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.

Maybe it wasn’t the first time or maybe they were transferred to a position that was “invisible” to OP, you never know.

“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

It puts the homemade chilimac into the waffle iron

Add a little liquid soap for nonporous surfaces like counters and stove tops, great grease and stuck-on fighter especially if combined with a scrubber. Damp cloth to wipe up after and you’re shiny.

Welcome to Costco, I love you!

Definitely not upset lol

I promise

That’s most of Canada really, outside of southern Ontario and Quebec. Sometime in the last 12 months Eastlink dropped their gigabit cable by $40 where I am so I’m hopeful for incoming competition finally. My 5 year goal is to move outside of town, so I’ll likely be going with skynet because I highly doubt I’ll have much choice.

Even if it’s shit, there are options for internet so long as the sky is accessible.

Choose the recluse house! I bought a cheap house with neighbours and now the recluse houses are expensive. I made the bad choice.

100% but 3840x2160 and small taskbar icons?

Maybe not your edit, but excellent work Helldiver! The up vote pails in comparison to how much I love this.

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?

Just the one?

I have a workday routine setup to turn specific lights on for set stations. If my bathroom vanity and kitchen lights were capable of taking smart bulbs, I wouldn’t have to touch a light switch in the morning. It also means I don’t have to fumble in the dark, half asleep.

I also have another similar routine but for when my wife gets up with the kids for school.

Being able to let the kids keep a light on but at 1% brightness is glorious, because it’s a nightlight they can’t pull out of the wall.

Mood lightning in not just brightness levels but also colours.

Granted half of what I said is capable without a voice assistant.

Also I discovered that simulated grey light is a thing and it’s awful… But I learned that because of my voice assistant.

I would like those but I also live somewhere where Ford fusions have light bars so I try not to care too much anymore.

Mine has “auto brights” that I swear were designed by an evil bastard. They flashed people often enough that I’ve taken to turning them off and just go with my normie lights unless it’s country driving now.
