I’ve gotten a surprisingly good deal on lenses and cameras on shop Goodwill. My xsi was less than 50$ with shipping. Is it current gen or anywhere near perfect for Astro? Nope. But for the price, it’ll do.

Waiting for clear skies to test my og star tracker with it and a 50mm f1.4 lens. I’ve gotten ok untracked shots but I lose a lot with the shorter exposures

I’m remote so either I trust the user or push commands. I know which I prefer

Between the antics, it was too real

“please call so and so, they’re having issues with their browser”

Call the user, they are out for the day. Leave message to call back

Either never hear back or the issue was not browser related

Either way, tell the original ticket creator to have the person having the issue call us if they want prompt service

That’s how one becomes IT

We have a running leader board for uptime. Servers don’t count. That said, I’ve seen some people who think they actually are turning it off but the machine just enters sleep mode. I only trust

shutdown /r /t 0

Only reason I keep a Windows install on an SSD for my laptop: my schools remote test proctoring service only works with Windows and Mac. I normally run pop_os on it but switch to the windows when I have to take a test.

I see your point but I counter with Neil Gaiman.

As someone who just had a one shot with three couples and one guy who murderhoboed until he had to leave to take care of his pregnant wife, I find this stereotype funny as hell.

I flipped between dark tower and cheater mccheater face on the bottom right.

Assuming you don’t live in a food desert… Or have a baby that requires more milk than you can produce… Or have a pet that requires a particular diet…

Honestly, get the flux and a hot air station instead, imo. Then again, I prefer being able to have control over where the heat is going instead of reflowing everything at once

Might as well add some picos to scratch that itch. And the rabbit hole that micro controllers bring… next thing you know, your work desk is also a solder station, a hot air station, PCB design, circuit design, and you’ve got two extra diy printers in various state of being built/rebuilt

I don’t have a problem, you have a problem

When I say “fucking zoomer”, I mean it in an endearing way. Promise. If a Gen z kid irritates me, I just link the sounds of dialup modems to them. Much more cathartic.
