oh
the mounting plate for my 60% custom keyboard is already in the US, should be here in a few days.
in other news
just got a free cash register because a local guy had it for recycling so. also had to take a printer but meh
the thing supposedly works but will have to see after i clean it up and all that
they go for like $200ish so not a bad pickup
also half tempted to see if I canāt get one of the Accelero coolers from my dad and strap that thing to the 390X and see if temps improve. will see.

While my tablet seems to be a bit sensitive about whatās between it and the AP, the speeds are nothing to sneeze at. On par with my desktopās LAN connection and the ISPās advertised speeds.
For future purchases of tablets and phones Iāll settle for the higher onboard storage. Manufacturers really bloat their devices unless itās a Google device or from someone who ships them with only a few of their own apps (like my Moto G 2015).
~7GB were available of the 16GB. Custom ROM might have its place in the future.

Writing Corner:
Fantasy Story - I reached the point where Iāll do a break to indicate a passage of time in the chapter. Iām on page 20 of the story and page 5/6 [Itās one of those numbers] for chapter 2.
Practice Story Judge Night - Work on PROG 2 is going well. Iāll be doing some formatting stuff on the thread I made for posting when I finish PROG 2 which will be Thursday. TOC and Headings will be added. Kinda like a wiki or guide except itās fiction.
Samās Wasteland Within - Iāll be working on that today.
How is the new position:
No documentation or reference material. So Iām making my own documentation cause I want to do my job right and if I have a question, I just want to refer to my easy to follow documentation. 1st day not great for me but itās partly due to all of my question on how to do what I need to do. I didnāt even finish what I started because hardware and software issues. Iām about 75 percent what I did was right.
TLDR: Wolfleben is busy and making his own documentation for his job.

oh for fucks sakes
guy let me know that only the slots on the left work and not on the right
so it was damaged by USPS
ā¦
well, at least i know what happened now. will give the guy the refund on the board.
That should be his business with USPS.
what can i do though i meanā¦ if he still wants the refund I understand and will do so. I canāt really control for USPS being a dick but itās not like I can replace or repair the board so itās close enough
this is annoying. I think i did add extra insurance on the package though soā¦ will see if the guy still wants a refund and go from there
in any case at least it wasnāt my faultā¦ and I packaged it very well so USPS must have really fucked it up to break the thing
Thus it shouldnāt be your responsibility.
When I order something from Amazon and the package gets damaged during shipping I feel bad for customer support cause they apologize on behalf of the shipping company. Amazon didnāt fuck up, the shipping company did, so Amazon has no obligation or reason to apologize. Instead they should take take the complaint to the shipping company and chew them out (mostly because as a big company theyāll probably have more leverage than some person, and I know how my local postal service handles complaints -> āyeah, Iāll forward itā hangs up and does nothing).

to be fair amazon really pushes the shipping companies to the limits

i donāt really know honestlyā¦ argument can be made either way. I lean towards helping the people though, to build a good rep on hardware swap/ebay/ etc. though ebay is whatever but still
i mean the fact that it broke really sucks and i understand the position the guy is in so i wouldnāt be mad if he still wants the refund
it sucks that i have to pay him back (if he goes with that route) but if not the insurance should be more than enough to replace it or at least get better ram for the system heās using so?

Yeah, thatās another side of it. I feel for the guys and gals delivering more packages than they should cause shortstaffed but donāt get paid more. Theyāre bound to get frustrated and start to care less.
But by doing their own delivery (at least in some regions) Amazon takes business away from those companies. Not the ideal solution.
Doesnāt mean you have to get the short end of the stick and suck it up for a good rep.
That should be the way - IMO. Get USPS to pay for the damage THEY caused.
