It's where my Dead pan psychology get over big mouths. I'm a really cool guy honestly... And will listen to anything... Understand and be able to fold when reason wins.

I always keep in mind that someone is unable to even describe the issue... I learn fast.

If you start to want to mess up... You're in for a ride. I brush "with" lawyers, cops and judges on regular... And these guys are clueless...

TCP ip, Alarms, surveillance, you cannot fool with me.

And every lying bstrd became a part of the pavement I'm standing on.

I'll tell the truth right now even if my life depend on it.

But I reminded one of them more than once on the real facts that should be considered first.

One thing to love about experience is, the next job is only going to be easier.

When I say clients would lie to me and still expect a fix two stick out.

• A lady refused to run any security as she considered it to be more hassle than help but would pay me to clean her system a few times a year. As Forest Gump said; "Stupid is as stupid does."
• A client with a laptop suddenly would not boot. I asked if the system had been dropped and it was denied. I mean come on... I could see the scuff and dent in a corner from the impact. The impact had dislodged the RAM and re-seating solved all. Even after I pointed all this out a drop was still denied saying the dent was always there but it wasn't a month earlier when I did some other work on the thing.

Just don't need that garbage anymore. I DO have a new job presently... Well, actually, I've had this job for almost 8 years. That job is called retirement and is the best job I've ever had.

Just finishing doing a flash drive with a Windows 11 install to use on my main system and MS Surface as an upgrade install. Both have had Windows 11 installed before when free so upgrading again won't cost me anything as they each already have a digital license.

My Surface is no issue as it actually qualifies for Windows 11 but my main fails on the CPU which is stupid as it is a Ryzen 7 8 core/16 thread CPU that will run just about anything without breaking a sweat.

On the main system I won't upgrade before making a current clone backup of the Windows 10 install just in case.

I agree, that I have not dealt directly with customers often for technical advice... I tell the seller what customers need and deal with technical implementation. ( that makes me responsible of sellers speech )

And I haven't seen much of the impressive one of them lately...

And without any presumption, While they always ask for someone else... The poor ladies always ended with me in their face if they where not happy. And Honestly tried to make customers conscious of the inflation of the problem it really is / was..

And the guy that sends me there knows I'm going to bash him as much if he's wrong.

But I bashed them enough to be careful and last years where like complementing a thought.

Now we sell to Schools board, pharmacies and a lots of car dealers that want 100% On site control of every movement.

And Since I was kind of really severe, I mean a seller must know what he sells and be able to demonstrate it.

And a concurring boss, that is far from a yes man... With backup...

Our company is able to install the most comprehensive solutions in the most harsh conditions. And the smallest projects can take time before they get done.

If they made it. We configure it. The smaller you are the tougher it is... loll.

This is where you need someone like me... Sponsored by my boss to bring common sense solution to be discussed. And I decide what has to be billed.

At this point in my life, I fall asleep hoping my boss has a long and prosperous life. And he cares for me has much as I am for him now.

On the processing level The last Rizen I got is 24+2 cores at 3.4-4.8 GHz, loll and I think the CPU fan have never needed to turn on already and probably never will. I use it as a workstation and can run 4 x 4 cores virtual engines...

On a laptop

+ 512 video cores at 3ghz and...

I have to follow this closer... I mean. I wait a lot... But this was more than a small speed upgrade.
