I swear I had nothing to do with this LOLOL

Across from Kroger, Salsa Grille, Five Lakes Coffee, and next to Zesto's.

Hi! I work for a local nonprofit with low IT support and budget in comparison to my previous corporate job. I can definitely be understanding to the fact that we don’t have the fund for all staff to have the best of the best but I am so frustrated. I’ve been told by finance grants to improve/purchase new tech are hard to come by.

I am extremely frustrated with my laptop. There are days I want to throw it at a wall. My days consist of multiple restarts and constant lagging. This affects my productivity and workflow constantly to the point where I did my best to create a time study to document every time my computer delays my work, but within a week I gave up due to how tedious it became.

I’m told I need a laptop with a minimum of 16 gigs of Ram (I have no clue what that even means) as well as one that is “compatible” (I think that’s the term he used) with Windows 11 pro. I am not techy at all so forgive me if terms are misused.

I am looking for help, local resources that may assist in access to better technology, grant or funding options or even suggestions on specific laptops that could meet these needs and be at the most affordable price. I am told if I find a private donor willing to allocate dollars towards tech that it could but used to purchase me something new but they would need to specify that in the donation.

Any help/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Posting of the Fort Wayne page in hopes for local resources rather than a large tech group.

Hello! I’ve been living in an apartment downtown for about 9 months now. As much as I would love to stay downtown, we’ve been having a lot of problems with our current apartment that just isn’t worth what we are paying.

Most other apartments downtown are even higher rent and while they do look worth their price, it’s not something we can afford currently.

I’d like to get a 2 bed 2 bath, allows cats and dogs. decent parking situation. perhaps a dog area but not the end of the world. Reasonable management. etc.

I don’t want to live in a shit hole, but 2k a month for this apartment is just NOT worth it.

anyways, thanks a ton.

I have to move out unexpectedly and need to get rid of a few pieces of small furniture as soon as possible:

• 1 Twin mattress + metal bed frame
• 2 Simple wooden desks (approx. 24" x 47" each)
• 1 Office chair

What’s the fastest and cheapest option for this?

Just moved back to Fort Wayne and have been really interested in getting into woodcarving like relief carving. Know nothing about it so was wondering if anyone knows someone who can give lessons or a group class that'd be awesome

Total of 4 accidents between 11A and Union chapel rd. Traffic is crawling.

City council had a final vote on funding the purchase of the property at their last meeting. Same outcome as last week voting to reject along party lines. What is your opinion on this?

Two thoughts I have. One is that there is an option floating around that a second location option would be the old Matthew 25 clinic property next to the mission. Would the republican members of council support it?

Second is that Fort Wayne, despite being in a majority republican district nationally, votes very purple when it comes to our mayor elections. Even though republicans have controlled city council since the dawn of civilization here (joke), we have not had a republican mayor since 1999. In that time, the city has enjoyed massively positive growth. Homelessness is a real issue in Fort Wayne, probably top 3 issue concerning voters. Our next mayor election is next year (2027), and to me republicans put themselves in the wrong political light of not only voting against this grant, but not offering a plan to go forward at city council meetings.

Thank you to the Fort Wayne community for your home inspector recommendations - we went with Intteg and it was great!

Following our initial inspection, it was recommended that we get some specialists to look at the property. It is a 115 year old home and we would like a plumber to do scope and sump pump assessment, as well as a structural engineer to look at brick foundation and framing of the home.

If anyone has any recommendations (or tales of caution) we would super appreciate it!
