new baseline. Repeat every few years.

If you want to earn more money, get a new job. Bonuses magically dry up. And your yearly performance increase won't ever keep up with inflation. Even lateral moves at a different company can mean decent salary inceease as market rate changes over time. (This doesn't always work with a lateral move so shoot for a higher position).

Don't sweat the specifics for job requirements in postings. They're not expecting someone that hits every bullet point. That would be dream candidate that doesn't exist. If you're at least familiar with what they're asking for and can pick it up, then you're good. Most of the time you're trained on the job anyway. Just demonstrate you're competent.

(Oops didn't realize this was a CS / programming community. Hopefully some of this still applies)

That case doesn't look very protective. But I bet that kickstand would be useful. The only thing I put on my SD was a Deckmate (now Mechanism) system and their kickstand.

Didn't even put a screen protector on it which I do for everything. Mostly because I got the OG 512GB model with the etched glass and any protector is going to make the matte glass glossy.

I saved a multi-million $ project from going down the toilet and jeopardizing a whole bunch of client contracts. I was rewarded with a demotion when the company was acquired months later.

But buying a second printer would make my current 2yr investment a waste so savings would be a wash.

Also I do need color sometimes making the HP the better value until they start charging more for color.

Definitely will consider it when this printer dies though.

I choose to use Instant Ink because I don't print a lot and it still beats buying the carts. HP ships them to me for free and automatically before I run out and gives me return postage for the empties to be recycled.

They also don't have different rates for B/W and Color so I just print everything in color.

I dont stress over $1/mo (or $1.50/mo if this increase hits me). I've had this printer for 2yrs on the cheapest plan and I've still not paid the full price of a set of cartridges.

I'm sure I'll be down votes for saying anything positive about the program but whatever. It works fine for me.

Of course they disable the cartridge. You're paying for ink on a subscription. If you didn't pay for cart in full, why should you be able to use the rest of it? That's literally what you signed up for. Otherwise everyone would get a full cartridge for $1.

If you don't want to do ink-cart-layaway, don't sign up and buy the cartridge.

Disabling mid-month is a scam though.

I don't think Newpipe is available on GoogleTV, but I could be wrong. You can log into your Google account with SmartTube so it functions more like the YouTube app with adding to your watch history, keeping your subs synced, and getting recommendations in the GoogleTV UI on top of having sponsorblock. It's more like Vanced than Newpipe.

Great! So I can't use a hitbox on street fighter or my choice of racing/flight sim rig in games that aren't first person shooters because of a problem that affects a genre I'm not even playing.

What a great solution that's not far-reaching, extremely heavy handed, and has a great potential for Microsoft to milk customers and small businesses alike! /s

A lot of devices are just adapters to allow you to play fighting, racing sim, flight sim, rhythm games with controllers from other platforms because these niche genres are even smaller on Xbox and go completely ignored by large accessories companies.

That's not going to change once these devices are blocked. It's a very heavy handed (and potentially lucrative) approach to stopping FPS cheaters.

They were making strides with the FGC getting SF6 and adding Guilty Gear Strive to Gamepass and then do this. Makes no sense.

I don't disagree with anything you're saying, but I'm talking about new cars. Outside of profiting off of EV rebates as someone else mentioned, I don't know of anyone buying new cars to flip. Which is why talking to people about immediate depreciation seems silly to me.
