@terryaney @SamsungUS We just found out that by bumping freezer temperature from 0F to 1F fixed (unclogged) the ice maker. Hair drier alone wasn't working. So looks like a thermostat problem. Maybe it also works for you

@RickDrizin @SamsungUS SMH - mine is older...10 years...but for last 6 years, about 2x a year I have to empty it completely out and defrost the back cooling unit that is a complete frozen block of ice. So frustrating.

Hey @SamsungUS I have your most expensive refrigerator, the ice maker broke under 3 years (it's a common problem, there's even a lawsuit for that issue) and your support is referring me to a service company that has only 1-star reviews. Should I throw it away and get a Whirlpool?

@techxutkarsh For anyone interested, just google the ebook. drive.google.com/file/d/1-5ho2a…

A senior Google engineer just dropped a 421-page doc called Agentic Design Patterns. Every chapter is code-backed and covers the frontier of AI systems: → Prompt chaining, routing, memory → MCP & multi-agent coordination → Guardrails, reasoning, planning This isn’t a blog post. It’s a curriculum. And it’s free.

There’s a German saying: “Those who can read have a clear advantage.” (“Wer lesen kann, ist klar im Vorteil.”) When someone spends time writing instructions, it’s because they believe those instructions will be helpful and save unnecessary effort. So don’t be lazy - RTFM 🥸

Now I'm feeling represented! #colorblind

I have some friends who get excited when AI assistant renders 10k lines, but that just makes me nervous. What would make me excited would be AI *deleting* 1000 lines.

@terryaney I just took a quick look and I'm not using Microsoft.CodeAnalysis. Yeah, I've never built a changelog, sorry. I know I should...

@RickDrizin Although I do have a question. Not seeing a 'change log' in repo. Am I missing or do I just read commits to figure out what's new?

@RickDrizin Was trying to upgrade from .net7 -> 8. Long overdue. When I changed Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore* 7.0.20 -> 8.0.22 I could no longer compile with warnings about package mismatch. Believe copilot?

@terryaney @SamsungUS Oh, thanks for the clarification. I wasn't even aware of this back panel. Do you have to disassemble it like the video? Or just powering the fridge off will defrost it?

@RickDrizin @SamsungUS You mean the back panel right? That's what I mean. I was going to find pic/vid to show you and found this. Shows panel, but watching vid myself now, lol. youtube.com/watch?v=l5beJp…

@davidfowl Being an immigrant is not easy. Blind is a great sociology tool where we can see the real inner thoughts and toxicity of our colleagues.

Blind is full on toxic right now…

Hey @gethotwire - your support sucks. I was told that I would get a refund but actually I was charged for $2000 and now I have "credits" in my account. So basically you forced me to pre-pay for 2 years of your service (even though my previous contract was already halfway past)

Hey @gethotwire Hotwire Communications - I have UPGRADED my internet plan, I was told that this would NOT incur into a penalty, but I'm being charged for this crazy penalty amount - and support (called twice, it's been more than a week) doesn't help at all.

@RocketMoneyApp warns me *every month* about my mortgage payment as being an unusual transaction. Same recipient, same amount, but always suspect. I wonder if the AI model (if any) is at least considering my own transaction history. Looks like all it does is flag any large amount

@gethotwire As expected no one reached out to me. I'm still waiting.

@RickDrizin Thank you for reaching out to Hotwire Communications. We apologize for any inconvenience. We will have an Engagement Specialist reach out soon. Best, Dannielle - HWC Social Media Team

I brought this 1996 newspaper clipping directly from the time tunnel: Iomega Zip Drive & Jaz Drive, SCSI CD-ROM Tower, Novell Networks (running Windows NT), and digital cameras powered by 6 AA batteries. Now I'm feeling old. Who else remembers this?

@eddieoz Tava sendo perseguido pela mafia dos cartórios, brother?

Ouvi falar de um cara que fez uma coisa do gênero e no final teve que sair do país.

@antoniotabet Queremos o Peçanha aqui na Flórida também

Sim… como vocês viram no perfil oficial da empresa, eu, o Ian e a Paramount deixamos o Porta dos Fundos. Fizemos história e seguiremos fazendo. Quero agradecer aos funcionários, amigos e principalmente ao público que esteve conosco ao longo desta jornada. A gente segue se amando e levaremos vocês conosco (muitos literalmente). Para o futuro, só posso dizer o famigerado “vem coisa boa por aí”, com novos parceiros, novas ideias, novos projetos, novos sucessos (sempre!) e, claro, incluindo o Peçanha que segue lotando teatros por todo o Brasil. Aliás, a agenda e os ingressos estão aí no link da bio. Beijos! Fui! Pela porta da frente. 😏💪🏻👏🏻👮🏻‍♂️❤️🏃🏻🚪🕯️

@AmericanAir bug made me get the worst seats: I booked a ticket yesterday and the website offered the "hold for 24h" option (even though the flight was for the next day). A few hours later I went to pay and the ticket was already cancelled. I had to pay more miles for worse seats

@dustinmoris As the old saying: "Nobody was ever fired for buying IBM". Or also known as the Agency Theory.
