I'll admit being a chef I was able to get away with only a Chromebook and a phone to do most of my work. Like look for something kinda lovely Craigslist and fix it, or go build you own? Since you’re looking getting into entry level desktop, building your own will be a good exercise. Just keep in mind that you won’t ever by doing custom builds at work, but the skills you will improve while figuring out why your sound isn’t working, or why your hd didn’t show up when you are trying to install windows will be incredibly helpful.

Also sometimes you might have to upgrade components for certain workstations, or replace a component that warranty doesn't cover. For instance we've had the spacer fall out of the DC port in 3 of our new Latitude 5480s, but Dell claims that component isn't covered under extended warranty. So we have to buy and install replacements ourselves.

This paperclip game is cool. My company, focusing entirely on paperclips, is now 5 times larger than any other company in the world. I also cured cancer (by stabbing it with a paperclip). Working in IT is fun.

MC Fruit Stripe posted:Wait until there's more black blocks than not and click compute. If there's more, you gain ops, if there's less, you lose ops. Higher quantum computing means you can win or lose more when you click compute. Ahh yep. surprised it too much so long to figure out (well i've been running around and working with vendors.) but seriously, I just restarted because I realized that buying the tournament strategies is a waste.

Looking at you, ctrl+win+C One of my first tickets when I started working desktop support was someone who accidentally hit the key combo to flip their screen upside down, and they were just at a complete loss as to what happened or why or how. It owned.

Kashuno posted:Definitely the point. If you want new equipment that's outside of the standard, you better have a drat good reason. A reason that is good enough to have an executive spend their time listening to why you think it's worth it. You are all absolutely wrong about this. The executive needs to delegate the power and final no to a manager who handles desktop level things and is trusted to use their own logic and sense and budgetary considerations to approve or deny requests. An executive listening to a long-winded justification for why $1000 should be spent, when that decision can absolutely be logically made by an empowered manager, is 100% wasting their time.

AlternateAccount posted:You are all absolutely wrong about this. That executive needs to sit down and take the time to make said policy, and also impress upon others in the company that said manager actually has the power to say no. Otherwise you're going to get managers in other departments get their executives to override that manager. In which case you're back to bothering the original executive. So I'm going to say you're wrong to call everyone wrong, because you have no (and realistically, can have no) definitive knowledge of the structure and political climate of every company.

So I'm going to say you're wrong to call everyone wrong, because you have no (and realistically, can have no) definitive knowledge of the structure and political climate of every company. Alright, fair enough, but there were a lot of people that seemed to really think that referring these requests to an executive was correct. There are not too many organizations where it makes sense to do that. And yes, doing it the "right way" relies on some good leadership all the way down, which is less common than it should be. But generally don't bother your executives with non-strategic or non-policy decisions that are one-offs or otherwise goofy. If your exec won't delegate the power to do to do your job on the day-to-day basis, fine, refer everything to them until they get the point. I might be spoiled, because my VP basically operates this way.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:meh... I still like my alt+printscreen With Greenshot (and presumably others) you can just tie Printscreen to taking a selectable screenshot like this instead of the whole screen that's the Windows default. I'd crow about fewer keystrokes except on my keyboard Printscreen is accessed by holding down a function key so... eh. But you can also have it autosave somewhere or pop up a menu to choose what to do with it (save or upload to a local dest or one of a billion online services), or open in the image editor to add lines/arrows/text/obfuscation. Sure Snipping Tool does most of that as well, but it's slightly more steps. Also Greenshot doesn't gray out the screen, has a magnifying glass under the selecting cursor, vertical and horizontal guides going across the screen out from the selecting cursor to show you where you're cutting, blah blah.

If he wants to do any server stuff, absolutely. But since he is looking at starting with entry level desktop work with 0 experience, building your own computer at least once can give you some valuable troubleshooting experience.
