National Techies Day 2024
 |
I formerly serviced notebooks in the mix but this is no more for the past 15 years or so. I have found that the two large hams at the end of my arms called "hands" really weren't optimal for this type of work and I diligently avoided the notebook as an art form — and a computer toward the waining years of my career on my way to this dreadful situation called retirement. BOR—ing.
I guess I figured that server and workstation configurations were all that are necessary. However, the end result was that proliferation of the notebook and tablet and worse; the smart phone was supplanting the desktop and tower configurations by and large. This is particularly true for low tech natives and invading foreign nationals who think they may do any manner of business from a smart phone on Starlink.
However, I maintain those things of internet in my posession now — but my personal service agenda does not include notebooks, tablets, nor phones. I avoid the smartphone for anything outside the realm of telephony or playing music while I am walking. As such, I am particularly averse to the 'droid' stupid phones by the assholes at google who think they rule the planet. Unfortunately, I do indeed have one.
Today is National Techies Day. It is observed on October 3 under the auspices of CNT Networks since 1999 in an effort to make known those opportunities younger people may pursue in the technology industry.
So yes, I don't really go for sub micro configurations because of my hand size. I likewise decline to be the bitch of idiots that do then break these devices in the manner I see all the time. If you can not use a particular device effectively you're better off staying away from it.
So happy National Techies Day. I'm afraid ITX mobos and cases are as small as I go these days. We all have a fit and that one is mine.
