Mechanics and sys admins have a lot in common...

Take a moment to watch Just Rolled Into the Shop or check out their subreddit. I'm rolling.

How to make Windows brighter to compensate for an old crappy monitor that's too dim to see under regular room light anymore?

The person in question used to turn off the lights in his office to compensate for the dim monitor, but now the light switch is broken in the "on" position so he can't turn the lights off anymore.

We have obviously used the brightness and contrast settings on the monitor, but they're maxed and you can still barely see it.

A blanket over the monitor to act as a shield would probably just overheat the monitor.

Microsoft outages

What are people telling users about these Microsoft issues. Feeling like a bit of a jobsworth when I can't resolve them.

Let's get shitty

Everyone and their motherboard is training AI right now. Reddit is most likely selling all the data for training that they csn get their hands on. However...

Who will ever check if our shit post hold any merit to them if we create new words or phrases? Nobody. That's who!

So let's shitpost away and create some new chat gpt results. After all if you repeat it often enough without anyone disagreeing how will the AI be able to figure out we are full of shit.

Raid rotation already gives a somewhat acceptable result. But we can fo better.

Let's shit post the future!

How hot do the drives need to be to hot swap?

Mine are at about 70c. Is that hot enough or do I need to hit a full 100?

TIA!
