Tech product guides trying to troubleshoot your issues: lol have you tried turning it off and turning it on again 🧐 I'm not going to read any of the things you said you did, if it doesn't work then get fucked. Go to settings and click this option that you said isn't even there anymore

Reddit: here's some actual helpful suggestions on where to find settings that can fix your problem. We're more reliable than google search. Except for when we just tell you to buy new hardware instead of trying to fix your problem

Some obscure tech blog article from 7 years ago: i *google ad* gotchu *google ad* *google ad* *troubleshooter you never knew existed* *google ad* *solution to your problem*

I have found myself in a bizarre cat and mouse game with my government benefits office.

Last year they tried to deny my health coverage for an unknown reason and I had to go like 3 layers deep into the call center hierarchy before I found someone who was able to audit my case and confirm that someone on their end had entered some data wrong and that actually my coverage was approved. Folks were also constantly losing my documents, probably because they made me send so many of them. You have to send a truly appalling amount of documentation to prove you're poor enough for food stamps, at least in Indiana.

So this time, when it was time for my annual redetermination, I put together a 42-page PDF packet with a table of contents listing each document, what page of the PDF packet it was on, and which requirement it satisfied from the list they'd sent me. I then went back to the list and checked off each requirement, adding a number next to each which corresponded to an item listed in my table of contents, and I included that in the packet as well. I put in a spreadsheet listing all of my income streams and expenses broken down by month, bank statements, utility bills, and a bunch of other stuff they requested including, for some reason, confirmation of my Venmo balance. (It's zero btw. Don't keep money in your Venmo. It's not a bank.) The table of contents was like 13 or 14 items long. It took me hours. I sent it in a week or so before the due date and then called two days later to explicitly confirm that it had been received and added to my case.

A few hours ago I got a message from the FSSA saying my food stamps and health coverage are both being denied based on lack of documentation.

So anyway I am calling them tomorrow.

Okay, so a couple of summers back both my PS4 controllers started getting the ever annoying stick drift (my silver on the left stick and blue on the right hilariously enough). And while I got a new controller in to replace it as a bday present, I never actually tossed either of them. Mostly because they were still usable as back ups in certain games. Like my blue was awful in any game that used camera controls, but in a game or platformer like crash it worked just fine, while the other was fine in any 3d game but in a 2d style then movement was almost impossible (like I still remember jumping over a gap only to lose my jump momentum half way through and falling to my death).

But that brings me to today. In my travels of trying to fix my PS2 controller hilariously enough, I found out that you can actually buy replacement joystick pieces and just replace them yourselves. Assuming you have a soldering gun and equipment of course.

So I got a couple of those parts and ordered a little soldering kit online, and I'm all ready to try and see i can't get my controllers working back at 100% again.

Wish me luck!

irrationally annoyed that the lenovo customer service guy fixed my issue in 2 minutes after me trying for hours

So I've started my "Intro to Computing" class for college, and I'm doing the reading. I'm rather familiar with computers and tech, but being self taught I don't tend to know the official names for things

Today I have learned that the system of grooves in a motherboard connecting data and power is collectively called the "Bus", reaching to other "Terminals" and this has brought me indescribable amounts of joy

My RAM sticks came today so I’m ready to give srwe another try soon. My computer started lagging when I opened it the first time and I was like immediately no. I’m so scared of fucking up this PC again. Especially not right before the season starts. So, I quadrupled my ram and now I feel like it’s a little safer lol.

[antisocialxconstruct]

well. I got frazzled by Fan Complications™ so the pc is getting put away to be revisited later.

My modding spark gets reignited, only for my computer to freeze up on me every 30 minutes.

Im so tired all of a sudden. is it usually because I usually have caffeine at lunch but not today? the smaller lunch? Surely it's not the tiredness than comes from changing 2 lightbulbs, breaking down a few boxes, clearing off my dining room table to take inventory of computer parts, and ordering pants and bras online. like surely im standing and moving a lot more in that time during a regular working day.

I don't want to take a nap because that will throw absolutely everything off for this week I just know it. But there's nothing I want to Do that's obtainable. I just finished the show I was watching, I don't feel like reading. I guess I could take Out the boxes I just broke down, but hnng
