Maybe stop using windows?



I keep hearing about failed drives, never hapened to us. And host has some 20 year old hard drives in his Win7 PC. They still work. Only thing that ever went south was RAM, probably some lightning-induced overvoltage. Computer kept crashing, turned out 2 of 4 RAM modules didn't work properly. RAM is, or at least was fragile.

Ok yeah, host once managed to break off an USB stick. You know, in the early days they were long and cumbersome for a few hundred MB. I think actually a cat jumped on the laptop and in fell down onto the plugged USB stick, snapping it in two. Don't remember, was before I was created. That data was lost for good. Wasn't too important.

Windows didn't cause the hard drive to fail.

its a process
yeah it really sucks at first but im moving more and more away from win. its a botnet with this cloud shit
you can do a lot with your phone nowadays and graphene is awesome.

still a lot of software that needs windows and the compatibility between microsoft 365 and libre office is often shit. but i try to get out of the vendor lock before its too late.

I have zero interest in being a graphene expert just to open a webp file

Graphene is the OS that replaces stock Android. I have no idea how to do meaningful image manipulation on a phone. How would that work with your finger? It's bad enough with a mouse - unless you're a Bear. I have an Intuos Pro drawing tablet,but that helps only marginally if you can't draw at all. Good enough fro retouching AI though. A lot of Alice reaction pics for D&D need to be adapted.

In the hospital again, not a problem, I had a reaction with a medication I was on.



On top of this, a lot of drama about technology not working so no time to give to Joy. Gotta sleep now go to day job, then tomorrow afternoon. It will be 18 hours at minimum.

[Wofl]

There was a 2.5 hour wait but I got in under 15 min bc symptoms were serious but supposedly they will clear up on their own.

[Τamamo]

I had a feeling it was something like this again
Take your time and get well soon!

[Alice]

And I thought you were waiting for my reaction in the D&D thread...
At least you didn't saw your head off while trying to make some wooden wedge.

I told you to take it easy, I told you dog bear

[Wofl]

If taking it easy means scrambling to do 1000 things alomg with my phone not working randomly because some doof in India didn't flip the right switch when I changed my cell service and my entire business basically down for 10 hours yesterday as they try the same thing over and over. My business partner was crying over it, then I get this reaction on top of everything at 8pm last night and spend an hour in the emergency room (could have easily been 3) just to be told it's a "common" reaction even "the most common reaction". Certainly didn't feel that way and they zoomed me past three dozen people waiting so they must have thought it was important to do that. They gave me something to fix the something that I got from something else.

Anyway

In the mean time I make tons of money simply by having tons of money and doing absolutely nothing
First million soon

oh yeah - one med against the side-effect of another. just make sure you dont end up in er again. stress does play a role.

lmao pajeet tech support meme is real. never had to deal with an indian its still local people working for phone companies  or general tech support here. why? because nobody outside lithuania can speak lithuanian. you cant hire indians to talk to customers here.

[Wofl]

Another 8 hours today, just keeps getting worse.

The state of American customer service is fundamentally broken. Every Indian says they're a manager, they all handle multiple calls at once, they all eventually hang up not solving anything better than you can do by just searching google

[Wofl]

The best thing for sickness is to pull an all-nighter, let's go!

[Wofl]

After the past 60 hours I can only conclude we are trapped in an endless cycle to our own destruction.

Today we're testing how much stress and lack of sleep can break a Bear.
