Just did this interview thing where, a website gives you a question prompt to look at for 20 seconds then immediately starts recording your webcam for three minutes. I have to say that was really tough, and I hope more companies aren't gonna adopt this poo poo. Twenty seconds isn't long enough to read a prompt think of an answer and then articulate it well when you don't even have a human to play off of.

You'll drown in procedures and processes instead! Case in point: It's been over 2 weeks and counting that I have been waiting to get a security token from an enterprise customer so I can actually do some more work for them. Getting an AD account was quick, but the arcane art of sticking hardware in an envelope is apparently highly critical and will take at least another week. Nevermind that I got their AD guy (who is of course somebody external) to add various SAML services to their AD after I basically cold-mailed him because I took over from a colleague who left. Corporate security, ahoy! Unrelated: regarding the question about impostor syndrome, have a look at what people in academia, and especially in the humanities, write. Look for things written by PhD-students and early-career researchers, since it's rather present in discourse there.

These things get beat to absolute poo poo and keep on working while whatever lovely deskjet/laserjet they put out on a plant floor is dead almost instantly if it's not in a dust enclosure. That one's probably still good with a little TLC or a refurb. I can say this because I haven't had to really fix a printer in years

We use Bartender label program and their drivers. We have a company that we pay a monthly fee ($8/mo per printer) and they are responsible for fixing and maintaining our entire line of Zebra printers. They come out once a month for PM and replacement parts are covered.

They are doing this even for quite a few jobs in retail now as well, it seems what ever company makes the software has gotten a lot of buy in. I always opted out of doing these odd interviews saying I didn't have a smartphone nor webcam.

There’s a question displayed on screen with text then your answer is recorded with audio and video? I assume they feed it into some data analytics platform for “analysis” which is mostly bullshit.

A) I know people are constantly asking this, but what's our Slack again? B) There's a "test" involving development standards in dev environments and it's named after somebody but I forget what the name is. I know it's someone involved with GitHub, maybe from Fog Creek software or whatever the company's name is. I'm coming up blank with Google, can someone remind me?

I am glad I don't have to do weird interviews like that. Pretty much every interview I ever plan to give or be a participant in will be to judge the character and personality of the applicant. edit: probably just a little bit of testing tech knowledge, but mostly just a BS test level.

Stupid question: Is there an equivalent to `efibootmgr`? Post installing an OS Windows (and Ubuntu) set themselves as the first boot device. I want to set it back to be a specific NIC PXE booting first. In Ubuntu I can just use efibootmgr to set this option. This is to control what happens before the Windows bootloader is executed. I've found various threads on the subject, none of them have any advice, and most of them misunderstand that the user wants BCDEdit or whatever it's called. Unless that can set a different device to boot before Windows Boot Manager I'm not interested. (Hello coworkers.)

This documentation talks about using bootcfg to edit the EFI boot order, but it is not something that I've tried myself.

Thanks Ants posted:Definitely try and get something that presents a nice compatible share for the MFP and then backs it off onto good storage, because there will be a day when you fancy using some new file server features and you'll find out that your five-week old printers won't do anything newer than SMB 1. Yeah we have patched those out of the environment finally (To my knowledge...). I'm trying to convince the org to take this work load off of our NetApp Filers and replace it with a crappy windows file server, with a share per scanning path, so they can have some form of auditing as to how many / whos connected where without digging through NetApp's CLI to find it all. I hate scanning.

I completely agree on the middleware, but I don't know that our MFP guys either agree, or know whats available.

Our Cisco AS engineer asked me to send him 3 bullet points for his manager as to his performance this past half year. Hes honestly sucked so I didnt send him anything and deflect when he asks about it. Is that passive aggressive enough ?

I've never heard of asking one of your external accounts for a peer review. My last encounter with AS didnt have this. The FTEs have to peer review each other in this company though. Each person has to find 6 people to give them a review.

AS is a consulting organization, so the Cisco engineer works for OP's org (through a Cisco contract) but is still managed and paid by Cisco. Typically an AS engineer's performance will be judged by their management in large part based on how well they serve the needs of the client they are working for, since if they're not doing that why would the client renew the contract?
