Alright so I got a USB hub that can pass through power as a replacement for my Thunderbolt dock as I suspect the Dock's USB hub was failing and surprise surprise I can't use the HDMI ports on it, not picked up by my laptop.

Oh also the laptop's own HDMI isn't working. Monitor seems to detect something for a split second and then signal lost

alright the new USB hub runs "usbconfig" instantly, but with the old Thunderbolt3 dock it would hang for 2 seconds sometimes. It must have been failing. That explains why I'd have issues with devices refusing to communicate through it properly sometimes without a power cycle of my laptop, even.

could that have also been a reason why I had some weird MacOS issues? That same USB hub in the dock was misbehaving and it was screwing with my Mac?

Who knows. What a weird issue though.

Windows 11 Tip. All of a sudden, my computer worked properly, but when I hit windows key + T, to go to the taskbar, I just landed on a start button and it said taskbar unavailable. This confused me, I had no idea what happened to the taskbar, and no idea how to get it back. Luckily Gemini helped me out, and my taskbar is back and everything is good again! So just in case this happens to anyone else, I thought I would share what I did to get it back. It seems that sometimes Windows Explorer clitches and this is one thing that can happen. To hopefully fix it, 1, hit control + shift + escape to bring up the task manager. 2, You should be on the processes tab and land in a list of all of the processes. Hit the end key to jump to the end of the list, then arrow up to Windows Explorer. 3, hit shift F10 for the context menu. 4, find Restart in the menu and hit enter. 5, This will totally restart Windows Explorer and all it controls, which one is the taskbar. That is it. The fresh restart of Windows Explorer should put everything back to normal again! Hope this helps. #Windows #Tip #Taskbar #Unavailable #Fix #TaskManager #WindowsExplorer

So here's a new fresh hell. Attempting to access seekingalpha.com. When I try to open the site, I get the following: "Before we continue... Press & Hold to confirm you are a human (and not a bot).". There's a button on the page that you apparently need to press and hold, using a mouse, because of course if you don't have the ability to use a mouse, then you're obviously not human. Is anyone else able to reproduce? #a11y

Speaking of unlabeled buttons, the voice recording buttons such as send or cancel, or also for recording a voice message on WhatsApp Desktop are no longer labeled as well. With each day I feel less and less interest in using this garbage. But bruh I already feel left out with not having Insta, and I'm still fighting with me to not get it back. I would be all for ditching WhatsApp. Though apparently I'm one of like 5 others in this country who even cares about it at all.

Welp, at this point I cannot justify spending $1000+ (again) to replaced the damaged rig to get back on HF #HamRadio - I have a cheap low power rig that gets me on 10m mobile. And I listen on other bands using various online SDR's.

The amount of mean right-wing bullshit I hear, almost every time I am on, is way too high for me to realize a return on my investment that comes close to a level of joy or satisfaction that's worth $1000. It's like Twitter/X. Stop telling people that they just need to turn the dial. That's bullshit.

A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that #hamradio is about conversing with other hams. It's definitely not. It's about making the electrons jump through hoops. Radio art stuff. Making a 15000km contact on 5w. Bouncing a signal off the moon to make a contact. If hams can do radio stuff without talking to anyone, they do- often. FT8 is a very good example. We are by and large asocial nerds who just want to do radio stuff.
