That looks like a push notification from chrome, not a native Windows 10 ad.

If you look in the notification list does it say what app generated it? Looks like it's coming from the app with an icon of someone reading a paper. Edit: Oh it says Chrome right there

I like the idea of Steam Link but it was so tempremental. It wouldn't detect my Xbox One controller if I haven't used it in a while and I had to spend like 5 minutes before a session just getting that working before I could proceed.

browser notifications are approved per-domain, in an opt-in fashion. if you’re getting ads from browser notifications I assume you’re only mad about it because they cover up your BonziBuddy.

Email is so much nicer to use when you don't get notifications, and it's a thing you check in with on your own schedule. We've pretty much got everybody within the company using chat for time sensitive things, phone calls for urgent stuff, and email is just a 'whenever' type way of getting messages around.

Well on Firefox setting "dom.webnotifications.enabled" to "false" in about:config should shut them and the requests for it up. On Chrome, going to "Site settings" you should find an option that prevents both notifications from being sent from sites you accidentally enabled, and the requests to allow from turning up. I don't think Edge actually has a blanket switch though, and Opera is probably the same method as Chrome because it's just a skin for Chromium these days.

Serial chat, our new Juniper gear has a micro usb port on the front, and has the serial to usb adapter inside the equipment, so in theory I'll never need my cisco cable and usb to serial adapter anymore. However, I never remember to install the drivers before I get onsite so it will probably never work.

A+ engineering from Microsoft there.

Coredump posted:Headless? When I tried to use my Steam link one of the few times it made me change the resolution on the host computer down to match the tv I was trying to use. Plus the lag was bad for a racing game and it was a wired connection from internet <> pc <> steam link. And yea, driving games are surprisingly dependent on input latency. You'd think they'd work well because online racing tends to be able to handle high lag pretty well, but the minute corrections required for holding a vehicle at the edge of a slide make it really easy to get in to a tank slapper when you introduce ~30ms of lag. I love mine for games like Subnautica, Alien Isolation, and Metal Gear Solid where actions are generally slow and deliberate, but would never try using it for racing or shooting games. Except for some reason Rocket League works great on it. I've never figured that out, you'd think it'd be really affected by the lag but GTA V plays worse by a lot.

Xarn posted:Honestly, that sounds like a bullet dodged. People who think it is a good idea to have "biblical principles" in their job ad would still be lovely to work with, even if someone told them that they are not allowed to do that. Yup. They messaged me, actually, and at first I was like, "This company sounds really familiar, did I apply with them last time I was job hunting and not get it? I can't see any reason I wouldn't have applied, they sound great!" I actually do really appreciate disclosing the planned salary range up front and just being honest about a lot of bullshit that most companies try to conceal and make into this awkward dance that only servers to try to undercut the salary offered. Then I clicked "Apply" (this was on Stack Overflow Jobs), and it takes you to their own website, where I clicked on the link for the senior position they had emailed me about. I had to scroll down to find the apply button and that's when it jumped out at me: quote:Character First Definitely a bullet dodged, because I had seen this exact bullshit before during my last round of apps....on StackOverflow. I had reported it back then because that poo poo isn't kosher, and SO removed their ads. Evidently, they took the hint and now just conveniently omit that part when posting their ads externally, but still include it on their own website where mean moderators can't "censor" them, as well as in the company's "About Us" page. I'm taking them to task with the EEOC, which states: EEOC Prohibited Practices Page posted:It is illegal for an employer to publish a job advertisement that shows a preference for or discourages someone from applying for a job because of his or her race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. It's one thing if you just had to go digging to find some fundie poo poo in their website, but there is no reason to include that as one of the first sections of your job ad except to demonstrate a clear preference for the kind of applicant you want. While I have absolutely no interest in working somewhere like that anyway, I love calling companies out when they're this blatant about it, since I'm so sick of all the "CHRISTIANS ARE THE MOST PERSECUTED GROUP IN 'MERCIA BECAUSE WE CAN'T PERSECUTE OTHERS WITH IMPUNITY".

I think it’s probably the disclaimer that it’s the “principles” rather than the faith that gives them at least plausible deniability for lawsuits. Do nonprofits have different rules or something? I know a ton of charities are openly religious, I can’t imagine you could get away with refusing to hire someone on the basis of their religion/protected class, but do they have more leeway in their operations otherwise? Not counting the Salvation Army holding the homeless population of NYC hostage so they don’t have to provide healthcare to gay married partners.

I agree it shouldn't be in a job advert but it doesn't seem to be encouraging or discouraging anyone from applying because of their religion.

That's clearly what they're going for, trying to cover their rear end with that line, but it's most likely irrelevant. Their choice of language elsewhere demonstrates a preference. Nonprofits and charities are treated differently, as far as I know, but that's just at the federal level. It's a clusterfuck at the state level.

I think they could make a successful argument if this was JUST buried in their company's about us blurb, but the fact that this is one of the first sections in all of their job ads says a lot. You don't have to say outright "Non-Christians Need Not Apply" to demonstrate that you are not welcome here if you're not a Christian.

Our WAN provider had a problem that downed two of our sites, with each site having two fibre connections to this provider. Turns out that it all runs through this single piece of equipment, they won't confirm that there's even a secondary, won't say what the device is, won't say what the software version is, all citing 'security' as the reason why. My guess is that they're running poo poo or end of life kit and don't want to embarass themselves, every other provider I've worked with offers up the vendor and software versions in their outage reports without needing to be asked.

Our VAR helpfully included a USB to micro USB console cable in our quote for about £30. Turns out it is a bespoke cable for the Aruba AP's, and doesn't work if you try to use it to connect to the switches. Spent about half an hour trying to troubleshoot that before I plugged a normal micro USB cable in.

I got approved for work from home a couple days a week. Had Avaya One-X pushed down to my issued work laptop and got issued a computer headset. Pulled the config files off the official support center sharepoint and got set up to take calls via the software on the computer. Have done WFH for the past three weeks with little to no problems. On Friday, they upgraded the Avaya servers and updated the server software. Suddenly, WFH agents stopped getting the "whisper tone" to let them know that a call had come in - out of the blue you would just have an open line. Ticket was escalated to Telephony - basically every WFH agent was attached to the ticket, cause we were all having the same problem. Ticket was closed by Telephony with the note: "agents are not supposed to be using one-x agent in road-warrior mode, which means using the PC to handle the calls. we only support using a 3rd party phone for audio, which means cell phone or landline phone. when you use the PC to handle audio, you are introducing a lot more variables for call quality." So if I set up the software to forward my calls to my third party, completely non-company affiliated landline or cell, you will support that. But if I use my COMPANY ISSUED headset on my standard COMPANY ISSUED laptop, using the OFFICIAL COMPANY configuration, you will not support it because that is "too many variables". Nice.
