#IT support

[kabr0ztrousers]

Well, it was going to happen eventually.

You don't work IT for this long without it happening

I accessed somebody's PC, looking to help them install a VPN so they can use their personal device to work from home.

This machine was full. FULL of porn. The downloads folder was nothing but porn. The desktop was nothing but (mercifully) VLC icons.

I have a strong stomach for this kind of thing, but YOWZA clean up your shit before you have the techie around, alright?

Hello everyone,

I really hate to do this at the beginning of the most stressful month of the year but I don’t know what else to do.

My city’s job market has not been kind to me and so I’ve taken up streaming games to build an audience to make some money. But that hasn’t gotten that far yet. I’m scrambling for ideas to meet my bills at the end of December and for January, so I come to you through the power of Tumblr.

I have a few ventures I would appreciate you considering:

TheFirstJOman streams on Twitch and YouTube; donations through PayPal and Kofi

MWAC photos for wallpapers, prints, and et cetera

Logicality web design, Windows applications, and IT support (PLEASE only reach out via email, and PLEASE do not use/share my listed number maliciously)

All of these I offer in hopes you can get something in return for your money.

I currently need:

CA$864.00 for January rent

2x CA$107.59 for December and January internet

CA$126.01 for January car insurance

About CA$100 for December electricity

About CA$300 for December gas, groceries, and bank fees

That’s a grand total of 1,605.19 Canadian Dollary-doos that I’m looking to work for to ease my financial stress; that’s ~803 TFJ members that can donate $2 each and find entertainment in my streams, ~321 $5 MWAC image licenses, OR ~20 hours of Logicality IT work.

Please hire me if you can and please reblog if you can’t. I desperately need this to reach people before the end of this month.

Thank you for reading, thank you in advance if you reblog, and a huge, special thank you in advance if you’re able to spare some money 🫶

Don't piss off the guys in IT

Not that I have but I'm sat here just waiting for a decent voice for my screen reader and contemplating the possibility that I might have to continue with the bad one and as we are so close to fixing it. that's a lot of power that the IT guy has and no idea what difference it will make but he's pootling along just solving a problem.

Also I have a guy in my corner because he saw my discworld map and now he knows I'm a big ol' nerd

[albi-mander]

oh btw if it makes anyone feel better, IT support ppl don't ask about the obvious solutions first bc we think you're a dumbass.

we do that bc EVERYONE is a dumbass, including us, and we need to rule out potential sources of dumbassery before deciding it's an exotic API glitch.

Guys helpppppp how do you delete a side blog on mobile 😢 I made one but didn’t post anything and I want it gone

[pumpkinsplicelatte]

I don't know who needs to hear this but:

Restart your computer.

Obviously this doesn't apply to everyone but if you're having computer trouble restart it. It solves like 90% of computer problems because the computer will forget what the problem was and go back to being normal.

My job role is changing for the third time in less than a year so I thought I would start looking into learning Linux just to solidify a path of my skills instead of being a blanket "technology support"

Turns out, even just picking a starting point is it's own maze!

Ok I'm gonna ask this now before I come across this again in the future.

Does anyone on Tumblr know what on earth this is? The first time this happened I noticed the option to connect to any wifi is not available, the wifi button is completely gone.

I needed an ethernet cable to do anything that requires wifi.

My school's IT couldn't help me, and afterwards un-installing/re-installing the drive didn't help either. They recommended to replace one of my cards (sorry I don't remember which) with an older version, but I said I'll think about it.

Then it fixed itself later when turning it on again, after giving me 5 hours of anxiety.

I think the issue is something with the wifi card, because I started to tilt my laptop at a different angle after switching the side that I plug my mouse in the opposite slot.

I just want some clarity and knowledge cause that put me on edge for the last few months of the semester. I have zero knowledge on this stuff.

It's a MSI laptop running windows 11.

Streamline Your Office Setup with These Essential Tips and Gadgets

Setting up an office can be a daunting task, whether you're working from home or establishing a new workspace for your business. From choosing the right furniture to integrating the latest technology, each decision plays a crucial role in creating an efficient and productive environment. Here's a quick guide to help you get started.

Office Setup Times: Tips for Efficiency

Plan Ahead:

Space Assessment: Measure your office space to understand what furniture and equipment will fit best.

Set Up Essential Tech:

Computer Setup: Choose a reliable computer or laptop that meets your work requirements. Ensure all necessary software is installed and updated.
