Spiderwebs or insects can mess with the sensors, likewise with dust. Try spraying some canned air inside. Or if it’s a few years old, you may want to replace it.

I’ve run into this a few times. If the culture and benefits are good but we can’t level on pay, I let them know that I can’t accept the offer but I refer them to a colleague with less experience for whom the pay would be appropriate. After over a decade in leadership I’ve had many employees, and I’m always looking out for ways they can step up the ladder. We’ve gotta have each other’s back in this job market.
These jobs are all pushing 6 figures tho. Not sure what kind of job would try to push 36k on a professional position.
I had no idea there was a word for this, I’m the same way.
This was a common April Fools prank back in my day. We would put a startup script on a person’s computer that opened their CD drive at random intervals. Drove them nuts!
Running from something that is trying to kill me and being chased. Occasionally it catches me and I start screaming in my sleep. That was a fun one to explain to my boyfriend when he moved in.
For Windows I like 0irc. It’s extremely lightweight and portable. For a browser alternative, KiwilIRC works in a pinch.
Hmm. Maybe I should just toss Ubuntu onto it and use a Bluetooth mouse instead of a controller.
I tried libreelec over the weekend but Plex and Netflix both failed to launch. I Googled the error and people advised to manually downgrade the add on versions, and it looked like a troublesome process. Maybe I was doing something wrong?
Active, then I switch to New once I’m caught up

For individuals, yes. For organizations, no. Orgs who know what they’re doing use a HSM for their data encryption. Thus the title of this post is inaccurate.
But from the consumer side, I am absolutely never going to buy a “Copilot Plus” device, whatever that is.
I thought that surely it couldn’t be that bad. But…
“Recall uses Copilot+ PC advanced processing capabilities to take images of your active screen every few seconds,” Microsoft says on its website. “The snapshots are encrypted and saved on your PC’s hard drive. You can use Recall to locate the content you have viewed on your PC using search or on a timeline bar that allows you to scroll through your snapshots.”
I once worked in IT for an MSP that kept beer on tap in the office for this exact reason. Techs were encouraged to have a beer or two when stumped on an issue. It worked surprisingly well.
This did result in a few years of struggling with alcohol issues tho.
Margaret Hamilton!
Pokemon Go. It will entice you to take long walks in areas that you may otherwise not visit. I moved from a rural area to a big city and play Pokémon Go daily with my pup, rain or shine. We end up spending hours outdoors and it’s done great things for my mental health.
I had a Sony Vaio desktop around 2002 or 2003. I believe it had a Core 2 Duo and 256 MB RAM. I eventually doubled the ram to 512 MB and added a 64 MB graphics card to play FFXI in 2004.
Ironically my first cellphone was also a Sony. It was an Ericsson flip phone around 2008. I was working at RadioShack and got to watch the smartphone evolution in real time, so that was pretty neat.
I also came here to recommend lemon bars! Here’s a viral recipe that everyone (including myself) swears by.
This is such a wonderful throw-back
Excuse me sir, if I may offer a rebuttal: Fuck you with a cactus.
Gen Z struggles with file systems in general, because the vast majority of their technical experience is on mobile OS’s. However, Gen Z compsci students are somehow far beyond the skill set that millennials had at their age. Or at least that has been my experience with interns over the past 12 years.
