And what was he doing for decades PRIOR to that which possibly gave him the experience and skills........

The Rock, Jack Black, some woman Hollywood considers sexy, and Kevin Hart obnoxiously screaming as loud as possible "you gonna die of dysentery!!!!!"

Now, conversely, if you work in support, please ACTUALLY FUCKING LISTEN TO ME when I am telling you I've already done that 17 different ways, along with tons of other troubleshooting and isolating and I'm not a technical moron and I tried every possibility to avoid calling you so can we PLEASE SKIP THE USUAL BULLSHIT SUGGESTIONS?!?!?!?!

These answers reek of superiority complex. These are less "educating" others and more that so many of you have decided something specific is a big deal to you and in a proselytizing fashion you preach to others and when they don't give a shit or perhaps just dont have the emotional capacity to ALSO care about the thing you brought up, you take that as ignorance, when really it's just some people don't feel like caring that much about that specific concern you decided is uber important.

People aren't built to endless worry about every little horrible problem surrounding them and the world every fucking day.

Also, this whole forum feels like overreaction too. Just because "some" people didn't care for your input doesn't mean all didn't, but a lot of people overreact online. It's coupled with the usual "am I the only one who..." kind of crap. No. You aren't. You aren't the only genius who understands the world is shit and we're fucked.

You'll get a lot further when you realize hiring managers also are lost and most listings are bullshit. And I mean they probably don't even intend for it to be bullshit but that's what corporatizing everything results in. Apply to stuff you only mostly fit. Don't look for complete fit or ability to check every box. So many interviews and jobs wind up not being exactly as advertised. If you read it as literal, you'll ace out tons of potential jobs that might have been just fine for you.

I have also had some success through my career emphasizing (with actual stories) how I know how to learn from others and on my own. So it's okay that I don't know every little thing, and then point to my past examples of adapting to unknown or unclear situations where I had to learn on the job.

Also people are very impressed by factual stories. Numbers, or specific details, etc. that give them the impression you aren't lying. Tell about times when you actually did a thing. Not how you are able to, but give an example of a problem and how you overcame. Even from school projects, team projects, thesis work. Anything.

Ignore it all in the first place.

That's no reason to throw punctuation and basic readability out the fucking window.

Oh boy. You should see PS Vita cards. Switch cards seem huge by comparison.

In my experience, most stick drift seems to be fixed by taking it apart and dousing that cube piece with rubbing alcohol. Bonus points if you gently pop off the two plastic sides and really get up in there. Put it all back together carefully and there you go. It's so often dust or some other kind of dirtiness. Have done this a dozen times over 10 years across varying controllers of all consoles. Latest one I did was a knockoff switch controller and took me about 5 minutes cause it was a ridiculously simple controller. Have done it to many Playstation controllers.

There are countless videos online showing how to.
