    If it's not a registered business the IRS does not allow you to deduct expenses other than the miscellaneous deduction.

    Only if you itemize, right? EDIT: Actually, no, you're wrong: Unless you mean using your hobby expenses as the sole contributor to your miscellaneous deduction.

    You can run a Logitech mouse without the software, just config the onboard memory from a virtual machine or another device. :) All my keyboards are Corsair and I absolutely love my K70 RGB TKL. I have the MX Speed variant and I might buy the MX Red variant just so I can hot-swap them. :) I...

    1099-K Changes Coming in 2022

    Under the old IRS definitions, for an expensive hobby like magic cards you could just consider that your lifetime year-to-year costs of participating in the hobby on average offset whatever you made from the hobby. As long as you didn't operate an actual business like a physical or digital...

    1099-K Changes Coming in 2022

    You used to just be able to say that your hobby expenses cancelled out your hobby income, but that changed after 2017, aka not "the libs fault." This is when I stopped bothering to sell magic cards for extra money. This was part of the Trump tax "cuts" when they increased the standard...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Most companies have probably not even found half the servers that are vulnerable to log4j on their networks, let alone patched them. Hopefully most have patched the ones with public-facing network interfaces. Hopefully the ones with public facing network interfaces have some kind of IPS in...

    If you work in tech and don't hate everything about the products you work on, you're weird. Right, that's my point. If you offer bottom of the barrel pay, the only people who're going to accept the offer are shitty, and the only people who stay there are crap pay are people who think they...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    You're missing the fucking point, as usual. If you pay shit, the only people who stick around are workers who are shit. The supply of good workers is shockingly finite, but if your pay scale is built only to attract shit workers, you will end up with shit workers. So yes, it is Blizzard's...

    No amount of "nerd cred" is worth getting paid literally 1/5th to 1/10th the salary you can get elsewhere. The market for technical talent of any kind has been hot for 8+ and getting hotter year over year.

    Blizzard's real problem is that they pay garbage. When you pay garbage, you end up getting bottom of the barrel employees, or spoiled trust fund kids who don't have to pay their own rent. If, over a long enough timeline, your company becomes filled with only the people dumb enough to stay at a...

    After getting it to work on my laptop, did some more troubleshooting and found out the Windows Store was just totally fucked on my main PC, would not reinstall the Gaming Services service properly, therefore nothing would work.

    It's a practically brand new Windows 10 install from the Microsoft tool. A few weeks old. I think it must have something to do with the fact that I run Windows 10 for Education (even though I installed all the Xbox components) or it wants me to totally uninstall MSI Afterburner + Rivatuner...

    Is the Game Pass App a giant piece of shit for anyone else? I've tried every fix and I cannot get games to fucking download, and the app constantly goes non-interactable.
