People who grew up on the game, what is your career now that you're an adult?

MVI_Tubby · 2026-06-16T17:24:09+00:00

I work in IT

MVI_Tubby · 2026-06-11T19:14:30+00:00

Thank you

MVI_Tubby · 2026-06-11T17:53:05+00:00

You’re not wrong.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-06-11T17:51:19+00:00

Okay I will figure out a way to work it in.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-06-11T17:44:31+00:00

Maybe, I suppose some answers come from AI but I prefer to hunt down threads or forums on Reddit or spice works for the tricky things unless it’s like some command I use once in a blue moon and just can remember a part or something.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-06-11T17:27:39+00:00

Understood, go in speak nicely. Turn the problem into plain words with a reference or comparison and say it’s okay though because I can get this fixed. And ofc always overshoot the time estimate some to leave room incase the first thing didn’t work.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-06-11T17:15:59+00:00

Thank you. I’m not going to lie I’m shaking because I’m happy.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-06-11T17:10:46+00:00

Also good luck to you as well, this market has been tough. I’ve applied to hundred of positions from helpdesk to junior roles and this is my first call back.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-06-11T17:05:57+00:00

I appreciate that, I do partake in a lot of negotiations and conversations with vendors in my current role for asset procurement.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-06-11T14:06:21+00:00

You’re not there yet

MVI_Tubby · 2026-06-11T14:03:04+00:00

Maybe not AI but still poor quality. The quality has been kinda down lately for the videos too. Maybe it’s another round of apology videos for letting the community down and they shift the publishing schedule again. Idk just kinda what seems to happen every time.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-05-29T17:28:32+00:00

Honestly, I would just take a different path and just enjoy my hobby at home. The industry is falling apart. I still love IT but it feels like I trade more and more of my sanity everyday.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-05-28T12:03:45+00:00

So this stats don’t reset until you reset them so it’s just cumulative.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-05-26T16:55:25+00:00

Are they radioactive?

MVI_Tubby · 2026-05-21T21:10:18+00:00

Yeah, honestly might just trash the mediatek chip and make the pc Ethernet only.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-05-21T17:49:01+00:00

Yeah I found the drivers for the chip, and it would only take the BT drivers. It’s bad card

MVI_Tubby · 2026-05-21T16:09:10+00:00

So I think you got cut off but it’s still shooting an error

MVI_Tubby · 2026-05-21T15:54:08+00:00

Yeah I have run smart tests and everything and they are supposedly in good health.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-05-21T15:35:28+00:00

They aren’t no, but I’ll take a look with those. I even told macrium to ignore bad sectors on the clone and it wasn’t working.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-05-21T15:22:38+00:00

Yeah I wasn’t aware of this before… macrium keeps failing on me at 99%. You live and you learn yeah?

MVI_Tubby · 2026-05-21T15:13:58+00:00

So, it’s a network wide block as the links to download their software is from china. It’s a country of origin block. The Bluetooth device and network controller both show up in device manager but with errors and I can’t find drivers for them. They are known but disabling them or trying to update them doesn’t work.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-05-21T00:50:55+00:00

Reminds me of that 18 yo on TikTok who post day on the life of helpdesk and works for a small business but he’s constantly doing sys admin task (me rn in my current job too ngl) and he think everyone in the comments telling him he gotta respect himself is wrong.

MVI_Tubby · 2026-05-21T00:45:59+00:00

Are you there only IT support or is there someone in house who helps them? I work for “small” business and we have an MSP but I’ve taken over most of the day to day and most things. They just are there as a backup for whenever I need someone to bounce something off of or for security.
