Judge Schnoopy posted:Shortcuts don't alphabetize themselves among folders. Both groups will assume the folder's been deleted anyway because nobody can be bothered to scroll down. Windows supports symlinks via the mklink command that get "treated" as a proper folder in most regards, allowing programs that wouldn't normally follow shortcuts to use them properly

Call came in about one of the MFPs. "I can't print, it's talking about jams and misfeeds, I hate this printer!! It's the worst machine ever!" "Um, to be honest you say that about every printer..." (and every PC and every mobile phone. "when am I getting a new one?!") "But this one is worse than the old one!" "That too.. anyway, will take a look." Rummage around troubleshooting while she's doing running commentary / complaints in my ear "it's going to fail again, you know. See, it failed again! What are you doing now? Don't you think it's just a bad printer?" Eventually after properly closing the doors that hadn't been slammed shut in anger properly, the errors settled on "misfeed in tray 5" Open tray 5... turns out that's where the petty cash box is hidden! She now really wants some way of disabling tray 5 so that it can resume its life as a (not very) safe.

Should have carted it away then and there as a faulty printer. Too bad the new printer has no petty cash inside anymore.

Did anyone get into this without first being a hobbyist of some sort? A bit old, but I started my career as a embedded Linux engineer because I was the only "Linux guy" my friend knew. At the time I didnt even know what a toolchain was.  (I did know what gcc was, just not what the entire package was called.)That was a decade ago, and thanks to him and his boss, I now have a great career. Yay nepotism!

Just bear in mind Enterprise SSDs != Desktop / Client SSDs. We get a lot of people using client SSDs in servers that are upset when they stop working after a few months.

GargleBlaster posted:Call came in about one of the MFPs. Here, what our derployees were doing was stacking extra paper into the copier trays, on the side that didn't feed/was open space for use when using LT-R/legal/ledger. Since the entire tray moved up to keep feeding paper, all of a sudden it didn't feed very well... (Part of this was because the large-capacity try at the bottom of the copier *was* a double-stack, and would shove over the second stack when the first was depleted... but goddamn if you could *teach* anyone that it was *only* that tray.  )

Everyone else would have had to get it first before they could even try to do that. It brought everything to a screeching halt by somehow overloading the 200Mb data center line as I heard over the call.

Yay! My WIndows Phone started permanently crashing on start-up for no reason all of a sudden. What fun: I get to do a hard reset, which would be a simple process except people in my organisation can no longer create a connection to our workplace as part of a phone set-up. Now I have a smart phone with no email (business essential), no contacts (business essential) or calendar (business essential) - but at least I can make calls on it. Go, Go, IT dept: this has been a critical issue for 6 months now.

A mini-clusterfuck came in; hosted VOIP shat itself and someone booked in a Salesforce consultant except they didn't tell me about it Except I wasn't even in the office today because I was out interviewing, lol  Man I want this job, it's basically what I already do sans the extra bullshit (Dashing of help desk, Windows infrastructure management, project work) with an actual IT dept, nevermind there's not much of a pay increase but I'd prefer to keep my sanity and leave this dumpster fire.
