switching over to new ticket system and the new paradigm of actually needing to create tickets now that we're part of our new MEGACORP that bought us instead of a ~1500 person company
so much bitching from the 45+ set
cool your damn shit people

I just got an email from a client asking for the root login credentials for a couple of servers so he could go in and verify we completed some security recommendations they wanted us to implement..one of the recommendations? Remove root logins..derp.

That just means the verification was successful!
It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

I have no idea how people manage to get them all slinkied up.
I have had the same phone cord on my phone for almost 10 years with no problems.
Mine is a tangled mess and I legitimately could not tell you how it happened. It's as much of a mystery to those of us it happens to as it is to you.
It doesn't impede my ability to pick up the phone in the slightest, though. The speakerphone button is my BFF.
Speakerphone is the devil and those who use it for anything but a conference call with multiple people are bad and should feel bad.
I wouldn't use speakerphone if I weren't the only one in the basement room I'm tucked away in.
maybe that's *why* they have you tucked away in a basement room. :biggrin:
lol
But I have legitimately not had to share a room full-time with anyone in my current stint here. I was tucked away in an "office" with no AC in a warehouse in another building to work on a Windows 7 rollout that involved 160 machines before I took over the room I'm currently in.
If I could go back in time and change one thing. I would prevent the invention of the speakerphone.
fax machines
I HATE fax machines with the fire of 1000 suns. It's 201X's no one should be using these things anymore. Just as bad are fax to E-mail because every solution fails and you could go weeks down before someone lets you know.
User: "why didn't you know it was down" .
Me: "Because I don't get FAXs and this thing won't send out notification that it's down"
User: "What do you do when somoene needs to send you a FAX?"
Me: "Tell them no. After that I tell them to just E-mail the document because no one uses these things anymore"

I'm surprised a someone who is supposed to be a tech would complain about that. I'm in that 40-45 range and I love learning new stuff. Are they all level 1's?
Faxes are weird because lawyers and doctors think they're impervious to being spied on and that they protect HIPAA/Client data.
A passworded zip file is more secure than a phone line ever was.
Phone lines are even less secure day because they're "fake" analog now. POTS lines are piggybacked off fiber now (at least where I live). Take that one to the bank with ya.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

Ugh, I've had this exact conversation at work:
Random PA: Hey, can you fix the fax machine, I can't send out this [medical form] to [doctor] in [clinic].
Me: Why aren't you just putting this as a PDF in your shared folder with [doctor] on the network drive?
Random PA: I have to fax it because of HIPAA.
Me: No, you don't. The network drive is HIPAA compliant.
Random PA: This is more secure.
Me: Sending a fax to a machine in a completely separate location which may or may not be attended-or could be picked up by literally almost anyone without you having any idea of it-is safer than using the secure shared folder that is only accessible by you and [doctor]?
Random PA: Can you fix the fax machine or not?
Me: You forgot to dial 9 to reach an outside line.

Faxes are insecure, but they still enjoy legal protections that other transfer methods don't.
Just remember that half the people you meet are below average intelligence.
Oh fuck you customer.
Got a guy who had their environment shit itself and corrupt they license key the program uses. So he requested a new one yesterday. I get pulled into it today and from initial e-mail to license being sent to him, turn around was like 20 minutes.
Replies e-mail to all with my boss and a few other people; "got them, thanks but gotta' admit, not the fastest response we needed."

He bought himself a Surface Pro so he could use facial recognition. By default, biometrics are disabled for domain user login. We should know the future and before he buys any piece of technology without telling us we should contact him and tell him that it might not work.

I'm not sure I'd call unable to launch programs in the context of a logged in user on a remote computer exactly 'gimped'.

you know, that's actually not a bad idea for a visual representation of a VPN when users aren't understanding what it is.
Since we all got it then this is a broadcast Packet.
