Did I lose it again? Someone just flagged my posts (2).

You are right on the border. One more flag and it’s gone.

And only one of your posts was flagged and approved, not two.

Now that greenreader has become mod, he is taking over OxyDac’s satirical comments. Oh no, poor Oxy!

Anyways, some more bad news I was too depressed to tell I was too lazy to relay to you (for a whole week)

my van driver died. He wasn’t responding to calls and so HR went and found him dead in his house. It is sad because I’ve had him for the beginning of the year, and this to me is a really close death (in the feeling that I have been so close physically to someone who has died), their soul to never walk the earth again. He may not have been a friend, and I never knew him well. But to be in proximity to someone you know exists, only to find that they have quit this earth altogether, seems disturbing to me. What’s more is that I learned he’s pretty much alone, his wife died a few years back. And while this shouldn’t be a big thing, I for some reason find it to be. He’s only my van driver, but I know he’s human. I know he’s felt pain. I know he participated to this society and earth as well as he could. I pray that he is rejoicing with his wife in heaven, as my new van driver says. Amen to that, if said is true.

Chromebook wouldn’t start.

Right as I got to tech, as they opened the blinds and addressed me, it started up.

I guess it knew that the assortment of torture tools that tech has is far greater than mine, so it mustered up the strength to suffer for a bit longer.

The tech guy said that that’s usually what happens.

lol. love when that happens

Well, at least I spared the embarrassment of not getting my own Chromebook to start, being the self-proclaimed tech guy and all.

My favorite is when my chromebook decides to randomly sign me out and asks me to sign back in. I click ā€œSign Inā€ only to be told that ā€œChrome sign in is blocked by whoever setup this deviceā€. Close that window and it automatically pops back up again. Restart the thing, guess who’s back!

Since it would hurt my self-esteem immensely to actually ask for help from someone who probably cannot fix it anyway, I just restart, close the window, restart, close the window, restart, close the window, restart, close the window, restart, close the window, restart, close the window, restart, close the window, restart, close the window, restart, and the chrome finally gets tired of me doing that so it magically signs me back in.

Oh, and my ā€œDevice managerā€ has also blocked chrome flags and dev mode (I can see why), so I impress my friends by typing ā€œbattery_test 25ā€ in crosh and tell them I’m running a script (Technically correct). They always thing I’m hacking something or other, and don’t actually read the text on the screen (If they did, they would find that I was just running a fairly inconsistent batty test.)

Wait, you have access to crosh?

IDK chrome crosh because I never got to use it for a while.

The school moved accounts and forgot to turn off devtools for about an entire year!

to actually ask for help from someone who probably cannot fix it anyway,

Wait, tech is useless at your school?

They always thing I’m hacking something

Same with my brothers. I find a really simple game on replit, open devtools on my main computer, change some variables to go speed or something, and then they ask me ā€œdid you hack it?ā€

They don’t understand that changing variables is not hacking. I mean, I guess, since you are gaining ā€œunintentionalā€, so technically ā€œunauthorizedā€ access to the program, but still.

Or, take a game meant to be modded (practically begging to be) - the farming simulator series. I play fs22 and my brothers constantly ask (now that I modded a jeep to have like 500,000 hp or smthing, which turned out badly, probably since I didn’t dig deep enough) ā€œwhy don’t you hack it to go 74 or somethingā€ (I couldn’t get the speed to go over 74).

It’s so funny how oblivious people are to computers. I can imagine myself being uneducated in other fields/topics I’m already educated/somewhat educated in, but imagining myself not knowing something this simple is so hard, because it really does seem like very simple and intuitive logic - that is if you think about it for a little bit.

Yes, you don’t? I even moded it to look like an old CMD window, monospace green font. For some reason the green makes people think I’m hacking more than the white did.

They don’t have Admin access to the computers! They have to take it from you and ā€œRun advanced diogosticsā€. I know what the issue is, they know what the issue is, the district policy rules all. It’s not that they don’t know how to fix it, they just can’t.

Amazing. We have one of those Google Assistants at our house and I will set to say random stuff (Like ā€œTest 0302 complete. Results have been sent to the designated deviceā€ or ā€œScript runtime 400 complete with zero compiler warnings and errorsā€) at random times. My siblings think I’m crazy (valid).

Making the parking spots taller?

It kind of is. I mean, I don’t expect everyone (ā€˜Everyone’ being everyone that has used a computer for at least 10 years) to know how TOR, Public-Key Encryption, or HTTP works, but you would think that they would at least know that the internet is not secure in the way that everyone thinks it is (Just take TikToc (I actually had to google how to spell that), no one knows that the company that runs it is ā€˜allegedly’ selling your data!
Same thing with online forums, and especially websites. Even a dumb person could setup GA and track the basics, someone with basic PHP knowledge (like myself) could setup a simple script that logs everyone’s IP to a database!

Like farming equipment?

I think part of it is once you know something, it seems easy, just take an escape room for example. If you designed it, you think everyone inside is dumb as a doorknob (Expression stolen from siblings) as they rip up the couch instead of opening the microwave (for example). The people inside however, think this is so hard, and that this clue is not hard at all.

Perspective is quite interesting

Actually, a better example would be electrical engineering. I think we have a basic knowledge about battery, light-bulbs etc, but maybe not about voltage?
