This morning's shower thought:

  • Spoon engine, T66 turbo with NOS, Motec exhaust

Slapping NOS on a forced-induction engine sounds like a really good way to grenade an engine. Danger to manifold!

This morning's incredibly bland #OfficeLife moment: instead of shutting down the laptop before leaving yesterday, I simply locked it. Logging in was so much faster this morning :love:

Weird Windows Protip: This is fine most of the time. If you PC runs like crap at any point, a Restart is in order. Not a shut down. They behave differently and a Restart cleans up some stuff.

Word. We've got so much corporate junk going on that cold starts take a few minutes before the PC's in a useable state. My usual morning routine is to log in and immediately go get coffee, since I can't do anything for 5 minutes anyway.

Love waiting for that sweet hard drive encryption to take its sweet ass time allowing me to authenticate.

Oh, you missed the window to put in your encryption key? Fuck you, I shut down and you can wait again.

Thankfully I'm not important enough to require encryption keys and such. Just painful to know that SSD pc's can be ready to go in 30 seconds, but I've got to go get a coffee here.

I’m in fintech - even our admin laptops are encrypted.

Here’s the wild shit - when I had a company issued desktop they didn’t encrypt it b/c “nobody can just grab a desktop” - but they didn’t lock the case - so somebody could just walk in, pop the case and yank the drive…

that's a serious level of doubt of dedication of some individuals

I know someone who made off with a rackmount server

i usually restart my pc once a week as im leaving for a night
the wise move. Or I'll restart for updates occasionally/when everything gets slow because of a memory leak somewhere
