  • I guess I’m proud of the fact that I’ve been taking Microsoft certification exams since 2007 and literally passed each one on the first try. Literally none of my friends / colleagues have done this.

    Not sure what that says about the exams, but shrug

    Also proud that I took $2,500 in June, invested it in options, got it to $6,400 in September and withdrew the original $2,500. Now I’m working with House money. I did take a $364 loss this week, but I’m still at $5,500. My attitude and perspective have changed. I don’t react emotionally anymore or make revenge trades that end up blowing up in my face even more like I used to.

    I remember the announcement of Windows Recall being the final nail in the coffin for me. I’ve been using both for years, but windows was my daily forever. With Win10 support ending, and my “old” machine still chugging along, I’d planned on using Win11 with a modified ISO to get around the TPM requirement. I’d been toying with the idea of going Linux as my daily, but once Recall was announced, that decision was basically made for me.






  • Same. I remember him like becoming a thing and then I saw a video where there was all this panic about losing a bunch of data since it was all stored on a striped array with no backup, and I’m thinking “this guy is giving tech tips?” I wasn’t sure if it was satire, but I thought it was dumb and found him / his staff just annoying.
