It's giving me system recovery or checkup options. I'll run the checkup but at this point I'll put Fedora on it. #FUWindows

Windows: "But muh vidya games!"

@kamidon Indie games are great. I'm actually getting into some indie board games. I know @coliver is big into board games as well.

Check out Pixel Glory and Boss Monster. Super fun. My fiance thinks they are really cute games so maybe your wife will like them as well!

Will do! Thank you! Hopefully it's for PS4, I'll check now.

No. Sign up for Microsoft ATP or at least weigh the cost difference.
You get a ton of benefits with that licensing too, plus an incredible dashboard.

Ohhhh haha, they're card games. Well she might take to that...maybe lol
She does love board games, hmmmm I'm unsure about card games.

Another option is Freshdesk, I have an IT buddy who kept trying to get us to switch over to that one, but eh...While it looks great, it seems about the same or worse than Zendesk GUI-wise.

@scottalanmiller As do I, I absolutely LOVED the base building system in the last game in the main series and definitely want to see that expanded.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, I freaking love Elder scrolls!

What happen to the discussion about building out a new computer or refurbished computers?

Nervously looks around UH uh, he started it!

@scottalanmiller TES edit Online is fun......but I'm done with MMOs, they're all the same and very boring end game.

@krisleslie said in Spec'ing a new computer from Dell or?:

some of the systems they sell can come with 4-8 GB of RAM and NOT give you an option to add more ram (intentionally) because they removed the slot! So if you want brand new, BE WISE AND READ!

This sort of crap pisses me off.
This and: "Oh you want the i5? Well that only comes with 8GB of RAM sorry, you need to order the i7 to get the 16GB of RAM. Evil laugh ensues (probably)

@WrCombs Definition of myself...ugh.
Can we just do like the matrix and I can download information to my brain?
"I know Kung Fu"

@WrCombs OH I just LoVe BeInG oN hOlD WiTh VeNdOrS!

@WrCombs Wow, yeah I think I'd rather shove my junk in a pencil sharpener

Dailywire.com Ben Shapiro. lol

@Dashrender said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Hell, she probably doesn't even know what GitHub is... or what code sharing it. Geez she wants you to work back in the 80's in a soap bubble.

What ever happened to working smarter, not harder?
And what's wrong with third party software? Are we just making shit up now just so you can look all high and mighty? WTF?

I wish I knew. I don't think she likes me, since I started, she actively tries to find any small mistake I make and report it. I've been here three months and they already put me on some, "Coaching 'Program'", which is bullshit, it's just them going over things I supposedly need to work on.
Ok like her and my other supervisor claim I do not work with my teammates enough or communicate with them...not true, I just haven't needed help with a simple little Powershell script...So now I ask my coworkers in an email stupid questions just to satisfy their want for me to collaborate, despite me being tasked soley on this project..."Project".

I mean ffs it's a script, I literally had it done in 6 hours, then they wanted more added on every few days or so. Ridiculous.

Oh and get this, I have nothing to do, Monday I tested the last addition they requested me to add on the script using Fiddler (I installed a super old ISAPI Module that converts the X-Forwarded-For to the Client-IP Column in the IIS logs). But yeah, since Monday, I've been doing nothing.
They said I can't watch videos (despite literally everyone having three monitors with one of them playing a video, but because I'm on probation, I guess I have to follow the rules.)
I'm seldom on my phone, maybe once a half hour (I think that's seldom probably haha), but I've been told I'm on it "Everytime I walk by" according to this same boss, which is absolutely untrue.

So yeah, it's been Spiceworks and Mango lol.

@scottalanmiller I will definitely do this. It's absolutely ridiculous. We have these meetings every two weeks, we'll have our third one supposedly next week.
If they bring up another "mistake" I will absolutely say something. (one example of a mistake, I didn't hit reply all on an email...The email was regarding this script project I just wrapped up and I had a specific question only my boss could answer lol...It's just silliness. I look forward to someday climbing up not having to deal with this sort of micro management like my coworkers.)

@travisdh1 Oh ok good to know, I just didn't want to ruffle any feathers.

@scottalanmiller Man thinking about RTS games has got me thinking about Empire Earth...Whew that has to be the toughest RTS ever!
Tough, but once you finish a level on the campaign (or if you EVER beat the AI even on the easiest difficulty on a skirmish), you feel AMAZING!

Captain Marvel, she flew through a ship and destroyed it in 5 seconds, ship likely has the diameter of a mile, yet she gets tossed around effortlessly by Thanos...Duuuuuuuuuumb.

That was some fan service teaser of her powers. Just like what happen when Superman showed up kicking ass at the end of Justice League.

Plus Thanos sucker punched her using the power stone.

Yeah of course.
Yeaaaaaaaah...plus they have to make it cinematic.

I was able to suspend my disbelief right up until the "Female Heroic Pose Before We Save Spiderman" moment. That was so artificially set up. I enjoyed the rest of the movie, and I do my best to not think about things too hard.

Just another one of those fan service teaser. A-Force teamup scene.

I'm generally fine with fan service, but that was such a jarring moment in the narrative flow. To go from "we're fighting for our lives against a powerful enemy that has all of us engaged" to "let's get every single female (many of whom didn't even have more than one line if any at all) into a single camera shot to pose for the audience" was more than my suspended disbelief could take.

But they have to be "woke".

@dafyre said in My Weekend Linux Misadventure:

This may have been mentioned, but make sure your laptop doesn't have an Intel GPU and an NVIDIA one. That gives me fits every time.

Nah just nvidia, I double checked during troubleshooting.
