Excel gets a bad rap, but it's pretty much your only option if you need to record events that occurred on Feb 29 1900.

So the Free Software Foundation is just utterly determined to make themselves even more irrelevant and throw away whatever goodwill they had left, huh https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/03/richard-stallman-returns-to-fsf-18-months-after-controversial-rape-comments/

Stallman's main importance in this day and age is as a cautionary tale for how a certain type of weird tech guy can end up if they're allowed to stay in a bubble never have to get a real job where normal people can call them on their bullshit.

Learning about comp sci history in school is real weird when you realize that everyone you're learning about is still alive and kicking. Stallman's one of those people where he seemed like a gigantic goober even in the history books and there's really no way to hide it.

tee he he - It's been a while since I've had one of these  Urgent problem fix asap we have logged this 3 times!!! We've had nothing through where have you logged it Names FM System Oh - that goes to maintenance, you need to *follow these steps* We've done that and it's still not fixed raaa!!! *asks tech* have we had a fault for this? - nope... ok, back to can you give me the reference for this issue please? Yes it's 1234 that was raised on 22/10/20 and closed 23/10/20 so you need to log it please,I thought that was going to be it, but as I type this post the manager in the cc trail has replied and said "should 1234 have been closed as how it wasn't actioned" (interesting grammar) I pointed out the dates and said it's probably just happened again or you are telling me the phone has been off for 5 months haha To be fair, they've just replied and said missed the October bit but it still made me smile

COO's Surface Book 1 finally poo poo the bed earlier today.. The battery in the tablet part just died. Apparently when this happens it locks the machine to 400Mhz. I thought some driver or something went to poo poo, but found out thanks to a little utility called ThrottleStop it was power limiting due to thinking the battery was missing. Also, the battery indicator went stupid at the same time:

 Why waste money on ESD bags when you could just use static cling wrap. They both have static in the name so surely they’re equivalent.

I do enjoy it when we get laptops that have been booted out of active directory and can't be logged into since they have bitlocker enabled. I'm sure there's a way to crack into them but I'm fairly sure we don't have the capability right now

No point, just the static generated during packing and shipping in cling wrap is enough to fry a motherboard. The only way it could’ve been worse was if it was taped to an active TENS unit.

Using a machine locked at 400Mhz is not fun. Despite looking at Task Manager multiple times it took a bit before I realized it was locked to .4Ghz.

A ticket came in. From the network and server admin team. "Please replace $user's docking station. They are experiencing account lockouts, but only when they are on site and docked. To eliminate the docking station as the cause of the lockouts, as expressed by the user, please swap out their docking station for a new one." WAT Just...WAT

Did they configure their computer to go to screensaver while docked but not while undocked? (and have to log back in after screensaver)

I'm always going to assume a Layer 8 issue of some kind. Capslock, roaming space, something. Still. WAT. Kurieg posted:Did they configure their computer to go to screensaver while docked but not while undocked? (and have to log back in after screensaver) Screen lock and screensaver is configured by GPO to lock and go blank after I think 5 minutes of inactivity. I'm going to stop by their desk tomorrow and see what's up. Again, just, WAT. How do you make the leap from "Only happens when I am in the office using the dock" to blaming the dock that doesn't store or modify passwords in any way?

"Replace the docking station" is pretty common for "it's not the dock, but if you'll shut the gently caress up, I'll replace it" vernacular.

Our new HP laptops require USB-C docks instead of the old side dock and of course now everyones docks are magically failing. Even with WFH, word gets out.

The USB-C docks have gotten alot better since the G1. Just gotta make sure you firmware update it and the laptop you're connecting it to. Which is super easy to do thankfully. We have Thunderbolt docks too for the zbooks, they're pricy. Alot more firmware upgrades for those.
