    🤓Don’s Bio🤓
    America's #1 Nerdy Comedian
    What do you get when you cross an Engineer with a stand-up comedian? You get Don McMillan. This former chip designer has been doing his one-of-a-kind, PowerPoint-Driven comedy show for audiences for over 20 years. In his show packed with graphs & charts, Don will show you the funny side of your world that has been sitting right in front of you - you are just too busy working to notice. Don graduated from Stanford University with a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering. He then went to work at AT&T Bell Labs where he was part of the team that designed the world’s first 32-bit microprocessor. He then moved to Silicon Valley where he helped launch the start-up company, VLSI Technology. Then after 15 years in the tech world, Don quit his job to become a stand-up comedian. That year he won $100,000 as the Comedy Grand Champion on “Star Search”. Don’s been seen on “The Tonight Show”, “HBO”, and the “Comedy Central”. These days, Don spends most of his time writing and performing customized corporate comedy shows for companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Ford Motors, and Exxon/Mobil. Don has performed more than 800 corporate shows in the last 20 years and he was named the #1 Corporate Comedian by the CBS Business Network.

      @@Vivi-yw1eu The divisions are the same, and it'd be more accurate to say that Kelvin is based off of Celsius, but calibrated to absolute zero. (Celsius came first and Kelvin is based off of it. The SI system may use Kelvin to define Celsius, but that doesn't change that Celsius came first.) But no one outside of some scientific and engineering professions uses Kelvin, really. That's the joke.
      And as for if you understand one, you understand both, I disagree. I'd say that if you understand Kelvin you understand both, but go ask any random person anywhere in the world, and not just the US, what Kelvin is and I bet the odds are really good they don't have a clue. It's kinda like saying every millennial or zoomer knows how technology works. I can guarantee you that most of them don't. Most couldn't even explain how a basic electric circuit works.

      @@riel0563 I was friendly with a coworker that was a die hard apple guy, I myself was a Microsoft person (largely because the apple OS makes no sense to me and frustrated me). We had interesting conversations, he did try teaching me but I couldn't get past the idea that dropping your files in the trash=ejected media. In Microsoft that's one oops away from file retrieval. He on the other hand couldn't understand my obsession with having multiple ways of doing the same thing and customizing literally everything. Which is exactly why we fell into the camps we did.
      Honestly, once we figure that out we got along pretty well. We still would fire shots at each other but for fun, you know like we found a new insulate to try.

Where not having pipe dream set as your screen saver might end with a hit and run. Where your boss is so clueless he doesn't even know we gave him an actual mac because we hated him that much AND THE BONE HEAD NEVER FIGURED IT OUT AND HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN CHARGE OF USE!!

    I actually think MacOS and iOS are better than Windows and Android. I'd still never buy an Apple device because
    a) I use Linux on my PC, which is better than MacOS still, and I couldn't live without the freedom that OS provides
    b) I'm not gonna pay four figures for a damn phone. Yes, there are also Android phones this expensive as well, but at least there are cheaper options; with Apple, even the cheapest new iPhone will cost you 500 dollars at least. For my use case, a 200 dollar Motorola phone does just fine; when I want to take high quality pictures, I just take my Sony camera with me that produces better images than any phone ever could.
    c) the repairability of Apple devices is almost nonexistent. I'm pretty competent at fixing my own stuff; I've taken apart and successfully fixed tons of computers, laptops, phones, smart speakers etc., sometimes going as far as to solder in new ICs. I've repaired a MacBook exactly once, and it was such a pain in the a** that I never want to do it again. Who the hell thinks that using glue instead of screws for an electronic device is a good idea?!
