    I know how to use it, but the fuckfaces in IT keep taking away my admin privileges!

    Tried bribery?

    Asking for a local admin account that you promise to only use for (specific repeated and boring task) and not to log in with?

    If it were a longstanding issue, one could be made local admin on the PC via their domain credentials. This puts the PC at risk, but the whole network is relatively safe.

    I know how to use a computer. The work system is butts. My first rule of computers: never use outlook ever for anything. Work's first rule: use outlook for everything. With 100 add ons. That all crash all the time.

    This i will agree with. The add ons in a law firm are fucking ridiculous and the cause of a million problems, but it's because of security and confidentiality requirements...still i bloody hate them

    They want us to use this 3rd party app now to get emails on our mobile devices, that also force you to change your unlock code every week or so

    and I'm like you're fuckin' kidden me hell to the no

    These are words... but they don't make sense.

    There are just add-on document management systems built into Outlook and Word and other Microsoft applications--isn't this p standard? Like DocsOpen and stuff? They're supposed to keep documents internal and accessible/it bloody belongs to the firm ok, not you. But they crash allll the tiiiiiime

    See, all the good IT people get out of Law and you're left with clusterfucks like this.

    There are so many add ons. We hired a consultant once. He surveyed us and then told us that he never saw a law firm that was unhappier about their systems. He said a lot of it was because we use outlook more than any other firm (everything runs through it, including our file management system, our comparison software, our fax system, our citation tracking utility for some reason, and our contact management solution). We made no changes. But hey, at least we upgraded from WinXP to Windows 7 last year. . .

    More than 1 million credit cards were activated to work with Apple Pay in the 72 hours following its debut, and the service is already the industry leader in contactless payments, Tim Cook said Monday during an interview at a Wall Street Journal tech conference in Laguna Beach, Calif.

    ...

    Cook's optimism comes amid news that CVS and Rite Aid have both stopped accepting Apple Pay. One of the reasons? They want to keep collecting data on shoppers.

    Cook drew a clear line on Apple's privacy policies.

    "We believe that your data is yours," said Cook. "We're not about collecting every detail about you and knowing what time you go to bed and where you spend your money, what things you searched on, none of that. We don't read your email, your iMessages. If somebody tries to get your FaceTime records, we can't supply it."

    Cook acknowledged, however, some pushback from law enforcement agencies on recent iOS 8 updates (which have added further measures to encrypt data).

    "I look at that and say: If law enforcement wants something, they should go to the user and get it. It's not for me to do that," Cook said.

    MAC IS BEST FYI HTH

    I rocked the boat today. Nothing will come of it, but I just wanted to remind people that forgot about Lud.


    Yesterday I was working on a problem with the backups. I kept getting included on an email (along with my other coworkers) to take care of another problem. Finally at the end of the day, I am asked to do it directly.

    This morning, I ran a report on myself and the coworkers and sent the results to my boss showing one coworker that did one ticket all day whereas the rest of us did many things. I basically said the next time you need something done maybe you should ask the person who stood around talking about football all afternoon.

    Not really. Huge corps use that kind of stuff, for everyone that doesn't have 10 IT guys on standby to help fix issues like this, I'd just slap you on thunderbird with the lightning addon for calendar stuff and lease it through google's business shit and call it a day.

    And have some sort of backup system going for the retention stuff. Why does it need to be integrated into a document system? Probably doesn't, but you probably could do it easily. This can easily be a step called "Save documents to shared network drive" where the document system automagically imports from.
