You get paid to work 9-5 five days a week. If someone wastes a few minutes of your time socialising in a meeting that's hardly going to affect much. If its every meeting, that would be slightly different.

Simply expand the ratio as necessary to fill team size.

5 minutes of socialising in the morning and standup going 5 min over because of it is great, it's called team bonding, especially needed in a remote working environment. You're not going to do anything productive in that 5 min anyway.

I switched over from infrastructure a couple of years ago and I spend 60% of my time explaining basic how-computing-works topics to my own team (yes, the automation people need local admin on their build VMs to make packages; no, it’s not reasonable to just require everyone to use Edge on their Macs; no, you can’t “escalate it” and make that DNS change propagate faster). The rest of my time is spent waiting to be told it’s ok to do my job. Active attack on a public system and we need to write a rule to stop it? Change call is on Friday, rear end in a top hat, hope the app server makes it till then. Zero-day and we need a patch pushed out ASAP? Too bad, that team just started a sprint, so maybe we’ll squeeze it in next time.

Someone drive their car into my apartment building last night. They took out my air conditioning unit and also, uh, the building may not be structurally sound anymore. So that’s what’s pissing me off.

i used to buy that model of flash drives, they would do the branding and preload literature. since the data was less than a gig we would create a second partition that is read/write. they have software where you can manipulate the drive and so on

I swear I either saw some video or some explanation that it's cheaper to put a controller on every chip they make to manage the memory. They then query this controller to know how many parts of the memory are bad, and which can be used to read/write and sort them into sizes to sell to the customer from there.

The only reason it was of note to me is based on the guys other listings, he has some sort of IT background. So he either knows they are a scam and is scamming others, or got scammed himself...and is still scamming others unknowingly. Someone's tried to talk some sense to him based on the updated listing title.

They're the kind of thing you used to get for free at careers events and you would be all "cool free flash drive" until you popped them into your college laptop and it was like 128MB and just had a PDF and a shortcut link to a company's website. Then it goes on the pile of flash drives too small to steal one DVD rip .avi file with.

I usually find them in parking lots and then I plug them into my company's computers because I am incredibly smart.

You are all correct. I reflected on the feedback here and gave an apology to the individual I was referring to. I may never be able to make myself care about their personal lives, but I recognize that it's fundamental to team building and will be more patient in the future.

You'll then get it in the neck from the same management who ignored your requests to fix stuff when something does happen to the exact stuff you requested to fix. Infosec at my last company told us they weren’t approving any more smb shares, and were going to start prisma alerting on them. They didn’t seem to have any idea what an smb share was, or the impact of unilaterally deciding to ban them with no notice. Some VP rained fire in them and had it reversed in about a day.
