Somehow I don’t think the kind of people that look at egirls are the ideal military candidates.

Mummy mania
By the 12th century apothecaries were using ground up mummies for their otherworldly medicinal properties. Mummies were a prescribed medicine for the next 500 years.

Yeah, I worked call center IT when Comcast was still in house customer service. My job went overseas and that's was that.

I remember reading a story on legal advice who bought a "smart fridge" that had a screen on the fridge doors.
But the screen kept displaying all these unwanted pop-up ads anytime he tried to get his fridge to do fridge stuff.
Why does a smart fridge need to exist? Why does a fridge need a screen/monitor or to connect to the internet?
All I need is a basic fridge that keeps my food cold.

To be fair I wouldn’t mind being able to remotely turn it off if I left it on. Literally the only use case.

I don't think it's the printer's fault. It's a Brother and it just worked straight out of the box. Then a year or so later, it intuits somehow that there is a firmware update needed and meh, problems.
Comcast?? You have my respect. That's one ISP we haven't been stuck with here, Spectrum/Charter is bad enough. We tried Metronet, spouse didn't like their offerings or prices, we switched back.
Edit; I have been on reddit maybe 3 years so no cake needed.

Was inside job really not doing well? It was good and it was getting a lot of positive buzz. I’m surprised it didn’t warrant at least another season.

The only time those notifications are actually useful are at a laundromat. Drop cloths off, start the wash, go to the bar next door and have a beer.

Happy cake day by the way! And it's just "I did IT for Comcast once but seriously turning shit off for an hour and then back on actually solves like 75% of home IT issues." I am not an expert by any means, u just have an HP scanner/printer that I love and sometimes I have to deny it electricity for an hour to make it stop fucking up.

Isn't that the MS answer to every problem, turn it off and back on. ;) I once owned a Saturn with a similar problem.

Hmm. No. And I can always use some upper level IT advice, despite being a volunteer "webmaster" on WordPress and "sysadmin" on Google Workspace.
I had friends who, when they knew I was job hunting, used to send me links to IT jobs. Just bc I'm better at using computers than them, I guess. I did build one once... But I had to point out to them those jobs require an IT degree, which I do not possess, or coding proficiency, which I also do not possess beyond basic HTML 4. My son is the family coder/gamer.

Have you tried a hard reset? Sorry, I don't mean to go basic IT bitch on you. But sometimes it's an ass to me an I have to unplug the thing for an hour and then plug back in.
