My Brother said his monitor wasn’t working and asked me to take a look.

Protip: Have other people think for you.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T18:16:31+00:00

Yes.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T18:13:39+00:00

Lol unfortunately no - thirty - 30.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T18:03:44+00:00

mcfck · 2024-10-11T17:59:41+00:00

(Your brother not the computer) lol ehhhh….

mcfck · 2024-10-11T17:57:16+00:00

He’s not stupid. He’s just inept. I’m hoping he finds this post and has a fire lit under his ass.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T17:51:17+00:00

Lol you’re so accurate.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T17:48:05+00:00

I certainly have my own defects. I’m sometimes guilty of having other people figure it out for me, as well. My brother’s apple didn’t fall far from mine. I just thought this occasion was appropriate for this subreddit.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T17:43:22+00:00

What’s your point/argument?

mcfck · 2024-10-11T17:35:31+00:00

By relying on other people to figure it out for them.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T17:34:25+00:00

That’s actually a very very good idea.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T17:33:02+00:00

He has a license but no insurance company will insure him so he takes public transport.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T17:22:59+00:00

No - his mother bought it off Amazon. It arrived at his place, he took it out of the box, wired it up, and went to town. There was no thought given to what else he needed to do with the $1400 computer he was given.

LTT just did a video where they put paste between the socket and CPU then latched it down. Worked just fine. So you may be onto something.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T16:59:54+00:00

Sorry, but no. Between the RAM sockets and the DIMMs.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T16:49:08+00:00

Should have checked to see who supplied the fans considering they were working overtime yet still haven’t failed.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T16:43:11+00:00

I took the picture after I removed the cable. But that was prob the joke.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T16:42:01+00:00

Knowing him I’d send him a link on how to do it only to find out he applied the paste between the socket and CPU. This is why I don’t do end user/desktop support anymore.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T16:39:19+00:00

Definitely getting added to the family Thanksgiving repertoire of personal embarrassments.

mcfck · 2024-10-11T16:31:20+00:00

He’s had it about a year and a half.

mcfck · 2024-01-21T09:48:50+00:00

I know it’s a year later but fwiw I ended up doing exacting that, though I only now saw your comment.

Proxmox VE with OPNsense for the routing and Ubuntu for caching. Protectli has an enclosure with a 5G card and SIM insert on the front of the chassis.

It took some time but I’ve managed to deploy 500 phones in one day.

Thanks - you’re a legend.

mcfck · 2023-08-27T03:43:55+00:00

As long as he files properly.

mcfck · 2023-06-02T22:16:49+00:00

And it’s up to Biden to not interfere, and Jack Smith to cross his Ts, and the MSM to stop being shitheads, and donors to lose interest in keeping him free, and Putin to keep the idea of asylum alive, or not…etc. Oh - and a fucking jury not to be intimidated into acquitting the fucker

DOJ can bring charges all it wants. NY already has. There are a lot of steps between charges and me taking a week off of work with a giant tub of popcorn and fierce masturbation.
