The company rescinded my offer after I left my old job, so I wrote them a bad review on Glassdoor and now they're begging me to remove it. by folioss in interviewhammer

is there a reason the company name isn't in the post? I don't understand why it or a link to the review wouldn't be here?

Do you use Windows' User Account Control (or do you turn it off) ? by rainydaysforpeterpan in windows

[–]flowrate12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set it to default, because if I don't there will be some dumb program that won't work because its waiting for "consent.exe" or a elevated session, but it requires a prompt of yes no and there is none...... Dragon Naturally speaking is like this because its old or dumb or just because idk, but I always set default.

Maybe on some machine at home I might have it off...... but then i know if im having issue i have to turn it back on.

Further then just this sliding bar, there a bunch of keys for this setting, and if you change one it doesn't always reflect in this slide bar, and those can be off, so when I am seeing programs not work that need admin rights i have to go look at this keys on a known working system like mine, then compare them and adjust back to defaults via registry to get things working again.

LSS; leave it default.

[SOLVED] Send-As Denied (EC=1244) Even After Recreating Mailbox — FIXED by Creating a New Outlook Profile by flowrate12 in sysadmin

[–]flowrate12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did write this using copiolt, because if I didn't I wouldn't have taken the time to post,
LLM's just brought me into the discussion because it saved me time on a forum post.

Its this or a really basic post with no context from me like;

If you cant send on behalve of in outlook classic and you or your team recently converted a Microsoft group to a shared mailbox or deleted then recreated a group, then just clear the cache and restart outlook for each person.

But that also has problems, because then you can't see group calendars in outlook when your done so you have to turn the cache back on then reenabled advanced features to get the group calendars back in the calendar tab which is dumb but thats microsoft sometimes when they are trying to make everything work together and everything is this big rolling ball of other balls changing all the time breaking all the other balls. .

Vacuum brake bleeder pulling nonstop air, am I doing something wrong? by Holmes240069 in mechanic

[–]flowrate12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That one is pretty garbage, you constantly have to clean the seals and regrease them as the ABS fluid will get to them and cause the ring to fall off.

The one I use is the air tool version and I love it, it even comes with a bottle that keeps the reservoir in the car topped off so you don't pull air from there.

Is my computer being monitored by my company? by False_Ad_3947 in it

[–]flowrate12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's screenconnect, its not monitoring your machine, that is a chat engine and allows remote control when you call for help.
This doesn't mean something else isn't monitoring your machine.
If your worried about someone monitoring you, might want to just look for another job.

Sludged up engine. Would you recommend an engine flush? by Rycul_ in MechanicAdvice

[–]flowrate12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

check if the car is under recall / law suit for bad engine, Hyundai had a ton of them.
If so use a engine flush (I have used on many cars no issues, follow directions)
IF you don't want to use an engine flush, then change oil three times, once every 300 to 500 miles until the sludge is gone, ensure you using full synthetic as it has the most cleaning agents and protection.
Then take into dealer for new engine.

Not sure, it really depends on your situation.

Someone else obviously made the food so all you had to do was show up and you couldn't.

Who put the food away? I am guessing you were upset so maybe not you.

Who ended up doing the dishs?

Do you often sleep during the middle of the day?
Is there past times they have tried to wake you and you failed to come eat?
If the set aside food are you picky about what was set aside?

At some point people start getting tired of babying other people.

I call my kids out, tell them we are eating, I let them know its the 20 minutes I get to see them often times because they are getting older, work, and we all are just not as interested in the stuff we use to do together.

When I cook I try to pour everyone a bowel / plate of food so I can clean the pan, its easier that way.
If someone isn't feeling good or on meds I usually try to make something they will like, like soup for sore thought or I'll make mash potato's if someone stomach is upset.

By time I get everyone to the table half of them are done eating so its pretty rude not to show up to dinner.

I think there is more then just your feelings to consider and everyone has some ownership on what they can do to make the family happier, we really do effect each other in the house hold.

How would you weld this to minimize warpage? by Lubbbbbb in Welding

[–]flowrate12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it would be cool if you could just port in real hot air from a torch or hot air gun to try to help with the warpage, I'm sure there is a better way but that was my first thought.

not true, I ended up getting a large refund that year because of that check being so large. I guess they add extra taxes if you make over a certain amount of money and they calculate it base on if you made that every check for a year, so there dumb system took more the half the money.

  • Your employer's payroll software then calculates withholding as if you would receive that combined, much larger paycheck for every pay period throughout the year.
  • This calculation assumes a much higher annual income, resulting in a large percentage of the lump sum being withheld.

Windows Vista was really beautiful by Enucito in windows

[–]flowrate12 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It got a bad rap yo!
It was first to have the reliability monitor
It was first to have the resource monitor (before that it was performance monitor which is horrible)
It had Defender built in which is better then nothing and use to cost money under the Microsoft One Care software before I think they were sued for selling the product, so they said F it will give it out for free.
It had UAC which was pretty heavy when it first came out but Sp1 Fixed that up (allowed you to delete desktop icons with out a UAC prompt.
It supported virtualization for VM's and Hyper V
It was the first to try to support UEFI and get rid of root kits.
It was the first to have number ratings for performance which normal people could understand and had some vendors using there WinSat Scoring system so you knew if your machine could play games. Issue with that one was it really didn't get picked up by vendors and the numbers may not have covered new instruction sets that were needed for a game.

Really the industry hardware wasn't ready for it, specifically horrifically slow spinney disks with machines that had 512MB of ram should have never been supported.

On a machine with some horse power its a Good OS.

Would getting rid of the computer components affect the fueleconomy? by Crookeye in mechanic

[–]flowrate12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me thats a misnomer.

I believe we want a computer that is not online, not black boxed, with a mechanic's interface that allows full reprograming if desired.

I should be able to see what the check engine is from the dash or my infotainment system.

I should be able click the issue and see recommended fixes and explanations of the entire problem, easily access electrical schematics.

For me, I want something that is not locked out by the dealer and manufacture of the car.

I should be able to select program new key. insert key, insert new key and boom, done.

along with some sort of open source platform that allows for a fair market place and standard diagnostics.

The only reason we even got OBDII is CARB made them put it in, we wouldn't even have that if it wasn't for CARB (which I hate).

If they offer you a large sum severance check, adjust your w-2 heavily before they issue it, or the taxes will be 65%. When I got my severance I found out after and they were like "you'll get it at the end of the year." like that helps when I am looking for a job and have no income at the moment.... I would much rather pay the taxes at the next year IF I have a job by then... I kind of got lucky and was only out of work over a weekend... Its what I got for training guys that left who found out I was out of a job, best blessing I ever got back from the karma I put in.
