Buy him a subscription. Charge him $9.99 It's what he already expects you're doing apparently. Start charging your users for Facebook why not. Time for the IT department to start cashing in on people wasting company time. Start doing it before some CEO thinks of this.

Inspector_666 posted:Well one of the conspiracy theories was that Bitcoin was an NSA front to break encryption, so... Which is pretty dumb. If even half of the stuff that they're accused of doing W/R/T software security issues is true, they could make a botnet that makes Storm look like my home network. I could be wrong about their capabilities, or I could be wrong about the relative power of a botnet vs bitcoin mining. But in my minimally-educated opinion, it seems like the bot net would be in a different order of magnitude of processing over time.

Flipperwaldt posted:You're an idiot for not backing up poo poo like that. Seriously, six months, what the gently caress. I give one guess to figure out where the hole is in my backup strategy. Yes, I own my failure. And the only reason why I had data from six months ago is that I'd swapped the data drive in my volume for a larger drive and had not repurposed the old one yet, so it still had data on it from when I copied it over. Yeah. Now I'll be buying an external disk to plug in for backups.

Antioch posted:The National Post charges a subscription fee, you doofus. Snipping tool the screenshot > Draw big red circle around obvious message and arrow pointer > Send back with no text > "Hurr durr oh i understand now" I've crafted very specific error messages for when people don't fill out certain fields in forms etc, they are in red text and describe what went wrong and what you should do. Noooobody ever reads, if they call me I always ask them to repeat the error message then the penny drops.

I probably would have first researched that the paywall is real, that's actually a reasonable malware precaution to ensure that a normally free website isn't charging, the same goes for ads on websites that are normally ad-free getting ads.

So that user that stores his passwords in a text file that I mentioned earlier... phonecall came in. "I got this email from a client that says documents attached. I tried to open it but no matter how many times I click on it, the thing doesn't work" "God damnit, unplug your computer. I'm coming over" 3 Virus' removed from his system. Luckily no traces of a crypto variant that I can find (so far). Happy Friday.

They just have 3 computers in a workgroup and just buy computers from Best Buy when another one eats it. No idea if they have any sort of backup.

Can you just tell them that it's best practices, or do you have to find a way to explain how dangerous it is without calling your users idiots? "How about instead of having a security guard at the front door, we just give every employee a loaded handgun with the safety off, and permanently have it dangling from a chain around their neck. We will also give them no training in gun use, or even simple de-escalation strategies in conflict situations" Argument not valid in the USA.

Necklace carry is almost as bad as purse carry.

Not as easy to steal the gun off the necklace as it is to steal the purse, I would think. It's like a worse open carry, somehow. E: Depends on the length of the necklace now that I think about it

We monitor this guy's network connectivity to the internet by leasing them a Cisco 1721 that we can poll. This morning it went down, and called them to find out they're doing some recabling.

We run 5 sites with 2 IT people per site. 1 week in 5 on call covering everything for the bosses... This weekend I'm up and I get a call this fine Sunday morning My PC won't turn on -use another? That will be fine for me but the night staff have a critical spreadsheet on the desktop -does anyone else have a copy etc User alludes that it's a shortcut on the desktop (maybe... which would be better at least) -Ok can you locate the spreadsheet in its original location and during handover say to night staff 'click here there etc' No night people do a totally different job I dunno where or what it is -can you ask on site if someone knows where it is, surely it's easier for someone to say 'oh click there' rather than me disturb someone's weekend and send them to work? That won't work -Try!! 2 mins later they rang back, rather than talk to colleagues they rang their boss who demanded it just gets fixed. Partly because their IT guy is notoriously disliked and they probably just are being malicious by insisting he goes in I'm going to do everything I can to avoid that just because I'm a bigger twat.. Sigh
