Her degrees are ECE and conservation so no.

So on one hand, yes. On the other hand, there are tasks that are onerous to non technicians.
If you asked me to do it manually, sure. I’ve interacted with a bunch of software, understand measurement systems, done some programming etc.
My wife on the other hand… There’s no overlap between ecology or life sciences in this task. Outside her ability.

Maybe support agent was being lazy, or ignorant.
The portal the agents use should be able to bring up internal info via keywords like “colour registration”

Yeah I think your inability to turn off notifications is artificial. There’s no reason that these emergency calls can’t go to a landline in a staffed hospital instead of directly to one specific doctor.
If the organization requires this, that’s different from it actually being impossible to do otherwise.
If your hospitals are businesses, you as their employee are subsidising them. They could spend the money on an additional, qualified doctor, but they won’t.

Not really any one, most sectors have office hours, schedules, on-call rotation etc.
It’s unusual to saddle a single person with 24/7 required availability. Do you not have a single colleague you can rotate after hours calls with?

- Comment on Solar panels are gratis in my region. But 10× normal prices to buy. What’s going on here? 3 weeks ago:
PV should only cost around ~€60, correct?
So yes, but the whole system requires labor and different accessories to set up. I’d assume 200$ each for mounting parts and labour and interconnect parts and labour. Do they charge separately for the switch to the grid and other things, or does that 850 per panel include the rest of the stuff?
It seems high, I would expect 4-6x the cost of an individual feature for turnkey projects, but then again I’m not in PV construction, I’m in security systems, and I’m in Canada not Europe.
- Comment on Man who lost $780 million in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the entire dump before city closes the site 3 weeks ago:
Landfill design is really interesting, and hard drives are very well sealed and aluminum. It would be sitting in a fairly well drained spot, if the seal was not perforated during compaction there’s a good chance the platters are readable.

- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
This is a question of, what agency do you have over your communications and what kind of communication would express a character trait of yours that you would like to be attributed to you.
If you have high agency, and using emojis expresses genuineness or what you would prefer to be expressed, go for it.
I swear in meetings, drink at lunches, and generally wear my feelings on my sleeve. This works for me because I have useful feedback on projects, clearly define choices effected by policy and what have you. I say those unsaid things, and either it’s novel contribution or it’s falling on the sword of the things people don’t want to say. This is fine for consultation. It does piss off colleagues when I just do what I want, to effect some result or uncover some relevant fact that I assume is required.
If you have low agency, and/or you feel that informal communications would be detrimental, find a communication strategy that lets you express some individuality, novelty in some other way.
