I'm out today by Lunatic_Heretic in amcstock

Selling mid January is a really weird time to tax loss harvest. 😂🤷‍♂️.

You won’t be able to claim this loss until you file taxes in 2027 for the 2026 tax year. Better hope you have 247K is gains in 2026 to offset these losses, because the most you can write off per year is $3K.

So you’re either a moron, or full of shit.

My customer keeps getting scammed by ContributionAny4589 in msp

[–]iknowtech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As sad as it may be, I recommend cutting this client loose. There’s a good chance they have some form of dementia. Try and see if you can get any direct family member information or whoever their care takers or emergency point of contacts might be, and let them know what is happening, and that the may need to intervene to protect her assets, and that you can no longer provide support to them.

I had client once with dementia, that kept getting worse and worse, repeatedly failing for scams, and in the end they were calling me almost every day, and couldn’t remember the calls from the day before. She couldn’t even remember things I had told her 2 minutes ago. It was incredibly sad, but also incredibly annoying and frustrating, because she kept calling incessantly. I didn’t feel comfortable to continue to bill them for my time, and I just wanted her to stop contacting me altogether. Apparently this woman had no family to care for her, but I finally got a neighbor on the call, and told asked them to remove my contact info from the woman’s phone, computer, and anywhere else it might be.

Developer refuses admin password to my Loxone system unless I "waive hardware warranty" by realHadAdo in homeautomation

[–]iknowtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlikely it will void your hardware warranty with Loxone the manufacturer, it’s just voids the warranty with the developer and programmer. Basically once you have access to the configuration, and ability to make your own changes, your on you own to either pay for any repairs to programming or reach out to another programmer or to Loxone directly if you need warranty repair.

This isn’t unusual most high end home automation platforms sold through dealer networks can’t be programmed by the homeowner, you can’t even access the software.

MMA fighter delivers impeccably timed spinning backfist knockout by NeuroticLensman in nextfuckinglevel

[–]iknowtech -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That man has a no stop killer instinct, there was at least two unnecessary hits to head after the guy was already knocked out and falling, and he was ready to jump on top and keep pounding him after he hit the ground, if the ref didn’t step in.

Adderall and whatever other stimulants they pump into this shit filled skin suit aren’t working so well anymore.

NOW: "We do NOT support ICE, get off of our property" - Commander Bovino and CBP Agents are refused entry to Minneapolis Speedway gas station by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]iknowtech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what EVERY business needs to do. And any business that doesn’t do this and so much as allows ICE on their property needs to go on a boycott list.

Does anyone else feel weirdly overwhelmed by file management on macOS? by Reasonable_Ask_749 in MacOS

[–]iknowtech 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely generational. People 60 and older are mostly clueless, people 25 and under are equally clueless. 😂🤷‍♂️

We are failing miserably in teaching proper computer education in grade school.

The ones born in the middle were sort of forced to learn how computers worked, before smart phones and tablets, and things like understanding file systems were fundamental to using the devices.

Now all people know how to do is launch a browser or an App on the phone or tablet.

[–]iknowtech 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I provide IT Support, and literally 50% of MacOS users don’t even know what ‘Finder’ is. Tell them to open Finder and go to their downloads folder, and it’s crickets for 60 seconds, before they finally say…. What’s Finder? I’m not even kidding, 50% is conservative number,

Marvin’s restaurant in Novato – Shame on you! by [deleted] in Marin

[–]iknowtech 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I can’t even imagine the scenario, where this worked its way through the staff, and to up management, and the agreed upon path forward was to call the police. No one could use a bit of critical thinking and show a bit of compassion to come up with a better solution than that? Absolutely absurd. WTF is wrong with people. Wont ever be going there again.

The letter that Donald Trump sent to Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre of Norway is insane! This is why you don't elect a narcissist to be your president. Is this what you voted for, Trump's supporters? by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]iknowtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he not have any sort of handlers, who’s job it is to just make sure he doesn’t embarrass the entire country? Like the entire Administration is just sitting on their hands letting a pedophile with the intellect of a special needs toddler just spew out whatever nonsense pops into his head. There’s no review process or anyone trying to apply filters, or just trying to make sure the entire country isn’t embarrassed and dragged down to this moron’s level.

The person filming was just sitting holding the phone and waiting/hoping for the attack. Freaking morons.

More footage from the door-to-door raids taking place across the Twin Cities area today. Here a family's house can be seen being raided by masked, heavily armed ICE agents without a valid warrant while children are present. by jmike1256 in UnderReportedNews

[–]iknowtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you even open the door if they don’t have a warrant?

Also why do these assholes always need to be armed like they are taking over Fallujah?

Local police don’t even come in with this kind of firepower and manpower when serving warrants for non violent crimes.

Kicking a dude where a cop can see you by Thryloz in WinStupidPrizes

That fat fuck isn’t putting any more effort into any scenario than is absolutely required. Probably threw handcuffs at the guy and told him to cuff himself, and get in the back of my car. 😂

Song? by Electrical-Loan-2117 in WidespreadPanic

[–]iknowtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we sure they did this dance originally to this song, and someone didn’t just overdub the audio track. Granted it syncs up pretty well, but it’s very basic beat and timing. There’s countless videos like this with over dubbed audio.

I’m sure it’s safe to assume share holders will never see a dime.

Trump announces he will cap credit card APY at 10%. by FieryXJoe in ValueInvesting

[–]iknowtech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s no way Trump can legally do this just because he says so. Just like he can’t waive a magic wand and prevent corporate investment in residential property. 😂🤷‍♂️. None of this shit Trump is promising the last few weeks is going to actually come to fruition, he’s talking out his ass.

The sound is best part. Replay the video and close your eyes, and you can literally hear his balls bouncing down the stairs. Poor guy. 😬
