I built a new PC from the ground up a few year back. Every morning when I would sit down to start working I noticed it had rebooted around 6:30 am. I searched through every single log, ran all sorts of hardware scans, checked power outputs, dug through everything in Task Schedulers, and could not find a single reason it would keep rebooting. There were no Event Logs showing the reboot was initiated and no minidump files so it wasn’t a BSOD.

I woke up early one morning and sat in my office waiting for it to reboot and nothing. The next morning I go in my office at 8 and it had rebooted. Some mornings it would reboot and others it would not. I was convinced it had to be my power supply and was about to order a new one.

Then I came downstairs right at 6:30 one morning and caught my son walking out of my office. Turns out he was going into the office every morning and holding down the power button and forcing a reboot because liked watching all the RGB light turning all at once when it would turn on.

I don’t care what M$ says, Azure DevOps is being left for dead. As someone who worked on the System Center space for years, I know the signs of a product they want to kill but can’t. I’m convinced the only reason it is still around is because some internal teams haven’t moved to GitHub yet.

I worked at a pizza place in highschool and one of our delivery drivers was an elderly guy who drove your typical delivery driver beat up old Honda Civic type car. He was a super nice guy, but never talked much about himself. Then one day he shows up to work in a Maserati because apparently his Civic wouldn’t start. Turns out he was a crew member with freaking Jacques Cousteau and was very wealthy. He just delivered pizza for something to do and because he liked meeting new people.

He eventually sold the Maserati to one of my coworkers for a couple of thousand of dollars because it needed a new fuel pump and he didn’t feel like dealing with it. Yet, he kept that sun bleached Civic for as long as I worked there.
