Is there any way to have your computer not fall asleep? I don’t want my Skype status to go to “away”. I already have my Skype settings and computer settings to never go to sleep, but it does anyways.

WiebeTech Mouse Jiggler MJ-1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000O3S0PK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.uQeCb8733M8B

Just buy this

Don't buy anything, just get a macro program like auto hotkey to move your cursor every 90 seconds so you can catch up on your Netflix binges.

Kidding aside, I have had the unfortunate experience to be "managed" based on my Skype status, not my deliverables. So OP could be in the same position.

Open any PowerPoint on presentation mode, and you can put that in the background 👌

All you have to do, is open a 24 hour YouTube video and hit play. Since that is “active” it won’t sleep

Make sure you're modifying/enabling the correct power settings.

If you put it on “busy” it won’t change it to “away” every 10 mins

Puts you on “inactive” tho doesn’t it?

Hi Team,

I have cleared all the interview rounds (WebEx & HR on call) for the position: VERIFIER, and also submitted documents (authentic as per my knowledge) for background verification on Aug. 25, 2022.

How much time usually ICICI bank takes to generate Offer Letter, after all the verification process??

As things start to open up fully, some of my institutional clients are sending notices that we are expected to do X activity over zoom from here on out (things we used to do in person). Clearly it’s a cost cutting measure. Anyone else feel like filing for telephonic appearance so the insurance company can save a buck isn’t going to sit well with judges who prefer in person attendance? I hope they deny all of them so my billables don’t suffer. Less travel = more desk bs I have to do to hit quota
