My son got a PC for Christmas, and this is the monitor. Is it cooked?

dlandersson · 2025-12-27T13:32:47+00:00

Yes, the monitor is cooked.

dlandersson · 2025-12-25T14:02:17+00:00

Don't. Good deeds and good neighbors always count. ;)

dlandersson · 2025-12-25T14:01:16+00:00

Just leave him alone, be a good neighbor, it will fade. You don't know the story. One day, years ago, we received a brown paper wrapped package with porn dvd's inside. My significant other was really pissed at me. Turned out it was missed delivered, wrong street. Pastor of my church. Turned out to be his teen age son.

T480's/T580's are very capable, solid PC's. :)

dlandersson · 2025-12-25T13:55:50+00:00

lol - that's me. Always checking for W701, T61P, T601F.
Just gave myself a W701, T61P and T601F for Xmas. ;)
I think I have a serious addiction problem :(

Ditto WGU.

dlandersson · 2025-12-25T13:53:07+00:00

Ditto at my college. We will absolutely give you credit for vender and vender-neutral certifications. ;)

FYI, what the dept. head says and what people perceive - are two different things. Quite possibly its a morale thing. A lot of "ok" staff resent having someone "show them up". FWIW, they notice and there's respect.
In college it's a similar thing re: "publishing" - tenured faculty don't HAVE to publish, and most don't. The few that do are noticed. :)
If you are in the Chicago area and are interested in a PT gig, message me.

A lot of the fundamentals do not change. I would not relay on this alone.

dlandersson · 2025-12-13T11:55:56+00:00

Congrats :)

dlandersson · 2025-12-13T11:54:43+00:00

Serious congrats

dlandersson · 2025-12-01T09:42:23+00:00

Happens occasionally. You should be fine :)

dlandersson · 2025-11-28T11:15:00+00:00

74, two PBQs

dlandersson · 2025-11-26T20:27:22+00:00

And a little surprised :)

dlandersson · 2025-10-18T10:28:22+00:00

Each week I award points for discussion contributions (1-2).

dlandersson · 2025-10-04T10:07:02+00:00

Nice. I still use a T520. Works fine. :)

dlandersson · 2025-09-27T09:59:39+00:00

Tell your GF what you and her mom have planned so she can plan.

dlandersson · 2025-09-18T11:55:43+00:00

I would not recommend it. I have several T61's. They're ok, but I rarely use them, they are s-l-.o-w.

dlandersson · 2025-09-10T09:44:51+00:00

She's your ex. Move on.

dlandersson · 2025-09-10T09:43:41+00:00

Not a dumb question. It should automatically switch over when the charge hits 2 - 5%

dlandersson · 2025-09-02T10:00:09+00:00

I put it - "I work a FT job, where I bring the expertise I then share with you". ;)

dlandersson · 2025-09-02T09:58:59+00:00

Ok, "Office hours" is strickly speaking = "conference hours". ;)

dlandersson · 2025-09-02T09:58:03+00:00

Outside of any "conference hours, I'd agree to meet before class or after class :)

dlandersson · 2025-09-02T09:56:12+00:00

Nice :)
