Any current FreshService customers in here that wouldn't mind posting their opinions? Most likely going to be recommending it as a replacement for Spiceworks.

I use Freshdesk in a ~45 person company for managing helpdesk and have no issues. I have raised a few tickets to their support and they're always really responsive and open to feature requests etc. So the helpdesk side of things is sound - I presume you're more interested in inventory tracking etc?

Is there really not a browser out there that gives the same benefits as the tor browser but doesn't sound shady as gently caress?

By definition, no. You can't run through the tor network or anything similar and not look suspicious.

It’s ‘okay’. It’s not better or worse than every other helpdesk solution I’ve tried out.

We use it for helpdesk and change control. We were using inventory and contract management but the former was better handled by other software and the latter just sucked.

We used our recent LockerGoga event to " accidentally" lose some backups of poo poo like Timberline. And oh wouldn't you know it all the DCs got upgraded to 2016 and the domain functional isn't 2003 anymore. Weird. What's that? Our seven file servers are now one proper dfs-r cluster?

Seriously 5 days of uninterrupted downtime was awesome after the panic wore off.

This is excellent - gently caress Timberline. (And Sage).

Out of curiosity, why not 2019? It's basically 2016 SP1.

Is there any way at all to add SharePoint sites to Word 2013 (yes I know) via GPO? Microsoft's documentation on the 2013 ADMX templates is very poor.

The problem we have is that users can link SharePoint to Word without an issue, but it only shows the default team site - there seems to be no way to get to document libraries in other sites on the same tenant without pasting URLs into the explorer-like interface, or browsing using the web interface and then hoping that it remembers that you opened a document from that destination.

Director went to my boss’s office three times today asking where I was. I really figured the first time he went in and was told that myself and another were at a HP executive briefing that was scheduled, approved, and vendor paid would be enough but apparently not. I’m curious what the other two times were like.

Anyway from now on all conferences and trainings will come out of PTO. Lol

I have one extremely ill advised run at a plant that's about 700ft and can barely manage 10 half with an enormous amounts of errors, so idk maybe?

It exists because the fiber to a scale shack pc died, and instead of just fixing it or doing something that made sense they just shoved 700ft of cat5 into the conduit and called it a day.

I saw that as well and I read some of the replies had a few theories. One was that it was to dodge import duties somehow, and another was that it would protect the cable from corrosion. No idea if any of that is the real reason.

It's solid-core cable, I'm not sure it really matters once you cut the connector off.

Nah, a lot of the best management books came out of the '80s: Deming's Out of the Crisis, Goldratt's The Goal, Porter's Competitive Strategy, and a pile of others. You can't even blame the decade for these chucklefucks. These are the people who constantly repeat how if you go to prison, the first thing you do is find the biggest, baddest mother in the joint and crack his skull. They then manage this way, every day.

Seems weird to risk legal issues by making that a policy instead of just not approving your training when you ask for it.
