Most people used to take pride in what they do..... nowadays they take pride in the amount of profit they can get away with!
Probably broke off from overuse.
I was hoping to build a new pc for gaming and multipurpose use. If you want to run new video games at 4k with 60 fps and a single graphics card, the nvidia rtx 2080 ti is the only option and is $1,500 and reviewers say they are dying left and right.
In the hvac industry I see new trends happen all the time. Figure out a way to do it cheaper and all the mfg's jump on the same idea. Mostly designed by inexperienced people that haven't seen one in real world use (oh.. we didn't test that outside where it rains ). All sorts of new bugs that are eventually fixed then bring in the next group of inexperienced engineers and start the whole process all over again.

ASUS recently pushed backdoors onto several machines via updates after they got hacked. ShadowHammer.I'd check ASUS for bang for the buck, their stuff is usually pretty good considering the competition.
As for keyboards, I hate all laptop keyboards!!!
I plug in various das keyboards wherever I use them and I'm happy :

We are on our 3rd newly installed A-coil in 10 years! They keep on springing freon leaks. Luckily, we got a 10 year parts and labor warranty, so hasn’t cost us a dime, but damn! I asked them what was up with this, and one of the guys told us that the new freon is at a much higher pressure than the old, but the new equipment is not made any better to hold it, so......
When you barely get a decent raise in years, when your bosses are idiots and you know they will screw you over if it means their stock portfolios will raise by 0.5%, or because the HR wants you to jump through some PC hoop of the week, why should you still take pride in your work?
It's probably made even worse because so much stuff gets made in China. And Chinese business ethics seems to be, when given the choice by going the extra mile by delivering good quality work and ensuring long term profits in the billions, or deliver crap goods and make millions today, 99% of them will chose the latter.
Welcome to the perfect shitstorm of modern day capitalism and Chinese entrepreneurialsm.
It’s a YORK system...for whatever that’s worth.Probably a Carrier (largest a/c mfg in the world) and it's more a design issue as most others don't have that particular problem. New refrigerant operates at nearly double the pressures of the old with using basically the same piping. Like I said new inexperienced engineers in action. When they get experienced it's time to replace them with someone else and forget all lessons the old team learned.
Not sure that's true... I think it's just much easier to interact with people, or be more informed, so it appears that way.They don't make people like they used to, that's for sure. They far more sensitive, self-absorbed and have far less common sense then they used to.
I’ve been very happy with HP laptops lately. I went to the Microsoft store a couple years ago to buy a Surface Book and walked out with an HP Spectre x360 instead. Since then I’ve bought two more for my mom and son and they’ve all been great.

I had a shitty old Triumph in highschool that I loved more than life itself. I used to say: headlights, wipers or power steering -- pick two. I can only make two function at the same time.Cue standard British car jokes:
1. You don't need a British car. A British car needs you.
2. Q: Why do the British make warm beer? A: Because Lucas makes refrigerators.
Drove a Stelvio lately, a rental car, it's quite good IMHOThis is the first time in history that the words "Alfa Romeo" and "more quality" have been combined in a single sentence.
Beautiful cars, though.
