No tickets (Zendesk), no phone calls (Talkdesk), no shitposting (SA, Discord). The hell else are you supposed to do?

Like Sirotan, I was seriously considering just going home for the day and burning some vacation hours.

Woke up this morning to about 3x the normal number of overnight emails. Turns out every one of my deployment servers decided to report the outage, in triplicate.

Ugh, one of the triggers in the new error reporting system is for a service we don't give a gently caress about. It's now flapping...on all 38 servers. Every time it flaps, I get an email. From each server.

Apparently I wasn't shitposting early enough on SA because I didn't have issues.

I had a tiny dust plug once and the laptop started shutting down every 10 minutes until I fixed it. Also, obligatory "I don't know how that happened! I found it like that!"

I had a laptop come in smashed to bits, with practically every internal competent thrown into a ziplock bag. The customer would only say "My baby got to it!" and refused to give any more details. I asked her if she was sure her baby wasn't actually a grizzly bear in disguise and she, for some mysterious reason, got really offended. The best I can think of is that it got ran over by a car, but even then I wouldn't expect it to be in pieces like that. Maybe dropped from several stories up? The heat sink was bent in some way that I could never have hoped to replicate, and certainly couldn't have done it with a hammer.

I'd take a couple of PowerBook G4s from 2005 or so - they're the last PowerPC generation with the Johnny Ive industrial design before compromises set in (either from a design perspective, or from a hardware perspective).

An email came in...quote:Hi all, So we've been forced onto Teams from today and man, it's bad. It's so bad

It's kinder to never know Slack. I like Teams because I've not used Slack

# ? Jul 4, 2019 02:30 |
Yeah, about a a quarter of our org was using slack and were recently forced to use teams exclusively. It has not been a fun transition

I have used both and like both. That's a super lovely way to handle a product transition though.

GreenNight posted:https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/cloudflare-worldwide-outage-caused-by-bad-software-deployment/ User with that cracked hinge gets a pass. Laptops can be some really brittle piles of garbage these days; it's some poo poo That Pisses Me Off. I really hoped that economy of scale and the fact that they've had the same form factor for twenty years would have solved the problem even after they started making them for down-market sale but half the machines I see seem to be skating by on the expectation that you never actually, like, bring them anywhere. That Slack cancelation has me empathetically incensed, too. I haven't been saddled with Teams yet but I've had to use the outlook365 website and it blows. Everything is so big for the sake of touchacreens, so the information density is cut to a third, and some of their elementary composition choices seem like a backslide in immediate clarity compared to software from 1998. I'll learn whatever tool or technology anyone wants me to and comfortably endure the requisite stupid-rear end design decisions, but when it's one of those extremely basic, principal information portals and there's no room to customize or automate it to get my hands around it, then it just filters my whole world through a cognitive haze for eight hours a day. I don't know, maybe I'm low-key dyslexic or something.

Kyrosiris posted:I actually did something like that the first time I ever saw "kindly revert" in a ticket. I had just made a hardware change and they replied to me with "kindly revert on what has been done" and I thought the "on" was a typo or something, so I happily went and undid the hardware changes. They were furious, and got even more mad when I stated that they asked me to revert what had been done, and I did exactly that. I skipped ahead from Oct to this page, and you had just posted the exact same story. I was v confused
