    I remember when I went to an Iowa branch and the manager's office was covered in Hawkeye wallpaper. He just grinned at me and said, "Yeah, you like the wallpaper??"

    Me: "Yeah, it's a nice color. So this is what we're going to be doing today..."

    One thing I've learned from living in the Midwest is to just...just stop giving a fuck about college football. Just fuck that shit, and all the tribal fucking nonsense that comes with it.

    Just... just leave.

    I have to drop this here, now.

    What do Hawkeye (U of I) and Cyclone (ISU) fans have in common? Neither of them attended the University of Iowa.



    This is a super niche joke.

    But for those of us in that niche, it's ruhl good

    fun fact - I went to U of I for a semester and dropped out, then went and graduated from ISU a few years later. Never attended a single sporting event.

    SSO and authorizing PCs is finicky as fuck like that.

    That's the trade off to not having to memorize all those passwords and sign in every fucking day every time you want to use it.

    180 days is probably too much though, I'd say 14 is reasonable. Better yet, have the procedure in place to disable the user in all systems like that.

    Yea like, literally this morning I was talking with my manager about how we really need to have a better onboarding/offboarding thing than what we currently have in place, because while technically part of it exists now, it's not getting followed the way it should be.

    And again, I get that it shouldn't need to check against AD every time. But it should still have to poll AD on a much more regular basis. Like, not even password checks, checking to see if it's still a valid AD account would be nice.

    It just seems like a really weird oversight.

    What the fuck is with printers for which drivers apparently don't goddamn exist?

    I'll be fucked if I can find a Canon MF8300C driver. 8350, yes. 8300? Might as well ask for pictures of Bigfoot pooping out a Chupacabra. Canon basically pretend they never made one.

    Will the 8350 drivers work? Maybe! Probably? I don't know, lets find out!

  • CogCog What'd you expect? Registered User regular
    Oh, okay, I see how you are Canon.

    You download the 8350 driver and then when you point Windows at it, the package actually contains the 8300 drivers.

    Eat my shit, Canon.

  • wunderbarwunderbar What Have I Done? Registered User regular
    *most* of the time, the drivers for a series are all the same.

  • CogCog What'd you expect? Registered User regular
    Sure, but I would expect the "series" to be 8300 and include the 8350. Why am I downloading 8350 to catch my 8300.

    That's not how numbers work, Canon

    Processing 5.5GB of XML takes a long time. Who knew?

    5.5GB of XML? Must be medical.

    Who else even uses XML anymore?

    A big bank.

    I want to switch to json as that will drop the size significantly and also probably increase the processing speed but there are challenges and time constraints right now.

    My experience with Canon copier drivers is that the driver package includes drivers for pretty much all of the older copiers. It’s like, here’s the “3500 driver” but actually it’s actually the “copier drivers.” It’s definitely better than the mishmash of HP drivers, where at one point I had a printer that was 3 years old (to us), but it only had a Vista driver even though Windows 7 had been out for like 5.

  • CogCog What'd you expect? Registered User regular
    Well that driver actually crashed the spooler service on the 2016 service, so that's.... great....

    I was told to implement a new system for users. I installed it. I tested it. It works. But no I'm not going to plead for users to use the new system that they don't love. It's for the higherups to make them use it as they don't report to me.

    Newer versions of Windows have a printer isolation feature so that at least it doesn’t take down the entire spooler. I think you enable it at the driver package level. I’ve had to do this with the drivers for some very old HPs that we have.

    I got an e-mail from a recruiter today for "Mobile Phone Technical Support"

    The second bullet point reads: "Work with Excel spreadsheets for rollout of 7,000 mobile phones (main resource for user list to order, track and keep up to date)"

    good luck with that one, buddy

    No, ma'am, I will not send my technicians on a service call in the middle of a thunderstorm.

    No, I understand you need Internet to do your job, but I won't endanger my technicians.

    Ma'am I'm sorry to say this, but if you keep insisting, I have no choice but to notify you that we're terminating our service with you.

    Ma'am, you're actually talking to the manager. I'm the one saying my technicians can't go out, and I'm the one saying we will terminate services with you if you keep insisting that I send my technicians out.

    Yes, I can schedule you for as soon as the storms clear. Thank you.

    Holy shit.

    You guys.

    This is like all-time fucking stupid.

    I just got snagged to look into an issue holding up our Kaseya deployment for a client.

    Their DNS was a mess because of course it is, two of their servers were set for primary DNS lookups to a server that no longer existed. Their secondary settings pointed to a third server who's primary DNS was one of the servers configured to point to a server that no longer existed. This does help explain the fucking 88000ms latency. I could walk the fucking packets there faster. That's legit about a minute and a half ping time.

    The fucking coup de gross though was their IP addressing for their servers. One of their DCs, and their god damned HyperV server were configured for DHCP, with static reservations on the DC\DHCP server hosted by that same fucking HyperV server.

    I just

    Konica pulls this shit.

    Go to download the driver for, say, a Bizhub 550, and the zip file is named something like "Konica_400_600_x64.zip"

  • CogCog What'd you expect? Registered User regular
    Since the specific driver is crashing the spooler, I think I'll probably end up with the universal.

    But like.. if your shit crashes 2016 servers, maybe mention that before I download it on 2016.

  • LD50LD50 Registered User regular
    Maybe don't have drivers that crash 2016 servers at all...

  • CogCog What'd you expect? Registered User regular
    You're not wrong but we both know the chances of that happening.

  • CogCog What'd you expect? Registered User regular
    I never thought I'd say this but

    Canon why do you not have a universal driver?

    This is fabulous. We're going through and removing various login passwords from the plaintext scripts and schedules.

    Get that all done and I'm checking over the output.

    The scripts all log the user/password info to their status logs.

    Bring this up to bosses; "Well, it's too much work to change the scripts. Just leave it alone".

    Hrm, our filtering software has a certificate that is automatically pushed out to managed devices. Any devices that are personal devices, or most of the laptops, are not managed. They don't seem to get the same filtering certificate. The firewall still blocks things but the other filtering software doesn't allow certain users to access other sites that they should be able to access. I don't want to unblock those for everyone, just a few people. Our filtering people's support made me pull teeth to get information and it appears I need to manually add that security certificate to chrome or people's phones in order to let them use it to bypass the block. Is there an easy way to do that for all users on the network? Am I being too vague in this post?

    Short answer: Fuck 'em.

    Long answer: You would probably need an MDM to push out certificates to phones.

    Best answer: Fuck 'em.

    That's fair for phones, but for the laptops that are owned by our organization (and yet not managed, that's a longer term project at the moment) I'll have to go around and hand 'em out. We have jamf for managing all the ipads but haven't paid for laptop management.

    If they're domain joined you can push the cert out through AD.
