See: here? This is a fan.

Switch to Touchpad? Get real. Or switch back to apple. You dumb removed

So go on youtube more. I didn’t like your face and imo you stay a dumbass. You never meet real people. Because our shit is green or purple. Yours ain’t even white.

Holy shit. This is the genius board👍 how to install debian on a system that doesn’like it. This is the story of my LIFE. 👍👍👍

No wonder they dropped you. No wonder persons will drop you. You are a lot more liability than asset. But still can’t follow. I know. For assets like you i got a special friend. Her name is Jennifer. They’ll help. Her emotional iq is like 160. But looking hard? For me you rise trust concerns that even jennifer couldn’t help. She is into linguistics while i just am truthful. Nonetheless we did latin and greek. TOGETHER. So go on. You think there is any purple women without a purple bf? Ever? I mean like if i let you touch her:you think i got problems eliminating you? My best friend is just like i am. The difference then is that spraying water is a lot of fun. Spraying fire ain’t or is it?

That is the true purple curse. Knowing people and still no burning them. Because they are smart, as am i. They only differ in color. They are mostly green. I still am purple.

I even like them mostly.

Truly secure systems: i like that one.

Frontend girl. These are the kind of persons you NEVER should trust.

What valuable knowledge college gave you? Exactly?

I regard job as relative here, because i have two other ways earning my bread that no one will take away from me. Forgive me that, please. I close in on my forties now and surely i never go back into corporate IT.

My first job in corporate IT i landed by just being witty with keyboards in other languages. I had to use a Spanish keyboard to do some Java (no shit: this was 2014) in a notepad on windows because i applied for a windows migration team only taking hard tickets (at least it was pitched in this way to me).

At this point in my life i really no idea about windows any more because i migrated away from that about ten years before that.

But i knew Dvorak. So i did their bs task of programming traffic lights in Java (which basically is first semester for anyone they ever tormented with this fucked up language but nonetheless a hassle on a keyboard you are not used to) and then started rearranging my given keyboard into Dvorak just because i was frustrated and done with their test.

Then they asked, then we talked then they saw my vim, emacs and laptop and hired me.

The point here is: Either you are a sheep or you do it your way from the start. They tried to keep me as an contractor when they moved all my colleagues to another country. They even offered a retainer as a private contractor when i consequently quit then.

TL;DR: Imo corporate environment is all about attitude. Just realize the truth: Most people trying to press you can’t even calculate the Eigenvectors of a 4x4 matrix.

So you can be their slave for their boring lives or you can communicate from the start you won’t be. With actions. Simple actions.

If they press you then even more you weren’t in the right place in the first place. Correct your aim. You can, because your talent is valuable.

They can’t.

That is why they project their slave attitude on you. Simple as that it is.

Last but not least: You yourself are basically never wrong (regarding yourself). You just feel pressed by their bs. Which is normal. Because you did something serious. But people in HR of big companies did quit before they even knew there could be problems. That is why they took they easy door of bypassing math e.g.

Just watch any StarTrek if you can’t follow. In StarTrek nobody listens to HR, as it should be imo. Life is a trip.

Your trip has you as an Engineer. What the fuck more to you expect from a trip ?

harlander.com. I trust these guys. In fact every piece of hardware i privately bought in the last ten years is from them.

New you won’t find there. But they are professionals and their prices imo are quite fair.

But a small caveat they have: If you search for a certain piece of equipment you sometimes have to have patience with them. If the item qualifies itself as an investment because that is my criterion when buying from them.

If their portfolio doesn’t suit your needs just ignore this comment.

Laptops with 3g SIM slots that run with your fav distro. Sadly they are deactivating umts in Europe and since i’m quite slow reading into new hardware, i mostly use public wlan and <2015 laptops myself.

A library card is not much above 10 € per city per year in the cities i have one.

Cash still is the best option. I support this argument because everything else leaves a data-trail.

Imo it depends on the sum and level of trust. If you trust your business partners cash surely is the best options. Though i wouldn’t go through mail because then you got a security / insurance problem without need for it.

I also support debit cards because i use them myself but only for smaller things.

Otherwise if the sums exceed four figures: Palladium, Osmium, Iridium come to mind.
