What was the biggest problem that you have ever solved?

reading Sup Forums and not taking the easy way out

not an IT professional but here:

win 10 anniversary update 1607 something .. put the FUCKING notebook into a infinite update loop

no backups, no recovery

fixing it with the Win10 USB didn't work automatically or manually or switching out windows parts ...

ended up sticking in a ubuntu usb > copied all files > re-installed win 10 new

(months ago - it was that infamous update ... and not my notebook)

1st time ever i had to install win new instead of being able to fix it

I managed to figure out which one of your mom's flaps was her pussy.

Uninstalling adware physically

Modelling fluid mechanics in C++

Configuring an always up VPN tunnel between The US, China, AWS and Softlayer with Meraki routers. Something that isn't supported and according to AWS and documentation is impossible.

tell us more.

I singlehandedly installed screenfetch.

Restoring backups...

It wasn't as painless as I thought it would be.

Where to put the stickers on my thinkpad

I'm in the CCTV biz, and during the 90's and early 2000's, superchinko companies flooded the market with god-awful "PICO2000" DVR PCI cards that used proprietary software and a proprietary codec on Windows 98, that ensured if the system running it went under, so did all your videos. Shitty alarm companies bought this shit in bulk, and a lot of businesses (in LA at least) have this setup still, and it's usually some Prescott P4 shitbox

The first time I encountered one, the goal was to use the same BNC-based camera setup with a similar card, as a day of misery revealed that PICO2000 Broadcom-based capture cards used proprietary drivers that would only give you one channel in Blue Iris (the Mercedes of CCTV software) and other DVR software, so I found a 4-port BNC DVR card that was made to modernize ancient PICO2000 setups in the depths of Chinese eBay, charged the owners for a modern Celeron PC with a WD Red, and got all 4 cameras working on Blue Iris

I did this for an assload of businesses, and the company that did all these shitty DVR setups was called Alarm King, who appear to have changed their name to Security First Alarm King, so consider avoiding them if you have something to protect (you don't)

my virginity

so you did solve it?

When the Mavericks upgrade broke all print services on the entire campus, and before that when AirPrint packets clogged the intranet.

>PICO2000

Without doing any research, I bought once of that shit for $10 on ebay for my workplace (fucking management refused to buy us a new CCTV quad). We are using a goddamn 256MB RAM xpsp2 shitbox to monitor 4 locations.
I managed to find a """"""""""new""""""""" software called DICO-800 which is a bit less shitty.

got really fucked up on coke in Florida and got a whore off the street.

no regrets
