Everyone at my work is firstname, even the C-levels, unless your name is something like Mike where there are several of you, and then you get called lastname.

I get called Mr Armadillo or Sir a lot in my work. Makes me laugh every time it happens. I work with a lot of ex military and I'm a manager so it just stems from that. I don't think anyone actually tells anyone to do it, they just do.

My wife has a DVM and an MS so she'll occasionally tell me that I have to address her as Doctor Master, but she's normally pretty informal about it otherwise and generally goes by Doctor <Firstname> even when it is used, except for formal things like presentations at conferences or whatever. She does get worked up about people addressing things to "Mr. and Mrs. <Myfirstname> <Ourlastname>, so we try getting people to send things to "Dr. and Mr. <Herfirstname> <Ourlastname>" if they insist on doing that sort of thing. No takers yet, even among her old high school friends and stuff

I am absolutely going to do that when my wife passes her viva and if someone is all "it's DOCTOR Dipshit actually" I'll respond "oh? Well it's Mr. Dortor My Wife too". Because why not?

I once had someone to remind me to call them Dr at a kids birthday party and I could do was laugh and walk away. Its just one of those red flags that immediately sets off the "eject" button for me and I am getting too old to deal. It goes hand and hand with the "no law enforcement" policy we have in the house. My wife use to not be a fan of it, but the rule always shows why it needs to exist over a long enough timeline. She now gets it.

Yeah to clarify, outside of a professional context (and even then only when appropriate) and her annoyance at having her name simply erased for being a woman with the whole "Mr. and Mrs. Myname Lastname" thing, she isn't remotely pretentious at all. She usually only points out that her title is "Doctor" if someone is being condescending to her because she's a woman or whatever.

Just spent half an hour with a vendor in our server room trying to hunt down a port number that did not match to anything in our panel numbering scheme. We ran a tone wand over all of our active ports and couldn't find anything. eventually by tracking wires we found a tiny half-height panel wedged underneath a wire hider so you couldn't see it unless you removed the hider or were sitting on the floor. Hilarious part is once we found them the ports on the switch were very clearly labeled.

There's been a spate of people at work who're reporting an issue connecting to their WiFi while our VPN (PAN GlobalProtect) is active. Since it's an always-on VPN, because government, there's not much we can do except blame the ISP when the device works fine on site. Apparently AT&T has told more than one fiber site that VPNs "aren't supported" which is some hot mcfuckin' bullshit.

Here's a good piece on why despite constantly showing up in "concept drawings" of fancy new buildings, trees on skyscrapers is actually a terribly impractical idea for a myriad reasons and so usually never really make it into the final product: https://99percentinvisible.org/article/renderings-vs-reality-rise-tree-covered-skyscrapers/

Does traffic to internal resources work, but internet does not?

Some friends of mine work at an European base of a big tech company and they showed me around their recreation rooms, on-site cinema, squash hall, and all sorts of fancy stuff. Then they told me that they never make use of those facilities because there is no time for that, they only saw them when giving friends tours. I guess it's something like that.

The issue that people are having is they can connect to a wifi network while at the office, but when they go home and try to connect to their wifi network there, they get "Couldn't connect to this network" from Windows.

nexxai posted:I vaguely recall back in my support days that some VPN clients wouldn't automatically use the right MTU on certain connections and would constantly have issues (horrible packet fragmentation meant basically no connections would work). IIRC (and this is like 10+ years ago, so I might not) the VPN was setting the MTU to 1492 and it needed to be 1400; once we forced the MTU to the correct value, the connections started working again. Something to look into, maybe? ...MTU? Where would I see what it's set to, and how would I validate that it is correct?

At least in the past, I routinely had/have globalprotect fail to release routes after the VPN has died/suspended/kicked for inactivity, and it continues to try to route all traffic through a dead GP, until I manually disconnect/reconnect and log in again
