Speaking of Microsoft's quirks, has anyone written anything in DAX? It's their analysis language used in Excel, Power BI, etc... The entire language is a quirk.

Worst language, by far, that I've ever worked with. I'd rather write in Perl all day than DAX. The more I learn/use DAX, the more confident I grow that a good percentage of the Power BI report out there aren't displaying their intended calculations.

My grandmother told me that AI was the antichrist and facial recognition was the mark of the best at Thanksgiving last year.

There's clearly someone passing that claim around to scare the old folks. Sigh.

I wonder what conspiracy theories I'll believe in when I get old(er). :smith:

Years ago the wife insisted on getting smart thermostats for the radiators. I asked if we could still set the temperature if internet went down.

She lied and said yes. :smith:

I like to imagine Juliet gets to the office at 8:05 AM, sits down with her first cup of coffee, and begins to read responses to yesterday's phishing attempts. Suddenly, she's sobbing.

Today, FB reminded me that five years ago our O365 tenant had licensing issues due to our reseller. IIRC they had been selling us edu sku and skimming the difference, and an audit from MS disabled about 85% of our licenses. That was a 'fun' day.

Oof! How did that play out?

Check out this fire hazard I spotted the other day

Shut it down.

I used to see that poo poo from time to time in the hospital, on floors packed with immobile patients.

Onboarding is not an IT task, it is a line manager task. Line manager gets the laptop and the credentials (temporary access pass if you're on board with all that) and gives them to the new hire when they turn up.

That's been my experience as a user for the past 3 jobs. My managers handled everything when I showed up.

"Hello we wanted the cheapest solution possible so we bought a webcam and it's not picking up the sound very well in a meeting room that seats eight people, what can we do?"

Stop being tight, buy the right stuff would be my suggestion.

By seven more webcams, problem solved.

I’ve been plugging away at my WGU degree, I learned the basics of ansible and did some python, now it’s on to the real python class that some other goon was complaining about. Problem is I’ve got one class left after python then I’m done. I think I was going to study for more networking certs afterwards

:hfive:

I start my WGU up in a month. I'll definitely be plugging away at it while on the clock...

Move to Ireland. In the middle of summer it technically doesn't get dark at all.

I've day dreamed about it. I haven't done a ton of research but I guess there is some sort of "Critical Job" list where foreigner workers would have an easier time of moving there and finding work? I'm not sure if IT is on there but Nursing is, and I have a dusty but active license.

How do you say "You have the diabetes" in Irish?

This waterfall of consequences is why I don't consider a load of laundry to be "done" until it's washed, dried, and out of the dryer and into something that's not a laundry basket. My partner has enough clothes that she will sometimes have a load in the washer just slowly mildewing along with treating the dryer as the final resting place for an additional load. Laundry basket is of course full of a clean load as well. It's sad the amount of tension this can create due to her not seeing anything wrong with it and me worrying that she's having anxiety or stress issues because who wants to deal with that mess all piled up.
