Yeah, it was, especially when you have ADHD 😂 I eventually got fired because I got really bored with it and my performance suffered.

Their reasoning for not PXEbooting was that when they tried to before, it was too slow. They tried to fix it, failed, gave up and made us do it that way. This was the Windows XP EOL to 7 upgrade.

"...will you accept a whale that thinks it's a unicorn?"

This is my first interview after 3 months of applying (not every day, mind you, I've probably applied to like 300 jobs though). I have another one in the next few days as well, for another company.

LinkedIn Premium does actually seem to help, compared to sites like Dice. Good luck out there, it's pretty rough right now.

A job I'm interviewing for now asked me if I had experience with libvirt, qemu,and KVM.

(For those not in the know, libvirt is a wrapper around qemu, KVM is the name of the technology, so if you have experience with one or both of the first two, you definitely have experience with the last one).

Installing Windows with SCCM... without PXEbooting them. I had to use 3 different flash drives for like 8-10 computers at a time, record the MAC addresses, set the hostnames and IPs and then kick it off. I did this daily for weeks.

I work in IT and my first few jobs were working with Windows doing Desktop Support. It was extremely boring and annoying. I've been a long time Linux user and broke into that side, professionally as soon as I could.

I was a Linux SysAdmin and was forced to use OS X for 2 years. It was painful.

We used Jira at work and when the ticket was set up properly (stories, subtasks, etc..) it worked well.

Most IT job postings done by recruiters are hilariously bad, I scrolled through some and I'm just like "really? That's all you're telling me?"

Same, I generally only watch stuff in 4K or 1080p on my 65" flat screen. I think I was hoarding it all because I was bored and the weather largely sucked where I used to live (NE US) but then I moved down to Florida back in October and suddenly I don't have to be stuck inside for half the year because it's no longer freezing cold (although it is starting to get pretty hot out already), and I actually want to go outside and do stuff haha

Yeah... I have a lot more hardware than that 😂

24 core Threadripper, 128 GB RAM, 189 TB across 22 HDDs and 8 NVMe drives.

Yeah, it's definitely a clusterfuck now of "where do I find this". Back when Netflix was the only game in town the problem was just "what looks interesting" and the answer was usually "not much" 😂

I agree, I'm typing this up on a S23 Ultra. IMO the Pixel line is the best, my Pixel 2 XL was the best phone I ever owned in a decade, with the Nexus 6 right behind that. My 6 Pro was nice, but the screen was way too fragile and I wasn't a fan of the camera hump.

No problem, this is essentially the Human Cent-iPad South Park episode playing out in real life... Obviously without the shit eating and mouth to ass sewing 😂

I haven't used one in like 8 years, IIRC the X2 or X3 had an 8 core Exynos, they've obviously changed it since then.

Thank you, you may proceed!

They can be the same partition, they are for different purposes though. EFI holds the EFI binaries as the name implies, while /boot holds the initrd, kernel, and the bootloader config files.

If they are the same partition, /boot needs to be formatted as FAT32 and have EFI as a subdirectory. Otherwise they can be separate partitions, either way the partition that contains the EFI directory needs to be formatted as FAT32.

Step 1: enable Remote Desktop in Windows

Step 2: download a Remote Desktop app from app store

Step 3: use the app to login to the Windows box

Step 4: profit

I'm here to collect your cat tax.

Also, for us non-Windows folks, just set up a VNC server and do the same thing.

I think I eventually got into ZIP disks once the price came down a bit, I was only like 12 or 13 at the time, so I didn't have the money to buy it early on.
