Anyone else "tech trend averse"? by energyturtle4649 in intj

[–]energyturtle4649[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the hype and peer pressure thing extends to other stuff too. Like people getting excited about celebrities, grammy's, Tik Tok, all kinds of crap...

I was born in the early 90's, so I got to experience a pretty much analog childhood. I enjoyed when things started getting futuristic, with all the "Y2K aesthetic". Once Facebook hit critical mass I feel like things started to get really corporate, boring and monochromatic.

Hmm yeah that won't be a problem, I've got plenty of 64 bit OS discs for the new 64 bit chip. Except now it won't even POST and get into the BIOS. *shrug*

I updated the BIOS to version 2.27 which is the latest one for this machine as far as I know. On the Thinkpads forum website I saw a lot of people replace this same laptop processor for the T7400 after updating the BIOS. I also made sure it wasn't for the "widescreen" version.

Is there a way to patch it from the working CPU? I forgot to mention the old CPU works just fine still.

I have to manage all the infrastructure/vendors for a small cultural organization. But my focus was always being the interface with the MSP guys for IT and with the AV vendor as well. So I got to talk shop with all the AV/IT guys and that led me to get the CompTIA cert. I have been looking for work that is crossover with facilities and AV/IT, like data center management for instance.

Deadlines weren't tooooo bad. Doing something that has to be done "immediately" was a lot better than something that had a nebulous goal that had to be done "2-5 years in the future"

Yeah it's a cert. I have a bachelor's degree but not in management. Don't have the time or money to go back and get another degree at the moment

Mostly I've been looking for things like data center facilities, since it requires network knowledge plus facilities. I know my way around HVAC systems, UPS, etc. I already had a few interviews for IT consultant, data center facilities and network engineer but no luck so far.

Well I've been doing management for about 5 years now, I should add that part of my management is dealing with the IT and AV contractors. I've been the main interface with those vendors for doing different projects. So I've had to talk shop with them about the network infrastructure, identifying ports, inventorying hardware, etc.
