And it is possible, working for the same company and I’ve just negotiated a 25.5% pay rise and a more suiting job title taking me from “technician” to “engineer”

The last company that I was at I had been working remote since 2010.
After they laid me off last august I went into a contract term with a school that was remote until the president said “we are not a remote company”
There is never a reason for a reporting and application developer to be in an office.

Originally in 2001 I was based in the same building as the data centre, and that made sense for racking servers and the odd occasion when I had to press a button or stick physical media in. I could work remotely when I was on-call (at night or the weekend) but was expected to be in the office during the day.
Around 2010 (ish) all the servers moved into a dedicated data centre space about 150 miles away and we moved into office buildings. For some reason they still wanted us in the office. Shortly afterwards they said we could work from home 2 days a week (but they couldn’t be consecutive and only one could be Monday or Friday)…
By 2016 we were allowed to work remotely 5 days a week unless there was a special reason we needed to be in the office. Given that that reason was usually all day meetings they meant I was in other people’s office buildings more often than my own.
One company I have seen basically says “100% remote. We trust you to get your work done, when and where it suits you.” I like that philosophy. As long as you get your work done and don’t miss too many deadlines who cares if you work from a gym in the middle of the night, a coffee shop on Tuesday mornings or the Library every after noon.

Exactly. I cracked my phone once and had to get out repaired. I ended up going to the McDonald’s across the street for two hours and using thier Wi-Fi (plus a VPN) to get my work done while it was being repaired lol.

Anyone here at NULLCON?
Don’t think it warrants its own post so I’ll pop it here.
@amal I’m planning a project and was planning on using the spark2 as a means to authenticate the user the issue is that I’m concerned about the reliability of the api’s is there an official uptime or any thing?

For now APIv2 and the old platform are not slated for taking down any time soon. we are developing our new approach in parallel. Sparks will be able to be registered with the new platform independently of the current one.
Eventually API v2 functionality will likely be migrated to a the new backend stack.
However, reliability and lack of official uptime target for the current platform and API v2 are the very reason we are building out an entirely new platform / stack.

OK sort of what I expected, I had a few project ideas but most need the almost 100% uptime so I’ll have to look at a backup solution for downtime.
The fun part is, I know you’re speaking english, but…

I got this spam like advertisement shit from aliexpress
they advertise this product
They seem to advertise it for humans and sell it quite expensive (compared to the 2-5$ animal aliexpress chips)
are the xrays stolen from someone from here?
i have the suspicion that these are pictures that they simply dug up from the internet
the chips within their pictures alters. some have black resin some not - the coil size differs too - all in the same offer^

I’m pretty sure that those chips include free lead poisoning! What a bargain!
Amazingly, there are some “human” chips getting sold on AliExpress for a higher price than the original DT versions. Or at least I came across a $100 xEM clone one time while looking for cheap stickers.
Edit: wait a second, the ones in your screenshot are also more expensive than the DT stuff!
