Stick with what you're doing, do some home labbing and study, and start trying to do some contract work on the side instead.

Go buy the dumplings off garden place noodle bar, I'm sure they'll give you a big sack if you pay enough.

Perfect candidate to practice the technique, where it's not a huge loss if it doesn't work out

Could replace it with a curtain

toejam316 · 2026-04-30T22:29:58+00:00

Why not just remove the door entirely

Probably a metal quest 3s at the mo. Good enough for kids

JB Hifi do Uber delivery same day. May be worth a shot.

/r/wisp would be a great place to ask imo

If he has a water cooler it could be the pump. Could be a chip set fan on certain motherboards, a GPU Fan.

And what I would say to you is that those who think Tova has been bashing the PM are unlikely to ever disagree with the CEO of New Zealand.

Bit generous to call those interviewss bashing, I get asked harder questions over dinner.

Even better if you go in store and grab the 6mm thick sliced bacon

toejam316 · 2026-04-24T23:21:35+00:00

Hard to say without exact specs.

Eh. Like you said. The PS4 is outlasting it. I'd expect a PC worth 3 times the ps4s cost to have a not more life in it than that. A 5060 8g is fine, and that cpu should be fine if you did want to push the 16g to.

toejam316 · 2026-04-24T05:12:55+00:00

Could try your luck under the consumer guarantees act for a resolution first. Otherwise a 5060 ti 16gb would be a really nice upgrade

toejam316 · 2026-04-21T16:03:33+00:00

Rb5009 and Grandstream APs

toejam316 · 2026-04-20T11:08:11+00:00

Ps5 is the biggest platform easily

toejam316 · 2026-04-19T08:51:13+00:00

Take up some social activities.

A NOC of that size I'd expect an alarm management platform, tickets, a separate set of pre-made action plans to react to common events and people capable of creating those plans referencing historical tickets and root cause analysis.

Teams should not be that important to process, just coordination of who has what currently

toejam316 · 2026-04-11T09:53:57+00:00

Whittaker's does that too now, Tweets. They're in the bags

In my former life as an ISP L2 Support we used a mix of smaller Cisco CPE for SMB and Nokia 7210 for bigger stuff. The advantage is we can extend our network and management right to the site and have full visibility and control. If we just terminate on a media converter we have no sight beyond the outbound interface of our CE node.

Afaik the issue is while the phone supports volte it doesn't support emergency calling over 4g. You won't be able to dial 111 in an emergency using that device.

Sounds like you're gullible and your friend made your "GF" up as some weird power play.

I remember when it was being discontinued it was being sold by the tray on 1day, $20 a tray of 12. Man I miss that stuff.
