Arrived at my day job and by 9:45, I've dealt with two totally unrelated tech problems. A website for a freelance client of mine needed tweaking. And my wife's job's office UPS was dead and needed reviving. Never a dull moment.

I don't want to say this too loudly but Apple may have fixed the MacOS Calendar-not-showing-some-Exchange-events issue. I'm seeing all my events and Bookings entries now. #sequoia #techsupportlife

Never use a variable name that you that you wouldn’t want the entire world to see. One day, your code will throw an error and there it will be, "iHateMyFrackingBossToday."

🧠 Pro tip from WMS 972:
“Don’t tell me there’s a streaming issue unless 3 people say the same thing.”

Because otherwise… it’s probably their Smart TV 🤷‍♂️

Apple's new USB-C Magic Mouse REQUIRES MacOS 15.x in order to activate the scrolling gestures. Otherwise it doesn't recognize it as a Magic Mouse.

50% of cybersecurity is endlessly explaining that consumer VPNs don’t address any real cybersecurity issues. They are basically only useful for bypassing geofences and making money telling people they need to buy a VPN

Everything becomes a black box to people at some level. Finding out where a user's threshold is will give you a huge insight on how they understand the technology they are using ant you are trying to explain and fix.

Always listen to what a caller means and not what they say. Getting lost in the details and semantics of their words will get you nowhere slow.

Hold down the Control key while taking a screenshot on a Mac to send it directly to the clipboard. (Ctrl-Cmd-Shift 3 or Ctrl-Cmd-Shift-4)

This is MUCH MORE helpful than I ever though it would be.
