they dont' surprise me anymore
i didn't even know they sold it
a pneumatic table is definitely one of my must-haves this year.. just so darn expensive
now that i think about it, this would be handy for remote support techs walking a user on-site on what to do..
"you see the 3rd switch from the top that has the cisco logo? i'll need you to power cycle it"
2 hours later
"oh i found it"
vs.
"you see the girl with the blue hair? unplug the box her hair's connected to"
can't speak for others, but i'm mostly the quiet/introverted/lurker type..
sometimes i just feel like i have nothing valuable to add to the conversation
i will make an active effort to engage more tho
wow so much great memories lol
their good devs and engineers have left
thanks. i have a laptop i deliberately installed debian on.. but that's about it lol
i'll take you up on the support suggestion too.. i recently had to figure out why a unix server went down at work. luckily we had a set of scripts and commands archived from the manager that supported it before he left. all i did was just run them with a little bit of logic and context applied, but it forced me to poke around a bit and seeing what each command did. i was careful enough not to break anything but i found it quite interesting
i feel like i'm not actually against ads. i'm against the abuse of ads, that take away from the user experience..
i won't mind seeing an ad if it doesnt get in the way of what i need to do on the pc. i don't need an ad popping up when im trying to work on something, launch an application, download a file, etc. an ad in the corner, big enough for me to be aware of it, but obscure enough to not interrupt me will serve its purpose.
problem is, ad exposure is non-regulated and i can't believe how the constant ad spamming doesn't seem to phase a lot of people.
i'd like to have a graphic design community on here
