From my understanding, a lot of the products on amazon are resellers that buy stuff from alibaba and then resell it at a markup so it would not surprise me if that was the case.

They all looked the same when i was last on there searching for one.

I bought a dehumidifier off amazon that was "rated" for 800 sq ft.

Not only did it not live up to that promise, but it also served as the worlds shittiest ice maker. Ice formed on the radiator inside and stoped it from dehumidifying the air.

Thats right, you too can have a ice maker that makes ice in the shape of a radiator while ineffectively dehumidifying your home!

Best part was they reached out after I left a one star review and what they could do to change my rating.

I said "Nothing. Make a better product"

I wish they wouldn't do that. If i have to hear about Southern New Hampshire University again I'm gonna hurt somebody.

If I agree to free thing and have to watch ads, aight fine.

But at least make them different man, i hate that they play the same one over and over again. It does not make me want to buy your product.

Shocked i tell you. I am shocked.

No way an app would collect data it doesnt need. Preposterous.

Next thing you'll tell me is that tiktok is doing the same thing!

Yea thats part of the reason I said generally. As I said, newer to linux and still learning but flatpaks can be more secure because they are sandboxed is my understanding.

That said, you're not wrong to point it out. Sandboxes arent the be all end all to security of course. Any security is defeated if the end user doesn't use logic and practice saftey when it comes to downloading any software.

Oh man, this show was my jam when i was growing up. This and samurai jack were so cool.

I was really glad that samurai jack got a reboot/ending but for Dexter, since it was more episodic and didn't really have an overarching plot, I'm cool with it just being what it is.

Thats actually why i stopped to look at this cause i thought for a sec they rebooted this and feared id get more of my childhood ruined.

I've seen good answers here but I just wanted to chime in as I'm a newer Linux user and as I'm learning more from running Fedora as my daily driver instead of Windows, I'm learning a lot and hope to help others learn as well.

Typically, most common software that you want to use will be in the repo for your distro or in a flatpak of some kind. If you're downloading from your distributions repo, your typically not going to encounter viruses. Flatpaks are also generally safe as theyre sandboxed so the interactions they have with your system are generally read only.

That said, still use caution. Don't run commands that you find online unless you know what they do, use ublock like you mentioned you already do, only download software from trusted sources and use the checksum to verify the files integrity and safety.

From the sound of it, you're already doing what you should be, just wanted to add this if there were any other very new users with similar concerns about viruses.

From what I can see just from a quick google, its in reference to a tiktok.

"What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?"

One of the women immediately answered in her Southern accent and laughed:

"Oh, you gotta give him that 'hawk tuah' and spit on that thing, you get me?"

88 x 8TB drives? 704 TB of storage?

You got a whole damn data center lol. Good stuff dude. Was this off of ebay or direct from a company? I'm curious to know the total cost.

My advice? Sounds like you could use some therapy. Genuinely therapy is really helpful for sorting out these issues.

You sound like you may be dealing with more than just burn out. Of course im not a medical professional and i dont know you well enough to really make any fair assessment but just talking things out with someone would likely be beneficial.

If you can't afford therapy, talking things out with a friend may help as well but as they wont be trained to deal with this, it may or may not be helpful. It can help but its not a replacement for professional help unfortunately. I speak from experience but ymmv.

I worked in CS so i know it sucks. I hope things get better for you.

If you're company isn't profitable enough that it has to underpay its workers to profit then your company should fail. UPS is huge. Theres no way they cant afford it.

Pay your workers a decent wage you philistine.
