I’m sorry you got stuck with that. I too worked evenings and weekens. But I left. They ended up hiring three people to replace me.

I took a risk and exited IT. I now manage technical teams and projects in the dental industry.

I understand the usefulness of good video content, I was simply responding to the fact that this IT guy chooses to read rather than watch.

I hope opportunity knocks for you.

25 years in IT and I didnt need youtube.

"After months of slow back-and-forth over email trying to find a compromise, including offering to exclude LGPL code from the assets, Unity basically told us we were not welcome back to their Store, ever. Even if we were to remove all LGPL code from the Unity package.

Where it gets fun is that there are currently hundreds if not thousands of Unity assets that include LGPL dependencies (such as FFmpeg) in the Store right now. Enforcement is seemingly totally random, unless you get reported by someone, apparently."

Hahahahaha

Medium?

Hmmm. Distro?

We have some old, great HP printers. Rock solid.

Fuck the latest HP.

How many of these states allow the employment of children?
