All the function parameter and returns types are going to be “any”.

And we’re not going to tell you.

What’s really annoying is when you spend two days trying to track down a bug, only to find out it’s not really a bug.

The PC OS market is saturated and has been for years with Microsoft dominating the market since mid 1990’s.

They were smart enough to realize the market was tapped out a long time ago and have worked aggressively to transform the entire organization from an OS provider into a SaaS provider that also happens make the dominant PC OS. Windows is slowly becoming just a funnel to chain you to the Microsoft “ecosystem” and make it easier to sell you more of their services. Good business decision but shitty deal for the customer.

That said, one of the major selling points for Windows has always been backward compatibility. Enterprise customers like to keep running their ancient software and some of them will pay exorbitant licensing fees to keep doing that.

It really used to piss me off when the older techs would make me crawl around in nasty crawlspaces while they stood around and smoked cigarettes.

I get not wanting to be there but I’m not not about to leave some poor kid who doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing fumbling around in the dark by himself for half the day.

Sometimes I think I should have stayed in the trades. Then I remember having to tear hundreds of HVAC smoke dampers out of a new building and replace them with fire and smoke dampers because the boss decided he was just going to whatever instead of what the blueprints called for.

Then I’m good for a while.

I’ve seen plenty of back ends that needed to be destroyed.

Fair point.

Back when Zoom recalled all their employees to the office a couple years ago, that should have been the end for them.

Their product is designed to facilitate remote work and communication and they basically advertised to the entire world that, in their minds, it’s ineffective. That was a blunder of epic proportions.

Call it “pest control” and charge an additional $75 per month.

Apparently it had been real popular for people to throw empty bottles over the fence, and hear them smash into the empty pools.

It’s not the focus of your story but this right here make me angry. I HATE litering. I don’t enjoy confrontation but I have given complete strangers ass chewings in the middle of the street for it. I can think of few things more selfish and entitled than treating the world like it’s your own personal trashcan.

Yes.

Not going to lie, It took me a second.

He just had another kid so he’s probably busy at the moment. Newborns are hard work. Especially when you’re 70 years old.

Mavis Beacon: “Am I a joke to you?”

I think some ENT’s like to downplay the severity. I was told “we’ll do it on Friday and you’ll be back to work on Monday” which was completely unrealistic.

Recovery time is more like 7-10 days.

That’s how you know it’s really bad.

They didn’t put you under for that?? God Almighty. My septiplasty was brutal but successful so it was worth it for me. At least they had the decency to knock me out for it.

Something I learned early in my career is that nothing will make your blood pressure rise like a suddenly quiet server room except for the sound of the UPS tech muttering, “Oh shit. No no no no. Shit. Oh fuck.”
