Time for today's edition of the #TechIsShitDispatch. Here's the tech-related shit I've had to wade through since yesterday.
Part of why I post these is for the catharsis, but I am also absolutely trying to make a point here. I want more people to wake up to how bad things are and get more people agitating and demanding better.
We deserve better.
So let's dive in.

Here's today's dispatch from the "tech is shit" battlefront, in which I bitch about the things that went wrong for me with tech since my last dispatch that I had to deal with.

That's all for today. I'm sure you're all on the edge of your seats waiting to see what's in tomorrow's thread of computer shit I needed to fix.

You all probably thought I was exaggerating when I said something went wrong with my IT every single day and I often spent hours dealing with the problems. I wasn't exaggerating. Here's today's edition of "computer shit I had to fix"…

Time for today's edition of "what went wrong with the computers today"…
When I sat down at my computer this morning, the Windows 11 upgrade I kicked off yesterday had indeed failed as I had suspected it was going to <https://federate.social/@jik/115069952179945603>, but not in the way I expected. My VM was on the boot screen with the spinning Windows booting animation, and on top of that was a pop-up: "Please insert external drive".

Attached: 1 image I'm suspecting that it's going to be at 15% when I go to sleep tonight and it's still going to be at 15% when I wake up tomorrow morning. That is, I think this upgrade is fucked. It's a good thing I did the upgrade on a clone of the VM. If it fails I can throw away the failed VM, make another clone, and try again (which will, no doubt, fail again. 😑).
