ICQ was still online!?!?!
I stopped using that shit like 25 years ago. Thought died in the late 90’s

Yeah… I’m not gonna worry about it until maybe September next year.
The clinic inoculated itself.
Pirrrrrrrr = Pir^8
I need a documenter!
I have a head full of stuff that hasn’t had time to be documented, and being a single point of knowledge isn’t job security, it’s a major risk.
My code gets documented. But so much infrastructure is just held in my head as senior SysAdmin. Wherever possible I just have a ride-along “up-skilling” (works like a RAID mirror for my brain).
The car was the slow part, I have an S23+.
The wrestling was figuring out getting BT audio ONLY.
And until I reset the head unit to factory previous users, contacts, radio stations and destinations were all stored there.
Not great on a rental car.
Not the whole phone obviously. But syncing all my contacts, recent calls etc.
Bro couldn’t even clean his room in 3 days.
I’m happy with a Bluetooth connection to the stereo. I have maps on my phone.
Fuck carplay/android auto in the ear.
I hate getting a rental car and I just want my music, but it tries to hijack and download my whole phone.
I want to get in, connect my phone and go. Not 20 minutes wrestling it for control.
Digital displays are fine. It’s just a display. But controls should be manual (buttons, dials, etc) that can be operated with eyes on road.
Motherfucker!
If I was given an AI interview I would burn that place to the ground. The fucking disrespect.
It’s a fucking arrow pointing from big to small. It has a big end that goes at the big number and a small end that goes at the small number.
It couldn’t be simpler.
People still can’t remember.
I mean I get having trouble with Trig… But this ?
I remember a PC (286) brought in for repair that had blown a fuse in the power supply.
Nothing was visibly wrong, so I replaced the fuse and jokingly said, “Well it’s either going to work, or it’s going to explode”.
I turned it on and the CPU promptly blew itself to bits. Literally “Bang” and the CPU was a few shards stuck to the pins (286 was soldiered directly to the main board).
People make mistakes, that’s why we automate things. If a system relies on a human not making mistakes it is doomed to fail eventually.
Saving manually should be a feature, but autoaave should be on by default these days, unless 30+ years of people losing work due to not hitting “save” manually has taught us nothing.
Crashes happen. Errors happen. Pets and children happen. Any major document editor should be able to auto save and replay a very long history of actions.
Improve the system, because you can’t improve people with a code patch.
A massive swathe of current gen devices don’t even support it.
It won’t be a month.
Microsoft announce changes much smaller than that 4 years out and still have to give extensions.
WQ = Write and Quit Q! = quit and do nothing else
Multiline cut, copy, paste is where I forget commands.
Formatting in Word is so easy.
If this issue from 1997 is still affecting you, you probably still use Internet Explorer.
Skill issue.
I have yet to see any evidence. Just that the CEO is a crypto/AI enthusiast. Not that it was used in the game.
It really just looks like someone tried to make a better Pokemon game.
Not the sort of game that appeals to me, but I’m glad people are having fun.
I’m waiting for the reveal that all assets have been AI generated.
No. Some of us were already there.
Lifetime Microsoft expert here, I have had machines with Linux in one flavour or another for 15+ years at least.
But for ease of use I just keep coming back to Windows… Because I know it backwards and upside down.
The structure of it makes sense to me. And I have ADHD so I have a terrible working memory and Linux relies FAR too much on command console to do anything effective.
But Linux is hands-down the better system to get away from Microsoft’s enshitification of Windows. But I personally like Windows better.
So I will always run both. But if I need to be really productive, Windows Desktop it is. If I need a server, Linux every time. (Unless it’s MS SQL or a website).
I SMS my boss when I’m off sick.
