I've thought just ordering a new one and giving the i7 to someone else, but then he'd win. Yes, I am that petty. This guy is like a toddler screaming "wanna bikky", and he's not getting his bikky from me. Luckily, he's cried wolf so many times no one takes him seriously anymore. Also, we're an SME so I don't really have an IT budget or a cost center I could charge against. Good thing the owner is very receptive to the argument of "We have a good machine, and he wants me to spend (your) money to get a new one".

He just wants a Macbook and he’s prepared to scream his way to the top until he gets one.

Not just a MacBook, the newest MacBook so he can be the most advanced big dog on the corner (until the 2019 model is out). A lot of people insist that newest is bestest. If you really want to get under these people's skin, buy them a "new" laptop shortly before refreshes are typically announced, then buy some scrub in the company the even newer one a few weeks later.

I had to briefly suppress laptop envy after seeing some new models floating around. Then I remembered my laptop does email and runs a VDI window and that's it, and there's literally no reason to upgrade it. The laptop perfectly fits my use case as long as the battery is fine. It's me, I'm the reasonable actor in a world of chaotic IT bullshit.

It's like setting up a mini thunderdome of Hardass. Jr (Salesperson) vs. King Hardass (Director of sales) where they usually get told to shut the gently caress up unless there's a legit problem.

It's actually really easy to accidentally make one. It's such a basic design. Given the current political situation they need to make a public announcement though or they will seem to be siding with racists. It doesn't matter if it's intentional, after it's brought to your attention you change it. There was a campaign level in Starcraft 2 that the AI made a large swastika on the minimap due to the pathing if you just sat in the base, which I believe what you were supposed to do. It was patched out in a non descript way and everyone forgot about it. Just move the head so it touches the body, it'll tighten the image up but it will remove the offensive part. I still have to really search for it without the lines though. It's not something that pops out to me. It's clearly not intentional, or the designer wanted to hide one and pull a fast one on management I guess. That seems extremely dumb and if you have a history of hiding that in your work, a quick way to never get hired again.

I agree with all of this except I saw it immediately. Load announcement page, and my thought process was: that's not bad, wait, really, really, how the gently caress did they not catch the loving swastika, and lol it's dicks too, better post this on SA.

I've caused laptop envy in my (software development) department because Dell laptops are standard and while I do have one of those, I also have a MacBook pro because I am doing iOS mobile development, and several people who are normally Mac users are jealous.

What lovely point-of-sales systems you have there! What's that? Your endpoint protection suite is called "Windows defender"? No VPN? You have an innovative way of sending payment and customer information without a VPN? No SSL? CCNs are not stored locally so sending them unencrypted to whoever processes the transaction is fine? Oh pardon me I just forgot to take my crazy pills this morning. I see everyone else is keeping up..ok we are deploying HOW MANY?

I know Windows Defender is good for home use and is a better AV than a lot of paid options, but is it really better than like, Checkpoint or Symantec for a POS setup? I don't actually know but I doubt it.

It's less likely to have some horrific backdoor access to let malicious applications run as system with no further checks. You have to wonder what you're protecting your Epos systems *from* though. Nobody should be able to plug in a USB drive, connect out to the web or connect inbound. If you're actually handling card data then you probably want to be looking at port security, physical security of the system to prevent them being removed etc. Thanks Ants fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Jan 18, 2019 |

You are honestly more likely to have a security flaw in something like Symantec that opens you up to more exposure rather than have better detection.

How about let's rearrange it a bit? https://twitter.com/brianarn/status/1085635094616797184 Despite this, the left panel's color changing to the maroon was a lot more annoying because I have to look at that.

I saw the swastika immediately too and just laughed. Its an obvious fuckup but just because you personally didn't see it doesn't mean its not obviously there. I also agree it took me a lot longer to see the dicks. E: On poo poo that's pissing me off it turns out our web developer/really wants to do network admin stuff has been breaching GDPR. I did a bit of digging and found that his webserver that we used to use for scans as well (before my time here) has old scans for literally everything you do not want out on the internet as a company. I don't think i've ever audibly gasped in surprise at work before. dogstile fucked around with this message at 12:08 on Jan 18, 2019 |
