QR codes for WiFi networks are the only use I’ve found for them. Point the iOS camera at them, done.

"Sales wants us to change the date on this invoice to October 1st...but not in the system" So get the loving typewriter out.

I've come across a usage of these things in the wild: a bus company where I live has added QR codes to their tickets. Whether you're using the mobile app or have bought a physical daily/weekly/monthly ticket, it just has a QR code on it that is scanned when you get on. They also take NFC payments but not everyone is going to have a phone capable of NFC I guess, they've all got screens.

Boarding passes are all qr codes these days. Configuring authentication apps is done with a QR code quite often.

loving printers... We got a brand new, quite expensive, HP MFP at our corp office. I got it setup, only for it to screw up later that day. For some reason the printer decided that all paper loaded into the supply trays was A4 sized. I couldn't even manually as the only available option for paper size was A4! It didn't matter that the print job/computer was set to use Letter, the printer tried to print as if it was A4 sized and thus cut the top off every document. This is a problem seeing as we are in the US and use Letter size! While waiting on the vendor and HP to respond to my ticket, I tried factory reset, which didn't work. Then I ended up digging up a service manual on some dark corner of the Internet and found out how to get into a pre-boot menu. The pre-boot menu let me perform a "out of box reset". Which solved the problem.

Zil posted:Well yeah if you want to be a square about it and do actual reporting. If they're audited by an outside firm, it's a great way to make the audit cost a shitload more money. "Yeah, these guys LOVE to change poo poo in the database to re-record sales and modify dates of sales for random revenue recognition purposes. You might wanna do some real close scrutiny of it and the associated controls, because this would be something very material to the issued financials." That right there will make most audit firm's buttholes pucker, and making SURE they got the right opinion takes a lot more time, and thus a lot more money.

Had tried to push to get one at the last place I worked but everyone balked at the price. Instead it was deemed cheaper to have support calls take 15-30 minutes longer to walk someone through setting up a Citrix GoToMeeting session, our users were not tech savvy.

SCCM + Remote Desktop generally worked great for us, except for people not on VPN. We have direct access, but no one's ever bothered to get RDP working with that.

We're re-painting our shithole main conference room Here's the wall where the computer/TV go. Bonus points for the tiny door.  They want to put the computer and wires on the other side of the wall, in the mail room.  Stupid idea. Why not just drywall over the loving door.

poo poo pissing me off: I have 15 loving iPads to set up for this new bullshit they're doing and no way to automate it. No JAMF, no Mac. This is on top of the 11 I already manage for Boardroom bullshit. They bitched about my personal net usage and want to give me more to do. Well, sure, OK. At least give me the tools to do it with? I'm sure I'll end up supporting these other 15 for updates and poo poo too.

And depending on the size of the TV, the bottom of it may even be low enough for the doorknob to hit. Looks to me like they're replacing their $0.20 doorstops with a $500 doorstop.
