Is Fidelity actually good? That's what my employer uses. If I invest 4% they'll match with 2%.

That 'router base station' just seems unnecessarily complicated. I don't need a giant LCD screen on my router.

You can put rubber bumpers under the keys, you can buy a bag of them for 15 dollars.

I'd guess only about 70% but sure.

Do you need to buy that shitty router to go with it?

Doubt it. They have to do something with the GP102's that can't bin at full capacity.

Return it and get an AC-LITE, unless you're using the PRO for it's standard PoE compatibility.

Well not now at 35, living with my mom and being miserable all the time. That's not normal. But at, say, 22, just being awkward as fuck, that would be normal now.

That's kinda what I'm saying. I was considered weird at that age. Now I'd be normal. That's fucked up.

I know a guy who built a crazy bong with stolen chemistry equipment and a bunch of PC fans. You are not that guy, but you definitely have been hitting the bong hard.

I'm mostly talking about girls under 24. Girls 16-24 typically had very strong social skills, even if they were always annoying as fuck, and not having strong social skills in that age range would make you abnormal. Now, even popular girls in that age range have incredibly awkward social...

Junior sales reps of any kind, really. Some of the sales reps over in our sales office are pretty bonkers hot.

Most nurses in the north east are chain smoking, coffee swilling 25 year olds that look 45.

I think people are taking my original point out of contrast. When I said autistic, I really meant it in an incredibly awkward, Yeah, rat utopia is my favorite thing ever. It basically explains everything you ever wanted to know about America.

Yes, but this board is a self-selected sample. I'm talking the general population of people under 24.

She folds the laundry sometimes. You guys won't even make me amod.

Well, the M.2s should use 4x each, and then 8x each for the 2 video cards. That's how it should work, anyway.

It's 24 lanes with a 6000 series processor on a Z170 board. That lets you use 2x M.2 drives and 2 PCI 3.0 cards at 8x and 8x.

That's 60 dollars extra. I would not pay above MSRP.

There are definitely days she smells very not-great.

Same boss somehow doesn't know the difference between 150ms latency and 0.150ms latency. Ugh, thanks for reminding me of the 20 hours of pee smell I need to put up with this weekend.

I was going to expand upon the title but it seems pretty self-explanatory. Growing up, I used to think I was awkward and weird, and now seeing these kids it's like... seriously, what the fuck.

Chris Cornell, sometime in the late 90s.

It seemed like a wasted effort.

I'm pretty sure it was a health mix of pleated skirts and taboos.

The 4 pounds I've put on since taking this job has made it slightly more difficult to fit into my juniors jeans from junior high school, and I'm actually quite upset about it.

Ni hao.

Also realize that I'm in charge of monitoring ~6500 other customers systems, while taking calls. Chasing down a root cause on something that fixed itself in 6 minutes on the other side of the world is not even slightly on my radar or something we even have the resources to do with so few people...

It's not my fault that some salesperson told them that we can fix things before they break in other countries. There were literally 0 errors on the trunk before or after the 6 minute outage. My boss eventually realized he was wrong, but only after escalating it completely out of proportion.

I didn't fuck anything up. We have no contacts or information as to what carrier provides their circuit in Hong Kong or how to engage them. Literally the most we can say is "yup, it was down for 6 minutes."

Though, if I ever get room to build a real lab, it would probably have an IP Office or maybe a virtualized Avaya CM stack connected to the Skype server and used the way you said. Depends how much hardware I find in the trash at work.

It's literally going to have 1 SIP trunk going into it. This is for my house lab, to start working on my MCSE in communcations, not as a production server.

All systems of government are amoral. They're only as good as the people who run them. And, in a democracy, the people who run them are only as good as the people who elect them.

There's almost no overclocking headroom on the 1080. Attempts to push a EVGA 1080 FTW higher than the stock overclock yielded no real-world performance boost. Meanwhile, the new Titan X can take a 20% overclock without a sweat, and performance appears to scale almost linearly.

They didn't even complain to my boss. He just happened to see the follow-up email and went into a tirade.

A phone line goes down in Hong Kong for 6 minutes, due to loss of signal from the provider. I can't provide a good enough explanation to the customer. I get yelled at by my boss for 2 hours.

Apparently, with overclocking, you can get it to almost 70% faster. And that's with the voltage being locked.

It's definitely not someone peeing in there. There's very few people on my shift. At one point, a toilet or urinal was leaking water through the wall, into the drywall, and soaking into the carpet, making a huge pee puddle. That smell lasted for weeks. But now it periodically comes back...

Our NOC smelled like urine all night long. This is the third time in the past 6 weeks we've had an unexplained pee smell. 10 hours in a windowless, pee-smelling room.

Would you believe I've never seen an episode of Buffy?
