It appears that they rolled in the enterprise rollup patch from last year into this months. As they mandated when they moved 08\win7 to a single monthly patch they're going back and eventually adding old patches in https://www.infoworld.com/article/3128983/microsoft-windows/how-to-prepare-for-the-windows-781-patchocalypse.html quote:Microsoft will gradually add older patches to the Monthly Rollup. For now, don’t expect to see a big bunch of patches in the Monthly Rollup, but realize Microsoft is working in that direction. This is why vmware network cards are breaking for the first time for many. Also wsus visualized: https://imgur.com/a/CuRDq incoherent fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Mar 16, 2018 |

A ticket came in . . . to the wrong company. To give a little background: A few years ago, we sold our centers in State A to another company, but we still provide managed services for those centers. We get a call from the other company, very confused. It turns out that the center in State B (the same special folk who spent $175 to have someone come out to unplug a power cable) was having fax issues. Did they call us? No. Instead, they sent an email to the other company. Did I mention that the other company is only in State A and does nothing for the center in State B? We don't understand why they did this.

I just had an issue of incorrectly transferred FSMO roles- PDC emulator and domain naming master were accidentally left on a decommissioned DC. Which is strange, because, while I have the vague recollection of transferring them, my coworker is 100% sure I transferred them correctly. Well, not a big deal, I seized them, everything is fine. The funny thing is, I was troubleshooting AAD password sync issue (which I now know the root cause for), and then was explaining to him how to use various tools to troubleshoot dirsync issues. At that moment he asks me something about proxyAddresses attribute, and I go to start active directory users and computers, but I misclicked and started Active Directory Domains and Trusts, and it threw out error that PDC emulator is unreachable  .Thank you, fat finger misclick.

Unless you’re actually putting them at the end of dark fibre runs you’ll need to attenuate the signal to avoid cooking the Rx side of those.

A few years back I helped a certain video editing software/hardware company when they moved offices and discovered they had a shitload of high end parts and equipment around that was still very valuable but was not needed/useful for any of the hardware they currently built. In the process of helping them sell that stuff, we figured out they had easily several hundred thousand dollars across all this poo poo that simply hadn't been tracked and was laying around. Some of it was even stuff from back when the company was founded, but was still quite valuable and interested buyers were easy to find for it. And none of it would have ever come back if they'd not moved out of their old office floor .

SEKCobra posted:camera lenses don't, so I'm assuming it was more that kinda stuff. There was a lot of that (there was basically enough spare/previously unaccounted for actual film/video camera equipment around to outfit a respectable small time studio). But there were also things like high end RAID controllers that were sold off for nearly $1000 each (and there were a ton of them, apparently they had ordered a bunch with plans to use them in the next server product line but the plans fell through for going into production with that), there was a lot of specialized analog and digital video interfacing hardware since one of the main lines of business there was to handle running TV station stuff and simplify access to archived footage (as well as get old analog archives transferred over to the digital storage in a high quality manner). Things like all their spare populated motherboards and stuff usually wasn't worth much, except the very latest parts that had been used as prototypes for planned products but not used for their full production, of course.

We've got at least 10 of each of these doing absolutely nothing. Every once in a while I find them floating around in the wild. We spent a small fortune to procure them, only to find out that we couldn't get them working so we bought different modules.  Oh well?

We have so much spare crap floating around in our DC we began measuring it not by counting the units, but by weighing boxes. At one point we like 40lb of SSD and 10lb of 8gb ram sticks. Also a hilarious amount of 10g sfp modules, and at least a few ridiculous copper 3 meter QSFP -> 4 SFP splitter things that you can't even use because it uses so much electricity it gets too hot for whatever its plugged into.

Yeah getting rid of it ASAP is vital. It depreciates so quickly because the market for second-user enterprise gear is basically really tight companies and people doing home labs, or crazy people who want a NAS and think they need half a rack of PowerVault stuff. If you sit on it even for a year then you're basically getting its weight in scrap. We have a room full of Xserves  . A few years ago we could have made OK money by selling them to people who weren't paying enough attention to see Apple giving up on that market, but now they're pretty much worthless unless you manage to find the one person who has built their entire business around having a working Mac OS 10.6 server.

I can't believe I'm going to turn down a job offer because the team I'd be working on is full of tech bros. I met them in the interview and I couldn't get the idea out of my head that everyone has drank soylent at some point or another. The entire team is balls deep in bitcoin, they're obsessed with pubg and fortnite, and although they're allowed to watch Twitch at work, all they watch is Dr. Disrespect. I work with a few guys like that right now and it's obnoxious, I can't imagine an entire team of them. Right now I work with a bunch of middle aged republicans and it's pretty great honestly, as long as we don't talk politics. It's a good company to work for but I think I'll lose my mind within six months on that team. Also I have to go back to talking to customers and lol gently caress that.

I think I'm going to come back at them and ask for more money. Which will most likely get me a hard no and a blacklist from that recruiting agency since it goes against everything I've told them so far but lol recruiters are scum who cares. My biggest problem at work right now is that I'm incredibly bored. That's the most first world of all first world problems to have and honestly I got it pretty good for as much as I bitch.

My current place is super loving boring and i'd be tempted to move to a techbro team just so i'd have someone to make fun of. Right now i'm working from two buildings but "heavily encouraged" to work in the boring as poo poo no fun building. You'd think the building full of under 30's might have more fun but they're uptight as poo poo, whereas the building of people who've all been at the company for 15 years and aren't far off collecting their pension have the best stories and crack open a beer at the end of the day. On the plus side, boring jobs means you're stable right?

What's kind of telling is that I ended up getting along better with their HR director than the management of that team. She said something along the lines of "yeah that team can be...a bit of a handful at times". As she was walking me out, they were in the back of the office playing rocket league on the office Switch and were making a huge racket, yelling and screaming. My first impression of that was initially positive because, hell yeah video games at work. However, after I thought about it, I'd be loving pissed if they were doing that while I was trying to get work done. I don't work well with lots of outside noise. The job involves phone support, who's answering the phones while everyone's off playing video games? Most likely, it'll end up being me.
