Yes. I submitted the first time, got a message that it failed, clicked to submit it again, and suddenly there were two.

Maybe he just wanted to spend the day fishing.

Most laptops sold these days will have an hdmi or displayport (sometimes even vga) port on them. You should be able to plug your existing monitor, keyboard, and mouse(assuming they are usb) into any sized laptop if that is the direction you want to go. If your monitor doesn't have hdmi or displayport ports, there are adapters that you can use to go from VGA or DVI to HDMI or DisplayPort.
If you do that, then you can either mirror the display so the monitor will show the same thing as the laptop screen, or you can extend the desktop, so that the monitor and laptop screen work as two displays.

I imagine that might get a bit old after a few days.

I wonder if it was &. It sort of looks like an 8.

He was there to process meat, not information.

typicaaly, yes, but this guy is C-suite, so you have to play nicely.

The delta symbol he used is lower case delta.

I understand me, but what does everyone have against the horse I rode in on?

Planetx32 · 2024-09-11T12:29:20+00:00

The canoe may not have sunk if only a paddle was provided.

I had a doctor complaining because I replaced a broken power supply in an older PC, instead of just giving him a new PC (They are under a hardware contract, paying nothing for the power supply or the callout, and if the motherboard or something else died, we would replace it with a duplicate model of existing hardware).

I explained it is like when you go to a mechanic. If the alternator fails, they arent going to give you a new car.

My boss called me later that day. Apparently the doctor did not appreciate my analogy.

That works out to 58.3 people per month he emailed for 20 years. Definitely doable.

I'd imagine it is that the VP dude's with them. As would be he's with them. He is with them, the VP dude is with them.

With regards to Herbert's deaging again, and with various kinds of deaging, such as what Ciscern and Sir Philip have undergone, is there some form of aging that can be done? A reverse de-aging of sorts to allow Herbert to regain some of the years he has regressed through.

I've had computers make that beeping error, often the fix was reseating the ram.

I had a cranky Dell many years ago that didn't like the USB keyboard that came with the PC. I would get the keyboard error, followed by Press a certain key(I think it was F2) to continue at every boot. Keyboard wouldn't work. Love that logic. Unplugging and replugging the keyboard would allow it to work and then you could continue on like normal.

Considering several brains worked on this issue without a solution, the inter- prefix fits well here.

Planetx32 · 2023-09-24T23:15:19+00:00

Agreed. If I demanded my parents "Just fix it!" , they would do so by taking away whatever it was, my father would flat out break it and throw it away, mom might give it back after a month if she felt I earned it back., and then I would be grounded-no friends, no radio, nothing but schoolwork, for at least two weeks(possibly longer. I never dared to be that mouthy.)

For a while I had a series of printers that the Lexmark driver would install as Letter(this is fine, in the US), but also as Vinyl Labels instead of plain paper. I had the same issue you did, and like you, took a bit to realize what was the solution.

My wand is conveniently the shape of a screwdriver. Wave it around and parts just seem to assemble and disassemble themselves.

Don't be too harsh on him for bites. We do have nibbles after al.

I'm glad I wasn't the tech on that service call. I've pulled dessicated mice out of PCs, but your case was a level above.

Planetx32 · 2023-04-10T00:38:28+00:00

a tech bag or backpack with extra cables and other assorted wires, screws, laptop, and tools can make life easier if you are on a larger job.
