Despite putting in extra effort, most employees don't think they are receiving enough praise. I think you're doing great. kudos!

I think a big part of people doesn't only need praise for doing a good job, they do need respect even when maybe not so well ended... having to combine kids, home office and more in a flat without proper dedicated space and similar things...
That's way harder than many thing. So...
Kudos³ for all of you

When my boss used to praise me, I'd wonder what was wrong/really going on/what he wanted.

With the emergence of the Chia cryptocurrency, miners in China are reportedly frantically snatching up every hard drive and SSD they can find. You didn't need one anyway
That explains the empty shelves next to the empty shelves for graphics cards

So-called cryptocurrencies should really be named potlatch currencies.
Quote: A potlatch involves giving away or destroying wealth or valuable items in order to demonstrate a leader's wealth and power.
Isn't this exactly what cryptocurrency "mining" does?

If only they were so benign.
With their Proof of Pollution mining algorithms scamcoin filth have utterly destroyed the market for GPUs of any sort; making it nearly impossible to buy a card for its intended purpose.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yeah, it sucks. I will now have a monster of PC with a 6 or 7 year old 2GB NVida Graphic card because no way I am going to pay 2x or more the normal price for a new one (and that supposed I find a day where they are not out of stock)

One problem with this is that you need fairly advanced technology to be able to sequence DNA, and therefore this method can only be used to communicate with advanced civilizations. It could not be used, for example, to restart civilization after a collapse to barbarism.
One way around this would be to encode the instructions for building the DNA sequencer on something non-perishable and easily read with low technology (e.g. large monoliths), with a pointer to the DNA cache. How to make the plans comprehensible to the intelligent barbarian is left as an exercise for the alert reader.

If a co-worker was to spontaneously combust (à la Garth Marenghi's Darkplace) in your office, what you might expect to one day slough off the ceiling and slap atop your computer screen would be this anthropomorphic webcam No, I don't think it would. Nope. Uh-uh. No how.

I don't know why, but I would have expected this being posted by OG in his "IoT Crap" series in the lounge...
yeah, I know, that doesn't necessarily fall into IoT... but still connected to the internet and crappy (and creepy) enough
