(He / Him) 'The Fixer of things'

Gen-X IT Nerd, who likes tinkering with small computers, regular-sized bicycles, playing video (and latterly tabletop) games and learning interesting things. What is 'interesting' changes on a daily basis. macOS and Linux user but tries not to be an insufferable c-word about it. Showing me Windows might make me grumpy though.

Took it to heart when someone told me "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional".

Trying to find out BIOS information about this laptop. The manufacturer does not maintain a list of BIOS versions, the manufacturer does not publish release notes... The manufacturer does not maintain its own software repository and hosts files via free Google Drive accounts.

If you make and sell computers but your official line is "don't install our firmware updates unless you're having problems because you might break something" then you have no business making computers.

And the level of copium from the fan base is ... INSANE.

It's that* time of year again.

*The "why do I put up with this" time of year.

Installed a new OS on my laptop ... fired up Firefox and went to GitHub ... entered a term into the search box and hit enter ... got the "exceeded rate limit" screen ...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......

No.

Does no one test their websites anymore?

Happy with this though ... cuz friends don't let friends game on Windows...

Rode the fatbike today, as it's #GlobalFatBike day ... the weather was chuffing awful, so don't let this snap confuse you. The second one is more like the general conditions.

Everything I own is now wet.

Finally got round to increasing my monthly donation to Wikimedia ... because apparently fascists hate it.

I know for a lot of folks times are hard, but projects like this cannot survive without our support... find something you care about, and support / fund / promote it in whatever way you can... because it might not always be around.

Oh, and if you can, toss a coin to your instance admin as well. #thanksforcomingtomytedtalk

So... new iPad has arrived...

No, I'm not sure I can tell them apart either... I guess it's only 4 years between them, but they're technology years... so that's like 3 decades?
