For everyone trying to find the setting— On my android phone, there's a setting called "data collection". Mine were already all off, so idk who it affects

Idk what 128 is on a phone, but my galaxy s21 had everything still off. Guess I'll have to keep an eye on it

Can confirm, not everyone indeed

She leaned forward, turned off the monitor, then turned it back on. "I did this 10 times already, and its still not working".

And this is why I couldn't work in IT support; I just don't have the patience for certain things. I always love teaching people new things, but most people don't care when it comes to computers; they just want it to work effortlessly even when they're the one screwing it up.

And especially working on-site! Oh my life, I bet there's that same few people... just constantly failing to even try lmao

I hear ya, and appreciate the info because I didn't know that. I was saying that I would do both before calling, and then again when they asked me

But this was back in like 2004-ish, so I'm not sure what was best practice back then. I would just try it all before calling lol... going so far as to shut down and unplug for a few seconds or more

Honestly, I would try the restart first (cause it was easier/more automated), and then a full shutdown and power-up. It's been many years since I called any IT support though, but that was mu process. Cause I hated having to call for help lol

As someone who has been asked to restart the computer, even though I already did that before calling IT support... I internally sigh, but begrudgingly do it again just to appease their process. Because I assume plenty of people don't do it and make y'alls life a tiny bit harder, when a restart would've fixed it

Also, how many are solved by making sure the power cable is not just plugged into the wall, but seated into the back of the computer as well?

Someone answered already, but I just wanted to point out that I loved your use of "grok". I'm native English speaking and I could only guess what "win in-a walk" could mean through context. You're doing great

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

I mean you're not wrong lol. I only mentioned it because of the comma before an "lol" at the end of your sentence. I have android and it started correcting my "lol grammar" with commas as well.

I like to punctuate with "lol" dammit, I don't need it to be grammatically correct!

Are you also a millennial who uses an android phone?

Also, the floor pattern where her left calf was (our right), is blended over rather than having the pattern's white knot design. So it seems he definitely moved her with a photoshop. Still crazy how well he rendered the rest of the man in the background. The dude's too good to seem real, which is an awesome compliment imo
