I actually wanted to make a thread on this today and advice newbies finding it hard to get jobs to not give up.

We are an agency and not a product based company so I can't really say how this will affect us yet. As for work I work more hours and work weekends to make myself more valuable to the company i work for. I have been doing this for the past three months now and got a raise. Monday through to Sunday at least 10 hours daily.

I would say if you have a job put in extra hours. Justify your position and your pay. For those looking, don't be discouraged. Booms and bust are part of life. It's why you need to build reserve and avoid lifestyle inflation when the money hits.

It's not easy and it's not even December yet.

My only problem with this layoffs and hiring freezes is that they will make remote roles very difficult for Africans to get. There's very few remote roles available now compared to when I started in 2020.

Calm down oh. No go kill yourself on top work.

However, few remote roles? Honestly, with the way things are going out of hand I hope.... Nevermind

Don't follow the crowd. Stay here, u hear?

You dey follow bigbashiru dey argue . Person wey dey support Mr agbado and Buhari

buymyride:
can you please explain the picture to me. I’ve stared at it too long and still don’t understand it

You can only understand if you've watched SpongeBob. The guy in the picture was known for always being miserable.

I always knew that growing up is frustrating but damn, I never knew that it would be like this

[quote author=JOACHINpedro post=118103230][/quote]I swear . I never really understood why Squidward was so miserable till I hit 18.

Degenerate comments everywhere

This is what someone was complaining about in another thread. Any small thing, the average African would think about stupid superstitions

Calm down and breathe oga. You're pissed and we know it. I'll admit you're right that Africa is terribly backward, however, I don't agree that we're useless. Human beings are capable of so much, but we allow stupid things like religion and culture to limit us. Just do you and try to be the best

MALIGNANTGuest:
KIDS are explorers and sneaky in nature.
Some would want to climb those fences to still explore.

A 3 year old can't climb that fence. Make una rest. Main fact is someone like davido should have had a something like that around his pool. Nigerians spend most of their lives trying to impress people who don't give a shit about them.

Funny enough, the rain don stop for Enugu. Drought don dey come

Who cares? Mostly dumb people use the shitty app anyway. Even if he and his fellow awon buy and run to the ground keeps on buying more companies, forums or social media apps, people will still make more.

quentin06:
Yap, I said it! Very soon we shall be paying monthly fees to use Twitter, Facebook and the likes.
Just as YouTube allowed free video downloads up till 2020, and stopped it, so shall all free content cease.

Probably paying monthly fees to breath oxygen in Nigeria, as some contractors on this forum already have the contract.

YouTube still allows free video downloads.

pocohantas:
The exact problem, Nigerians know they treat their maids unfairly most times, that is why they are always looking for minors. I can’t keep a minor in my house as a maid. I can never do it o. If say na 24yrs old girl carry belle now, would we be having this topic?

Laws are in place for a reason.

Exactly what we fail to understand. Nigerians will always look for ways to cut corners. If your grandmom is sick and needs a caregiver hire one or leave her to die. Simple. All this child labour nonsense sickens me.

pocohantas:
This is another reason I don’t endorse underaged maid. Nothing on this earth can ever make it appealing to me.

If you are not 22yrs and above, I have no business with you. Shalom!

Will any sane 22 year old agree to work for maltreatment and unbalanced diet? That's why these child traffickers and molesters go for underaged children as maids. We're still living in the 17th century in Africa

micxwell:
That's it, you point me to a write up online. I'm talking about your own experience of using SSDs or the people you know directly. All things being equal, the life expectancy of a good SSD is around 1million hours which is over a 100years. The write ups make it look like they'll get damaged faster than HDDs but I have seen more damaged HDDs in the last 3years when compared to SSDs.

Read this article and stop disturbing me:

https://techmonitor.ai/technology/data-centre/how-long-do-ssds-really-last

SSDs use the same technology to store data as your sd card. And we all know how unreliable SD cards are. After reading it, please don't mention me.

I pity those who think of this guy like some kind of freedom fighter

ChrisP92:
How come d U.S did not see this attack before it happened?

The way most of you think ehn

womenareapezz:
abeg sorry!

Please my apology! I thought it was that guy I'm arguing with. Please do accept my apologies

No worries

armadeo:
Same here abandoned it at s3

Honestly, it was so dull, and I disliked the complete overhaul of the former characters.

womenareapezz:
na your papa no get brain ediot

nawa oh. It's not you I'm talking to.

micxwell:
Not entirely true though. Can you show me or point in the direction of a SSD storage that has failed after a prolong use.
I've seen many HDDs fail.

Bro that's a known fact. If you doubt me check online.

womenareapezz:
see your head self?
Na only intel dey make processor? AMD rayzn and the latest amd processor are still using Hq processor with those intel lake and some of them.
Oga Google be your best friend abeg .

No dey argue with person wey no get brain. People who boast with their knowledge are usually stupid. Remember the Dunning Kruger effect.

InfinityFabric:
SSD are not Created equal
- SSD
- SSHD
- SATA
- NVMe on PCIE 3 vs PCIe4 vs PCIe5

Then by form factor
- M.2 (2230 , 2280) etc
- mSATA
- 2.5"

I do not care for HDD, this is 2022. They're only useful for keeping backup files.

How do you want to get defeated? What language are u writing ? Probably JavaShit (JavaScript) or Java ? Or SnakeLang a.k.a Python. All bread and butter.

you really have issues brother. I use C by the way. Who cares if you don't care about HDD?

Hannibal season 1 & 2. Those two seasons can compare with Mr Robot and Breaking Bad to be honest. Hannibal is not for the faint of heart, the gore is something else, and the heartbreak . But season 3 was just garbage. I don't even think I will ever complete it.

InfinityFabric:
This is where you're ignorant and dumb.

Before we go further, how many cores does 12900H has and what are their names ?

who is arguing about processor cores Oga? You want to do dick measurement as an enthusiast with a programmer? The main fact is that most of what he said is still relevant now.

Is there a new storage technology apart from SSD and HDD? Has a new Operating system been made that is wrestling the market from Windows and Linux? Is HDD now faster than an SSD?

FireUpNow:
It's the WIFI card and I am not where the laptop is right now please when I get home I will snap it and send. When I try trouble shooting the cause what it's not connecting it said it could be broken. It was working excenrly before

Note the word 'could'. I highly suspect that a driver is missing. When you get to your system, use a driver utility like driver easy to check for missing and outdated drivers, if the issues isn't a driver problem then open your laptop and take a picture of the WiFi card. If you do not know how it looks like check online for your brand (you can get this info on Windows).

If they had notified the resident countries it won't be an issue. China ehn

Chinedu1994:
I have a ton of tutorials on Web development and Python, I learnt these to an extent but I lost interest.
I am a fvcking computer science student.

Maybe if school resumes, I will get back at it though.
It's boring and tiring when you learn alone. I haven't written a code in months. My computer is now for watching movies. I am tired of this world and it's problems sef.

There's nothing I haven't dabbled in.
I have tried beat making. I currently have a beat making software on my computer, but I don't learn it anymore.

I have Android studio installed, but I don't learn with it anymore.

I have pycharm installed, but I don't use it anymore.

I have C++ compiler installed, but I don't learn with it anymore.

I have blender installed, but I don't learn animation making anymore.


I have eclipse installed, but I haven't opened it for months.

Then I created 5 blogs, but I lost interest.

I AM TIRED!

Go and learn C Mr Man. If you are ready self I can teach you. Here's my email address: richarderalt@gmail.com. send me a mail, I don't understand nairaland's primitive DM system.

henryvirus:
Most importantly the purpose you want to use it for. If it is just ordinary everyday use, typing, movies etc. There are different recommendations depending on what you want to use it for be it programming, graphics designing/video editing, etc.

Very true, though with how much overbloated software is being released nowadays (from Operating Systems to the smallest utility), it's better to just get a high end system.

FireUpNow:
Please can a wireless card be replaced of the one on the laptop is broken because I am having a brok n wireless card issue

Firstly, do you mean the wifi card? If you do, How do you know it's broken? Share pictures of this broken "wireless card" and you'll get help immediately.

InfinityFabric:
The guy wrote this in 2016 and Nairaland is making it FP in 2022 knowing well the info in here is beyond outdated.
This is disingenuous.

everything he said is still relevant Mr Man.

KvnqPrezo:
Hard Drive or SSD

I don’t need to explain this one, it may be referred to as hard disk or non-volatile memory. You basically store all of your files in it, including the Operating system. In laptops they mostly come in 250 GB, 320 GB, 500 GB , 700 GB and 1 TB of size. Hard drive are usually made up of mechanical rotating system.

SSD also known as solid state drive, does same thing as the hard drive, but, it does it better and more efficient. SSD’s doesn’t have a rotating mechanism, thus consuming less power and performing cooler. SSD’s are faster than hard drives. So having a computer whereby the operating system is installed on SSD will perform more efficiently compared to a computer using hard drive.

SSD is a newer technology, but soon will have more laptops with SSD’s, thereby rendering hard drive to become a thing of the past. SSD’s come usually in 80 GB, 120 GB, 200 GB, 320 GB and 500 GB. You may even have them in 1 TB, but, may render the laptop to be expensive. Therefore, money comes in again.

To check the size of a hard drive or SSD on a Windows Computer. Hold Windows KEY and E together. Then locate MY Computer, then check the size of the main drive, usually C. See image below⬇
From images below since Nairaland don't allow us to insert images to our post, you will notice the C drive is 133 GB of size. Another partition with D also has 34 GB, so adding both results in about 170 GB collectively. Therefore my laptop storage is 200 GB SSD.

A laptop with large disk memory space like 1 TB may be more preferable to some one than a laptop of lower disk storage depending on the purpose the laptop will put into.

You forgot to mention that SSDs have a terrible life span and read/write cycle compared to HDDs. HDDs will not fade out any time soon because they will still be the main choice when it comes to cheap, and reliable storage mediums. SSDs are only relevant to gamers.
