    Only because he’s white. If he was black, I would have said stereotypical black. I wasn’t addressing this at you. I’ll edit to say stereotypical douche bag frat boy turd thing.

    This is why giving importance to “not the focus” of the message gets in the way. Now we aren’t talking about -insert meme here- anymore. We are talking about someone’s personal issue with how I phrased something. Honestly, just proves the point of getting distracted by irrelevant things.

    Why would anyone care who the stereotypical white dude is? That is giving importance/energy to the wrong thing. I didn’t even really notice nor care who he was (and still don’t). That said, I don’t generate memes with him in it so I guess I’m doing my part. 🤷🏻‍♂️



  • Meanwhile, if you use Microsoft Teams & Outlook with the Teams add-on installed … and you are wondering why your email links are suddenly opening in Edge instead of your default browser, disable the Teams add-on in Outlook and rage for a moment at the stupidity.

    Teams is forcing Edge browser to open links in new Teams and by extension, in Outlook. Setting the default browser to open links within Outlook settings just leads to un-clickable links. The only way to fix it is to disable the Teams Outlook add-on.

    Yes, same old Microsoft. Anyone who thinks they have changed in any way since the days of forcing Internet Explorer as the default are sadly and woefully mistaken.


  • Most everyone has been to this point some time in their life. The question is how you handle the answer.

    The world is cruel and doesn’t care. That’s why YOU must care for yourself, not kill yourself.

    My suggestion for you is to take stock of all that you have to offer and then list what you like. Interests, hobbies, skills, knowledge (like can you do your own taxes or expert at filling out student loan forms, you can do construction or plumbing, etc.). Anything goes.

    Now see what lines up from column A and column B and write down a list of jobs that needs/uses those things. Now you know what kind of work you can do and won’t hate.

    Next list what you like and dislike about your personality. Then, do the same for everyone else. You should see a pattern (i.e. I like intelligent conversations/ I dislike loud people) of things that go hand in hand. Like the loudest person in a room is usually the dumbest too.

    Anyway, once you know all these things, you should be able to tell if a job is for you and if the people you’ll be working with are a match.

    The key is to like what you do and the people you do it with. The money will eventually come if you don’t hate going to work or the people you work with. At the very least, your life won’t suck. Also, never stop looking for a better job or opportunity.

    A perfect job doesn’t exist (unless you are your own boss) and the good ones don’t always stay that way. Adjust to that reality and always be looking ahead. That is how you navigate/work the system. I am a sore loser and never back down so letting the system win is not an option. It shouldn’t be for you either.


  • Not a software dev but tech is central to my life.

    3 monitors for normal use

    1 - personal streaming, video meetings

    2 - remote business desktop access, main personal browsing window

    3 - online chat presence window, personal email client, other

    3 monitor gaming

    3 monitors for racing simulators and any games that support it (which make sense)

    Single monitor gaming

    1 - Game related content on left 2 - Game window in center 3 - Game related social media or streaming

    3 monitor home labbing

    1 machine or app per monitor Triple monitor stare and compare windows GUI / CLI / Monitoring system interface

    I didn’t realize how extensively I used my monitors until this exercise. Feel better about the spend and space tax related to it.


  • What about for people like me?

    I bought my device outright. No loans, no payment plans and no reason for that functionality to exist on my phone. Yet there it is, just waiting to be taken advantage of whether there is a valid reason or not.

    This is the kind of apathy that leads to phrases like, “If only we had known” but we do … and do nothing about it.

    I can and will at least do my part for myself and encourage others to do the same.
