I could understand that if they were an overseas company, but they are from the US. That had to be one of the most incompetent customers service reps ever.

My boss convinced me to make a pricing calculator for our contracts using Excel with macros. I pushed back and said we need to use Power Apps, CRM, or anything other than Excel. He said it would just be a POC/wireframe we’d use to build a more permanent solution with later.

Well 5 years later, there are like 2 dozen versions floating around with different macros, pricing, etc. And of course I’m the one who gets messaged every time some makes a change and breaks the damn thing, or some sales person is convinced it’s not calculating correctly. I fucking HATE that Excel sheet.

So I have a conspiracy theory around that. Android used to put the volume slider at the top of the screen. At some point they moved it to the right side, and now blocks the skip button on YouTube. I won’t doubt this was done on purpose, so if you lower the volume for an ad, you will be forced to watch more of it.

Got to get those datetimes properly formatted. I can’t hate on that

Reminds me of a guy I knew who kept getting letters for a $10 parking fine he got while at university. He waited until they spent more in postage than the fine before paying it.

My first thought too. I can listen to their entire discography without skipping a single song. And they are even better live. Saw them a month ago and even after tonsil cancer Mike hasn’t slowed down a bit.

I was 8 years old when I moved to Texas. I’ve never been more disappointed than the first time I saw a roadrunner. My only frame of reference was Looney Tunes.

We mustn’t dwell. No, not today. We can’t. Not on Rex Manning day!

Do CentOS next

All extremely valid points. Especially…

7. your mindset needs to change: you‘re now a guy responsible for implementing rdp correctly, embrace open source and make it work for everyone. See the amount of influence you can actually have.

This is the mind set I need. I was most likely so frustrated at the driver issues by this point, I probably didn’t give it the go it needed. Like I said when it came to compiling a dev branch, I just said f it. Hopefully I’ll get some time in the coming days to approach it with a fresh mindset.

It certainly made me think back to my early days of fighting IRQ conflicts in Windows ME. Or trying to get a LAN party going with mixtures of 98, 98 SE, and ME. And getting excited about the troubleshooting. I guess all these years later I’ve just gotten salty.

Damn autocorrect

So, I’m coming to learn that about Nvidia. I figured with the 3080 being a few years old now things would be alright. I was wrong.

It was a strange one. I had never seen anything like it before. It could still see the hardware, but listed it as unclaimed. Nothing I could do would get it to start working. When I finally decided to reinstall, I figured I’d try a different distro.

I’d prefer separate windows for each monitor. I tried both ways but it really didn’t like my setup.

I tried Remmina and it wasn’t working either. I couldn’t even get it to connect using the same settings as RDP free.

I agree. The majority of my issues come down to the manufacturers. I even updated my BIOS to see if it would help with the ACPI issues, but no luck. Motherboard is 3 years old, so it’s not like I’m trying this on brand new hardware either.

Guess I should have said love USB, but some old habits die hard. Either way having to go in and disable ACPI just to get it to boot is not something most people would be comfortable with.
