So as a few of you know i work at Intel, yeahyeahyeah
Well most of the computers i actually work with and i am on are actually P4's. Not kidding, My system happens to be a dual xeon with server mobo, but its not that amazing to work on to be honest, and not to mention how slow the internet is there. Im sure there is important people streaming stuff but seriously its intel? they should all be using AT LEAST c2d. But P4? seriously
/rant
But other then all the really old hardware and exceptionally slow interwebz the job is pretty chill, what i actully do is i VNC into a virtual machine (somewhere in another state i believe) and then that vm connects to a htpc board that sits in front of me and i run video tests on a tv that also sits in front of me, everything from TSI tests (which is streaming video test, what i do is remote desktop to another computer that is hooked up to the test board via a fatass cable then run the test) to Impairment tests (where i remote desktop to another computer that is hooked up to this impairment box that basically fucks with the packets that come in and out of the streaming tests, and that basically tests the boards ability to maintain a picture under a bad stream signal) My boss' are pretty badass to be honest, i can text my girlfriend and pretty much surf the web while i wait for test content to download, its real chill. But yeah, there is my experience so far
