When someone previously told a vrtx vm not to auto boot after power up and none of the remote access is working either… Both undocumented as well, of course. And your tired AF tech is statically configuring the wrong IP range on their laptop to manu because it’s been a long shutdown day and are also unfamiliar with the system in general (me). Good times, I figured it out though, but lots of sweating and swearing.
Pretty much when I bought my house it’s been mostly grown-up feeling since then. Interest rates, insurance rates, and debt-service ratios are always in the back of my mind now.
Once I pay off my vehicle debt I’ll be able to bankroll a better house outside of town with some land. Assuming shit doesn’t go pear shaped in the next 3-4 years…
Also, playing the “should I dump my bonuses into my RRSP or pay down debt” game… never had medium or longer term goals before.
He’s like Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon, obviously
Mine goes: zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out, zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out, zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out, zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out, zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out, zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out, zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out, zoom in, zoom in more, zoom out.
“What do you see when it’s coming back up?”
“Right back to the problem I’m having!”
“So you don’t see [insert OEM logo here]?”
“Nope. And it’s still frozen!”
“Where’s the power button you’re holding down?”
“On the monitor!”
Open the window and throw it out, please
I wash my face with my shampoo and then bar said the rest of my body
As someone living around the Timmins area, we’ve imported some hot climate individuals and still have room, send them up! The Northlander should be running by then /fingers crossed/
He’s still wearing it when he feeds the pupper his night night yums, which would be after the appointment and after picking up the prescription.
“Not bad” potato salad is still potato salad. If it was “pretty good” it would’ve been 3 plates.
Which would be lame to do in the view of said youths, no?
I had something like this one. It was the ram. If I powered off, shut off the PSU and unplugged, then reseated the ram and tried again it would come on. Upgraded the ram and the issue went away.
Also, if you encounter this with a Dell laptop, same thing (just make sure to disconnect the battery before touching the ram).
I work in IT and right now it’s a group of CCTV IP cameras that have a patterned flicker at certain times of the day but on random days. I’m pretty sure I’ve boiled it down to either a heavy power draw from other equipment or the shitty segregated network they’re on. I’m in the middle of desegregation and network uplift and the pool is shrinking so I might have it figured out finally but it’s been months still hella random.
When we do it right, you forget we’re here and we’re ok with that.
I prefer that when done properly a network admin is simply forgotten about.
Where’s my network admins at?
iPhone SE - work phone provided by work. No idea why iPhone vs Android other than general uniformity and maybe security. I do have the choice of Android or iPhone for my next one, so who knows. Really tempted to go for Pixel Pro because I’m still not used to the differences in navigation a year and a half later. I fuckin hate my work phone. It doesn’t help that my personal is a Pixel 5 and I use the shit out of the back sensor, gonna miss that when this dies.
Apple AirPods Pro - these were a gift when I visited a sister site and they’re awesome. They were better before whatever firmware update happened that forced them to Adaptive Audio or Transparent though. Kind of annoying, but still awesome for being free.
Physically impossible as per our current understanding of physics, mathematics, and technology.
I was 33 for almost 2 years. Covid did a number on my interpretation of time…
No, this is Patrick
