I remember about a decade ago, my IT manager, disabled the power button, hid the taskbar and pushed out a GPO of a BSOD wallpaper and included IT and management. No power button made the computers feel possessed.
@jenmsft.bsky.social I think you would enjoy this IT Story.

I was diagnosed with epilepsy today. I was released to drive again after 4 months seizure free under medication. But one seizure and/or med change and poof its gone again. Here's to a future seizure free, I hope.

Know what happens when you plug a USBC iPhone into a Dell Thunderbolt dock setup? Screen mirroring. Glad my "what does this do" nerd test could be shared with you fine people.

Instead of a traditional holiday break I’m going in for testing for my grand mal seizure I had in October. Hopefully they find something to explain it. I have been fine since, speech is still a bit slow, but almost 60 days out most side effects seem to be gone. See yall on the other side.

For those that don’t know. I had a grand mal seizure November 1st. 20 minutes long. I should not be here verbally, but I am by Grace from Above. I’m not even 60% verbal, talking is a struggle. But we are getting care at Stanford end of next month.

My System76 Launch keyboard is dead. So, ready for new options. I want wired, with one USB passthrough, preferably USBC passthrough. Budget around $150. Open to ideas.

Windows tip —
If you ever encounter a black screen, press WIN + CTRL + SHIFT + B

It is finished. After automation failed on 30% of my organization. I just finished the Windows 11 manual upgrade on the rest of the org. Many, many long nights into early mornings to get this done. 12 days before our Windows 10 cutoff.
