What the hell is #Zoom doing? I've tried to turn off all optimizations, turn off everything else running, but any video call I get on just turns my Intel MacBook into a space heater. Anyone else seeing this? #techsupport #NotSoZoomy

You know how they say don't fuck with the people who handle your food?

Well, there should be a "don't fuck with the IT team that handles your account"!

What is nya.one?

I was doing a general search around the internet and found that my @The_End_Terrace account seems to be on nya.one.

I have locked down the security a bit more on the account but concerned it might be an issue.
Thank you.

Obywatele Fediświata, skąd najlepiej brać domenę i u kogo hostować stronę internetową w roku bezpańskim 2023?
Chcę zrobić landpage/stronę osobistą na potrzeby służbowe, przewiduje raczej mały ruch, a nie ma mnie na dużych socjalkach i wolę mieć kontrolę nad swoim wizerunkiem / reklamą w sieci.

Full text search has been merged in main branch, and will be in the next (and final?) 4.2.0 beta 🎉

It is opt-in, so it will take some time to be filled with people content as they enable their profile to be indexed, but this was one of the most wanted Mastodon features for some time.

We plan to deploy it to mastodon.social and mastodon.online in the coming days to have a bit more feedback on it and see how it behaves in the wild.

How do we mere mortals not on @Mastodon opt out of providing #HelpDesk #TechSupport for the crowds or people who can’t figure out how it works and post to #Hashtags we just happen to follow with their questions?

Refer them all to you?

Or just #Mute and #Block on first sight?

Can anybody explain why Google Messages for the web renders photos with blotches and overexposure issues (below) when the same photo saved to my laptop (above) looks fine? Never seen anything like this. Happened 5 times, all from my wife's iPhone. Fine in the phone app. Photos from others are fine. When I see stuff like this I always suspect color management issues, but this is weird and variable across the frame, I don't know what to think. JPG decoding error?

Finally had time to debug the Dolby HDR error message from my AVR. Fixed with a firmware update. Added bonus: I found the TV's picture settings so I can opt for cinema/filmmaker settings during movies. Double added bonus: the new Chromecast has a YouTube Music app. Game changer for me.

Today's free tech support session at the South Burlington Library was busy. People love free #TechSupport. (1) patron needed to transfer data from old to new laptop, (2) patron wanted help getting started with an iPhone, (3) patron wanted to learn about organizing photos and music on mac/iPhone, (4) patron wanted info about online donation systems, (5) patron was locked out of Yahoo and Google email, (6) patron needed to transfer data from Android phone to PC. #Vermont #Libraries

First #Monday morning #email. An angry customer who couldn't access their email on their mobile all weekend, while everything worked fine on their computer. I checked the logs and noticed they were entering the wrong login credentials (a typo in the username). I pointed it out, and they admitted to having changed their phone recently, probably mistyping the data on the new one. A double check before sending a fiery email would have been wiser 😉

Just got an email from a tech support person that strongly suggests they didn’t read the report I sent them. Here we go again.

APT is completely broken and I don't know why. Whenever I try to install, remove, or upgrade, I get this error. My OS is Kubuntu 23.04. Any help would be appreciated!

Deshalb will ich auch einen menschenwürdigen #Mindestlohn und das #Ausnahmslos!

Und ja, ich weiß wie geistig aufreibend und verschleißend sogar #TechSupport - Jobs sind.

Ich hab' solche schon gehabt!

I need additional opinions, PC Enthusiasts...

At its worst, PC symptoms were:

  1. When left awake but inactive for long periods, deadlocks
  2. 75% of boot attempts deadlocked during startup
  3. Rarely, bluescreen with "core_watchdog_timeout" error
  4. Even more rarely, automatic hard restarts before OS bootflow
  5. Literally zero problems during normal operation. Multiple tests run against all the hardware.

(1/3)

The only possible culprits left, as far as I can tell, are motherboard, CPU, or power supply stability (like, something is happening when components try to wake up from low power states) Or maybe one of the M.2 drives. Seems highly unlikely? I've booted UBCD from USB many times without deadlocking, but I don't think that means much given the simplicity of UBCD

(3/3)
