Anyone who will hear me rant!

More like gaming desktops or laptops. Desktop and laptop are a form factor, PC is just a personal computer. Rage all you want, apple users, a Mac is a PC.

My employer runs macos. So I’d argue Mac is still a business solution, but not as common as windows. Tools exist for managing macs at scale as well.

How old do you think millennials are? 80?

I’ll echo this. Doing quite well for myself in IT and I have a big fat 0 for certs. I’ve interviewed many people for jobs as well, and I learned certs are bullshit.

Many will pay to have people do them for them. Or brain dump them. Many times I’ve danced circles around people that look way better on paper than me.

If you learn the concepts, work and apply them, get that hands on experience, it will help.

Honestly maybe even a quick run through an MSP is a good place to start. You get to touch a lot of things and learn quickly.

Yes, I remember these days. I had a few Ubuntu CDs from back then.

I don’t think I am, I often regret things I say or do. Even little things.

And cider! Holebrewing is a lot of fun, and you can definitely get started on the cheap.

This has been my experience the past 8 years or so. Before that they seemed to kind of have an idea. I get approached about stuff that is totally not my area of expertise in my field lol. Like you’re a tech recruiter, shouldn’t you have a basic idea and understand that a SQL expert is not a Microsoft 365 expert, or something?

What? You can’t simply delete your account? Bleh. I’m so ready to get rid of it. It’s like Facebook.

No. I want 2 copilot buttons. One on the bottom right. And one… No wait TWO in the start menu!

/s…

For home users, most of you I’m sure are just using a web browser 99% of the time. For this, to beat a dead horse, there is Linux.

Sriracha sauce on a hot dog, period.

I dunno, my QuickBooks shows me gross and net profit. Gross profit is your income after you remove cost of goods sols (COGS). Net profit is what the org nets after everything else like payroll and other expenses.

I think it’s intentional to avoid eyes on taking it down.

I don’t consider this apples to apples.

Walkman/Discman/MP3 Player. These you need to acquire music yourself, then inject it.

Spotify/Tidal/YTM/Deezer etc, these are services that add recommendations and allow you to listen to practically anything under the sun. They are no the same thing.

But is that net or gross?

Yup this is what irks me most. I don’t think of audio books and music in the same context. Why the fuck are they mashing them together? Wrapped includes podcasts…

This is why they have record profits. They attack at both ends. Strip features, increase prices.

yes but often there are some mixups… which is a PITA for those of us with ~10K+ songs
