Being anticapitalist today. Had a Blu-ray player that refused to play discs. "No user serviceable parts inside" is a warning heeded by cowards. Found these two bad capacitors: one leaking and one bulging. #electronics #repair #fixIt

I've now applied for 84 jobs since January. I've had two interviews. No offers. Since tech jobs are thin and unemployment is running out, I've been applying for bartending jobs locally. Today I left my resume at 7 breweries with tap rooms and offered home brew. Got one "maybe in a few weeks". Here's my resume:

Dear Google - kindly and sincerely, get fucked. In 2013 we built a new house and installed Nest thermostats in each of the 3 HVAC zones because we wanted the house to be energy efficient. A year ago, one of the thermostats got bumped so I replaced it. The same model wasn't available so I took what I could get. This thermostat has a serious bug - when heating, about once a month it would call for heat and never shut it off. There have been no firmware updates and none scheduled. Recently you announced that these thermostats are no longer supported by the Nest app. You "generously" offered discounts on current models. Yeah...no. I got three refurbished ecobee thermostats for less than 2 of your replacements. Isn't your mantra supposed to be "don't be evil?" Clearly that ship has sailed. #internetOfShit #enshittification #google
