We also had an issue with the docking station firmware. As soon as we updated that, things were much better. Would probably have to get IT to check for that though as well.
Hopefully one of those will work. Those are typically my go to options when the other things you’ve tried don’t work.

Yea, work laptop makes that a lot more fun… The docking station could be another sticking point. Sometimes they need to be power cycled. We probably get a ticket a week where that does the trick. Ours reset better if we unplug the power supply from the docking station instead of from the wall.

Parts though. The registry controls basically everything and changing things in the wrong spot can break a lot of things. I just like to double/triple check before touching things in there.

Rachel, if this is Windows10/11, I‘ve had good luck clearing the display cache to fix similar issues with external displays. This site has pretty straightforward instructions: droidwin.com/how-to-delet...

Marisa, I’m working on a proof of concept along these lines. The Indy Ski Pass has been good for independent ski areas. I believe that model can be adapted to independent journalism. Ghost and Beehiiv both offer good starting points for integrations. Id love to get your opinion on some ideas.

2nd what @viss.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy suggested with making a copy and then working on the copy. After that, I’ve had good luck with TestDisk and PhotoRec before. Setup can be a bit involved but the guides are pretty good.

I’ve been browsing some of their documentation lately. I haven’t used it yet but this is the guide they have for Patreon migrations. ghost.org/resources/pa...

Why are we arguing about who sent messages at what times instead of leading with the fact that NWS no longer had a “warning coordination meteorologist” because of Trump and Musk cuts. The person whose job it would be to provide context and coordinate with local agencies doesn’t work at NWS anymore.
