Everything got a "FLAGGED FOR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" warning and was inaccessible for a few weeks until IT could put me on some kind of whitelist. Some higherup must have uploaded his cc at some point for that to be a feature

There's a guy at work who will honestly ask you a question, but after every little bit of your answer he'll say, "Uh-huh, yep, mm-hmm" and I get that he's trying to look attentive but it's really distracting and just comes off like he doesn't care what your answer is and just wants you to stop talking as fast as possible.

cisneros posted:Some higherup must have uploaded his cc at some point for that to be a feature Had a dev (who we fired for being almost criminally useless at his job) hard-code his credit card details - well an account with his credit card details - in an SMS gateway feature we added, the last thing he did before he was fired even. And then I went and tested it and it didn't work because he'd made the messages all too long and when I fixed that and sent out a load of test messages (way more than the 10 free test messages or w/e the gateway gave you) I think he learned why not to do that. And then I learned that he'd hard-coded the account while investigating why it had stopped working.

'comfy' is fine for describing your favourite sweater or something but jfc I hate any usage of the word 'uncomfy' especially when it's like 'I know discussion about social issues might make some people uncomfy,' Please talk like an adult

Like, do you speak to your friends the same way you speak to your boss or something? Killingyouguy! posted:There's slang and then there's baby talk imo Look, sure, but I feel most socially functional people are aware enough of their own context/age/subcultural cues and the same in others to apply lexicons appropriately. There's stuff I'd use online I'd never use in face to face interaction and again stuff I'd use with friends I'd never use in a team meeting. Disco Pope has a new favorite as of 16:26 on Aug 4, 2021 |

When people get onto a highway on ramp in front of you and don’t go above 30-40mph, even as they drive on the highway,so merging onto the highway gets a lot more annoying to do when everyone is speeding past. I also recently had someone stop and put in a blinker to merge onto a highway from an on ramp, which just baffled me.

Device: Oh this super quiet tower fan has ultra low noise on the low speed settings! It also has night/sleep modes and super-silent operation, for almost noiseless fan whirring. However if you touch a single button to change the setting, mode, or speed, every press is accompanied with a loud banshee wail of a beep, every single time you press a button. loving hell, why are some companies so bad at including a function that lets you mute the sounds? It's paradoxical to set a fan to sleep/silent, but have it accompanied by a beep that just cuts through your ears.

"mind maps" as a way of conveying information. like with the balloons with lines between them the balloons usually are too small to contain detailed information except dumb words like CONTENT or COMMUNICATION or something that dont tell you anything, the connections are vague and meaningless and the overall impression is just chaos when they're meant as organizers somehow. just write a linear text

FFT posted:Related, I have absolutely taken all the steps to prevent Windows 10 from restarting on its own. If this is a windows update thing there's a really easy way to break that. Create a Ramdisk assigned to B:\ I use ImDisk but any ramdisk tool should work. I think a physical disk assigned to B:\ would as well but that'd be more annoying to turn off when you do want to update. For some reason that completely breaks windows update and makes it really easy to manage your update schedule manually. Any time I want to update I just have to disable the ramdisk. And bam it suddenly works again. I had no idea, for the longest time, why windows update had ceased working. It gave me different error codes each time and most of them went nowhere. I had taken to manually installing updates from the knowledgebase every so often. Eventually one of the error codes lead me to a decades old post about how having a drive assigned to B:\ breaks Windows update and sure enough that was it. I only used B:\ cuz I figured, well, physical disks seem to like starting at C and counting up from there, I still associate A:\ with floppies even though I'm never using them any more, never used B:\ for anything so might as well!
