Not sure where you're at Salem Techsperts, but I hope I made you proud. Friend of mine had spilled a ton of water on their laptop. I tore it apart yesterday and cleaned the mobo and internals with isopropyl and holy shit I got it working. Before and after shots. #TheGreatestTechnicianThatEverLived

@linusgsebastian.bsky.social @linusmediagroup.com Just watching the latest WAN show and hearing Linus' rent about Gmail and Google Workspace. Let me know if you need assistance with your GWS tenant and I'd be glad to help. I'm a (newly re-) certified Google Workspace Professional Administrator.

Bluesky peeps! I swear there was a @darknetdiaries.bsky.social episode about Q Anon and how it was all one guy on 4chan. I wanted to have my GF listen to it because she loves learning about cults. Am I remembering right? Was it Darknet Diaries? Or was a different podcast like Reply All?

I've been super busy this week, even though I took the week off. Happy to say I passed my #GoogleWorkspace Professional Administrator certification exam last weekend! I also had the opportunity to talk to some local high school students about my journey into #IT and how to stay safe online.

@steveboots.bsky.social I just finished doing a presentation about getting into IT and cybersecurity and how to stay safe online for a bunch of CALM students. How normal is it for them to be super quiet? I also included some demos in the presentation but there was no interest from them lol

On my first day in office as Federation President I will impose a 25% tariff on the Gamma Quadrant until they halt the flow of Ketracel White into the Alpha Quadrant. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #StarTrek

I'm an IT Professional but I actually went to acting school originally. On November 24, an amazing local Edmonton actor, Julien Arnold, passed away on stage while performing in "A Christmas Carol" at the Cotadel Theatre. Donations can be made below for his partner: gofund.me/1a2081ca #yeg

Uninstalled Threads today. I really tried but it just wasn't a good platform. Now it's only Bluesky and Reddit.

This is such a great idea. I hope something like this can be done for Canadian Politicians as well. @steveboots.bsky.social thought you would find this interesting.

The problem for Google is that Andreessen, Vance, Musk etc all sort of love this idea www.theverge.com/2024/11/20/2...
