Switched to DuckDuckGo, because Google thought it would be nice, to ban the Proxy IP of our company (because you know, many requests) from searching and putting us behind these captcha monstrosities. I don't want to captcha myself out of every query I have for goddamn 2 minutes with slow ass fading images.

Turns out, I like their service even more.

Had a 5 hour call today, where we wanted to set up a system from one of our subcontractors in our own environment. Struggled forever to get the backend up and running.
Turns out that some dependencies were hardcoded as local file URLs...
No, our linux machine does not have C:\Users\<username> 🙄

Company notebook be like:

"1 program still needs to close"

"-----------------------------------"

"(waiting for) Microsoft Outlook"
"Outlook is shutting down"

"-----------------------------------"

"To close the program that is preventing Windows from shutting down, click Cancel, and then close the program"

"-----------------------------------"

FORCE SHUTDOWN, YOU MOFO!
