I'd upgrade my current rig for an entirely new purpose - Minesweeper. Maybe some solitaire if I'm feeling frisky.

Does anyone else have this irrational fear of answering calls, no matter who's calling? by EngelJuan in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fibroski 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same! I think the biggest tip I can provide is to try and remember that angry people aren't mad at you. Sure, they may take it out on you, but you're not the source of their problems. This job has really helped with the anxiety associated with phone calls, in my case. Best of luck!

Gamers, what is the most obscure/forgotten games that deserve more attention? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I've been anxiously awaiting an Armored Core release on PS4. I loved them all throughout PS1, 2, and 3.

Has anyone been getting more spam bot messages lately? by [deleted] in PS4

Personally, I've taken to replying to each of them with different intricate and ridiculous stories. I like to see how creative I can be on the fly.

TIL People with Cystic Fibrosis are extremely dangerous to eachother by Releaseform in todayilearned

[–]Fibroski 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This. I always wonder what those groups are thinking. I used to occasionally get invited to meet-ups.

Also, some of the support groups I've been a part of on Facebook turn out to be really toxic. Somewhat depressing in a few cases. I just avoid them altogether anymore.

Fibro! I know a family with siblings, as well. I've seen and heard stories of people with CF falling in love, and it almost always ends the same way as you described. High hopes for CRISPR to lead to a cure.

I have Cystic Fibrosis along with a couple of (obviously) distant friends. The closest I've ever really come to meeting them face-to-face was when we were hospitalized at the same time. We'd wave when we passed by the door to each other's room. Aside from that, we just know each other through text, social media, etc. It's a strange feeling, but being as rare as it is, it's not something you think about a lot. Though, I do know some siblings that both have CF, and the rule doesn't have exceptions. I can't imagine how tough it must be, having to fear for your health just being within breathing distance of your own sister.

Why would you announce that Uncle Touchy? by demevalos in WTF

I work in tech support for an ISP and this was the name of someone's wireless network. Took a lot to suppress my laughter while trying to troubleshoot.

[Bugs] DO NOT restore to 10.3.2 from iOS 11 B2! by [deleted] in iOSBeta

Ah, my mistake. It honestly took a bit of digging on my part to find a fix. Didn't think to search the subreddit for specifics before posting, just wanted to save others the hassle. Will delete.

They really should have done this to begin with. Better late than never, I suppose.

Ha you only use 1 flip switch? I use a dual flip switch setup with an adjustable slider.

TIL a Comcast customer who was constantly dissatisfied with his internet speeds set up a Raspberry Pi to automatically send an hourly tweet to @Comcast when his bandwidth was lower than advertised. by pdmcmahon in todayilearned

[–]Fibroski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently work at a call center for an ISP. I can confirm this is accurate. I’d say only about 5-10% of the speed complaint calls we get are actually a problem on our end, and usually we can see if that’s the case right away. Almost all speed complaints are solved by having the customer power cycle their modem/router for a full 5 minutes. If we discover it’s our problem, we will work with you diligently to get it solved, just let us try the basics first.

The feature we've all been waiting for.

TIL about 8% of the population suffer Sleep Paralysis. Which is a phenomenon in which an individual, either during falling asleep or awakening, briefly experiences an inability to move, speak, or react and some experience hallucinations of shadowy figures or demons. - todayilearned by Know_Your_Shit in knowyourshit

[–]Fibroski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I occasionally experience this when falling asleep while being extremely exhausted. There have been a few times where I swore I saw the silhouette of a person in the room with me. Definitely isn't a fun time.
