I’ve had two different unihertz models, and neither of them could stay on any wifi, and both of them dropped calls like crazy. I contacted customer support, and they ‘offered’ to swap for another exact same phone, if I paid to ship both ways, and I didn’t mind having no phone for a month. Jelly 2, and Atom XL. The Atom was especially bad as it has a giant bloody antenna sticking out the top of it, and still no WiFi!
Avoid Unihertz.
Breakaway charge cable for my phone! They act like those old MagSafe chargers for Mac, and when I’m clumsy, instead of a busted off charge port, no damage! I also have curious cats who can test gravity without wrecking my phone.
Amazing! 16 years with Ubuntu, and now I know!
I thought that dogs were boys and cats were girls. No idea why.
Its funny, my niece made it to like 8 thinking that aunts were adults and uncles were kids. She had one young uncle, and me. Called me “Auntie Phanto.” I still haven’t lived it down.
Wait… Someone explain things to me!
He was the worst! Zuckerberg levels of pseudo-humanity. Of course, he got promoted up and away.
Ugh. There’s a book about how to be a better boss, and one of the things it says is that adding a mild curse to otherwise normal speech will convince people you are being sincere. My boss read it.
“Well, this damn job isn’t going to build itself!”
“Aw shit! Lunch is over! Back to work!”
It was so awful.
Commenting to register my interest.
I will confess that I was tempted to throw some snarky comment about Linux, but I got over the urge.
Mid Forties… 20 hour flight. Agony. No sleeping, got up a bunch of times, didn’t stop joint pain, back pain… Ugh. Some people can’t sit still for that long without issues.
I have dyndns, have since they were 10$ a year, and I’ve gradually realized that my ISP changes my IP on average less than once a year…

You mean I didn’t need to spend years and thousands of dollars learning Linux and servers? Oh man! Oh wait, I’m getting ads in Windows on the start menu. Yeah, I’m happy.
There’s a series of Lemmy posts called the Linux upskill challenge that goes step by step through setting up and using Linux. I tried self hosting and jumping straight in too, and it sucked.
What worked for me:
I’m still in the middle of 6+7. Not super comfy with Docker quite yet, but getting there. I really do love having my stuff self-hosted though. Well worth the effort.
I am literally on week 2 of my internship. Step 1: get past the automated screening system. Each job posting will have a list of keywords that had better be on your resume. So, if they say they are looking for someone with database experience, you need to have something like SQL, MariaDB, etc on your resume. My internship? They wanted deskside and remote support, so… “LogMeIn” “TeamViewer” “VNC” “Ticketing” “triage” “prioritization” “VPN”…
Also, my first five million resumes went out without me being on LinkedIn… Crickets. My first five million resumes went out with my name not appearing in my email address. I’m western Canada, but for some reason, if your name is Bob Smith, your email has to be bob.smith@mail.com, or crickets.
Is there a chance that the GPU is overheating? My (admittedly old) GTX970 had a fan that only spins up under load, and I got a wire stuck in one of the fans, and never noticed a problem until I tried VR. The load caused the fan to need to spin up, and it couldn’t, so BSoD.
Also, if you have room, a dual boot into Linux would tell you if the issue is windows or if it’s hardware.
Upvote that last comment. I’ve had a couple shares only accessible by IP on a file explorer app I was using, way back when.
Hmm… The nice thing is, I don’t use the remote. I have a little wireless keyboard plugged in to my Tiny PC… But yuck. I guess I’ll have to start tinfoil hat wearing soon.
I have a “smart” TV with a network cable plugged into nothing at all, with no wifi connected, plugged into an Oooold Lenovo Tiny PC running Mint. The Mint box does all my smarts. Pihole, ad-block, all that jazz. It never occurred to me that it might have connected to some open wifi out there, but none of my neighbors have guest wifi or anything, so hopefully I’m good. It’s definitely not on my wifi, anyways.
I’m old school, I wouldn’t spend a bunch on a liquid cooler unless I was going to overclock and do random high intensity stuff with it. I use a Noctua fan and never have issues, and I’ve got a chunky GPU in a pretty small case too. Still, fun setup! I hope you have a blast! Make sure the motherboard is flashed to the latest level for the CPU, or that you have a way to get that done, like a friend with an older CPU you can hijack for an afternoon. I had to do that with my first Ryzen. The store lent me an Athlon for a deposit.
Syrup. Affable. Eh?
