I'm working with thousands of IT and Information Security people, and a loving single digit including myself number of people who actually know poo poo about computers.

Now try it with a piece of code that's equally complicated, but hasn't been plastered all over the internet with tons of explanations including a whole-rear end wikipedia article.

Even simpler, ask it what weighs more of one pound of feathers and two pounds of lead.

A ticket came in that only one of the two monitors on a user's system is working. Figured it was a dock issue, turns out someone stole the DisplayPort cable right off their setup. Who steals a DisplayPort cable?

Other than that, how is your first day of helpdesk going?

We have sites in Iceland and kit is expensive over there, so my boss had the bright idea of swapping some UK laptop keyboards with Icelandic ones. Should be simple, right?

Nope!

Might have been easier just to swap the different keycaps between them. Not a great idea, but not worse than what you're doing now.

The service accounts with domain/enterprise admin whose passwords are stored in the description field in AD.

Don't need the description field when the password is the same as the account name.

From the other side: I ordered 500/50 to my then new house last year. My order went through, confirmation came back, and my line then measured a spot on perfect 100/10. I had to call my ISP (Telenor) five or six times over two weeks before I got someone who finally understood that they had configured the wrong product on my port. The first four people I spoke with all escalated the issue to technical checks, who just closed the case because my line was of course perfectly fine. One of them suggested that because I had 5 devices in my house, each of them would get 100/10, and fought me when I objected that that's not how it works. The last one I spoke to said "Oh, I see you have the wrong product on your port, I'll fix it". My modem rebooted and I was back online with my desired speed in two minutes.
