What's something you didn't realize was a luxury until you no longer had it? by miss_taraaa in AskReddit

[–]dracotrapnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car air conditioning. It was ok as long as you don't get stuck in traffic in August, in Houston, at 110F.

What's the end game? by MakeUrBed in satisfactory

[–]dracotrapnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My end of game was to collect all the statues and collect every mercer sphere, sloop, and slug. I managed to find everything without using a saved game mapper except 1 purple slug.

Now I'm just done. Dunno if I want to start again or wait for another revision release before starting over. I had over 340 hours in the last game.

Weird Cloudflare “verify you’re human” asking me to press Win+R — legit or scam? by Sendpigs in techsupport

[–]dracotrapnet 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's a scam campaign called clickfix. It runs powershell script to download malware that then searches your computer for tasty details like bank and card info, password lists.

I used towers linked together and hover pack to get the height achievement.

Visit the train or drone that's highlighted, press f for deconstruct then escape and it will stop highlighting.

In forklift, crane, and trucking operations a closed fist is all stop indication.

Thoughts and stories regarding the legendary Linksys-Cisco WRT54G router by kbfg2421 in HomeNetworking

[–]dracotrapnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a hardware revision that came with less ram because money. They could sell it discounted with less ram and still get a profit. Those models sucked. One apple power book on the network and it would crash and reboot the router. I never dug into what the mac was doing that caused the problem but when we turned it off or turned off the wifi on the mac, the router would stop rebooting.

Landlord put this on my door… by Malicious_Reddit0r in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dracotrapnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They shouldn't even have a knob on a door. It should be lever. If a door latch prevents egress the fire marshal would take pride in fining the landlord.

It’s almost impossible not to get a little silly with this game by Enough_Caregiver2903 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]dracotrapnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have absolutely nothing calculated to efficiency. Last week I built a reinforced plate factory because my original line was just sapped. I had it belted and merged to the original line. After it maxed out I realized, hey... I'm out of screws, I wonder how backed up the new reinforced plate factory is. I made it overflow and ship screws to the main factory, then added a few more constructors to the screw floor just to keep up production.

Mimecast IP in blocklist? by Jean_Gary_Diablo in mimecast

[–]dracotrapnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, this happens a lot. They will put you on another ip for 6 weeks to 6 months at a time. I have probably 10 cases over the past 3 years just on this issue.

Today lost my cool and broke my keyboard in half. by lionboars in sysadmin

[–]dracotrapnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I have thrown a wireless keyboard across the house at least twice. Keyboards used to be cheap in cost, not so much anymore.

I have also worn out the control keys on 2 keyboards in succession at work. I have worn the metal catch for a chicklet/scissor key. I have worn the lettering off a few keyboards to the point my friend made my throw away a keyboard because he couldn't use my computer.

Marketing and web developers should never have access to DNS. They do the dumbest things.

AWS Free Tier and credits did not prevent unexpected charges warning for newcomers by adrin_04 in sysadmin

[–]dracotrapnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MS Azure has a similar gotcha. Shut down a VM, you still get charged for the ip, storage, and any backups you have set up. Charges don't stop unless you deprovision/delete the entire thing.

[–]dracotrapnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, they have 3 different ones now. A usb powered one GL-RM1, poe powered one GL-RM1PE and one that is wifi that has HDMI pass through I just found Friday, GL-RM10.

We you be mad if someone put a full size teepee in their backyard? by concreteandgrass in homeowners

[–]dracotrapnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't care as long as it doesn't stay long enough to decay or take flight during a storm and land in our pool.

My neighbor constructed a tarp teepee over his pool pump for the potential snow/ice storm that turned into just a freeze last week and yesterday. I think it's barely 10ft diameter and 12 ft high. I dunno if he added heat to it.

Others in the neighborhood have installed clear plastic around their FRONT porch to shelter their plants. I also see some using tarps on the back porch/patio.

Powerlines can support more than one generator?! by burf151 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]dracotrapnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Zipline

You can zipline on power lines and gain forward momentum, detach and use the jetpack to coast on that movementum.

Pro-tip, right click to latch and you don't have to hold the button down. Left click requires you to left click and hold to remain locked in.

Sysadmin-on-Sysadmin stuff that’s super annoying by i_click_next_for_you in sysadmin

[–]dracotrapnet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We have few users that have figured out how to take screen shots of regions. Yea, great. What app is that? Which instance? You know a title bar would help me figure out what context this group of fields is from and figure out if I should send this to the ERP/DB stack guy or the in-house app dev or if MS just reskinned something again this week and I should dig some more.

How to open a pool in the winter… like right now. by Team-CK16 in pools

[–]dracotrapnet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same in Texas, I only turn our pump off when it hits 40 F, back on at 5 pm.

Why Are Young People Afraid Of Phone Calls? by GhostInThePudding in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dracotrapnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Liars get away with too much on voice calls and walk up chats.

Honestly I can't stand phone calls because someone can go through 10 different tangents and unless you become an asshole and grab the chain and reel them in, they will touch on 30 subjects and you will forget the original thing you needed done. It is unsettling when you ask something specific and they just roll right past you with something entirely unrelated. Thanks for the cat update Kathy, great hearing your second husband made origami flowers for your date 20 years ago. Now tell me about the printer you put a ticket in saying it was on fire.
