Tech Workers Maxed Out Their A.I. Use. Now They’re Trying to Minimize It.
At my company we received an email telling us to not use AI for unnecessary tasks. Of course this is after they crammed AI down our throats.

When I first started working on computers in 1994, I thought that by 2010 every kid/teen/adult would be able to repair their computers themselves. How wrong I was. They know how to use computers and tablets but the hardware is a mystery to them.
I worked at a STEM university and was helping a Computer Science student with his laptop. It had a SSD and a platter HD in it for storage. The platter HD was failing and needed replacing. I wrote to the student stating he “needed a new HD”. He had no clue what I meant. He didn’t even know it was possible to replace. He was going to buy a new laptop.

My enthusiasm for tech is basically gone.
I feel your pain. I started IT in '94. Saw the excitement (AMD breaking the 1GHz barrier, High-speed internet, to name a few), then saw it go downhill just as fast.

Do you participate in this hobby without a formal IT education or a career in a similar field?
I learned everything I know in IT from tinkering/research. Higher education was absolutely worthless for my IT career, but at least it was free and I didn’t get myself into debt. Of course I got into computers in 1994 when people started buying home computers.

I 3d printed a custom sized keyboard using open source software and hardware designs.
Reminds me of something from the Neverhood Game.

I have gone through 4 replacements of the LR3.
When it works it is good but when it doesn’t it usually is due to a hardware fault.
