Seguinte, há pouco tempo fui demitido de um trabalho lixo, mas que pagava minhas contas. Não tenho problema em ficar desempregado, porém, obviamente que não quero ficar parado vagabundando, então me vi na seguinte situação:
No meu trabalho eu era extremamente desmotivado, pois sempre fui assim, porém a empresa em que trabalhava era caótica e aquilo me consumia bastante. Vivia pra trabalhar, basicamente, pois não tinha energia pra mim mesmo. Enquanto trabalhava tinha a vontade de tentar algo pra entrar na área de programação ou similares, porém não tinha como dedicar tempo com estudos, meu cérebro simplesmente derreteria tentando conciliar trabalho e estudos. Mesmo assim tentei por algumas vezes entrar num programa profissionalizante, porém sem êxito, tirando da experiência só a ideia de que eu realmente me daria bem mudando de área.
Agora estou parado há algum tempo, recebendo seguro desemprego e pensando: arrumo outro emprego ou aproveito pra estudar o que eu quero? Na cidade vizinha de onde moro, porém consideravelmente afastado (1 hora de ônibus e de 2 a 3 conduções), tem o curso que estava pensando em fazer, porém são dois anos estudando, possivelmente sem a garantia de um emprego viável, ou seja, 2 anos de gastos com condução, contas e material, e eu não quero ficar gastando esse dinheiro que consegui com a demissão. Como já disse, não dependo de trabalhar pra sobreviver, mas isso não quer dizer que devo ficar sem trabalhar.
Sou um cara nascido na primeira metade dos anos noventa, calcule aí a minha idade, e já migrei algumas vezes de função, nunca me firmando em nada por muito tempo. Mas fim das contas, o curso que estou pensando em fazer agora é algo que já pensava lá quando tinha meus 18, porém naquela época era algo mais inacessível. Também há de se pontuar que hoje em dia sou uma pessoa muito mais paciente com estudos e não largaria no meio como fiz com minha faculdade hehehe
Enfim, o que me dizem?

Hi!
A new major release of DaDaBIK is out (founder here) and I think this might be of interest to this subreddit.
V. 12 brings, among other new features:
🚀 A new Graphical User Interface for generated apps, addressing what some users saw as the main limitation of DaDaBIK. New, modern, look and feel.
🔄 The new BETA development mode, that allows to privately (admins + trusted users) test your changes and custom code in BETA mode and deploy them LIVE in one click, optionally using two separated (Beta Vs. Live) DBs.
👩‍💻 AI-Powered App Building: simply describe your app in plain English and let AI create it, then refine your app with DaDaBIK.
💾 Export your app in one click
A quick overview, if you are not familiar with DaDaBIK: it has been a pioneer in the low-code and no-code space since 2001, being one of the very first no-code low-code Web platform, typically used for internal tools, business process automation, online databases.
Users include individuals, small and large business and many universities.
Some of the main features:

• Build advanced CRUD on top of your database without coding
• Inline editing (spreadsheet-like)
• Charts, tabular reports and dashboards (simple, no-code or complex, custom, SQL-based)
• Advanced permissions model: set granular permissions for each field / user group pair, owner permissions (e.g. I can see only the records I created), custom row-level filters
• Revision / audit features: Track who modified a record, when, and how.
• Export to PDF (with custom templates, if needed)
• 23 languages available

You can also add your own PHP / Javascript code, if needed, through a unique low-code integration approach. This includes custom buttons, hooks, custom validation functions, calculated fields, custom PHP pages and more. Your code remain completely separated from the DaDaBIK core code but fully integrated with the application, you can use vanilla PHP / Javascript and/or take advantage of the DaDABIK API.
No artificial limits on users, tables, records: if you need to scale, just power up your server.

Integration capabilities:

• Host anywhere the app, host anywhere the DB, no data vendor lock-in
• MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, SQLite supported
• Import (and synch) data from Excel and CSV
• LDAP authentication
• HTTP API (login and query DaDaBIK from other applications)
• Export to CSV
• Embed in a Wordpress site and share authentication with WP
• Full access to the database from other apps (DaDaBIK, by default, doesn't touch the schema of your existing DB, if any)

Licensing Options:

Both lifetime and monthly subscription licenses are available. You can start your free trial at dadabik.com/download
If you want to see DaDaBIK in action, here are some apps created with it: dadabik.com/demo
Any feedback is welcome, thanks!

Long post :( thank you for reading in advance.
I just graduated from Carnegie Mellon University, at a branch campus in Qatar. I'm an international student from Vancouver, Canada. The education between the Qatar and Pittsburgh campuses are pretty much identical and In the end, I carry a CMU degree, but while most main campus students get the chance to get high-level internships and carry some serious networking leverage, I didn't really get that. Qatar has a very small software engineering scene comprised of either government (e.g. hospitals, ministry of transportation), research/academic institution(s), or startups (some successful, most not). If you're a good student, it's not hard to get into one of the good positions through a professor or alumni, since almost everyone knows each other. But positions don't carry much weight, especially since I'm planning to go back to Canada. A Canadian recruiter won't recognize a local startup in Qatar.
My degree was a BSc in Information Systems, with a concentration in Data Science. I've always loved CS, but I wasn't proactive enough to switch majors early on. My cGPA (in my opinion) is subpar, hanging around 3.02. I didn't land internships. I'm relatively young, just turned 21. Up until my Junior year, I was dead set on my esports passion. I made it big early on and was a data analyst for some top teams, but over time reality set in and I backed up. Between that, and Covid, and other excuses, I didn't solidify my study disciplines.
As a non-CS person, and generally not having taken core CS courses (Distributed Systems, Security, Networks, OS, Parallel Computation, etc) + not having job experience + my low GPA, really doesn't set me up well for the job market.
Despite that, I'm ridiculously passionate about Software Engineering and ML. Even with my academic performance, I'm one of the most active people in my cohort. I've been repeatedly asked/demanded to be a course assistant for most core courses. I was infamous in my sophomore year for helping the whole class pass by tutoring them in Data Structures. I had certain Software Engineering courses where we worked with real clients. I led multiple of those, being both the Project Manager and handling all backend at the same time, and was consistently successful. In my last year, against a lot of odds, I took some 400/700 level courses in Deep Learning, even having major prereqs waived, and got A's on them.
Even in my partly delusional esports days, as an analyst, I worked on some otherwise massive Data Engineering projects on my own. I developed my own ML pipeline that would crunch hours of player footage and calculate performance metrics. I had to come up with my own custom video processing pipelines on top of CUDA. TL;DR I'm very confident in my skillset and I feel very capable. I think I definitely have the skillset and the ability to succeed in a junior SWE role.
My aspiration down the line is to work as an ML Engineer and even in Research, but I recognize that it's not easy to get to that point from where I am now. I applied to ~6 Masters programs in ML/CS/DS across Canada, and turned up with 0 offers. I'm actively planning to complete the independent "missing" CS courses as a non-degree student to raise my GPA, and study/network back on my own turf.
As another way to damage control, I'm also trying to apply for internships to gain experience I can use to get into entry level positions, and to perhaps overachieve and gain return offers. A lot of internships are locked to those who are currently studying, which I've just completed, so it narrows the job pool by a lot.
Currently, I don't know what to really market myself as. An ML Engineer who did phenomenally in a PhD tier Deep learning course? A Data Scientist, since I completed their Data Science concentration and capstone course? A Software Engineer, since I've built and shipped software and generally, SWE is the biggemore flexible umbrella that both MLE and DS fit under.
In general, I'm just not sure where to put my chips.

• Do I emphasize completing missing CS content in a Canadian university as a non-degree study in hopes of raising my grades and clearing prerequisites, so that I can increase my changes of getting into a Masters (and equivalently, getting better job security)?
• Do I work with the networking I currently have in Qatar to get entry level positions, accept the low pay and lack of prestige, and hope it can help me transfer over to the Canadian market?
• I will definitely be applying like crazy for internships/entry level positions directly in Canada. But is it looking bleak given my experience (or lack thereof)?
• As a Canadian and fresh grad, should I be applying for U.S. roles?
• How should I market myself? I'm okay with any role across SWE, MLE, DS, DE, even DA, but I can't just slap all those roles on my LinkedIn headline or CV. How are you guys handling your role-invariant job search.
• Any advice?

Fala Gente, tudo bem ?
Cara, que bizarro essas vendas do HellBlade 2, o jogo é mega aclamado porém o fato de ser nicho + ter disponivel no gamepass acabou com qualquer chance de lucro imediato do jogo.
Vou colocar alguns dados aqui baseado no Steam Revenue
Horizon Zero Dawn Avaliações: 8202 Valor: U$ 25,00 (coloquei menos para considerar promoção) Valor Arrecado sem Taxas: U$ 7.381,800
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II Avaliações: 205 Valor: U$ 40,00 (coloquei menos para considerar promoção) Valor Arrecado sem Taxas: U$ 164.000

https://steam-revenue-calculator.com/
Lembrando que isso é uma estimativa apenas da Steam e não considera as vendas em console. O HellBlade 2 esta no GamePass e muita gente deve jogar por lá, porém Hi-Fi Rush acabou de ser fechado por conta das vendas baixas.

My gf's laptop died so I'm going to build her a gaming pc.
The budget is around 450-500€ (Spain). I just don't know which platform to choose: 12/13th gen Intel (something like i3 13100/13400)or AMD am4 (like R5 5500/5600).
She's going to play at 1080p 75hz so the rx600 would work great and for 200€ is a decent pick.
She's not going to play the latest AAA. Other than gaming she's going to record and edit videos (DaVinci resolve) and maybe stream.
Which platform should I choose to have the best overall performance?
Note: we already have a case and SSD so those components are out of the budget.
I woul appreciate your help here , idk if I should choose AMD to have 6 cores or Intel to have better single core performance but only 4 cores.
Thanks to everyone :)

Estou montando um PC com a seguinte configuração:
▪︎Amd ryzen 5 5500 ou 5 5600; ▪︎Placa mãe A520 (da SOYO/BIOSTAR) ou uma B550MX da BIOSTAR; ▪︎Fonte da SuperFrame, Montech ou da Pichau, 650W ▪︎Memória ram 2x8gb DDR4 RGB da Gloway ou da Corsair; ▪︎Gabinete Montech AIR ARGB mATX 4 Fans ▪︎SSD 1TB NVME, ainda não defini marca; ▪︎Watercooler da SF ou da Rise Mode;
Mas estou na dúvida entre duas placas de vídeo: uma RX 6600 8gb ou uma GTX 1650 4gb. Meu orçamento é de 3500 REAIS. Eu sou um pouco leiga no assunto. Aceito SUGESTÕES de peças e outras placas de vídeo de ATÉ 1300 reais.
Um adendo: Será um computador voltado para jogos online e programação, jogos não muito pesados, jogo de boa no medium e no low.

Seguinte, há pouco tempo fui demitido de um trabalho lixo, mas que pagava minhas contas. Não tenho problema em ficar desempregado, porém, obviamente que não quero ficar parado vagabundando, então me vi na seguinte situação:
No meu trabalho eu era extremamente desmotivado, pois sempre fui assim, porém a empresa em que trabalhava era caótica e aquilo me consumia bastante. Vivia pra trabalhar, basicamente, pois não tinha energia pra mim mesmo. Enquanto trabalhava tinha a vontade de tentar algo pra entrar na área de programação ou similares, porém não tinha como dedicar tempo com estudos, meu cérebro simplesmente derreteria tentando conciliar trabalho e estudos. Mesmo assim tentei por algumas vezes entrar num programa profissionalizante, porém sem êxito, tirando da experiência só a ideia de que eu realmente me daria bem mudando de área.
Agora estou parado há algum tempo, recebendo seguro desemprego e pensando: arrumo outro emprego ou aproveito pra estudar o que eu quero? Na cidade vizinha de onde moro, porém consideravelmente afastado (1 hora de ônibus e de 2 a 3 conduções), tem o curso que estava pensando em fazer, porém são dois anos estudando, possivelmente sem a garantia de um emprego viável, ou seja, 2 anos de gastos com condução, contas e material, e eu não quero ficar gastando esse dinheiro que consegui com a demissão.

To answer the commonly asked question once and for all, I have done a deepdive and summarized the findings of all relevant research I could find.
I've established a benchmark for what level of sub concussive head impacts can be tolerated and for how long without developing CTE to compare with Judo.
It's crucial to recognize that while concussive impacts are associated with clinical signs and symptoms, sub‐concussive impacts are defined as occurring below this range and do not result in clinically‐diagnosed concussions. However, studies have proposed that an accumulation of these low‐level repetitive impacts does compromise the brain over time and may result in CTE later in life. (Source 1,2,3)
CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) is the neurodegenerative disease that may be defined by symptoms of dementia, memory loss, and emotional instability. It's famously observed in American football and other athletes of full contact sports. (Source 1)
The two measures I will quote for head impact are G force for linear acceleration and rad/s2 for rotational acceleration. Rotational acceleration is believed by many to be a primary mechanism for diffuse brain injury, which is seen in CTE. Rotational acceleration is more dangerous than linear acceleration because it creates greater tension on bridging veins and brain (Source 3, 12)
Benchmark from American football study (source 2)
In all cases, the average head impact was ~1500 rad/ s2 and 19 G. What differentiated the players without CTE from the ones with CTE wasn't the magnitude of the head impacts but rather the accumulation of these sub concussive impacts.
Players without CTE = 4500 hits over 10 years with 6.57 M rad/s2 and 87k G accumulated to the head
Players with low stage CTE = 5500 hits over 12 years with 8.32 M rad/s2 and 107k G accumulated to the head
Players with high stage CTE = 7600 hits over 15 years with 12.26 M rad/s2 and 150k G accumulated to the head
Another study suggests that 1230 rad/s2 is to be used as the lower threshold for low severity injury, but does recognise that a definitive threshold separating impacts causing injury from impacts resulting in no injury is currently not known. (Source 1)
Now that we have these benchmarks, let's look at the Judo research to understand how much impact the brain sustains from being thrown on the ground with perfect ukemi (break fall).
First study (source 4)
Performed by two judo black belts with Tori doing Osoto Gari and Uke performing ukemi (break fall) on tatami with a forehead sensor.
Second study (source 5)
14 black and brown belt practitioners with forehead sensors performing ukemi on 6 different throws. (tomoe-nage, tai-otoshi, harai-tsuri-komi-ashi, seoi-nage, deashi-braai, uchi mata), and only impacts over 16G was captured with their measurement equipment.
Results
10% of 70 Uchi mata throws resulted in an impact over 16G. These inpacts have an avg of 28 G impact on the head and 3940 rad/s2. Uchi mata had the highest incidence of sub-concussive head accelerations.
Osoto gari had linear force: between 8.7 - 11.9 G, median 10.3 G Rotational force: between 506 - 852 rad/s2, median 679 rad/s2
The other five throws in the study had a very low incidence rate of exceeding the 16G threhold, at around 1% of the throws. When they did exceed the threhold, the results were 21-28 G and 1600-2800 rad/s2
Conclusion
Given the chosen threhold of 1230 rad/s2, which has been suggested as the lower limit for diffuse brain injury. It appears that for most of the time, Judo is safe when Ukemi (break fall) is applied correctly. Uchi mata had the highest risk of exceeding the threshold and would be dangerous in about 10% of the time, despite proper Ukemi. Osoto gari is often close to the threshold at 852 rad/s2.
However, there is currently no definitive threshold for impacts causing diffuse injury to the brain. It should be noted that Judo is often on the border to dangerous when throws are executed with high power. (Source 1)
Thought experiment
Each club and practitioner's training patterns and Ukemi skill may vary, but if we were to assume that you take a hard fall (exceeding the safe threshold of 1230 rad/s2) in 10% of the larger hip throws, as shown in source 5. Then, you might sustain 3 hard falls per training. Given 3 training sessions per week, 40 weeks per year, you will accumulate 360 hard falls per year (3×3×40). This means that after 12 years of practice, you will have endured 4500 hard hits. This is the same as an American football player without CTE. But if you were to continue at this pace for an additional 3 years (total 15 years), you will have accumulated 5500 hard hits. This is the same as a player with low stage CTE. After a total of 21 years of Judo, you would then have developed high stage CTE (7600 hits).
Now, if this calculation assumes only 1 hard hit per session, the outcome would be enormously different. It would then take 45 years of Judo before you risk developing low stage CTE.
This thought experiment highlights the importance of limiting your number of hard landings per training as much as possible. Note that these hard landings occur despite proper Ukemi in blackbelts, according to the cited studies. It means that you need to be careful with the intensity of Randori you tolerate from your partner and maximize the use of crash pads during static training. It's also advisable to avoid training with larger partners (>18 kg/ 40 pounds heavier than you), if possible. (Source 4,5,6)
If you are comparing judo to other forms of martial arts it should be noted that although judo carries risks it is much lower than for example MMA sparring where the average linear acceleration in head impacts are 38 G and the average rotational acceration is 2567 rad/s2 per hit. This means that the average hit in MMA is dangerous high above the safe threshold. (Source 7)
Additional conclusions from the cited studies to help minimize risk in Judo:
Novice vs experienced judokas
It's important to also make note that novice judokas experience much higher impacts compared to blacks belts. This is due to their lower proficiency in Ukemi (break fall) Just to mention a few things, the experienced judokas have greater knee exten­sion when falling backwards and their motion is greater in the extended position when the hand contact the mat and at the end of the motion. Novice judoka tends to flex the knee more than experienced judokas. Greater knee extension during the backward fall helps to control the velocity of backward falls better. Experienced judokas roll more on the back while landing and immediately lift the hands after slapping the ground to not impede the rolling motion. The timing of the ground slap is of importance.
Novices often hit their head on the tatami mat because of their delayed response to throwing techniques and their inability to instantly contract their neck muscles to perform a backward breakfall. Therefore, to reduce the risk of head injury in judo, it is desirable to actively introduce training in which an athlete is pushed by another person and the athlete instantly performs a backward breakfall. (source 6, 9, 10, 11)
Fatigue and Ukemi effectiveness
Ukemi (break fall) effectiveness is significantly affected by fatigue following high intensity exercise. To stay safe, it's recommended to rest properly between your set of throws or Randori rounds to let your heart rate come down before engaging again. (source 8)
Expected vs. unexpected throws
Additionally, it is shown that anticipating the impact improves the effectiveness of Ukemi and helps lower the impact forces to the brain. This is why being surprised by a throw in, for example Randori, carries much higher risk than static training, especially for novice practitioners. Therefore, it is necessary to develop backward breakfall training that incorporates unexpected conditions, while considering safety (Source 3,6)
Weight difference
Higher body weight of the thrower than that of the person being thrown is a factor in the occurrence of head injuries, with the risk of head injury increasing when the thrower is ≥ 18 kg heavier than the person being thrown. These findings suggest that practice with such a weight difference between judo practitioners should be avoided (source 6)
Undermat
The use of an under-mat did not prove to be adequate in reducing head impact. Although it lowered the linear acceration of the head, it did not impact the rotational acceleration, which has more severe outcomes (source 10)
Neck strength
No correlation was found between cervical (neck), muscle strength (anterior flexion), and head rotational acceleration. Although it is important to have at least average neck strength, improving neck strength further is not the simple solution to reducing impact on the head and neck. Instead, mastering optimal Ukemi technique to be able to disperse energy more through better movement patterns is a more viable solution. (Source 6, 10)
The most dangerous judo throw (immediate danger, not in terms of long term CTE risk)
From 1983 to 2011, 118 fatalities were reported in junior high and high schools in Japan. It was pointed out that being thrown by “osoto-gari” was the major cause of fatalities (18 cases, 25%). In an experiment involving adolescents who were not judo specialists, the risk of head injury was higher when the “osoto-gari” or “ouchi-gari” throwing technique was used than when the “ippon-seoi-nage” or “tai-otoshi” throwing technique was used.
The reason for this has been suggested to be that novice judokas were likely to take a more flexed upper body posture than the experienced judokas, especially from the middle to late phase of the osoto gari break fall. The flexed posture may lead to greater velocity due to the smaller contact of the arms made to the ground in that posture. Therefore, maintaining a straight posture during the breakfall motion may lead to a reduced risk of head injuries associated with osoto-gari. (Source 6, 13)

The Lesser Engine seemed to whimper, just before its animalistic head was crushed under the heavy heel of the Logos Armor. Petra was looking around, her armor covered in hellish grime, pieces of fiery cables, her hammerhead scraped in some places by the metal chitin of the warpforged abominations. A swing of her weapon decapitated a screaming techpriest, and she could see her sons advance behind her, focusing their fires onto the creatures that hadn’t come into her range.
She raised her arm and the bolter array built onto it sang four times, each bolt hitting and penetrating into the bronze hull of a monster. A movement in the side of her view immediately made her turn, and Petra placed herself right behind the Automata that was raising its shield to parry the volley of ammunition that a vomiting amalgamation of tin and steel was spewing out. The machine painted in the colors of the legion marched towards it, shield still forward as it was raising its hammer. Another Domitar joined in, and they started hammering down the bear, striking at the places that Petra indicated them to with her Logos.
Not even leaving them a moment of respite, a shriek echoed through the halls of the corrupted forgeworld, announcing the arrival of a new transformed machine, this time using the shape of a massive scorpion of brass, painted in red - probably actual blood. A True Daemon Engine.
“Stay behind”, Petra ordered her own troops. “Only the Iron Circle will engage with me. Provide cover fire”. Immediately her soldiers reorganized themselves, walking slightly back while she moved towards the warped machine. It was big, but not so much more than some beasts she had taken down during the Great Crusade.
The Logos Bolt Array roared in rapid succession, spitting explosive shells that burst on the thing’s pincer shell it was protecting itself with. The cannon on its tail aimed at the little group approaching, and fired in response. The bullets managed to pierced the shield of one of the Automata, bringing it to the ground in skittering motions as the Primarch ran to the machine.
The shell of the left pincer bent under the shock of her hammer, but could see the interior mechanisms and integrity were still completely fine. As the monster hissed, she growled and climbed onto it, before it could move its appendix. Her array fired again, aiming at the creature’s low head, and it was assailed by the other Automata. Alas, the legion’s machines could do little when even their Primarch’s strength was only sufficient to dent its exterior, their hammers clanging with sound but no damage. The Engine shrieked and spun on its feet, sweeping the footing of the Domitars with its armored tail, almost shaking Petra off of its great body.
The Breaker of Stone jumped, landing her hammer onto the machine’s head, keeping its optics away from herself. The Automata had started to stand up, some of them already trying again to impair the Daemon Engine. The Scorpion managed to snatch the shield arm of one of the Domitars into its pincers, immediately starting to grind it, then using its second arm to crush its body, neutralizing it into a cloud of sparks and noises of bent iron.
A volley of missiles exploded onto its body, making it stumble a step or two. Petra’s Tyrant Siege Terminator squad had established a perimeter around them, alongside three Devastation squads of Space Marines armed to the teeth. The Lady of Iron used the opportunity, clasping her two hands around her hammer, and smashed the face of it onto the mechanical head, cracking the glass of its baleful eye.
Letting one hand on her weapon go, she shoved her fist into the eye, fully shattering it and grasping at cables, opened fire eight times, before pulling the sparkling fiber out. The creature’s feet skittered and scraped onto the ground, flailing as well as it could with its weakening strength under the hands of the Primarch and the shields of the Automata pressing against its body.
Her soldiers approached slowly, step by step and always keeping their visors onto the fallen beast. It stopped moving. Petra allowed herself a breath, before turning to her sons. The Terminator and the Devastation squads were meticulously reloading their weapons, while her tactical squads surveyed the corridors they arrived through, one of them moving further in the dark halls of the Forge World.
When her Marines were ready, she nodded a signal to her soldiers, and they moved forward. Not even five steps were made when she turned on her heels, hearing a sound from behind her.
[The. Beast. Sings].
Three words that echoed into the large, empty hall. Her blood curled hearing it. This wasn’t normal speech. She had mechanically translated it, only understanding what the means of transmission was after hearing the full sentence.
[The. Beast. Sings].
Scrap-code.The Chaos speech reserved for the machines. An odious parody of the already-nonsensical Lingua Technis in usage within the Cult of Mars. And the carcass was speaking it. She activated the Logos’ system used to communicate orders to the Automata accompanying them.
“Killswitch protocol, immediate deactivation”. She commanded, not willing to even let a chance at her Automatas being corrupted. The Iron Warriors moved to surround the legion’s Iron Circle, carefully laying them down and locking their joints.
[The Beast sings]. It was continuously psalmoding, like a broken disc, accelerating. [The Beast sings The Beast sings The Beast sings The Beast sings]- until she put her hands on its neck, her fingers slowly bending the metal, and she pulled at it until the head was separated from the neck in a horrible noise of brass. Petra switched her comms to contact the scouting unit sent forward.
“Watch out for any signal of chaotic machines, warn us at any movement”. She turned to the corridors that had been used by some of the Techpriests that had ambushed them, eyeing the corpses with disgust.
They had all been chanting the same fucking thing. The Beast sings. What even was the beast? She had first encountered this name on another forge world, where some of her Warriors had been hunted by a strange Warp Machine. It had disappeared moments before she arrived on site herself, and she had stored it away in her memories, until it resurfaced some time later on another planet, another corrupted cult dedicated to the Dark Mechanicum. And another time, it had fled an hour before she had reached the deployment zone.
At first, the writings had been about “The Beast wakes”. Then, “The Beast writhes”. “The Beast forges”, all in Scrap-code, again and again. Until they came here, to the Forge Worlds of the moons of Cercantyle, themselves orbiting around a planet that had fallen to the corruption and whispers of the Warp.
Vibrations. Noises. Explosions.
She turned her head toward the sound, raising one of her Bolt array in overwatch, but didn’t see anything. She didn’t see anything other than her Marines, prudently observing the source of the noise.
“Squad Iota, what is your status?”
No answer came back. She motioned to her Terminators, who placed themselves forward and raised their weapons.
“Squad Iota, respond”. Her answer was the same as for her first question. “We probably lost them. Squad Alpha and Beta, watch over the corridor. Squad Gamma to Epsilon, survey the other entries. I don’t want any surprises”.
She accessed a cogitator, trying to see if she could garner any information from the eight-point covered machine, growling when she saw all was written in Scrap-code too. Fucking lunatics, even more annoying the the “normal” Mechanicum cultists.
Large arrivals of metal, used for weaponry and vehicle propulsors. Well, alongside daemons that were used by the warped tech priests to inhabit those machines. Copious amounts of fuel, menial slaves and engineers had been brought here. She felt a chill creep up her spine. Petra raised her eyes from the cogitator, definitely weirded out. Because it was a familiar feeling. But not the same. Unnatural.
Again, vibrations, noises, explosions. This time so much closer, almost detonating where her squads Alpha and Beta were standing. “Form up!”, “Ambush!” She could hear her soldiers shout, spreading out to avoid cluster explosions, and moving into covers behind ruined machines and skull-decorated wall fragments. The Tyrant Siege squad was the first line, having survived the blast with little to no injuries thanks to the more robust Cataphractii armors.
Her helmet’s visors didn’t show her any movement coming from the corridors. Petra ran diagnostics seeing the shapes of the explosions on the ground, approaching her troops. The screens showed her trajectory probabilities, drawing predictions and attempting to locate the enemy’s position. She raised her eyes, just before one of squad Delta’s marine shouted “Contact! Above!”
There it was. A massive construct of plasteel, ceramite, and armaplas, exiting from a higher-level hallway, reactors spewing out warp-fire.
It was pristine.
Unlike the Daemon Engines and chaos machines she had destroyed and taken apart, it showed no decorations in honor to the Chaos Gods, no brass or gold trims organized in spikes and curves. No, this one was slick, almost T’au like in appearance, but with definitive elements of Imperial structure. The silver metal of its hull was reflecting lights.
A humanoid body about twice her size made up the centerpiece of it, a large construct latched onto its back, and a large ring circled around the main body. Multiple cannons on the back, three-gatling guns onto each arm, and Petra could even see it was shielded by technology akin to Iron Halos. A weapon of war that saw no surrender, no end to its decimation. The blood-red shining eyes fixated solely upon her.
The Beast was hovering above them, imitating what Space Marines had been called, and Angel of Death. And the Beast sang.
It opened fire on her troops and her, six gatling guns rotating and ejecting shells by the hundreds in a few seconds, and five of her sons fell before they could put their shields in a carapace to protect themselves from the projectiles. Her Terminators responded in the same way, hardly bothered by the bullets raining down on them and shouldering Combi-Bolter, the deafening noise of their weapons adding to the cacophony that the Beast was already composing.
It was fast. When her Tyrant Siege squad added their missiles to the exchange, it seemed to reave through the air as a broadsword, moving out of the way of the projectiles, never ceasing to shoot, and worse, beginning to circle around the less protected Tactical Marines, pinning them down, its traits piercing through the gray ceramite, again and again. Petra’s Bolt Arrays were shooting non-stop, her Logos calculating and predicting the movements of the flying machine, but her munitions were crushed against the Force-Field deployed around it.
“Get to cover! Use the corridors to hide yourself!” Petra ordered her troops, placing herself away from the eyes of the machine while using the Logos’ systems to reboot the Automata. Even though they were mostly equipped for close quarter combat, she had conceived the Olympia Bolt Cannon to arm them in addition to their bodyguard abilities she now used as first battle ranks, shielding her soldiers.
Thanks to her Trinket, always one to bring any advantage to their side in negotiations, she had had far enough to experiment multiple formations, and was satisfied with the weaponry they were now using - if the Iron Warriors were able to bring the Beast to the ground, they would fall upon it with their Graviton mauls.
For now, she unlocked the joints, and restarted their systems, the chest light flaring up green. One of the red eyes of the flying construct lowered to look at them, and immediately after, directed one of his arms in the same direction, the three gatlings starting to spin again, landing some hits that scratched their surfaces, resulting in one of the Domitar-Ferrum having a chestplate opened, and a pauldron bent under the heavy fire before it could raise its shield.
Did it have an unlimited amount of ammunition? Urgh, it had probably far enough to wage battle against them for hours on end, and they were currently engaged in a Forge-world. It could fly away any moment, and find some station to re-arm itself.
Petra opened her comms, directing her soldiers directly to always harass the Beast, forming into firing patterns as three squads gained altitude in the maze that was the architecture of the Forge-World. She counted. Eleven soldiers had been lost. Five were also injured - though not gravely enough that they had to stop fighting. A glance at the damaged automata let her know that it could still be pushed to fight, and could endure more damage. She opened cover fire to move herself, approaching her soldiers so that she would not be stuck in the middle of an open-space.
“Phase Four, Hammer Protocol”, she ordered on the Logos, and her soldiers moved as well as they could to accomplish their missions. Every single trigger belonging to a soldier under her command was pulled into a deafening noise that echoed into the large hall, lights of tracer fire producing a continued source of radiance that she wouldn’t even need the night vision provided by her helmet.
Even though the Conversion field around the Beast was sparkling, progressively advancing to the point where it would need to be deactivated to not overload, it was reaching it far too slowly for Petra’s taste. Frustration was building up faster in her.
Some movement in the construct made her change her focus, as she tried to identify why it was moving the way it did. The gatling guns on its right arm had folded back into the back construct part, and now it was a long, thin and rectangular armament that was attached to its arm. And aimed at her. A glance at it indicated her it was warped T’au technology, modified to be usable alongside those demonic systems. She felt a cold sweat immediately.
Mass launcher. Heavy Rail Cannon.
Petra stepped away in a blink, unsure even her armor would be perfectly safe from a weapon like that, a single instant later the place she had been in was shot at.
Light. Noise.
Silence.
A Warrior behind her had been less lucky, its upper body part simply erased by the projectile’s impact, which didn’t even explode.
It had penetrated into the metallic ground, dug deep until the meager warning lights of the hall couldn’t shed shine onto it. The body of her Marine fell onto the ground, blood finally flowing out as though it had briefly not realized it had been killed.
She processed it into the back of her mind, running to find some cover that would hide her from the weapon. It seemed however that the Daemon Engine didn’t have in mind to continue using its Rail Cannon, and started to rise, floating higher. She had another bad feeling. And she was rarely wrong on such occasions. It put away the arms that were latched onto its arms, and extended its hands forward.
Something started to roll on the horizontal ring, and exited the top of the back construct in the same way, stopping halfway, above the Beast’s head. Multiple dots of red upon light-gray surface, and Petra already knew it was multiple missile pod systems.
“Find cover!” she heard one of her soldiers scream out. Petra ordered the Domitars to defend the Marines that weren’t equipped with Boarding Shields like her Breacher Squads. Noises like pings emitted by the Machine started to rise, accelerating in tempo and volume.
It brought its hands downwards, a conductor's movement. The orchestra, a symphony of technological-brought death, began.
The Beast sings.
The sounds of their thrusters weren’t the one she was used to hearing from missiles in flight, no, it was far worse. Whispers, murmurs, talks, shouts, wails, screeches, howling. The noises each projectile was making were separate voices of pain and suffering, or shrieks of rage and anger.
A choir that the Beast was directing, the missiles following his hands, cues and downbeats, the screaming and bellows harmonizing to form a music that would be beautiful, if it weren’t so haunting, dangerous and in such an inopportune moment.
Petra locked her armor completely, focusing on defending against the missiles that were going for her. She recognized it. She crouched, protecting her head with her arms, and the noises of all missiles exploding at the same time, a fortississimo overbearing on her ears, and the shaking was the same as being just beside a Titan Ordnance weapon firing.
The instant she was safe, running diagnostic operations on the Logos integrity, she forced herself to move despite the shock she was feeling. Not just physical. The music It had imitated before the missiles exploded. She knew it perfectly. From its start, to the Da Capo, to its end and crescendo, with every single note in between.
Because she knew the composer. Because she was beside him when he composed. Because HE composed FOR HER. Because it was Trinket’s piece. A horrible, abominable parody, spitting on every musical pattern and expression he spent days and nights writing while she was drawing architectural blueprints and building dioramas of the multiple Olympia’s cities they oversaw reconstruction of.
The shared name of Elysia, the location of their planned Forever Home, and of the hymn they had decided on.
And nothing was making her more mad than the twisted parody of her favorite music, turned into something so… She didn’t even find the words for the utter disgust she was going through. Nor for her anger.
“Cover me! Switch back to Phase three, Protocol Nemea!”
Petra exited the smoke left by the detonation after shouting her order, and went straight for the broken corpse of the Brass Scorpion, teeth clenched. Hearing the weapons of her sons firing behind her, she swore she would destroy that thing, and free Trinket from its grasp. She had not a single doubt he was in it. Being the core of the Beast. She caught the tail of the machine monster, and dragged it to turn the Demolisher cannon that formed its parody of a mouth in the direction of Trinket’s prison.
Using the commanding functions of the Logos, she connected to the machine’s body, bluntly deleting every piece of Scrap-Code that she could, as the chaotic construct was off for now, and when she was done, she booted the firing systems up.
She was hearing the roaring of the Beast’s gatling guns, firing ceaselessly to kill her sons, the crackling noise of Boarding Shields and Karceri Shields as the hailing rain of bullets was caught against their power fields.
Petra’s will, translated into cybernetics commands, made the legs of the Scorpion skitter and rise, angling its maw at the flier. After a few seconds loading, and preparing the weapon, the Scorpion opened fire, crossing the distance between source and target in barely a breath. The noise of the detonation echoed the same as the missiles the Beast had previously fired in its orchestral volleys.
The flying machine trembled, the iron halo’s field crackling, turning on and off until it finally shut down.
“Now!” Petra shouted to her Warriors. “Engage Phase five, suppressing fire!” Exiting their covers, most of her Marines aimed and opened fire at the Engine. She aimed at its reactors when it showed its back to her, shooting with all eight of her shrapnel bolt array. As it lowered slightly, she calculated her odds. Satisfied, she started running toward it, accelerating to some of the fastest speeds she had reached on her feet, motivation and desperation both pumping fire into her veins of iron.
Using the ruined machinery that strewed the ground, she gained elevation, and fully jumped to catch on the ring surrounding the core construct. Its three eyes looked at her, and Petra could swear she could see them burning in hatred. It tried to aim its gatling at her, but she moved faster, opening fire without restraint straight at its arm, a barrage of bolts that started to tear through the weaknesses in the metal that she saw.
Unable to fly correctly anymore, the Beast lowered even more, to the point where the Automata, coming running at it, could extend their hammers to latch on the ring and body, pinning it down. Petra let go of the outer ring, and walked straight toward the core unit, ignoring the warnings that one of her sergeants was directing to her.
She couldn’t hear anything over a ringing in her ears suspiciously resembling the melody of Elysia.
She finally reached it, extending her hand toward its head, and ripped it off without a care, watching with satisfaction as the three-eyed lights faded from the optics. She tossed it aside. Under her awaiting hands was the gesticulating body of an iron maiden that jailed the person she wanted to see most.
Weaknesses.
In the frame, in the ossature, in the hull. She reached and grasped, and bent, and pulled, and tore, destroying the malignant thing bit by bit, piece by piece, seeing her soldiers in the corner of her eyes, but not registering anything other than the slowly opening torso of the machine.
Finally.
Finally.
Finally, she ripped open the cockpit, to be met with such a cherished and such a haunted sight. Her Velvet Glove. Her Trinket.
Finally.
“FeFe…” she whispered. She could feel her eyes water behind the iron skull of her helmet.
It was an abominable sight. Everything was him. Nothing was his. As the song, it was a parody of who he was.
It was his hair: white and in long locks. It wasn’t: oily, greasy and unkempt.
It was his body: olive skin and the same scars as she remembered. It wasn’t: skeletal, gaunt, emaciated and hollow. Ribs almost piercing out from under his naked dry skin.
It was his eyes, the same turquoise, the same golden decoration he had asked her to graft under the left one to mask one scar he had there. It wasn’t: there were no lights in those glassy and foggy balls, and the gold was tarnished, rusted.
His lips were parched and scarred, his eyelids scratched, and she was trembling seeing the sight.
He was missing an arm, cables and wires directly plugged into his torn flesh.
A ruined enveloppe.
A single terminal was held in his sickly thin fingers, showing characters writing on a loop. Two words. It wasn’t Scrap-Code, nor was it Lingua-Technis, nor even was it Gothic, be it low or high. No, it was their native tongue of Olympia.
Two words, repeating on a loop like a mad chant line after line.
Σκότωσέ με.
Kill me.
Kill me.
Kill me.
Kill me.
Kill me.
Petra slowly reached to her helmet, its hissing pops signaling the depressurization. She removed it, her braided lock falling onto her shoulder as she put it aside.
“No”.
She reached toward him, cupping his cheek in her gauntlet, as large as his head, not applying any bit of force. Her hand was trembling. She pulled his body from the machine’s carcass, carefully disconnecting the cables thanks to the Logos’ programming properties. She cradled his broken, shattered form in her arms like carrying a newborn. She could barely feel his heartbeat. Her vision of him was riddled in weaknesses that usually inhabited her vision, so, so many onto his form.
She tilted to whisper in his ear.
“I’m bringing you back home. We’ll go together. Do you remember, FeFe? To Elysia”.
She almost broke down when she saw a sign of recognition on his part when he heard that name. Just slightly, almost imperceptible, his eyes widened.
A Spark.

Why didn't Lalo simply just go to the cartel, tell everybody that he's alive, tell them that Gus tried to kill him and eventually the rest of the cartel? And that he is a snake trying to backstab them? I know this was answered before but I'm going to add something new into this argument. The most responses I have seen from people is always "he needed proof" and that without proof, the cartel wouldn’t believe him. Anyways he died trying to get proof and trying to kill Gus.
But see, we all know that him filming the secret underground lab was Lalo’s best idea of getting proof. I mean we all also know why he has been video taping the laundry and him talking to the cartel on his plans to expose and kill Gus. And we all know he died trying to kill Gus trying to get the proof. But here's the new argument I am presenting to change all of that and simply make the situation be in Lalo's favor.
Here’s my presented argument to this:
Lalo go to the cartel
Lalo: Hey everybody, I am alive. Now don’t celebrate because I need to tell you guys something. The chicken man is a snake, he tried to kill me. It wasn’t that snake nachito who switched the pills and caused my uncle to be paralyzed. Which by the way the chicken man knew about that plan and let it happen. That bastard lied for the chicken man to say it was him who caused my death. Instead it was the chicken man, he is the snake who is now building a secret underground lab under the laundry to overthrow the cartel business. That whole Werner Ziegler story was a lie. And he is doing all of this behind your backs. But you, Don Eladio wouldn’t believe this. That the Chicken Man would do all of this. So why not have me with Bolsa pay him a little visit and check out my hypothesis of this secret lab that would prove that he is a lying snake trying to overthrow you? Also have us bring a lot of guards, because that chicken man is very clever. I will also have hector and the twins prepared. And I will tell tuco all of this after this visit is done. If we are attacked or dead, you will know it was the chicken man."
So ta da, they go check the laundry, Lalo checks the place, Gustavo gets nervous, Lalo eventually finds the underground lab, and then the rest is history. Gus is found out and is skinned alive by the cartel. With Lalo taking Gus’s place of owning his territory. All without Gus being aware to all of this. Such as Lalo going to the cartel.
Now don't tell me this isn't the best case for Lalo to think, the reason why he died is because of Gustavo plot armor and the continuity of breaking bad. So with that being said, am I in the wrong? Did I made any mistakes? I mean here, let me answer the first response of someone saying "well how could Lalo find the specific button for the underground lab?" Well is the fact that Lalo knows there's an underground lab, if he couldn't find the button to the lab and Gus was trying to prevent Lalo into finding it. He could simply have the cartel drill a small hole on the ground of the laundry and eventually finding the lab.
In short, Lalo shouldn't have gone on his own for proof and died. That the reason he died is due to breaking bad story. And that this argument proves that he could have done it the smart way. Heck hector was telling Lalo not to go on his own and kill Gus as a way of getting proof.
Edit: I will add a few more details for this post and main questions you may have. I will also add a bit of context towards Lalo’s character. Among other things you may be interested and wanna know. Also if I could add photos, it would further increase my point. But it’s already too late for that.
As for the questions that the cartel won’t listen to Lalo, that Lalo thinks the cartel is against him and working with Gus. That the cartel won’t kill Gus. That the cartel views Gus as a money maker. That the cartel this or that against Lalo. Let me answer all of this by stating a few facts shown in the show.
Fact one: After Lalo’s death, Gus and Mike hides any traces of Lalo’s presence. Now why would they do this? Oh right, because they don’t want to be exposed by the cartel and being found out that Lalo and Hector was telling the truth. Meaning there will be consequences if Gus is exposed for this. And that is death. That just proves the cartel would have killed Gus if Lalo went to the cartel and exposed Gus.
Fact two: Lalo is shown videotaping himself and him talking to the cartel. Now this proves that Lalo knows the cartel isn’t against him. That Gus is the mastermind to caused all the shit to happen. That Gus is plotting against the cartel. And I already said this in my post, that he was talking to the cartel, that Lalo knows the cartel isn’t against him, but people ignored this and say that the cartel won’t listen to Lalo and won’t kill Gus even if they found out the truth. That Lalo somehow thinks that the cartel is against him. Which at this point is debunked.
Fact three: Why is it that in Season 6 Episode 9 of better call Saul, the cartel when meeting Gus was very much shown to be serious and angry at Gus for said allegations being told by Hector? If you guys say that the cartel wouldn’t kill him for what he has done if exposed, that the cartel viewed Gus as a money maker, why is it in the show it showed the cartel being serious about some of the problems I have mentioned. Hector only mentions some of the problems that is listed in my post, such as Gus causing Lalo’s death, Gus lied about the Nacho story, and that he is plotting against them. And these are just 3 problems that got the cartel being angry at Gus they have found this was true. And in my post, I mentioned a lot of problems that Gus has caused for Lalo to wanting to expose Gus.
Fact four: Nacho is literally killed simply by the fact that he told the cartel for causing Lalo death and Hector to be paralyzed. Imagine what would have happen if Gus was found out to be the actual person to cause Lalo death and Hector to be paralyzed. That and other things Gus did.
Fact five: The cartel has shown many times to the viewer that Lalo knows the cartel despises Gus. The show showed many times that the cartel is unknown to Gus’s plans. Also even Eladio knows Gus hates him, he actually took Hector statement seriously by being told by Hector to look Gus in the eye. but his greediness is what caused him to underestimate how much of that hate was actually in Gus. Thus if Lalo did what I explained, Eladio will definitely got him killed after finding out how much hate was actually in Gus’s mind against Eladio and the cartel.
Fact six: Gus’s death will not cause any money problems for the cartel. It sure will cause some but it will not affect them. If they found out what Gus did and what he was planning to do, you bet Gus would have died. Also Lalo literally said in the show that “Imagine the money you could make with this lab.” Well he didn’t say that exactly but it was close enough. Also if you guys think Gus’s death matters to the cartel, then why was Lalo filming himself talking to the cartel about exposing and killing Gus? If you guys said Gus’s death does matters to the cartel? Oh yeah, because after exposing Gus and showing the cartel of what Gus has done, Lalo knows the cartel will skin him alive and have him killed. Lalo isn’t dumb. Also after Gus’s death, they would use Gus territory and whatever Gus has. Such as Gus’s money.
Fact seven: As for Lalo showing some hate against the cartel, such as cursing at the cartel. Well did you ever wonder why he did that? It was because of the fact that Lalo when calling Hector, he suddenly had an angry outburst. When he is usually calm and never takes his actions in terms of emotions. Why was he angry and later shown cursing at the cartel? Well it is because they haven’t figured out that Gus was behind all of this mess hector and Lalo was in. The mess the cartel was all gonna be in. That is why Lalo was angry. Imagine if you were in Lalo’s place? The stress you are having all being caused by Gus. So him cursing at them doesn’t mean Lalo will kill the cartel or plot against them. Because as I said many times, the chicken man is the cause of all his problems. Which angers him. But this doesn’t mean he hates the cartel, he is later shown videotaping himself and talking to the cartel of exposing Gus who is causing this stress on Lalo.
Fact eight: As for Lalo specifically talking to Eladio, well have you ever wondered why? He is obviously the boss and isn’t like Bolsa who somewhat backs up Gus. Thus in a scene from “Plan and Execution”, Lalo told Don Eladio while videotaping himself telling him about Gus secret underground lab being made to overthrow Eladio. And that Gus will be prepared for such a good story as to why he has an underground lab. Which Lalo says that Bolsa will back up Gus considering Gus makes money, or as Lalo says “Earner”. But at the end, he is filming all of this to prove to everybody, including Bolsa, that Gus is the snake. That once he gets the proof by exposing Gus and his underground lab, people will realize Gus is the snake and he will be killed. Thus in the end, he was talking to Eladio, but obviously he wouldn’t show this film to just Eladio, he would make it a movie and have everybody watch how wrong they are about Hector. Given both Hector and Lalo the pride they are missing due to Gus being the cause of all their problems.
So because of this, simply saying Lalo won’t be listened by the cartel, that they won’t be bothered by some hear say by Lalo about the underground lab, that the cartel is against Lalo, that the cartel is this or that against Lalo. That this plan will not work is all out of the picture. You guys can literally agree and say yeah this could have worked. Instead of saying things being debunked as shown in the show. I can tell the cartel as shown in the show when told by Hector about some of these allegations against Gus will take Lalo seriously. That and basically the facts I have listed.
As for Lalo not doing this, well yes, he would have actually done this if breaking bad didn’t exist. I made this post as closely to Lalo’s character as much as possible. He is shown video taping himself and talking to the cartel about exposing Gus and his secret lab. He is told by Hector to not do this as a way of finding proof. And he literally knows there’s an underground lab. If I could think about this and connect the dots of Lalo doing this, then Lalo would have thought of this already in the show. But if this happened then there obviously wouldn’t be no breaking bad.
There are many chances where he could have simply gone to the cartel and did what I have explained. But the answer as to why he didn’t is—you guessed it—breaking bad. This obviously explains why the creators of the show made sure to make the ending of Lalo arc not to retcon breaking bad. There are posts saying why Lalo failed to kill Gus? And the responses I have seen from people is mostly made up and unnecessary. When the simple answer being—you guessed it— breaking bad. You bet Lalo would have killed Gus if Breaking Bad didn’t exist, instead he just died due to luck. So all of those responses from people explaining why Lalo failed to kill Gus is actually unnecessary.
Now some of you could make up some other low effort reasons, such as arrogance, anger, or whatever as to why he didn’t go to the cartel. But based off of his character, Lalo is known to be calculated, smart, and not like the rest of the Salamanca family. He isn’t crazy and dumb like Tuco, he isn’t grumpy or have anger issues like Hector, he isn’t like the twins who are quiet and robotic. That is why fans love him so much and it even made Gus scared because of Lalo. As again, Lalo is literally shown video tapping himself, talking to the cartel at the very end of his final scene between him and his fight against Gus. Meaning Lalo at the end of his life doesn’t hate the cartel despite cursing at them. And he cursed at them due to what I have already explained. And heck, Hector is angry at Tuco and cursed at him behind his back once he found out Tuco punched a guard while in prison. Further damaging his chances of getting out of prison. Yet that doesn’t mean he will kill Tuco or not work with him.

Am postat initial pe CasualRO dar se pare ca acolo daca nu faci glume in reply-uri ca sa primesti karma nu ai voie sa postezi asa ca apelez la ajutorul vostru
Salut,
Dupa cum spune si titlul am nevoie de sugestii pentru un birou reglabil pe inaltime. Lucrez de acasa cam 3-4 zile pe saptamana plus weekend-uri uneori si fiind o persoana dinamica as vrea sa lucrez si din picioare.
Pe birou trebuie sa incapa doua monitoare de 24" (pe care probabil le voi inlocui la un moment dat cu ceva mai mare), laptop 16" (am un desktop Intel NUC nu foarte mare dar am si laptop), doua boxe, router si prizele aferente pentru dispozitivele utilizate. M-ar interesa ca biroul sa aibe si un sistem de cabluri sau prize/porturi USB-C/USB-A pentru alimentarea diverselor dispozitive (2 boxe USB-C, 2 telefoane USB-C, ceas USB-A etc) incluse ca sa nu ma chinui cu cabluri pe jos ca acum. Prizele USB-A nu sunt obligatorii pentru ca pot folosi si porturile din calculator dar prizele USB-C da. De exemplu acum am doua prelugitoare care alimenteaza astfel: 2 monitoare, desktop, telefoane, router, network extender.
Biroul ar trebui sa se poata regla usor pe 3 inaltimi prestabilite aproape zilnic eventual electric daca acest lucru nu se poate manual fara sa dau jos tot ce e pe birou.
M-am uitat pe oferta de la Ikea dar nu prea mi-e clar daca cele manuale se pot regla fara sa eliberez biroul. Am vazut un birou la SecretLab care mi-a placut si pare ok pentru ce am eu nevoie dar si pretul e pe masura (900 EUR cu reducere la care se adauga si transportul din Polonia). Nu am o problema cu suma dar daca gasesc ceva mai ieftin nu vad de ce as da atata pe un birou.
Multumesc

Spooner, the retired ref with 32 years in the league, said he thinks Paul has been building a calculated campaign against Foster.
“I’m going to tell you, and I know you are recording me, but I get asked all the time: ‘Who are some of the tough guys, some of the bad guys?’ And when I tell them that Chris Paul, in my 32 years in the league, was one of the biggest a–holes I ever dealt with, they say, ‘Not Rasheed Wallace … or da-da-da?’ Nope. Nothing like (Paul),” Spooner said. “And they are like, ‘Oh, he seems like such a nice guy.’ And I say, ‘Yeah, he’s a great image cultivator.'”
