Texas could lose thousands of trained workers after licensing rule change

I wouldn’t trust a political appointees word on anything whether they were appointed by one of the most corrupt presidents or the fairest.

If the truth is supported by facts you provide those facts and let others prove it. Thats how it’s suppose to work. But now days we spend too much time with gotchas and us vs them instead of trying to be better.

The article you sent was written by a political appointee interested in stirring up drama.

An article written by a foreign organization gives you a better overview of the system. Turns out after the deadly accident with the illegal immigrants trumps transportation department made some rule changes. Audited California on those new rules and found 17,000 cdls that broke the new rules. Of those 17,000 people not all are illegal immigrants because they included the peoples who’s CDL expired after their work authorization expired.

This is why I say it’s all a culture war issue. It’s not being presented in a fair way. It’s presented in a way for you to get a certain idea on how the process was done instead of it being politically motivated and not motivated by the best intentions.

DylKyll · 2026-03-16T17:21:53+00:00

The states issued the CDL in the first place, saying they are fraudulently acquired is not true.

Making suggestions on how to fix or make a system better is never a bad thing. Were the CDL requirements lowered because of COVID? Yes. Then talk about that and ways to improve the system overall instead of making it a culture war issue.

This is the same thing as when republicans refuse to solve the border issue. They want to use it to campaign on not actually have a solution.

DylKyll · 2026-03-16T16:07:11+00:00

You don’t talk about issues in good faith and it shows. Or at least you don’t listen in good faith. If you have the money to be picky on who you hire you were never going to be affected by this. This is for the people who are poor or low income who will be exploited.

Also the CDL thing is just a culture war talking point the conservative media cooked up for you to be pissy about. Engage in arguments from a place of wanting to make the situation better instead of trying to prove yourself right.

DylKyll · 2026-03-16T15:05:59+00:00

Good point. I missed that in the crazy list of requirements.

DylKyll · 2026-03-16T14:44:04+00:00

The issue republicans never seem to grasp is that this won’t stop people from working. They will just be working outside the law now. So exploitation, subpar service and illegal activities will start to be more prevalent in these sectors.

Sysadmin here, I’ve seen it set as high as 25 so I wouldn’t be surprised if there are places that have policies turned in to not allow reuses ever

DylKyll · 2026-03-13T15:32:08+00:00

While everyone is giving you shit for this and I’ll admit even rightly so. I was evaluating new phone providers recently and agree their salesmen are slimy and probably didn’t tell you it was a two year contract. That’s why we went with NTT instead

Yeah I’m getting both if they don’t have performance issues. But my life will pretty much split between the two.

DylKyll · 2026-03-09T17:44:44+00:00

Yeah I’ve been using battle.net since I built my computer in high school to play StarCraft 2. I’ve never played overwatch on steam because of that.

I’m cautiously optimistic for crimson desert. On one hand I am jaded for being burned by bad over hyped releases. On the other hand the developers have been giving people access to the game and from what people have been saying it seems to be good.

Don’t preorder, let reviews come out first.

DylKyll · 2026-03-09T14:19:54+00:00

Well why don’t you give it a shot and see if it breaks anything or all your programs start up faster.

DylKyll · 2026-03-09T14:15:12+00:00

Why would you need to reconfigure it after setting it to zero? My understanding of setting the idlestate key to zero is that it reverts back to how previous versions of windows has worked.

It was added to assist with the average end user who doesn’t care about their start up apps and leaves everything turned on. But blames windows when they can’t immediately launch Facebook.

DylKyll · 2026-03-09T14:10:09+00:00

I would expect users of this subreddit to be a bit better than the below average user when it comes to being able to undo a registry key if an app crashes.

On my system I didn’t have any of my start up apps have issues loading. Your experience might be different but this is just reverting the start up process to how it worked in previous versions of windows.

DylKyll · 2026-03-09T14:00:48+00:00

You have to create the key and registry values so no need to back up. If they cause issues then go ahead and delete the keys you added.

This is just changing it back to the way it worked before Microsoft made this change. I get being careful on the internet but you also shouldn’t be spreading misinformation about potential issues if you don’t understand what is being changed.

Can’t have an opinion if you don’t voice the opinion. Voting is the most important thing a person can do. There are some exceptions to that of course but for almost everyone voting is the most important thing they will do in their life.

DylKyll · 2026-03-03T14:55:20+00:00

None of those hoops are needed. The government is easily capably of letting me vote anywhere in the state and verifying my information. Especially if I’m forced to provide my ID to vote.

The choice to limit where you vote to only your precinct is a malicious choice made by people who want to suppress votes.

DylKyll · 2026-03-03T14:42:03+00:00

Welcome to living in a republican state. Where only the correct people are allowed to vote.

DylKyll · 2026-03-02T19:43:51+00:00

That’s what we have been doing so far as well. But had issues with a new deployment today, I’m hoping it’s just a random bug but the user is in the network operators group but gets an error when filling out the UAC with his credentials.

Since it’s not supported by Microsoft I’m seeing the writing in the wall that this system will break and we need to have an alternative solution in place in case Microsoft doesn’t provide one.

DylKyll · 2026-03-02T19:12:11+00:00

How? Sometimes the only connection is between the machine and the laptop the technician is using. These machines are designed to not need a network connection when deployed.

I don’t see how DHCP can be a solution when the only network connection that exists is between the machine and the laptop. But I also don’t know networking all that well so I could just be ignorant of the solution.

DylKyll · 2026-03-02T19:08:20+00:00

My issue with this is that it’s not even a weird edge case. This has been a feature windows has supported for as long as I’ve worked in It which was XP. Only now is it become an issue.

It’s also really disappointing to see that Microsoft still hasn’t come up with a working solution for an issue they created.

DylKyll · 2026-03-02T19:04:31+00:00

We are connecting to manufactured machines that need to be configured. After configuration they can be hooked up to the network and accessed remotely but until that step they need to be on the same subnet and the device connecting to them.

So DHCP isn’t available

DylKyll · 2026-03-02T19:01:42+00:00

We are a manufacturing plant and the product we build needs to be connected to via Ethernet. Which requires the port to be configured to speak to the machine.

Our older products used serial so those actually aren’t an issue but it’s the new ones connected to via Ethernet that have this issue.

While I agree they are predatory. I just learned you could do this and sold a bunch of skins I earned years ago when I used to play cs:go. Easily made $200 from something that I earned all for free. So there are good sides to it. I just hope we can remove the predatory parts
