  • why cant we connect 2 computers using USB

    Jump

  • I have taken the A+ certification on two separate occasions and the first time I walked in with no training and aced it. The second time I walked in with no training and I struggled but I still passed.

    The CompTIA certifications do get updated on a roughly 3-year cycle, but even so they're never going to cover everything and even if you can pass the test it doesn't actually mean that you are a competent IT person.

  • Yeah I only learned about that in the comments down below. I was just going off what they taught me when I took my network+ what 3 years ago?

    Ethernet being reconditioned to Auto negotiate crossover connections was not covered or if it was it was a blurb and I forgot it in the meantime.

  • I was not aware of this!

  • You would also need a type A to type B ethernet cable, AKA a crossover cable.

    Without that you will need some sort of switch to act as an intermediary between the two devices.

  • Human beings are bioluminescent.

    We glow so faintly that we can't see each other in the dark but we can be picked up in the dark by sensitive enough equipment.

  • Is there a "personality test" you've done you found helpful?

    Jump

  • Most personality tests will not tell you anything about yourself that you didn't already know, it will not give you any insights into the correct way to live your life or what is going to work for you.

    However, it can help you frame things about yourself in a new light or to help you come to understand the way that you work inside of a larger social picture.

    So they don't work to tell you who you are, but they help you be who you can be.

  • I'm of the opinion that everything that gets passed off as a meme isn't necessarily a meme. Sometimes they're just funny pictures. (Actual humor content may vary)

    Memes should have something to do with a commonly understood phrase or thought in the culture and highlight those.

    Of course, with enough push those funny pictures can become memes but ideally they would start as a meme and then have comedy added to them.

  • What was your most recent dream?

    Jump

  • I wrote it out as if it were the spec script plot of a movie.

    Guys out with his friends watching the eclipse and all of a sudden some other guy walks up behind him puts an umbrella up and covers over the view right at the apex of the eclipse. He turns to look at that guy and the guy says don't look at the Sun. As soon as he says that all of the main characters friends suddenly explode in a puff of dust.

    The guy starts freaking out and then eventually they end up working their way back to the house as he has the other guy the angel explains what is going on

    It's the end of days. the eschaton. And the Sun is claiming every single person it can.

    This guy claims to be your angel. To prove it he shows obviously hobbycraft Dollar store wings and a Halo that's clearly being supported by a strand.

    The guy says that there must be something going on I'm going to look at my phone as they're driving around and right as he's about to open up the news the guy slaps the phone down and it says don't look at your phone.

    As someone who freezes the video should be able to see a picture of the eclipse on the phone, from a camera stuck pointing up at it and everyone who looks at it to turn it off instantly explodes

    Why did the angel save the man? Is the Angel actually an angel? What things happen?

    The angel says that the guy is not exactly the best dude in the world. And given that is the end of days this is the last chance you'll have to make everything right and the angel kind of goofed off a little bit so you know I got to figure out a way together to get him into heaven so that the angel also gets to go to heaven and to do that they've got to do some good deeds really fucking quick, well everyone that even catches a glimpse of a reflection of the eclipse Sun immediately explodes into dust.

  • What's your fave movie of all time that you love to recommend to people?

  • There is a small chance that it is on Disney Plus, but I don't have a Disney Plus subscription anymore so I can't verify, I just know that they purchased studio Ghibli.

    Jump

  • I've seen it once, and I seem to be practically psychologically unable to cry, so rather than crying I walked around feeling like I was carrying a hundred pound millstone around my neck for about 4 days.

    It's a beautiful movie with every last single one of the studio Ghibli traits that you have come to know and love.

    But it's not a cartoon for little kids. I highly recommend that you watch it at least once if you haven't, just don't let your kids watch it until they are adults.

  • My guess is that if you're going to start a MSP you can do that with Foss and probably have a lot of success as long as you've got the sales chops to get the contracts.

    Then you can funnel some of your customers money to foss well also increasing awareness and adoption of the better free and open source software programs

  • Most of the small to mid size companies that I have worked for would choose a larger more established system that costs more even if it offers less over a self-hosted one that they had to pay some sort of fee for.

    Is like this weird idea in the business world that if you're using Foss systems that it must be completely free, and that the reason why you are using it is because you are broke or cheap.

  • I work in it and one of our employees brought a laptop to us that had been completely and thoroughly dismantled with a screwdriver.

    She told us that she wanted to remove the hard drive but she couldn't find it.

    It had a flash hard drive that had been detached from the board was sitting next to the Wi-Fi card.

    Me and the other it guy just kind of like looked at each other for a minute and then got her a new laptop.

    To be fair she was due for an upgrade anyway, but I've never had anyone dismantle their soon to be recycled devices.

    Do you have any evidence that they are collecting that much data in telemetry?

  • gotta get a new printer

    Jump

  • I bought a Samsung mono laser and printed approximately 400 pages on it before the fusor broke and would cost more than the entire printer did to replace.

    I was past the 6-month warranty as well so I chucked it and bought a $10 Brother MFC-7860dw monoprinter from the thrift store that printed in the store.

    It turned out that it would jam like the grateful Dead if it printed more than one page though.

    Apparently that is a common issue with them and inside of the printer there is a small cork pad that gets twisted down and hits every time it picks up a new sheet of paper and the cork had gotten sticky somehow.

    The fix for this incredibly complicated and delicate procedure is to open one side of the printer and take a piece of Scotch tape and cover over that tiny cork pad.

    I did that 7 years ago and it still prints perfectly today.

  • I think we are a lot better at pretending that people don't kill each other often and for little reason than people from 1,000 years ago.

    It's almost as if the reason it was made into one of the ten commandments was that people did it so much that the leaders at the time felt they needed to try to put a stop to it.

    Probably the same thing with lying and lusting after your friend's wives and properties. In lieu of a government and system strong enough to protect you, you would have to defend yourself against your stronger or better armed neighbors taking everything they want from you, including your life.
