wow, that’s reassuring. people in my life are telling me I should have pursued a career in IT support, repair, or admin because I built a couple computers and tinker with software. are there actually places in that market for people without formal training like in that ancient greentext about the rookie IT guy?
ohhhhhh. I had no idea it did that. no, thank you for simplifying it. I’m only self-taught so I barely have a hobbyist’s understanding of computers.
sorry for taking a tangent and let me preface by saying I’m not criticizing your setup or desire for security at all. it’s obviously adding a particular kind of physical roadblock to what stealing your stuff would require.
but I discovered that BIOS setting at a young age and have had this burning question about what exactly does it protect? it does prevent booting but in a situation where somebody has access to your computer that only really stops them from using your motherboard right? is OP’s usecase the actual intention, where somebody would be required to physically steal at least part of the computer in order to access it?
60 yrs and many wars later:
“you know maybe I don’t love a capitalist Shah for you. do you think you could maybe try the republic thing again, just so I can compare them? still sell me oil though. don’t not sell me oil, like, ever.”
that sounds a little harder than what I’m trying to pull off. I heard there’s this super secret scumbag lifehack where if an autistic person picks a country different enough from their own, their social symptoms tend to just appear as average immigrant idiosyncrasies.
I’m pretty repulsed by my own country’s culture so I’m hoping I’ll be spared that “grass is always greener” fallacy that tends to befall other expats.
take my energy, blahaj ✊ evolve to your next form
trying to emigrate. I can’t die here this sad and this alone. I’m motivated by self hate and a delusion that since I was happy one time it could happen again
Couple of these here 50 states gotta go. I’m annexing them on behalf of Rhode Island. Try to fuckin stop me. Wait does anybody know my powers only work for 48 hours? Cuz otherwise I think I can bluff
Could have been worse. My first initial on reading the title was that some enshitification factory like Fandom. com or Microsoft had bought it
edit: wait nevermind. Chosen apparently is a literal enshitification company
I wish I was half the man he is
Figures, it seems like job hunting in any kind of field now is utterly fucked by ai.
But that makes sense though, I guess I’ll shoot my shot for some humble positions. Thanks again 👍
