According to my googling, they may be by Li-Anne Dias? But the artist’s website is so bad you’re better off reading the comics when they’re reposted elsewhere

I’ve been on both sides of it. One of my favorite IT moments was changing to a new phone. I couldn’t access my email until I did a two factor auth process. Of course they emailed me my code to access my account to unlock my email. Good thing I also had a pc at home with access to my email.
Then I was supporting a lab. One woman was clearly aggravated when she called. She said no matter what she did her screen was blank. I head right over and just look at it for a few secs. I check the lowest hanging fruit solution first and see the power light on her monitor isn’t on. I see it is unplugged, plug her monitor in and problem solved. I’ve never seen a more embarrassed person than her. lol
Networking has to be the most thankless job in IT. You are invisible when the system is working, which is 99% of the time. It stays up like that because they are monitoring it and maintaining it behind the scenes. When it fails though the failure can be catastrophic for everyone, we literally cannot do any work without it. Then everyone’s eyes, and criticism, is on them.
At one point in a former life, I was one of the trainers for the incoming helpdesk technicians. One of the practical exams we put them through involved us doing creative things to fuck with their computers before they came to class, and then having them figure out what was wrong and how to fix it. Plugging the mouse from one computer into its neighbor’s USB port and vice versa was one of my favorite tricks. For whatever reason, it had a 100% success rate in effectively fucking with them.

First person to figure out how to download and install the unifying software and re-pair their mouse without using it gets a bonus.
But most people nowadays are lost without mice so they’d probably cycle through all the dongles on the laptop plugged into the projector and all move their mice until they figure out which is whose.
Historical landmarks, scattered across the globe, are tangible echoes of the past, serving as silent witnesses to the unfolding narratives of civilizations. From the grandeur of the Pyramids of Giza to the iconic symbolism of the Eiffel Tower, these landmarks stand as testaments to human ingenuity, creativity, and endurance. Each stone, arch, or tower tells a story—a narrative etched into the very fabric of its existence.
Whether it’s the ancient marvels like the Great Wall of China or the modern architectural wonders like the Burj Khalifa, historical landmarks serve as bridges between different eras, connecting us to our roots and reminding us of the diverse and often intricate tapestry of human history. Visiting these sites is akin to stepping into a time machine, allowing us to witness the footsteps of our ancestors and appreciate the cultural, technological, and artistic milestones that have shaped our world. In the shadows of these landmarks, we find not just physical structures but also the collective memory of humanity, eternally preserved in the stone and mortar of these enduring monuments.
