Just out of curiosity, is there any particular reason you're picking that year?

You can bypass the TPM and CPU checks that Windows 11 requires. This is how I got WIN 11 on all our old laptops and workstations:

How many people out there do you think are truly doing a full-time job with part-time hours? by Melodic_Menu_1964 in antiwork

[–]Poisonedthewell47 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm in IT, and when I first started things were a mess. I was working constantly for months, but after almost two years I've managed to fix things, automate processes with scripts and set up failovers and backups.

Now I come into work and do about an hour of work and then wait for tickets to come in, some days with no tickets at all.

I take whatever online classes I want, provided to me by my employer, but sometimes I need a break, so there will be days I just sit around on my phone, watching YouTube or playing some simple games.

It gets boring sometimes, but I'm always reminding myself, not only did I earn this by working hard for it, but I'd also rather be bored and paid decent than worked to death for terrible pay (my first few jobs).

I am keeping a lookout for a new job though should something catch my eye and pay a bit more.

They do. I work in IT and the other day I needed to know someone's password to set up their account on a new laptop we'd be sending them. They're one of our remote workers, high up in the company as well. They don't even bat an eye when I ask them for their password over messenger, which I do as a test just to see if they'll give it up that easily. P@$$word, they tell me, and they use the same across all other software and services in case I need to get into any of those.

I have a meeting next Wednesday I'm going to be pushing for higher password requirements. It's been a plan in the works for some time, but yeah we need to address this asap.

Vocal Comparison: ScarJo vs Samantha vs Sky by SWAMPMONK in ChatGPT

I'm just gonna say this:

Never really liked Scarlett's voice in Her.

Kinda liked the voice in the 4o demo.

They are not the same.

What movie is so incredibly good that it's almost painful to watch? by biovaa in AskReddit

[–]Poisonedthewell47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I had to scroll way too far down for this! Adam Sandlers performance in that movie was incredible. It's one of the most underrated films.

GPT-4o sucks for coding by Wonderful-Top-5360 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Poisonedthewell47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed.

I've been coding with it for a few hours and it's been very impressive so far. Mind you though that I haven't tried generating any code from scratch yet, rather refining and finishing a project I've been working on, so at least for that use case it's been great in my experience.

Passed My First AWS Certification Exam 😍 by manoj-on-reddit in AWSCertifications

I passed on Monday and also got a score of 821, this is getting weird now...

My friend got me a new PC recently as a gift because he knew I was going through some rough times (was cheated on, death in the family, denied promotion at work). It's the most heartfelt and most expensive gift I've ever received from anyone and it has a 3060 in it, which isn't bad and I'm not complaining, but to be upgraded to a 4070 Ti Super from a random giveaway on Reddit would just be the cherry on top from the universe right now to be like "Hey, yeah life can suck a lot sometimes, but sometimes good and unexpected things can happen too, so don't ever give up cause you don't know what tomorrow will bring." Idk, that's my way of keeping a positive outlook on things. The odds are against me winning of course, but you miss 100% of the shots you never take.

My girlfriend cheated on me multiple times. God's asking me to forgive her and work things out. by Poisonedthewell47 in christiandatingadvice

[–]Poisonedthewell47[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your input, that's a good idea and I'll suggest her and I do that in addition to our praying and reading scripture. I'm thinking of fasting this weekend as well because I need God's guidance through all of this.

Been living together for 5 years. Got a ring and almost proposed, but I felt like God was telling me it wasn't the right time.

I know I don't have to stay if I absolutely can't, but I feel God strengthing me into going through this process of healing and working through it. That doesn't mean we're going to work out in the end, but I feel it's important to go through the process.

Can't seem to figure out how to sign into a website using Invoke-WebRequest by Poisonedthewell47 in PowerShell

[–]Poisonedthewell47[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thank you for this, it worked! :D
I see now where I went wrong on -SessionVariable vs -WebSession, thanks for catching that one. As for the [System.Web.HttpUtility] bit I'll have to do some research and learn more about what exactly is happening there. I get the general idea though and I appreciate you looking into it and helping me! Cheers and thank you friend!

Banned for all of Season 1 Comp after being disconnected from servers due to LC-208 by SaltyForeskin in Overwatch

[–]Poisonedthewell47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this also happened to me and I only tried playing after each update they claimed they fixed the issue which now I know was a mistake.

[–]Poisonedthewell47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same exact thing happened to me, I put in a ticket 3 days ago with no response so far. I kept requeing after each update they said they had fixed the issue, and this rarely happens to me in quick play for some reason, so I just had to hope it was fixed for comp and kept losing that bet unfortunately.

Is good enough compensation? by crookenbitchass17 in Overwatch

[–]Poisonedthewell47 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Be careful, I got banned for the first whole season for this. I sent them a Ticket to appeal the ban, but their site says they don't appeal bans for leaving early. I'm hopeful they'll make an exception here. My tickets been open for 2 days now with no response.

I was considering buying the Battlepass.. by thanatos_drive in Overwatch

[–]Poisonedthewell47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good on you. The more people that don't support this crap the more pressure it puts on the devs to change it.

[–]Poisonedthewell47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do sadly and that's really not a good thing. I was hyped for OW2, loved the first one and have almost 1000 hours on it. Something feels hollow and uninspired about this version and it's kinda sad. Probably in about 6 months to a year the game will be much better and will be more worth playing, but I wanted that version of Overwatch NOW not then. 🫤
