- Comment on What is the difference between a managed switch and an unmanaged switch? 4 days ago:
I had a nasty virus in my network and had to get a managed switch to port mirror into an ids. Sadly my IDs was so badly configured I never found it that way. Random repeated virus scans on all the windows gear in the house finally found it
- Comment on What's the name of this 80s song sang by a solo female singer? I only remember her saying "nothing really maaaa-tters" or "nothing truly maaaatt-ers". Has a vibe like I Feel For You by Chaka Kahn 2 weeks ago:

I'm stuck with it at work. Plus Linux usually sucks on Mac for a long time while drivers get written
- Comment on Anon studies Organic Chemistry 4 weeks ago:
My 3 terms of intro to o physics were like this. The mechanical engineers that suffered through statics couldn't even bring the curve up too much.
Even with that, it I didn't have two friends in those classes I never would have passed.

- Comment on They say remote working less productive 1 month ago:
I have about a 2 to 4 hour period where I can get deep work done. Starting around 10am usually. Sadly I'm in meetings daily until noon so by the time I have cycles my brain is already nearly burned out.
I got a recent ADHD diagnosis so that and my meds probably are related. - Comment on They say remote working less productive 1 month ago:
I work from home and never want to go back, but I don't use the time I used to commute to work. I usually sleep until my dog gets me up and roll into my first meeting

I want to like to play complex games these days but everyone is distracted as it is and spending hours to learn the game only to forget it by the next time you play is exhausting

Linux on the phone has come a long way I hear. I have been meaning to buy one and see if it can be my daily driver. Google being shitty would definitely push me there
- Comment on Train your brain 2 months ago:
Totally, when I want to learn a new subject in my field I will go find a uni course with a public curriculum and use that to help my studies. It also lets you find books that have ostensibly accurate information
- Comment on Train your brain 2 months ago:
Having the material doesn't mean you know it unfortunately. You could probably give yourself a PhD level of education yourself with resources publicly available, but you would need to be able to learn on your own, and putting together the curriculum would be a problem since you are starting as a novice at whatever subject it is.

- Comment on Should you look for a relationship if it feels like a compromise? 2 months ago:
Look for a FWB or poly thing.
Relationship doesn't mean sex.
You can have sex in a relationship, but it's for you to have a companion, which to not want. - Comment on Uhm 2 months ago:

Iirc the data is etched into the plastic so it might still be recoverable if you could add the reflective layer back. Somebody that knows what they are talking about should correct me though.
