Nuke / Pave to remove vendor crap & update drivers / bios

For separate accounts it's good practice to use a daily user account with a different admin account (no one ever does this outside of a business that I've ever heard of, but $0.02 to consider)

Do the unboxing!

Going home early before I bite a user. Plan to lay flat on the floor and drink beer through a twisty straw. #winning.

@Dashrender said in website for MangoCon?:

And the Con is paid for. Prices for airfare went up over the weekend, I'll see if they go down tomorrow. I'll book regardless.

Try with a private tab, they do track your activities and it's not unheard of for them to muck with prices.

SAM Link blast in 3...2.....1.........

Edit: shit, he beat me lol

Killer feature list: button to replace user & reboot computer.

TL;DR - less than 3% speed difference, winner is decided by $$$ and features.

Well, it's official. They've broken more crap than I can fix today.

If anyone needs me I'm going to be hiding under my desk with a bottle of scotch.

12" rusty iron dildo

duct tape

rubber ducky

dozen roses

zip ties

JB Weld

128kb ram keychain.

One of the little things that irritates me in advertising is "Sub-$$$$ price!" we all know it's sub-price minus one dollar lol

@johnhooks By using his pic for my avatar I hope to one day gain some of the powers he keeps in his moustache.

SME is the sweet spot for me. I'm curious and stupid enough to look at working for a startup as well.

I have a deep allergy to red tape and bureaucracy.

@MattSpeller Everything on that list makes sense... Except the first one... The first item has me concerned for your safety.

Actually, you should be more concerned about your safety... that iron phallus has "Dafyre" etched on its side.

Keep telling yourself that big boy

TL;DR - Do your research before implementing stuff.

@Nic Indeed, and a terrible habit to have!

Stuff like this makes me glad we have (most) of our junk internal. So much trust to put in another company!

Edit: advantages to cloud are obvious, don't get me wrong.

Note to self: if ever drinking with SAM do not go 1 for 1

@scottalanmiller One point for me then.... Uhhh I mean one point in favour of clean installs, passionately taking sides in an argument like this is silly and unproductive and no one would ever ever do such a thing.

I'll devil's advocate on her behalf and attempt a point for the dark side: Upgrade is way faster and easier
