I've never liked reading fiction.

I read plenty of technical stuff in my job.

There is plenty of interesting stuff on YouTube, depends on what your interests are. I like mechanical engineering videos, electronics and vintage computer stuff.

Maybe you just haven't found the right channels?

i dont really like going on social media. i used to use twitter a lot, but then i realised i was just being an arsehole for no reason lol. i said something that could have had real world conseqences. i banned myself for a long time after that and when i started i just followed the news. am fed up having the same internet debates long ago. lol and ive yet to ever see anyone change their opinion.

so i dont really have a clue. isnt the internet only useful if you want to know something? i mean using like this not streaming

i do like all this computer kind of technology kind of thing, probably aiming too high at the start it frustrates the hell out of me.

I've been putting off ~4 installations from scratch for months. New HDDs lying around and all sorts . Hate having to do it...

Have you had a look at any of the vintage computer stuff on YT? Some good channels review old machines, consoles, games etc. Quite interesting and you learn where today's computers came from.

Taking your time is the key, making sure you read all the instructions and just progress through it.

do people come to you with a problem then you have to come up with something electronicy to solve it. do you make the components and stuff

Yes, we have project managers that ask for certain features or upgrades. The designs have to pass a lot of tests too, the final ones being done by an external company.

So it's constant problems and hopefully, problem solving .

am not really good under pressure and deadlines like you probably have , am a constant checker have drove 20 miles to check a bed room door was closed. i refused to accept any kind of responsibility in work everything had to be checked i couldnt put keys through a letter box without sitting there for hours waiting for the owners to get home. i wasnt well but i had plenty of work on my own time

i would like to learn more about computery things but i need it explained like your explaining to a 5 year old lol

 

[joeblaze]

i cant seem to give 1 thing my whole attention so am thinking of about 4 or 5 different things and usually none of it works lol am gonna chill out with the posts

 

[willin]

Yes mate, I was into snooker/pool when I was a bit younger, I actually became quite good until about the 3rd pint - I then went all to POT (pun intended).

Try this for something to do Side by side georeferenced maps viewer - Map images - National Library of Scotland
Zoom in to anywhere in the country, drag around holding down your left mouse button, you can also change the map with the drop down box - top left.
You'll be amazed at what was in and around your area 100 plus years ago.

Forgot to add, then and now is where your mouse pointer is on each map.
