Now that hardware device sales are falling off cliffs and they need services it's literally another print money avenue. At least we'll get platform SSO in mac os wineo country.

Sometimes when I'm asked about my IT experience, I just mention mistakes I've made. Things like making a DNS server its own primary responder, or the time I hosed up an iptables rule on a Saturday and had to take a cab into the office. This is one of those times.

Added a computer to domain, changed device name, logged off. Hop on next day, no accounts with any sort of permissions above User are recognized nor is the account I used to make the change able to be logged in on. These computers... friggin loony, imo!!!

dc3k posted:yeah i need to know more about home weather stations. been thinking about building one recently. Do any of your neighbors have a wireless one mounted on the side of their house? I'm pulling data from my neighbor's Acurite 5-in-1 into my Home Assistant server using a cheap RTL-SDR dongle.  The RTL-SDR will also allow you to pull other things into your Home Assistant servers as well, like TPMS data for cars that drive down your street.

Traveling this week for a new location opening, and because the site changed its opening date multiple times, and its in a heavy tourist area, we couldn't get rooms until late. The closest place is about 45 minutes away, so I can't wait to have get up earlier and get back later all week.

I do a lot of online shopping, and at least once a week some site that wants a form filled in breaks utterly on Firefox, even with extensions off, but works fine on Chrome. Government sites and small online stores are the most likely to fail.

I know it's been going on for a while, but companies that bomb search results for "product+SSO" with their automatically generated pages for their also-ran identity platform that eventually says "yes we can handle SSO to this application via password vaulting and a helper app" are search spam and should be treated as such.

Got asked (told) to spec up and build a PC for a Director's son this week. First PC I've built in about 5 years (and that was the PC this one is replacing) and everything worked first time. No recabling the front panel LEDs, no PCIe cables not seated properly, no fans on upside down, nothing. Might buy a lottery ticket on the way home tonight.

A long time ago working for a now-gone appliances and electronics retailer, one of the upsells they did was to basically click next next next on the initial windows startup options and run updates. A dedicated, internet-only vlan was carved out in the stores with a few ports hot for use. One store in particular decided to use the jack in the manager’s office which was the standard non-pci vlan. For one computer they named it “share”….which was the dfs namespace for the entire company. It happily did the dynamic dns update and surprise, no more file shares for anyone!

Printer wont do dual-sided prints, uh oh! Check the settings, Optional Duplex Addon isnt enabled - takes a PCL driver. Try and install - insufficent permissions. Ive had 4 tickets now that Ive had to kick to someone else since I dont have permissions for simple poo poo like device renames or standard updates

After working with a different site location that is 8 hrs ahead of my time zone and a language barrier to get all their devices to communicate with the new software in the same manner that it interacted with excel... I have to now explain why a database style of storing device input is better than putting everything in multiple weekly Excel sheets

Speaking of the front panel wiring, I wish more companies used the Q-connector idea Asus had for a bit. Or just make the drat thing permanent, pretty sure all the power/reset/LED headers are the same anyways. I hate having to wrangle all those teeny wires & cramp up my fat hands trying to fit everything.

Yesterday, my team was tasked with testing a specific issue in a test environment, to confirm if a big patch in the upcoming Thursday night deployment fixed it. Team member confirmed the patch did in fact fix it, but discovered a completely separate, high-priority issue. We documented our findings in the ticket we were assigned to test, and I personally, directly alerted the lead of the deployment that would occur yesterday afternoon. The alert was acknowledged. Today, I come in to "what did you guys find" and "why didn't you tell the right people" and "miscommunication" all over the place. I ask what could be done better, and I get "you could have emailed <team lead> about the issue or reported it in an existing ticket related to the deployment." gently caress I did alert the team lead, and I have no way to know which existing ticket could have caused it. That's why I alerted the team lead.

Wibla posted:Show your receipts and tell them to pound sand. Done. I'm also going full malicious compliance. I am currently proposing that I spin up an entire project on how to prevent this from ever happening again. This development team's current process only allows for testing tickets to be created as sub-tasks of user stories, and they also don't allow things to be filed as Defects. Only User Stories are allowed. This means that if someone just finds a problem, their only recourse is to file it on the ticket they're working (a sub-task of a story that may not be part of an impending release, and therefore not considered until the release it's part of) or as a new User Story (to be triaged and worked eventually). Therefore we clearly need a path to alert the deployment team of potential defects outside their existing process. In this essay, I propose...

ConfusedUs posted:This means that if someone just finds a problem It took a while, but this was implemented in our process as a 'NCP' (non-compliant product) and is filed in Jira as such. It's only a 'Defect' ticket if a user finds it. Maybe that helps?  I have no idea what the actual difference is, I just fix the bugs.
