Lover of everything from LIT RPG to textbooks to all things nerdy. The pic is my cat laying on my bed playing with a paper bag, purring. (I was playing hit the purring target with the camera so it's probably not that great.) Opinions are my own, and because I'm often told I'm not entitled to have one, they live here. Don't like, use your mute, block or unfollow buttons please. In the words of Jason Asano, "The door works just as well for going out as it does for coming in."

Yeah this Windows install is drunk and needs to just go home. I still can't add bluetooth devices without someone else having to intervene because that setting won't stay put. Christ's sakes. Think I'll just nuke it and redo it the Meepercat PickyTastic way. Because at least THAT way I know the shit's gonna work.

@FluidEscence Someone got it to work once. But I do not wanna have to have someone come catsit me every time I need to add a damn bluetooth device which if I keep this fucker as is, looks like that's how this is gonna roll. Because we got one done, and then I go oh, so I should be able to do the rest, right?

@FluidEscence I don't. But I also don't wanna do it later this week after an ear appointment either if ya feel me? sigh.

@FluidEscence I just need to figure out the fastest, most painless option, put the big person pair on and... and... crunch. bite the bullet.

@FluidEscence What is this Rufus thingymeeper and where does I find it? Shit, I also need to extricate my product key from this thing. I know how I can do that! Belarc Advisor to the rescue baby!

@FluidEscence Maybe chocolate will make biting this bullet taste better? Sigh.

@FluidEscence I mean, really. I have, actually been eating things that make me wanna eat.

Meepercat,
@Meepercat@mastodon.stickbear.me avatar

@FluidEscence I do too, which is why my grandmother feeds me like a cross between a 4 year old and a cat! Eat what I want and eat when I wanna.

Meepercat,
@Meepercat@mastodon.stickbear.me avatar

@FluidEscence I squeak the truth! I eat like something between a 4 year old and a kitty! I eat weird things, and I eat when I want, and I eat either tiny quantities or a ton.

@FluidEscence Ok my ass hasn't moved from this chair. That's a problem if I wanna get this thing done.

@FluidEscence Giggles, grumbles, then gets up.

@bmoore123 @FluidEscence Are you sure? Because I've watched reinstalls blow my keys before.

Several Months Ago
Me: You should take another line on my plan. you'll have lots of data and it'll cost you less, and you can get a new phone.
Mother: I don't want that. I like Koodo. They have great support. And I don't care about data.
(Note: She had 1 GB + unlimited calling for $35.)
Fast Forward to Today
Mother: I changed my mind, I'm going on a long trip and suddenly I care about data.
Me: Ok, join my plan.
Mother: No, I like Koodo. I have more loyalty to this company than any cell phone company in Canada will ever have to me.
Me: Fine, go get a better plan. You're way overpaying in 2024.
Mother: I don't want to use the internet, let's call them.
Koodo: We don't take calls anymore, but you can text with our AI and it might see fit to allow you to schedule a callback.
Real person from Koodo: You should log into the online portal for our best plans, I can't give the same promotions.
Me: 💭How do you like your support now?💭
After she reluctantly logged in, we finally got her set up on another $35 plan with 30 GB data. It's still overpriced, but now everyone's happy, I guess.

@simon Oh my lord. At least when I say something about tech my mother listens. Like, we were talking about phones and the like the other day and plans and such, and how I was thinking about switching because the Affordable Connectivity Program died, and she's like oh you should do $thing.
Me: Why would I wanna do that. Xfinity Mobile uses Verizon as a backend and you have Verizon, and you have nothing but problems that you've had for years.
Her: Wait, you're running on info that's out of date I think, I think they use AT&T, which you already have, and like. Let's look into this better...

I wonder if I should show my brother my little tiny computer that is NOT a kitten toy. Giggles.

@FluidEscence @sclower I sigh fucking noticed. Now, picture me actually saying that while sighing, which I'm told only I manage to do. This thing is buggered beyond all belief. It looks like someone did it drunk.

Meepercat,
@Meepercat@mastodon.stickbear.me avatar

@FluidEscence @sclower And it looks mind you, like I'd have to get into the bios of the accursed thing to be able to install from bootable media. Oh isn't that just so cute and adorable and squeaky!

Meepercat,
@Meepercat@mastodon.stickbear.me avatar

@FluidEscence @sclower Oh for Bob's sake. But then you're gonna need eyes to deal with that boot menu right?

Meepercat,
@Meepercat@mastodon.stickbear.me avatar

@FluidEscence @sclower And what kinda rocket surgeries does it take to make/get a bootable thingydingy?

Meepercat,
@Meepercat@mastodon.stickbear.me avatar

@FluidEscence @sclower I've never meowing done it before, how the meow do I know if it produces bootable USB's reliably? I have a drive here...

@bmoore123 @FluidEscence I'm being cockblocked (tlitblocked?) every time I try to connect anything bluetooth.

@Meepercat@mastodon.stickbear.me avatar

@bmoore123 @FluidEscence It seems there are other comedies of errors I haven't found yet. This thing's only 24 hours old.

Meepercat,
@Meepercat@mastodon.stickbear.me avatar

@bmoore123 @FluidEscence Oh. Oh yes it does. Because I spent most of last night pounding that much sense into it.

@Meepercat@mastodon.stickbear.me avatar

@bmoore123 @FluidEscence Headphones? Yeah that's part of the thing here, I have... a cheap 3.5mm pair of ... earbuds. As my headset right now. The only comfortable headsets I own with the ear monster are... bluetooth. so, this be a problem

Meepercat,
@Meepercat@mastodon.stickbear.me avatar

@bmoore123 @FluidEscence I have a front facing mic on this thing but no idea how good it is

Meepercat,
@Meepercat@mastodon.stickbear.me avatar

@bmoore123 @FluidEscence Rim is easier, indeed. So I'll just be squeakless.
