Cory in the Blouse posted:I just overheard someone using a phrase that made my skin crawl At my workplace my keyboard is in some hosed up foreign layout where all the special characters are in the wrong places. Doesn't bother me because I touch-type and have Windows set to US-International. But when someone who hunt-and-pecks is at my keyboard and I have to have them type in an email address I just say 'uppercase 2'. It's easier that way. Of course recently I've heard them actually call the @ an uppercase 2 and look like a fool, so that's a nice win as well.

From the gif thread, seems like it'd fit in here better. Speaking of which, why the gently caress does the Xerox Colorqube piece of poo poo we have at work insist on presenting only Letter to Windows and thus scaling all pages printed on A4 (the only paper size we use) down to completely gently caress up any label printing requirements and also anything that needs proper alignment otherwise? IT won't even touch the issue.

mllaneza posted:That's just about got to be a driver issue. The on-board firmware isn't smart enough to gently caress that up. Upgrading the firmware might help though. And if it's in the 88xx series, upgrade the firmware anyway because some of those models might put 50v on a 3.3v circuit and burn out a motor. Yes, the loving thing shipped with that kind of bug in the firmware. Cool, thanks for confirming that the entire range is hot poo poo. Too bad I don't have any power over it since I'm just a lab tech. The weird thing is that the big Xerox MFC we've got in the upstairs office area uses the exact same drivers. And even though it also tells Windows that it's only got Letter, it's still capable of printing A4 without wonky scaling. Oh well, I can always hope the upcoming acquisition means our new overlords will have a heart attack when they see we're actually still using Cat 3 cable (and sometimes just Cat 2) to somehow push 10Mbit network connections and will grace us with a new infrastructure and printers that are at least functional. One can dream.

I don't get why having to occasionally enter a PIN is in any way a deal breaker. "If I have to enter my PIN every once in a while I might as well not use this convenience feature that speeds up my process 99% of the time and just always enter my PIN!"  Now, the real fun starts when it's a corporate phone with a 35 day password expiry policy with no repeats allowed.

The Lone Badger posted:I have a passphrase, and the password is the first letter of each word. New password time, second letter of each word. Fourth, fifth etc (wrapping around when I get to the end of a word). I'm surprised your password policy let's you get away with just repeating the same letter 8 times... Not to mention the repeat in there. BbBbbbBb uuuuuuuu ffffffff ffffffff aaaaaaaa llllllll oooooooo Speaking of password policies, the company I used to work for had a policy where the first 6 to 8 characters had to be different from the previous password. So MyPasswrd01 to MyPasswrd02 would fail, but MyPass01 to MyPass02 would be fine. (Actual example they used.) Am I right in thinking this probably means they stored the passwords in plaintext somewhere? And also that this is really dumb because it invites weaker passwords, plus you can just defeat it by putting your incrementing number at the front.

Johnny Aztec posted:^ Doesn't work in Firefox so guess thats out. Well, if the 100k creativity doesn't get you a respec option, consider getting -10k operations by quantum computing at the end of the cycle. That will give you an option to respec everything 100% for sure.

(Local time is 16:50) The light went out and now the internet is down and I can't sent my reports. Please fix immediately this is BUSINESS CRITICAL!!! Oh and I cleaned up my desk to get a fresh start next year and used some scissors to get rid of those strings you guys left coming from my hard drive desktop. I can't believe you never cleaned those up after putting this here.
