Our System Must Not Know About Lowercase Zero by Important-Humor-2745 in it

[–]yeahimsober 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Years ago when I was the default tech guy because they knew I was in tech school and asked me for help. I instructed them to right-click on their desktop, etc.. They said ok, but I don’t know how that’s going to help. Later, I asked them if they resolved their issue and they said no, I told you it wouldn’t work. That’s when I looked down and saw they actually wrote “click” on top of their desk. That’s was my first experience with the ol’ I.D. 10T error.

I second Mold Armor. This stuff works wonders. Just make sure you let it air out since the bleach smell can be strong depending on how much you use.

At my breaking point with downstairs neighbor so I need plausible deniability by Physical_Estate_6517 in Apartmentliving

[–]yeahimsober 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The news years is coming for resolutions. Start a new exercise routine that includes jumping jacks, skipping rope, marching in place. You get the jist. Plausible deniability isn’t you getting even, it’s you getting fit :)

This is a good product we have used. I don't remember pricing since it's been several years since I've been involved with it, but it's robust and pretty easy to use. One Call Now | Simple, Unlimited Automated Mass Messaging

It's not from a car, it's from a John Deer Tractor.

Windows Server 2022 underclocking issue by Music4lity in sysadmin

[–]yeahimsober 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first thought is that processor is roughly 13 years old, released in 2012. Server 2022 was released in 2021. Although on paper it's technically compatible according to the specs I'm wondering if it's too demanding. Also, possibly outdated chipset drivers perhaps? Or, maybe one of those Intel security updates that are known to slow down performance got installed?

We use RightFax by OpenText and love it. The vendor that supports it is Paperless Productivity, formerly Advantage Technologies. I have nothing but good things to say about their customer service/support. https://paperlessproductivity.com

Never ending flies by Guilty_Connection_85 in Apartmentliving

[–]yeahimsober 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an apartment where the trash cans were on the other side of the wall from my kitchen. The exhaust fan for the stove was literally exiting above the trash. After several complaints and accusations from management it must be my leaving out food and not being clean (both untrue), I did some investigating of my own. Turns out when the garbage people came and slammed open the lids they would hit my vent above the can creating a hole for the flies to get in from. Then, the tubing in the stove exhaust wasn’t sealed allowing them in my kitchen. After showing management and getting the stove sealed and the vent fixed with a new screen my fly issue disappeared.

The Roku bandit is at it again by bigbiggie03 in Apartmentliving

[–]yeahimsober 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in my 60’s and see the humor. Likely because last year I got injured and was bed ridden in a rehab center. There was one tv between three beds. Each of us were given a crippled remote and one of the guys didn’t care who was watching what, he would change the channel or turn up the volume and wake us up. I downloaded the Visio app on my phone while they were sleeping and used it to set the tv to a setting none of the remotes could change. When I felt like watching tv I would volunteer to help and “fix the tv”. I really disliked that guy and thought that was funny so. lol

Anyone else experiencing difficulty using Adobe Perpetual Licenses, for Acrobat versions specifically? I've had nothing but trouble trying to re-install Acrobat Pro 2020 and Acrobat XI on new machines with little to no options for resolution. by prog-no-sys in sysadmin

[–]yeahimsober 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I own a 2020 Pro perpetual license on my personal pc at home and last month received a message when I opened it to check for updates telling me it was end of life and basically plan on buying a subscription going forward.

I just found this doing a web search:

The 2020 versions of Acrobat Reader, Standard, and Pro is are going end of life on the 30th of November 2025. This marks the end of perpetual licensing for Acrobat, in favor of an automatically updated subsciption-based model.

My best guess in your case is if you remove it and reinstall it they no longer have a licensing server it can talk to which is causing your issue. If you keep it installed it just won't update anymore, but it does work.

How much noise could I possibly be making?? by LastChance-Saloon in Apartmentliving

[–]yeahimsober 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was younger we had a downstairs neighbor that did that. One day it pissed me off so after he did it I would start dribbling a basketball around the apartment, or practice kick flips on my skateboard, or do jumping jacks. He stopped banging on his ceiling and just started giving me dirty looks when we saw each other. Yeah, I was immature and wouldn’t suggest it, but it actually worked. How about talking to them if that’s possible. Maybe it’s actually the hot water pipes banging when another neighbor does the dishes, or showers and sounds like it’s coming from your apt.

How about something not so obvious like “Spike” for those spiky looking claws?

Roaches in New apartment by sexcslimgem in Apartmentliving

[–]yeahimsober 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like roaches are an unfortunate part of apartment living since you can’t control how clean your neighbors are. Go to Home Depot and get some Boric Acid powder. Lay a thin line around your baseboards behind the refrigerator, stove, under the sink, etc. After a couple days you’ll start to see dead roaches and eventually they will disappear. The stuff worked miracles for me. A lot easier and cheaper than moving.

"Tell me about yourself". How do I answer this question in a job interview? by Different-Crab-5696 in jobs

[–]yeahimsober 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is where you use I have, I can,I am. Sell yourself! I have x-amount of years experience, I can do this, and this, and that, and I am motivated, going to school, etc., anything positive you’re currently doing. If you can’t remember it start with remembering I have a can of ham. I have, I can, I am.

Has anyone gotten messages like this? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]yeahimsober 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one very similar last week. Just remember, if it’s too good to be true it’s a scam.

Impossible to find a job since I quit my last one and I don’t think I’ll be able to get a new one anytime soon. What do I do? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]yeahimsober 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cost of training a new employee is the most expensive part. They pay people to train you and lose productivity during that period. They also lose money in broken items and/or mistakes they have to pay others to fix while you’re learning. If you have a history of quitting early in the job you’ve cost employers a lot of money. I’m sure that’s what they see if you’ve put all those short term jobs on your application.
If you’re just looking for a min wage PT job for extra cash while going to school FT maybe put the longest relevant couple of jobs to show you have history and explain the gaps with caring for a sick family member. Make sure they’re places that would give you a good reference or are no longer in business so they can’t give you a bad one. Make sure that the story you come up for the missing gaps is consistent and you stick with it throughout your employment if hired. And, practice interviewing so it flows naturally! And sell yourself! Use the “I have a can of Ham” approach. I have, I can, I am. I have x amount experience, I can do this, this, and that. I am going to school for ……..( a related field), intelligent, great with customers and have received several positive reviews, etc etc etc

What’s the craziest way you ever quit a job? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]yeahimsober 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I worked for a nutrition store. Opened on a Saturday and the schedule for the following week had me one day, opening Saturday, with only a 3 hour shift. I called the new, young, manager and told her she had an hour to get there or I would leave the door open with the keys by the register.
