Status: Sometimes I feel like technology is magic and not in the good way.
I have four chargers between my house and car. There are days when each of them works great and completely charge my phone inside of an hour or two. Then there are days where they show charging but the battery level doesn't go anywhere or actually declines. The phone's not even in use; screen is off and it's sitting out of the way. I don't notice problems when I completely shut it off but I don't do so enough to say it never has problems charging in that state (so there's possibility something running is draining power but it's so old it has virtually no apps on it).
What the hell is wrong with this stuff and why can't it work the same way all of the time?

Status I think my auxiliary laptop (ie not the work machine, not the desktop, but the Lenovo Yoga I use mainly for non-work zoom calls and in-person D&D) is dying. One hour on battery playing youtube dropped the battery from 100% to 30%. It also occasionally starts using ALL THE RAM and slows to a crawl, although I think that's some weird interaction between Microsoft Defender and the system. Contemplating just replacing it with an iPad. Although, I do use it to project on an older projector. But I'm sure there are wireless dongles that can do HDMI output out there and accept a stream. Those are mostly just static images (overland maps), so not exactly high performance requirements.

Status: Got my frist Steam game 100% this weekend. For a game I bought Saturday. Granted, it's still in EA, but it's definitely worth the $3.
Of course, the game is what you pay for. Not much depth at the moment.

@kazitor Keep at it and soon you'll have 21 games where you've gotten all the achievements out of 1000 Steam games! (Which is roughly where I am, not that I generally care about achievements.)

Yeah, I think I'm at that point too... The games I've got 100% on are games like trine, or naughty ones. I am missing like 2 achievements from 100%-ing cyberpunk, but

I might get around to that today. Someone turned off the cleanup script on the build machines so nothing was built last night. The deployment script doesn't check for an artefact before nuking the test machines.

@Zenith I'm not joking when I say that one time, the DSL technician, after finding nothing else wrong with my connection, simply reversed the cable going from the wall to the modem to magically fix it. Too bad I can't do something similar with the battery or charger cable here.
-
@Zenith it is possible one of the two devices - and only one - is so ancient it doesn't work properly with a crossover cable.

It doesn't make sense. A crossover cable if still a crossover cable if you swap the ends.

Nah, in Canada they have remote controlled industrial flamethrowers at every parking spot. Industrial scale problems need industrial scale tools.

From a review of a Japanese video game with a cute anime girl on the cover:

Status: Fuck you fucking Outlook garbage.
Apparently I can no longer copy or paste multiple addresses. Pasting multiple addresses either makes Outlook go even more retarded than it already is, or just keeps the last address. WTF is this shit? (Additionally, this worked in December.)
Yes, I've even tried formatting the input addresses in different ways.
This problem also highlights why I hate working with Microsoft's garbage. Googling for this problem leads you to an utter pile of shit. Take this "answer" for example. Resetting winsock and renewing the DHCP release? Fucking utter bullshit, and that reply is just the tip of the shitberg.
Edit: So a bit more experimentation later, this seems to be a Firefox feature. Pasting shit works in Chromium. I'm still blaming Outlook though. They probably fucked something up.

@cvi odds are they’re relying on something not quite standards compliant and only tested in Edge.

I'm not sure how more installing more garbage on my machine will reduce the number of problems I'm having. (Also, I'm thankfully on Linux most of the time, do they even offer a "phat client" for that? [The question mark is mainly for form, not planning to install such even if it exists.])

Yes. They call it SMTP or someshit.

That's an option. I think I remember how that works, and I already have
nc
installed on my system. I'd probably have preferred using a GUI in this case, but I realize that creating a GUI application that actually works is asking a bit much.

Which, I’ve been told, Exchange (or whatever-the-fuck they call their broken stuff) doesn’t actually handle all that well.
At least we’ve been told by IT that once they’ll migrate us to it I have to either use outlook web or outlook on windows because thunderbird or other linux mail clients don’t work with it. I have no idea how they’d fuck it up, but I’m not questioning that they did.
I guess soon enough you can only read email from within MS Teams, anyway.

@topspin Thunderbird doesn't support Exchange IIRC but it does support IMAP which M365 also supports.

Why would anyone voluntarily use anything other than IMAP?
I probably don’t want to know.
