Little Things You Hate

Sony...I churned through a lot of phones when I was taking kids mountain biking all the time. Then I got a Sony and it just kept on living! It was also an awesome phone + camera. It's best act of survival came in Japan as I used it for a follow cam in some trees. I hit a tree with it and it was launched into the snow. I managed to find it and it was still recording.

Errr samsung phones last 5 years+ piece of piss. stop buying Iphones....

I had (still have as emergency backup) a Samsung Galaxy Mini that is 10 years old. I guess it would now be considered a mildly clever phone, it's running such an ancient Android platform that a lot of newer stuff doesn't work on it. Battery life is crap 'cos it's so old & worn out, but it still does what it really needs to do.

I have an old S2 still kicking that repurposed as a security camera. Samsung hardware is generally pretty good.

My 4S was in service for over 7 years, original battery. Apple stuff sometimes works out not so expensive given their lifespans.

Currently using a 10 year old iMac that started life as the base spec, then got a SSD and more ram added aftermarket. Looking to replace it this year as some of the software I use will no longer work on High Sierra

my HP POE switch telling me "Expansion module A is not a supported HP switch product".

Both slot A and B return this fault, three cards (one BRAND new from a sealed bag) everything running latest software.

It's like veteran affairs telling a vet "no you can't have benefits, you died in the Boer war"




Thank god for lifetime HP warranties.

Yeah, I hate it when that happens.

Did you try slot C?

I played IT guy today and solved an iPad issue by closing the app and opening the app...the younger than a gen y co-worker was amazed by my each saviness...I felt like a dad.

Wait, what? On behalf of dads....have you ever met one that can do the IT’s?

Fuck no...I just assumed that feeling of getting an easy one up on the youngens is how dad's feel when they have a (rare) win?

I’m yet to experience this alleged phenomenon.

And can’t see it happening now.

I was just happy the close/open/off/on technique paid dividends.

You definitely have it nailed.

I also fixed something with a good old fashioned reboot today. Does wonders.

I’m the IT guru in my house. My oldest is 7 so I figure I will hold that position for around 2 more years.

He's going to check your history and dob you into Mum.

I give you 2 weeks. Also, he’s playing dumb, and drinking your beer while he gives you busy work.

Is that when you kick it a second time?

When there is no other option and it doesn't make sense then reboot
