  • This kind of pisses me off whenever people complain about YouTube pushing ads or charging money. It’s absolutely insane how much storage and bandwidth the amount of video hosted and uploaded every second requires. How could it possibly free?!

    Bundled with YouTube Music it’s even extremely good value.
    Spotify premium costs USD15.36 in my country.
    YouTube premium, including YouTube music USD19.58.
    That’s USD4.23 for no ads where I watch the most videos. Absolute no brainer in my opinion.

    My previous job included basic it support. It was a tiny office and we didn’t have a dedicated IT guy. Now I work in a big corporate environment and boy do I use the support. Why?

    1. Admin rights, my account (all accounts) are locked down tight.
    2. Convincing the computer of working like it should be is not what I’m paid for. I have a never ending task list, troubleshooting my own system is not on it.
    3. I get to sit and watch and do nothing while someone remotes in.

    I’m sorry.




  • First of I run linux on my personal machine.
    Second, I shut down my work machine at the end of the day and if there is an update - let it update. The result? Not a single problem with windows updates in years! Strange, I know.

    Sidenote: I always thought people were partially making fun of windows updates because you have to reboot all the time. I have to log out to switch from integrated to dedicated graphics in Linux and pretty much 90% of all updates require a reboot. And to conserve battery I have to shut down the laptop anyway, since hibernation is but a dream. But whatever, it’s not a competition.

    If you think cleaning is picking up after yourself you haven’t actually cleaned. If I had just a tiny bit more disposable income I’d love to spend it on someone properly cleaning the apartment.

    Between two full time jobs, commute, and a toddler there is not much time, much less energy, to clean beyond a quick vacuum, and wipe down of the bathroom once a week.
