Me too, but I don't get an article written about me

Sorry, your insurance doesn't cover that, so it would have to be out of pocket.

Bring a cashier's check for $7,400 to lunch and we'll take care of the rest! ❤️

I threw it in as a gimme or as a backup if they go AMD.

My real intent is to aim for the seventh gen intel processor or higher, as the intel quicksync encoders are better on the seventh generation than they are in the sixth gen.

That can help with encryption of files and decoding encrypted files for something like an opnsense box or wireguard.

And who knows, they might want to play around with some local AI stuff or jellyfin in the future.

I would recommend going for at least an Intel 7th gen or failing that some sort of computer that has an Nvidia GPU, 1050ti or better.

Those will help as you go further down the line with allowing some CUDA and Intel acceleration features and only adds a couple of dollars to the total cost of the system.

My only concern is will they find somebody worse?

They asked me to do things instead of telling me to do things.

He was explicit about it. He said, I know I'm your boss, I can't just say go do this thing, but I have found I get better results and have happier co-workers when I ask you to do the things I need you to do instead of telling you to do the things I need you to do.

A specific example would be, instead of, "please clean the lobby", Saying, xwill you go clean the lobby for me, please?"

And it's one of those things that's really, really subtle and really minor. It only takes a small amount of adjustment in it in the way that you speak, and it yields excellent results.
