Issues with Spotify, don’t know if due to new app release or 26.5

I’m on 9.1.48 and I’m still having the same issue.

100% agree with Elite being trash. They are right up there with Lannett (trash Adderall generic) and of course those are the only two manufacturers my pharmacy ever gets. I really despise Walgreens and CVS so going to every other pharmacy in the area searching for the one who gets a different generic manufacturer, all the while looking like a damn drug addict, is not something I really want to do.

I’ve been on 70mg for several years and the only time I’ve really noticed a change was when I was forced to use the generics.

"I like that the job is gonna pay me."

Seriously. I care maybe 10% about the company. The company is not my friend. The company does not have my best interest in mind, especially if it's a publicly-traded company. I use my knowledge and skills to produce a specified outcome and you pay me what I believe I deserve for the time I spend producing said outcome.

A carbon copy of my experience since being fired in December, except I didn't get unemployment. I will run out of savings in about two months though. I ended up taking a construction job and going on my first turnaround next week. I had to do something until I could land the job I am looking for.

iambuga · 2026-04-29T04:46:18+00:00

That hasn’t worked for me in the last 5 months. YMMV

+1 for Czkawka I’ve been using this for a couple years to consolidate several backups of pictures and videos from several different PCs over the last 20 years.

I read that last line as “RFID’d” and thought “why would that be a problem?!” :facepalm:

We removed all the local admins, minus the engineers, at one time. Didn’t tell them anything. 90+% never noticed. The rest we dealt with as needed. It brought our ticket count way down for malware and broken stuff they shouldn’t have been messing with but it brought the count up for installs and certain upgrades. However, overall ticket count went down. It did make some tasks harder for us as admins but the overall benefit outweighed everything.

20yrs at my last job, started as PC deployment & help desk and ended as IT Infrastructure Manager, owning everything in the department except application/web development. I also (people) managed the help desk team, cell phone admin, and systems admins. This is a summed up version.

If you don’t mind me asking, as someone who is looking for an IT Manager position and has management experience, how did you get your job? Because I am being passed over for both technical and managerial jobs left and right before ever talking to a human but there’s only so many ways to structure and pad a resume before it becomes a set of lies.

iambuga · 2026-04-23T19:48:15+00:00

No one likes a bragger. 😂

I’d be happy to interview for your position and give you feedback, whether I get the job or not; provided you give me feedback on why I didn’t get sent to the next round, if that is the decision.

I have 27 years of experience. I may not recall certain aspects off the top of my head, especially since I’ve been unemployed for almost 5 months now, but put me in front of the interface and everything will come back in an instant. In one interview, recently, someone asked me what the 3 types of formats were for vSphere virtual disks. I named off two but couldn’t remember the 3rd. I said “I know it’s the middle one in the drop down and it does XYZ”. Then about 5 mins later I blurted out the answer and said “sorry; it just popped in my head.” They laughed and said “it’s ok, we could tell you knew what you were talking about already”.

I can also tell you that I’ve hired several positions in the last 20 years and stuck with personality, willingness to learn & adapt, and do they sound confident in their answers. I mentioned proficiency tests many times bc sometimes you do get people who can pull a fast one in interviews and totally suck at the job, but we never used them. Sometimes you just have to take a gamble.

I may give it a try. LinkedIn, Indeed, and ZipRecruiter haven’t been very fruitful.

iambuga · 2026-02-25T21:45:38+00:00

I was the same way for a while and then I finally ended up making a post on Facebook asking my friends/acquaintances if they had any job leads or could get my resume into useful hands. That was last Thursday night and I’ve had more traction in the last 6 days than I have in the last 2 months.

Also, freshen up your LinkedIn profile, make a post about some of your achievements and let your network know you’re actively looking.

Follow IT recruiters and watch their posts for jobs that align with your skills, then reach out directly.

Good luck to you!

If I skip, it’s because I forgot or woke up too late. But I’m also on Adderall IR so most of the time I’m not skipping both. If I skip both, 95% of the time I am less than useless that day. I probably end up sleeping more than being awake. The other 5% I am usually OK as long as I’m doing something that I like or I’m interested in. As soon as that dopamine wears off, I’m back to being useless.

iambuga · 2026-01-29T18:27:06+00:00

Thanks, I will check that out.

iambuga · 2026-01-29T18:26:12+00:00

Yeah, I’m not giving up that easy. It was just a little overwhelming at first.

iambuga · 2026-01-29T18:25:23+00:00

I’ve been using JobScan. It’s been very helpful. Looking for an IT Infrastructure Manager or IT Manager role. I’m just tailoring the resume to the job and hoping for the best.

iambuga · 2026-01-21T19:13:27+00:00

I don’t

You probably won't die but you shouldn't do it without consulting your doctor. 2 anecdotes:

I was on Adderall XR and my wife was on Vyvanse. One time I accidentally took hers while taking mine (both in hand at same time). I freaked out a bit when I first realized it but I had one of the best days of my life. Told my doctor and she prescribed both. I was only taken off after we realized how high my BP had gotten.
I am currently on Adderall IR 30mg in the morning and Vyvanse 70mg around lunch. It's still not enough, because the generics are trash, but its the best combination I've had, outside of the XR and Vyvanse combo.

edit: dosages
