Updates tagged with lazynephew on Chirp!!lnxw48a1: Neither the nephew formerly known as #lazyNephew nor his younger brother #Papaya were present for that discussion, but they did get tablet computers in the mail that Summer. My recollection is that Papaya was staying with my mom for some sort of youth empowerment training, so I shipped his tablet to the house ... and despite "signature required", the UPS driver left it in the driveway. When he returned home, his brother suddenly contacted me to ask whether he was getting one. I had already planned on visiting Jeremiah (employee at the Best Buy store ... I made sure that every sale went through him ... they weren't on commission, but that doesn't mean they don't keep track of how productive an employee is) after work the next day.

In the current agency, he's not getting enough applicable hours ( he's working up to 60 hours per week, but most of those hours are doing tasks which don't count toward the license ). Meanwhile, his cousin ( formerly known as #lazyNephew ) was recently fired from his job. Also, his girlfriend broke up with him (but her mom and siblings like him, so he's still welcome to stay with them) and the apartment building has new management which is evicting everyone so they can renovate and raise the rates.

Now, when I tell the other nephew (ex #lazyNephew) about things he did at that age, he's immediately embarrassed.

Apparently browsing an unsecured SMB share led to the neighbor's porn being discovered by his wife. I can't say how much is true, but I did know about Steve's network.

(And of course, he's trying to figure out how to get disks for the NAS I sent him for his birthday.) A couple of years ago, I shipped him the parts to build a gaming PC (and a 2nd, lower spec PC for the kids). He's been gradually improving it ever since. I also sent almost identical parts to my nephew ( #lazyNephew ), who spent a lot of time grumbling about performance, and is just now starting to plot his parts upgrade plan. Sorry, I'm not a zillionaire. Even though I bought some pretty expensive stuff (to me ... just the GPU card costed more than pretty much any pre-assembled computer I've ever bought for myself), it wasn't top of the line "I made a million dollars streaming last year" stuff.

There were some occasional quality issues ... possibly because three of us were connecting from different rooms here. Added to whatever game #lazyNephew was playing, it may have saturated the connection. My oldest brother was unable to connect, but no one has followed up to try to figure out why. His granddaughter is his usual tech support, but she cannot go over right now. . Going to try this with my kids and grandkids, if we can ever schedule it, but we may continue our use of #Wire. I think the video and audio quality is better ... but we've only used 1:1 so far.
