It was weird to see an actual vacuum repairperson on Breaking Bad. I understand that that wasn’t their primary function, but it seems like in the modern world the front wouldn’t stand up or at least would be subject to extensive scrutiny.
Though not the most academic resource, the YouTubers How Ridiculous recently popped a CRT screen. Because of their video format, I’m having a bit of time identifying which one it was, but it might have been this:
When I’ve heard “tatty,” it’s been short for “tattered.” Like “threadbare.” However, as you said, from context I assume that’s not what’s meant here.
No worries, thanks for following up.
Well, one viable solution is to use a non-compatible remote, but at least my TV complains every time I press a button on one.
Thanks in advance!
That’s disappointing; I always thought the one thing they got right was the 98/XP interface that Cinnamon copied.
How did you do that?
I would be so happy if I could just disable the “magic mouse” (IIRC that’s what it’s called). I once talked to support for an unrelated reason and asked how to do that; they said the only way was to enable on screen narration.
Any time throughout the conversation I asked why those two things were connected, they dodged or outright ignored the question.
But there has to be a twist!
I guess it’s cool that Windows finally has an official package manager.
Noted, thanks!
Sort of, but it’s a stretch on my part. The premise of the movie is that some people have been hired to clean an abandoned psychiatric hospital and, well, some things go wrong.
At some point one of the cleaners finds the crematorium and collects various leftovers from it. That’s the extremely tenuous connection I was making.
Did winget replace chocolatey?
Did you ever watch Session 9?
That seems very likely. I guess my YouTube search skills aren’t what I thought they were. Thank you.
There’s a reason for them! I can’t find the original video I saw about it, but this one explains it pretty well:

I also like how sarcastic this person sounds (at least to me) during their sponsor segment.
edit: Removed the timestamp from the YouTube link.
At my first IT job (which was help desk/sysadmin), during onboarding I was told “it’s not okay to say ‘I don’t know’ unless you follow it up with ‘but I will find out.’”
My work gave me a Mac with this. I absolutely hated it - constantly triggering random things I didn’t want or need and apparently something about the wiring caused the physical keyboard to fail prematurely.
Fortunately we’ve moved on from those dark days. I still have to use a Mac, but at least there’s no touch bar.
