  • I’m on Win10 LtSC IOT… The only reason I moved from Win7 to that operating system was so I could keep steam alive. My steam account is 18-19 years old. Any one have step by step instructions on how to get the nicest, easiest to use Linux distro for a guy who uses 5 different windows keyboard shortcuts entry 5 minutes?

    I’ve been with Windows since 95, I’ve been working in IT support since XP… I just want to get away from Microsoft, keep all my games, keep a file explorer and be able to quick change my brain to learn new (just as easy ) keyboard shortcuts like Crtl-C, Ctrl-F, Win-R, Win-E…


  • He’s sadly right… My wife is Chinese, she watches AI Chinese dramas and she has told me that most of China watch AI dramas. And Gen Z watch AI, Everyone younger than 30 relies on AI.

    Now before you downvote me, I’m 37 and I’ve worked in IT since I was 19… AI gives me nothing I can’t find for myself. The only time I’ve used AI was when chat GPT was fresh and new and I told it to be more sarcastic and snarky in it’s answers and I argued with it for 2-3 mins before I got bored.

    Humans are much better at arguing with me and being sarcastic to me.

    I don’t care for AI, Turn off all the air conditioners and AI burns out.


  • My company is moving to Windows 11, I had one of my service desk teammates tell me that for an IT support person I’m very critical of change

    Before Windows 11 I was critical of change because every change came with no new training for my team and a giant email to the company explaining very lazily about the changes and with the same text at the end of every email… “Any problems call the service desk”.

    Now we’ve lost active directory… Now I’m in a position where an incredibly incompetent IT security have restricted our access to intune and Entra and then the business wants me to still perform my daily duties as normal.

    Upside is that same IT security is getting removed in the next few weeks.

    Probably to be replaced by someone else even worse.

    I just want to learn how to use Entra and Intune… Everything Microsoft touches turns to shit.

    Active directory just worked… It was built when people at Microsoft actually knew how the operating system worked… None of those people are still at Microsoft…



  • I’ve been a hardcore PlayStation guy since I was about 9 when I got my first console the PS1.

    Crash team racing is better than Mario Kart 64

    Spyro the Dragon is the best 3D platformer of the late 90s.

    I’ve had a PS2… That still works 22 years later.

    I was in the great wars of PS2 vs XBOX.

    I like Halo 1 and 2, I like Killzone 1, 2 and 3.

    I was there at the beginning.

    I was there when Sony moved their PlayStation HQ from Japan to America.

    I was there when the quality of good JRPGs and adventure games plummeted so we could be fed a new call of duty and FIFA every year.

    These days I’m PC, PS5 and switch. I will not be buying a PS6 or a Switch 2.

    It should be mentioned that… I’d rather throw myself down a cliff than buy an Xbox.
