i have a project at work and the guys i got it from somehow ended up adding like 3 other things to it.
the initial thing was they have a hydraulic valve that only has full open, full close actions. this open close action had no “automatic” speed control of fluid so they want a valve that has proportional control. (open 10%, for example.) somehow, there’s a $25k machine being added in front of the work i was supposed to do so now instead of just adding a valve, i’m adding a valve and adopted a whole automated process on a machine build in 1950, and a controller technology from 1987.
we dont have all the parts. supply chains suck ass. obviously the controller from 1987 is discontinued so im mixing new tech and old tech with half ass communication and there’s another project im finishing for someone that moved up, trying to translate prints from a whole rebuild of something coming up on a july 4th shutdown event and it’s really stressful.
i’m a relatively new tech and there’s a handful of engineers that stare at contractors all day, walk around and try and determine downtime causes and other useless bullshit that can be solved by someone with less of an education, and im supposed to respond to breakdowns, train a new guy, still learn myself, and work on projects that cost $100,000 in parts and labor that these guys should be working on instead of wasting the time they’re doing now.
i love doing what im doing but i literally cant do all the things that’s being expected. thanks for listening.
This is a “forced” pro for iOS, but if you were to get an android phone and another iOS user were to send you a video via text message, it will look like shit unless you have an iOS device. I’m an android user and I hate this.
I have a pixel 6 pro. I’d only recommend getting a pixel or a OnePlus phone because all others usually have their crap branded bloatware attached and are usually slower to get updates. Pixel does come with some Google apps, but I actually use a good bit of them so I don’t mind.
Fingerprint scanner on pixel is nice. I don’t do a lot of stuff on my phone so my bar is set at- has working Bluetooth, no bloatware, updates pushed out at reasonable time, can easily move photos to external storage so I don’t have to pay for cloud storage.
I guess I can edit in here that I actually use both. My work phone is some 2 year old iphone. I don’t know what number it is. If I wasn’t paranoid of my company spying on me I would probably use it more and get rid of my android.
