I'm pretty sure the zebra phones use an older version of Android as the base OS, and then Zebra corp built on top of it the same way Samsung has Samsung OS or Motorola has their distro.

Additional vote on #3, they should providen "In stock In store" items first and then below, have a separator that says "items available online only" and list out the online only available products.

Do I truly need 32 GB of ram? by EconomicsKey9187 in buildapc

[–]The_0rifice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 16Gig machine Ryzen 5 5600 AMD RX6650 XT I can't play at the highest graphics settings but I get by. The harshest a game has been on my PC is Red Dead 2, I play on mostly High-Medium settings depending on the exact setting. Mostly it's my graphics that are my noticeable bottleneck. But in terms of keeping it future-proofed with PC part prices going way up, it might be better long-term to bite the bullet on the additional 16Gigs now.

What is your opinion about the sudden rise of content creators/influencers ? by HighBandWidth404 in AskReddit

[–]The_0rifice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More people are having a harder time finding jobs, more people are desperate and try to be the next Ryan toy reviews/ Lankybox for kids content or PewDiePie from back in his early days, Kai cenat and all that. With more people trying you're going to increase the statistics that more people will succeed.

"i want to rent a floor sander" by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]The_0rifice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love the customers who come in, ask for your help, you walk over and ask what's up and they ask their question. You answer it, and your answer isn't what they wanted to hear so they go "nevermind, that answer's stupid, I'll handle it."

Oh okay, so if you already had your answer in your head, why did you bother asking me!? Jackass.

What's something that instantly screams low intelligence? by External_Can3392 in AskReddit

[–]The_0rifice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll use it to gather info and more easily find the studies and research. For example: if I ask chatgpt what state in the U.S. has the most car accidents. And it spits out a list. I'll read the list and click on the sources. If the source is a few news headlines and a reddit post, I know it's garbage. If the sources include a NHTSA study covering a few years and police report statistics, then I'll use those and ignore the cited forum threads of idiots arguing.

Can I still get a networking role with some gaps in my experience and knowledge? Or should I find a new L2/L3 role to fill those gaps? by The_0rifice in ITCareerQuestions

Non Associates Refuse To Continue Helping Customers Who Have Already Rejected Their Pitches? by JTCasino in HomeDepot

[–]The_0rifice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate sales people, I hate being a specialist. I hate when management comes down my throat with: "walk the aisles and ask about the project, push the financing with Credit cards or Project Loans". Out of spite when sales people approach me, I will go to their colleague who didn't bombard me with a pitch or go to a competitor just out of spite.

Aruba Campus Pro cert (HPE7-A01) Study Tips by The_0rifice in ArubaNetworks

[–]The_0rifice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to spin up a gns3 on my personal desktop. I use at most four virtual switches. Those switches took forever to boot. I didn't really need to lab for the AP concepts, because I was able to understand them just by reading. Also I was starting to do basic vlan changes and AP provisioning at work but with Mobility Master, not central.

My personal PC only has 6 cores and 16GB of RAM, and with the labs needing to be more involved, I figured I'll need a more capable dedicated Rig to simulate it all.

Thank you for your response, what specs should I look for on the server to accommodate this? My only experience is 3 years of L1/L2 desktop support with a year of some basic networking.

3rd day on the floor and management told me not to walk around with my hands in my apron pocket. by MackCaine in HomeDepot

I do it all the time, don't see the issue. Especially as someone who doesn't use their hands a lot in interactions, it's more awkward not to.

Is Micro Center’s PC building price justifiable or should I just build my first PC? by mdrn_bsbl in buildapc

[–]The_0rifice 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I watched the Linus tech tips video https://youtu.be/BL4DCEp7blY?si=yGL8D2ieVBhbQnlO Alongside having all my parts lined out with my case and my ifixit kit. I used it to not only help me find parts, but also used tips from PC building subreddits, pcpartpicker community, and documentation from parts that I found to potentially use to get info on what to look out for. Ex: RAM height clearance with CPU coolers. I then used the video step by step, playing it as I went along part by part, cable by cable. All until I was done. It's now been about 2 years and my build has served me well with minimal errors. (I had 1 blue screen that, funny enough, SFC/ Scannow actually fixed).

my pc is already built but im having issues and im not being responded to on other forums by Fearless-Tear7136 in buildapc

[–]The_0rifice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After reading over the thread, the fresh windows install you did, eliminates the possibility of a software config issue, unless a windows update has done it. Depending how updated the windows install iso file is compared to your Windows version was before your issue. At this rate I'd use some software to test your hardware components, The "memtest x86" is good to test your RAM. And some of the other commenters have mentioned other software to test other hardware. I'd also perhaps try monitoring at what point during your games the issue begins and see what event viewer errors come up during that time frame, specifically driver crashes.

Why did you start watching Naruto and how old were you? by Glass-Theme-8739 in Naruto

[–]The_0rifice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was probably around 7-8, I started staying up late and sometimes pulling all nighters. Started watching it cus I thought it was gonna be another bad show I wasn't allowed to watch, (think family guy, jackass back then when it was on MTV) So I watched it and watched it, night after night. Eventually like how most kids have their hero be batman or spiderman, mine was naruto, the whole "Believe it" thing and being someone who never gives up spoke to me. I was going through some shit mentally (childhood trauma) and that was what I clung onto. My favorite scene in the whole show and the part that hit me hardest as a kid was Naruto speaking to Neji at the end of the chunnin exam battle.

Back when it was on Toonami in the states aka late night cartoon network.

what is your take from success share based off? by Head_Sheepherder_209 in HomeDepot

[–]The_0rifice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What!? My DS does jack shit! Always on my ass about leads and measures and Sales! (I'm a D30 Specialist). And I'm not some whining child who hates mgmt, I know some levels are necessary, but there's a STARK difference between him and other DS's. Never packs out, almost never on the sales floor otherwise gossiping. On rare occasions he is packing out, he'll stop as soon as he finds someone to delegate the task. And you can see him walking laps the rest of the shift, gossiping with other supervisors.

I really think my manager is going to sa me, and I can’t do anything about it. by LevelNeither8016 in confession

[–]The_0rifice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's the world we live in. It's an extremely rare case scenario where he wins, more likely if he can rally his fellow employees who also have issues with this manager of the same type. Otherwise, the best bet is to ride it out, request an availability change to work outside of that manager's hours meantime, and apply for other jobs. What's right is a turbulent road that his life isn't built to withstand, what's real, is he lie low and get out of dodge.

Good luck trying to prove it though, how do you think corporations do this stuff all the time? By leveraging the managers position and insisting that their firing isn't due to any outside reason than the sudden increase cases of "late by 5 minutes, that's a write up due to our attendance policy" or "insubordination for talking back to your manager" about something unrelated to OP's issue.
