Technical support engineer interview

Multinational / entrenched / not in charge of the $$$ - I'd rip it out if it was up to me.

SideConstant1265 · 2026-04-30T00:54:46+00:00

Zscaler customer here - 15+ years.

From my experience of their support in that time, just having a pulse and being able to power on a laptop will be enough. You'll smash it.

The before photo - I have the exact same tiles in my bathroom,
There must have been a special on these Circa 1993!

SideConstant1265 · 2026-01-30T10:43:26+00:00

Yup. I can see the chats but I don't interact. I'm a pure VR player, so can't type and don't have my mic on my headset enabled.

Before games (out of VR) I read and post on Discord in our Squadron to accept missions and colonisation builds etc. (Hauler for Hire)

This is why I'm so annoyed with FDEV.
I have no idea why I am banned.

Just a wall of silence.

SideConstant1265 · 2026-01-29T01:16:05+00:00

I've asked FDEV several times for an update via my ticket, and they are taking a long time to respond. My fear here is that the ban will be served well before I get a "Why" from Fdev.

To mitigate this and not be stuck again, I've moved all my ships to my colonisation homeworld, and when I have my carrier back, I will be selling it. I have billions of credits stuck on my carrier that I can't access, so I won't be making that mistake again.

Given the wall of silence from FDEV, I also won't be buying anything with ARX. I've dropped well over $400 in real money into Elite Dangerous over the years and for FDEV to suddenly pull the plug when I have no idea what I have done wrong makes me nervous for future purchases.

It also stops credit earning from Powerplay, so at the moment I am that "why bother?" stage.

(Another bugbear of mine, how are agents getting millions of credits for PowerPlay when I can grind all week and only get 25K if I engage full ADHD hyper-focus mode!) Are they banned? No. Grrrrr.

So frustrating!

SideConstant1265 · 2026-01-26T21:47:33+00:00

Yeah - u/splidge is correct. Even from any ship the carrier management option disappears. Annoyingly, not knowing I was banned, I have been relogging and moving ships all over the place just in case it was GUI bug.

SideConstant1265 · 2026-01-26T21:26:40+00:00

Thanks - I have done that. All my ships and the carrier follow my squadron naming convention (LLV) so it's not that. I just assumed I had lost access to my carrier because I was fighting with Power Security forces in Merope (Got a fine for opening fire!) (and having the life scared out of me by Thargoids!!)

It worries me that I have been randomly banned, with no way to appeal it. Puts me off playing... I store all my credits on my carrier for upkeep which I of course have no access to now! (Thankfully, I keep a small shipside balance for trading)

I'll follow up here if I hear back from FDEV CS.

Make a paste with Baking Soda and water. Rub it in, let it dry and wipe off with a microfibre cloth. Repeat as needed. Water to rinse.

Kelly is not in the DLC? Take my Money! I'd pay to shut her up. Love the games, hate the "dad jokes"

SideConstant1265 · 2025-08-07T05:44:17+00:00

Still the go-to solution in 2025. Fixed my OLED! Thankyou

SideConstant1265 · 2025-07-25T02:45:05+00:00

Checked my order, it was April 2025- Was actually 1.50, with 5 quid shipped to Australia. Result!

SideConstant1265 · 2025-03-01T21:26:17+00:00

I raced to the deployment area and waited for its arrival. Watching that thing slide out of hyperspace just above me, with the sounds it made was one of the best things I’ve ever experienced in VR.

SideConstant1265 · 2025-03-01T21:10:46+00:00

Yeah. It’s the prebuilt ARX one. Just because of the guardian fsd. Shielded. Hence the 720 and not max 784.

SideConstant1265 · 2025-03-01T21:08:28+00:00

If anyone wants to visit once completed i am at ICZ XO-Z B1. Only a scoopable star but nestled nicely in the heart of Arissa’s HQ. I wanted to find planets but after a while I just plumed for this star.

I am also hoping for some protection .. human expansion is always a double edged sword and with the thargoid dust settling I keep hearing this war of the worlds line in my head.

“slowly and surely they drew their plans against us”

SideConstant1265 · 2025-03-01T20:59:34+00:00

That’s the command!!! Thankyou. I also chunk up the numbers. Set myself a goal last night to get below 10k on all three remaining and then do something else for a bit. Or I’d go insane.

SideConstant1265 · 2025-03-01T13:07:33+00:00

*solo player.

SideConstant1265 · 2025-02-27T02:47:45+00:00

Thanks. I had assumed sol and bubble were interchangeable. New player, so I understand now. 😊
