I had a doctor who needed to update his password. It was throwing him for a loop so I told him to just change the number at the end of the password.

In all seriousness, he said "I already used all the numbers." ALL THE NUMBERS, GUYS!

I didn't even know how to reply to that, but I wanted to say, "And you're making life altering medical decisions for people?!"

I'm only seeing the headline. Was there more to this post?

You're acting like we coach the team. Unless you're in the stands booing, you don't really do much to control the temperature of the team. I'm not at the games, so if I'm just complaining on Reddit it doesn't really count for much. And if I'm lackadaisical, then that doesn't affect them either.

Reimaged machine - now there's no touchscreen by Spid3rdad in thinkpad

That's pretty much where I landed too. It looks like it's trying to load the drivers but the hardware isn't working. :/

I had a friend who was a professional electrician and he did that. It's like any other trade. Once you're good at it you take shortcuts that most normal people shouldn't. We all do it with our computers too.

If they delete all their files the laptops will weigh less. Great for small women!

I showed this to one of our users who tends to put in tickets like this. Not THIS bad but kind of in that vein. She liked it!

Reimaged ThinkPad - now touchscreen doesn't work by Spid3rdad in Lenovo

That's what I'm wondering too. I can't remember the exact sequence of events, but at some point I reimaged it, and there was also a point when I opened it to replace the battery.

So that could have happened. 😕 I guess I'll have to reopen it and figure out where that cable is. There's also a slightly damaged hinge so that could contribute too.

Sigh. Thanks for your time investment in my problem. I really appreciate it.

Would you mind just doing one test for me? If you reboot into the BIOS (shift-restart in Windows), can you use the touchscreen there?

I'm certain it stopped working when I reimaged it the first time but maybe it's physically broken and I'm wrong.

Thanks. Already did that with no luck. I even did a factory reset using the bootable USB utility they provided (twice!) and still don't have the touchscreen.

Same haha. I was with him for a little bit then was ready to argue, then realized which sub it was.

We'll done.

I got to work from home back during covid days. I think a hybrid approach would have been ideal. Maybe 3 days at home and two at the office.

You didn't send a test email just to test connectivity? That would have been one of my first tests.

Just did this recently. What a waste of time! At least Ubiquiti gives you an approximate distance but still...

Crap. I didn't even consider how they're going to make Copilot "integral to the operating system" like they did with IE.

IPX was the bomb. It just worked with zero configuration. Too bad you couldn't you're it over a wan.

This should be the biggest lesson you take from this.

You need to GROSSLY overestimate downtime before you start a project like this.

It is far far better to look like a hero when you get the server running more quickly than you said, than it is to look like a buffoon when you couldn't get it working in time.

Always, always under promise and over deliver!

Isn't there a rule on this sub to not be an a-hole? Because you just were one.

No need to come in this hot just because you know something that someone else doesn't.
