MODERATORS
Building custom computers. Been doing it for close to 20 years. Servers, gaming rigs, rendering workstations, console builds, ultra budget scrap builds, custom water loops, done it all.
So what now, experience or skill?
I guess having strong opinions based on science, logic and empathy, if I have gathered enough evidence and knowledge about it and also being honest about not knowing enough about a topic to form an opinion on that topic. This should be the norm.
eBay Product/Shopping verification.
It seems people get fakes and knockoffs all the time, but I haven't.
All I do is look at the product pictures; if they're stock, I'll ignore, but if they aren't, and they are a tech product, DVD, etc., I'll cross-reference UPC/Barcode, SN, etc. with search engines.
Been using eBay since 2019.
Writing. I've written a lot of fiction under a lot of pen names, have had a few stories printed (which I won't link to for opsec reasons), and I have multiple unfinished books in-progress (and/or abandoned) on my google drive.
Other people are sometimes amazed by my language skills. I'm German, know English pretty well, and am learning japanese since about half a year. I'm not too sure, if how many languages/how good most people speak/understand.
I'm good at being optimistic and happy I would say. I'm also very calm and rational in situations many would find themselves angry or sad. One things that definitely helps is walking. It gives you time to think and appreciate your surroundings.
And of course, I'm good with computers. I have some servers I regularly do some new stuff with, and work in Cybersecurity (as student but hey you got to start somewhere)
