I'm still sour on Google making Chrome the glitter of computer software (it gets everywhere and is impossible to clean out completely or manage competently) so I can't muster a single flying gently caress to give

Weren't they coming down hard on people for changing the default search engine with unrelated extensions? It would be hilarious if Microsoft becomes an Untrusted Publisher on the Chrome App Store.

The worst part about Google is that you can't really replace one of their letters with a currency symbol for cheap satire like you could for Micro$oft.

I'd be amazed if MS don't walk that decision back, they're going to eat universally negative press for it and I wouldn't be surprised if someone tries a class action for all the additional helpdesk time that is consumed.

My bet's on a soon-to-be-ex manager somewhere in the chain thinking this was their big break to look good to the higher-ups by being the one to get people actually engaging with Bing!

If the explanation wasn't so blatantly transparent, they might have gotten away with it. But changing the default search engine in a browser that's not hooked directly into the OS has no bearing on the overall system search.

According to the screenshots it does because it somehow hooks into your company directory. Which means the plug-in is doing a lot more than just changing your search engine. Of course it's presented in glowing terms so you're supposed to think that's a good thing.

It’s “Microsoft Search in Bing” not just the regular Bing search. It searches your O365 resources as well as the internet. So email, OneDrive, sharepoint. The last thing Microsoft should want is to leak telemetry to google from people searching for internal documents.

Last week I replaced two paper tray pick up rollers and the 4 grabber rollers in a Laserjet that's old enough to drink, since it had been jamming. We're supposed to be replacing this ancient stuff, but the meetings with the new contracted supplier keep getting pushed back. I get a ticket this morning that the printer is jammed again. I get there, and the lid and manual feed are open. One of the lid's hinges is broken off (I replaced the lid last year for precisely the same problem, probably caused by the same sort of user-attempted repair), the door thing inside the paper tray is completely removed, and the pickup roller half off its axle. I have no idea how they removed that door thing; it takes a fair bit of force. Oh, and there's a mangled sheet of paper under the toner cartridge. Just sent another email telling staff to not try to unjam printers on their own. In other recent-ish issues, we discovered water filling one of the conduits bringing in our analog phone service, which was overflowing in the server room and infiltrating the hallway carpet on the other side of the wall. Custodian wet vacuumed the conduit empty, and it took maintenance 2 months to get Centurylink out to look at it, only to just cap it off with some resin stuff. While that was happening, the condenser for the aircon in the server room died and it took them 2 months to decide it'd cost 30 grand to replace. In the meantime, the server room door has been open with a big fan blowing air in, and we're still 3 weeks out from getting it fixed. Also two weeks ago I heard a strange sound coming from the switch rack, and it sounds like one of the supplemental PoE power supplies has something failing in it. And yesterday the advance rma for a dead Smartpanel arrived, so I got to wonder, again, why this 4k 65" tv with an IR touch sensor and bolted-on Android module weighs 180lbs.

Full metal chassis and actual glass screen, whereas most consumer displays have gone to as much plastic as they can get away with, as well as screens that don't really take much abuse.

One of these days I'm going to get around to opening my wife's portable battery charger that she bought for $20 off groupon, because the thing weighs as much as a brick and I'm 99% sure it's loaded with dead weight just to feel more solid than it really is.

You know, I've never done cocaine but two sets of patches going sideways, followed by a customer's entire environment being down as soon as one of those patches is unfucked makes me kind of wish I did. I could use the energy. E: I'm here alone for another hour and I have 76 tickets in my queue, usually I do get 76 tickets in over two days, including ones I forward to other teams. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 12:51 on Jan 25, 2020 |

Collateral Damage posted:RIP Waffleimages, most of the images in the thread are gone. There's supposed to be an announcement about it at some point, but basically the situation is that Jeffrey of YOSPOS has found some people who have partial archives of waffleimages, and has written a userscript that can be used to regex waffleimages links to point to these archives - so old threads suddenly start working again. The userscript can be found in SAclopedia under WaffleImages.
