Larches, did the audio on your old station ever randomly go all weird and echo-y, like it was in reverb hell because the wrong mike feed was going? Because I think I found your station, and I'm going to be watching this on Monday.

How about we stop creeping on the golden child of this thread and just enjoy the stories as they come in? The second somebody fucks this up and mentions the station larches will stop posting and the fun is over.

I can't wait until tomorrow when CE notices Larches isn't there, no work is done, his voicemail is backed up with super duper extra pissed messages because he has nobody to pawn off to, and the GM calls back for consulting or tries hiring Larches back. In that vein - Larches, did you do any kind of mail forwarding before you left? I'd love to see the emails that come in from everything that breaks, now that you're out of there.

He's got people on the inside. No need to gently caress this up and leave a mail forwarder to your Gmail account in place. Please save your voicemails though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4R8Y4XSGMk

Sadly, I was never allowed any access to email administration. That's strictly CE's deal. He obsessively deletes email accounts of ex employees mere minutes after their final day ends. Mine is still active. Let's see how long it stays active. I have set the ticket system to forward all tickets to a neutral email address. CE has no idea how Spiceworks functions, so I'll be getting tickets FOREVER PROBABLY. Regardless, the admin account is generic as poo poo, and he'll never change those credentials without having to set up Spiceworks over again from scratch, so I can always log in to check things out. However, this is all contingent on CE keeping Spiceworks running, and he was never a fan of it. He'll probably pull the plug the minute he realizes I'm well and truly gone.

We need an emoticon resembling this for when people escape a terrible job and are preparing to watch the place burn without them: Until last weekend I hadn't caught up on this thread since April but events reminded me of it so I've been binging the saga of larchesandrew Netflix-style all week. Last Saturday morning: My dad calls, asking if I'll come over and look at his laptop, which isn't connecting to his wifi for whatever reason. He is generally a decent person to fix stuff for and ordinarily I would, but my car is down for repairs so I couldn't do it. He then offered to come get me, put me up for the night (as it's far enough to not want to drive twice in a day), and take me back home afterwards. Having no other plans, free food and hanging out with him watching football sounded like a pretty good offer, so I did it. Who wants to guess what the issue was that he drove 120 miles to get fixed? wifi switch The lamp in his screen has also long since died so he either uses the laptop plugged into a VGA monitor, (via a cable his dog jumped on hard enough to partially unseat the solder, so it's all tinted green) or he just does this:  The screen works and is readable, but drat.

I looked up parts for the thing. There's like a billion variants of that model (it's an hp g31 I think) and I don't know which exact screen I'd need, or if the lamp itself is available. The screens seem to generally run about $75 but when I showed him that he insists he's fine with the current setup  Apparently the screens frying in this exact manner is a common issue with this model.

Javid posted:Apparently the screens frying in this exact manner is a common issue with this model. The good thing about HP/Compaq or Dell laptops: the service manuals are available, accurate and useful. You can in fact work on these boxes!* The bad thing: you will need to. I was so, so glad that when HP bought Compaq they just adopted Compaq's entire PC line and threw theirs out the window. Got my finger near-ringbarked by loving HP Kayaks way too often (any times at all). Compaq OTOH showed the clear influence of DEC hardware engineers - opening a PC and seeing a "no screwdrivers needed" logo never got old. * the only such boxes I found impossible to work on were the Dell netbooks (Mini 9, Mini 10 series). Those things were goddamn insane miracles of miniaturisation with lovely componentry. I realise the literal point of netbooks was to assemble the cheapest possible thing you could still call a "PC", but drat.

Larches, have you had any further opportunities to remind the GM and others about your idea to split engineering and IT? Edit: Ticket came in: "Ohhellohgod is our email system stable? (Partner) claims they didn't get (specific email) two weeks ago. " [Investigates a bit] Ticket closed: user saved to drafts two weeks ago and re-sent it this morning properly without telling his superiors what happened, letting them implicitly believe it was an email infrastructure issue.

I've seen WAY too many instances of two of the exact same model laptop having different screens.
