My old boss called me, said please come to my office… my laptop will not turn on and I cannot figure it out.

I get there, he tells me to please help him, he is probably being stupid.

I look at his laptop, I see his charger plugged in, I follow it down the desk, across the floor all the way to the wall socket where the plug lies…

He had walked the charger’s plug to the wall socket and just left it on the ground.

I plug it in, he sees me do this, laptop turns on, I leave.

Someone writing on that show had to have worked IT at some stage.

A lot of things that happened in that show resonated with my IT support experience.

I saw some clips on YT where they removed the laugh track.

It’s really hard to find the show funny when they take out the bit where it tells you when to laugh.

Back when we used to head over to someone’s house for a LAN, there was one guy that had a massive CRT monitor and if he degaussed while our monitors were close to his they’d all degauss.

None of ours were able to trigger other monitors, only his.

How I heard it a while back was:

Canada is the nice apartment above a meth lab.

I don’t blame you, thought the same and already seen a few today.

Lore maybe?

There are often a lot of communities that love reading into the lore of characters, even shooters. Overwatch is a good example of this.

I know exactly who it is.

Actually, I’m just going to accuse the one person I know that will be the most upset about me calling him out as Trump.

I willed this into existence.

Dammit!

I said this as a joke nearly a month ago on Discord.

I remember when people were selling Dota2 invites, the price was way too high for me but then again I didn’t really have interest in it.

Well, I got invited somehow and when a guy I worked with heard, he demanded my Steam credentials.

Why? Because he wanted to play.

I told him no, that’s not happening. So he tried to guilt me, be a bro!

No, because that means I will be locked out of my games. Whenever you go online and play I will get kicked out of Steam and unable to play my games.

So? he says, do me a solid!

Told him to stick it. I did not trust him, he used to tell me stories of pretending to be a girl in games for free stuff. He pretended to be a girl in WoW and so many guys in his guild would give him free stuff and boost him through dungeons.

But yeah, scalpers suck. But I also don’t understand wanting to get into a beta that badly that you’d pay that much for it. I guess some people are loaded and that amount is nothing to them.

I used to work IT at a school and reports were emailed to parents as PDFs.

We got a complaint from a few parents saying things like, why are the reports PDF? Not everyone has Acrobat Reader, you should be sending these out as Microsoft Word files.

I then had to tell them that unlike Microsoft Word, Acrobat Reader is free to download and install. Anyone can get Acrobat reader or another PDF viewer, but not everyone just has Word on their device nor are they willing to buy it.

I didn’t mention the part about a Word file is easy to just edit.

I’m also going to assume that some of them are using a work laptop where they have Word installed and no admin rights to install a PDF viewer and too lazy to ask IT.

This image smells of AI.

The eyes look odd, looks like some lace in her hair that is the same colour, strands of material in her hair that leads nowhere the pendant on her necklace has broken lines, extra line under her middle finger, no nails, extra material on her dress pointing upwards to her collarbone.

I don’t think the person who is credited this actually created this.

I miss my Voodoo 2 3000 AGP card.

I got an ABIT Siluro/ Geforce 2 MX400 after that and Diablo 2 ran worse, the frame rate tanked. I was gutted.

Back in the day I tried to play Morrowind but every time I moved my mouse the game would crash, I started removing hardware until I found out it was my soundcard giving me issues, was an old ISA slot. Got a PCI soundcard after that and no issues.

Those were the days.

It’s like when they were spraying the trees with green paint.

I’m also using FanControl and I think it’s great.

My case fans ramp up based on my GPU temperature.

The only issue I have with it is it needed an AMD plugin to work with my GPU, no biggie. But the AMD drivers seems to fight FanControl over the GPU fan speed. I may have done something wrong but they seemed to affect eachother. So now I control my GPU fans from the AMD drivers and the rest of my fans from FanControl.

Don’t forget to backup your config file somewhere. I’d hate to lose my config.
