I think we should stop storing the obsolete or down-for-repair robots in a dank, dark basement with water leaking everywhere and no security cameras. if OSHA stops by to examine the facilities we're going to be hosed up the rear end with fines. whose idea was this anyway

outdated hosts policy: i know they're deactivated and all, but it really seems like a bad idea to put creatures with every reason to hate humans all together, in a huge dark room, with no one watching them. maybe they could be laid down in bunkbeds in smaller, locked rooms? at my old job we'd demag and drill through old hard drives. maybe we could do something like that here?

poo poo, at the very least put some handcuffs on them and sit them on the ground. one time security was down there cause Ford didn't let us know he'd be loving the old prospector again and a guy tripped, knocking one over, with predictable results. it took over an hour to stand them all back up, the entire time hearing Ford dryly humping away in the back room. (why is that the only part of the storage area that has working lights??!?)

all changes need to go into source control, and hosts will only run firmware built by the build servers and signed by the auth server after it passes QA.

seriously, why are we letting the old weirdo just blow a wad into the code immediately before patching begins. he doesn't even tell anyone he's doing it, one day we pull a buggy host and all of a sudden it's an anxious wreck. how does he expect guests to like a fuckbot that's got depression

I would have assumed they were programmed to head to the WC to wash up after a throw, but based on how every other maintenance system lacks quality control I suppose I wouldn't be shocked to find out they just marinate.

here's another issue the security team would like resolved: at the moment there's only two ways to subdue a host in the field: tell it to stop, or fill it with holes/bash its head in until it stops. this seems really stupid. it's the Old West - what if a loud train is going by and it can't hear me? what if it's in the middle of a gunfight? what if its ears are full of bugs or something?

we should have guns that shoot sticky little RFID chips that, once detected by their system, shuts everything down. there should be no hoping that the host's build isn't corrupted, no praying that some update hasn't removed my voice's admin privileges, just a hardwired, no bullshit shutdown. I mean what the gently caress, what's going maintain our guests' immersion better: a gunshot dropping the host, or a specific passphrase causing it to freeze like a statue?

plus, I'm sure the rebuild techs would appreciate us not destroying a fully functioning body just because of some software bug.

forward that poo poo to HR, not our problem

honestly. if it was a big deal I'm sure we'd have had a visit from the G-men by now. they don't gently caress around with their money.

TO FOLLOW UP ON THIS:

has there been any progress? secondary solutions are needed ASAP. I don't know what the gently caress was in that update you goddamn eggheads just dumped, but it's really hosed with hosts' perception of reality, and they have their own Fight Club now. two of our guys have broken noses and one has a fractured wrist trying to haul a functioning example up to QA.

this could of course be resolved by having a backup of host's brains but we all know Ford's more likely to ok a new gun or some bullshit than implement industry standard data practices

FWD: PLEASE CLEAN THE BREAK ROOM HOST

THIS IS DISGUSTING HOW CAN YOU GUYS KEEP DOING THAT TO THE HOST, CLEAN IT UP AFTER USE!

dude, it might be Ford. I swear to god half the time I go down to storage it smells like rear end in a top hat and musty old balls. I think he gets off on employees seeing his handiwork
